  • It's easy to make ur content read nicer

    article > * { max-width: 65ch; }

    I read a lot of technical blogs and I wish more had a rule like the above. Aim for between 65-75ch would be my advice, based on your font's width.

  • can anyone remember how to hide obsidian's default icons in the sidebar? They've re-appeared and I don't like it.

    A tree-view structure that has various items in one level of nesting. Each item has a custom icon, but also a default folder icon

  • Knowing Trump and how he is, a logical de-escalation strategy would be to relentlessly pin him as Netanyahu’s lap dog because it’s clear how fragile Trump’s ego is and how thin-skinned he is.

    The mainstream press are already in full fucken war porn mode though so unlikely.

  • Pro tip: if a subscription service requires you to call/email to close your account (so a retention agent can beg you to stay), put in a GDPR request to delete all your data in line with your right to be forgotten.

    Works every time.
