  • I love your question! I think these words are examples of a trochee!

    In English poetic metre and modern linguistics, a trochee (/ˈtroʊkiː/) is a metrical foot consisting of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one.

    It’s usually easy to recognize a word that’s a trochee because it’ll sound like kids TV show title: Teenage Mutant Ninja Power Ranger Mega Turtles lol.

    In this case, it’s trochaic dimeter because there’s two trochees. “LET’S-go RAN-gers!” You may have heard of iambic pentameter, somehow that one always seems popular to people. Well an iamb is just the reverse of a trochee, and pentameter means you’d put five of them on each line.

    Now that you know what trochees are, you’re gonna see 'em everywhere. Or maybe that’s just me lol.

    Edit: For extra fun, what do you think is going on with the clapping afterwards? I feel like we’re doing something with this at the end, but it’s late and I should go to sleep hahah. Good luck!



  • Has anyone used both Obsidian and Trillium? I use Obsidian, so that’s my reference point here.

    1. How does using Trillium feel compared to Obsidian? Rich text is nice, but I actually like how much Obsidian gets out of your way.

    Edit: Hmm, so hierarchy trees means things need to be in one place on the tree, but it can be “cloned” so it can have multiple locations on the tree. That seems like a very complicated way to day “in obsidian, you can link any note to any other note.” Am I misunderstanding anything here?

    1. How’s the conversion process? I have a lot of notes lol, and I find the [[Link]] format very convenient. It looks like this only wants to use text, which is fine but it very slightly breaks my train of writing thought as I prepare the link properly.

  • Reddit isn’t going to die overnight. It will probably not die at all (at least not as a result of this latest stupidity).

    I expect reddit will be like facebook in the long run. Facebook is still useful for specific things (marketplace, messenger), but otherwise it’s just a bloated zombie hippo now. Still massive and still moving, but definitely bleeding out lol.

    We’ll have to wait and see how July goes, after all the third parties get killed. In the meantime, the fediverse needs to become as high quality as possible, 'cause a bunch of people are gonna be deciding between a increasingly poor experience (reddit), and a fairly steep learning curve for non-tech people (fediverse/instances/threads/posts/boosts/favourites/reduce/magazines/microblogs/communities).
