  Not ideal since you can’t easily sort by folder hierarchy but you can see your root files in All Notes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HelixNotes - a local-first markdown note-taking app (Rust + Tauri, AGPL-3.0)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for the explanation.

  I will continue to use it and provide feedback. So far, really great.

  I nearly take all my notes in markdown. I am always excited to try another open source markdown program.

  HelixNotes is super polished.

  Thanks!

  Interesting. Thank you for the info.

  Me again. Last time tonight, I promise.

  My favorite features so far, making the edit toolbar disappear in source mode and Focus mode. Quick access is also really useful.

  One more thing I don’t like, it was adding a header to my edited notes.

  Example:

  ---
  id: "9242199e-992b-4c58-9b4f-85a6949d424d"
  title: "Books"
  tags: []
  pinned: false

  This doesn’t look great in MacOS preview. This might be one of those things that it was simplest to just add this directly to the file rather than creating some kind of database or a bunch of dot files. Again, not a deal breaker for me.

  Thank you.

  Hi OP. I am really enjoying using HelixNotes.

  I love the way it looks and all the features. I was able to use the same folder I use MarkFlowy and Marknote.

  My only critique is the Ctrl key in Windows and Linux menu shortcuts is usually changed to Cmd for Mac. It really isn’t a big deal but I think a lot of Mac users will notice this instantly. I tried creating an note with Cmd + N since is the default for all other Mac apps. I saw the Shortcuts in the Info section and I was hoping you could customize the Keyboard Shortcuts, but you can’t.

  It isn’t a big deal with me. So far I am enjoying this more than MarkFlowy and Marknote. If you don’t change for whatever reason, I understand and I will continue to use your HelixNotes.

  Again thank you for your work.

  Mac user her. I’ve been using Markflowy after MacDown stopped development. I will give this a shot.

  Thank you for your work.

  Yes, let parents be parents.

  But we all know this is about control and not about protecting children. Sickening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Age verification lands in Italy − here’s how it affects VPN users⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is sickening. Restricting access should be done at the ISP level and should be opt-in for those with kids. A password can be set by the parent.

  We all really know this is about control.

  If you wait for a deal to January, you can probably get a Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus for under $700.

  If you want to really save money, you can get an S24 and it will still have half a year of upgrades.

  If this really about protecting kids, they could’ve done opt in blocking at the ISP level. Just a few new fields with ISPs and they have products that can take care of this already.

  This is really about tracking every little thing you do online.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mississippi's age assurance law puts decentralized social networks to the test⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It should fall on the parents and ISPs should have an opt in option to block adult websites.

  Also having no state income tax doesn’t mean you take more home, it means companies adjust the salary so you basically take home the same or even less. Sales tax is also high, about the same as NYC and SF.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Toyota Is Recycling Old EV Batteries to Help Power Mazda's Production Line⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From the article:

  In fact, the company has just begun field testing one application at partner Mazda’s Hiroshima plant.

  I wanted to see what their partnership was like so I checked on Wikipedia:

  In the past and present, Mazda has been engaged in alliances with other automakers. From 1974 until the late 2000s, Ford was a major shareholder of Mazda. Other partnerships include Toyota, Nissan, Isuzu, Suzuki and Kia.

  Source: Wikipedia: Mazda

  Wow. I didn’t really expect Mazda to be involved with 6 other car manufacturers.

  I delete my first comment because I specified what I meant in my reply.

  If you don’t think doomers existed after the year 2000 then look up “2000 anxiety” and “2000 paranoia”.

  But if I was really going to double down this would by my response:

  Many countries invested little to no money in Y2K and they were fine.

  Countries such as South Korea, Italy, and Russia invested little to nothing in Y2K remediation,yet had the same negligible Y2K problems as countries that spent enormous sums of money. Western countries anticipated such severe problems in Russia that many issued travel advisories and evacuated non-essential staff.

  International Data Corporation estimated that the US might have wasted $40 billion.

  Then I would ask you:

  Since you are such an expert on Y2K, what would’ve happened if the US took the same approach? What exactly would have happened?
