Hey there, sounds like you've never driven a car before. No shame! I'm more than happy to clear up any confusion.

Typically, roads with a single lane in each direction are not elevated off the ground. Meaning there is a location known as the "side of the road" where people are able to pull off if they have car trouble or are impeding a huge line of traffic. Unfortunately, this "side of the road" i mentioned previously is typically dirt, meaning that it's very dangerous to pass from. In many regions where common courtesy exists, pulling over to the side of the road (refer to previous sentences if still unsure) is very much appreciated.

Hopefully this helps! If you're still feeling a little slack jawed about the whole thing, feel free to let me know :)

Personal issues aside, do you have a source on their releases historically containing malware? Been a long time but I don't remember encountering any issues.

Hey welcome to Lemmy, second comment here :)

Wanted to say that I relate to the "productive procrastination" that PKM stuff like Obsidian can cause. I'm coming back to it again after Notion didn't work for me.

If I were to give one piece of advice to new users it would be to start small! Figure out exactly what you want to achieve with the software and then try to meet those needs with as little complication as possible. There are thousands of incredible community plugins out there but don't feel like you need to master even one to be successful.

Above all I agree with being proud of yourself for just writing things down, and accepting that your setup doesn't have to be perfect.

Thanks again for the comment!

Hey there, I just wanted to say that I really like this comment. I used to work a tech-centric position at an office type job and the amount of electronic waste there was insane. Seeing a huge dumpster full of old computer parts was quite depressing. Good on you for taking matters into your own hands. I would love to do something like that if I am ever in that sort of position again. Good luck!
