a chamfered wood edge catches light beautifully and honors the material you rarely see this on mass-produced furniture because it would expose the cheap particleboard underneath the veneer

Obsidian 1.8.10 is now available to all for desktop and mobile! - Fixed issues with numbered lists getting numbered incorrectly, e.g. when list items have leading spaces, or appear inside neighboring block quotes. - Android: You can now store vaults inside the app private storage which does not require "All files" permission. - Android: Physical keyboards and voice-to-text inputs no longer lose focus. - Android: Fixed bug where obsidian:// URIs would not fire their action if the app was previously closed. - Mobile navigation bar shows up immediately when keyboard is retracting, instead of waiting for it to finish. https://obsidian.md/changelog/2025-04-22-mobile-v1.8.10/

if you're using Tailwind you should still also use semantic class and ID names in your HTML to make your content more parseable (e.g. read-it-later apps)

if you're wondering why this or that feature hasn't been added to Obsidian, remember we only have three full-time developers (and not trying to grow the team)

currently Obsidian for Android requires full file access permissions because it's necessary for certain third-party sync tools and interoperability — but some users prefer narrower permissions in an upcoming version we're adding this option, do the tradeoffs make sense here?

E. M. Forster predicted the gradual decline of Spotify and Sonos in his 1909 short story The Machine Stops: "I can never be sure of my music now. It gets worse and worse each time I summon it." "Time passed, and they resented the defects no longer. The defects had not been remedied, but the human tissues in that latter day had become so subservient, that they readily adapted themselves to every caprice of the Machine." You can read the full short story here: https://stephango.com/the-machine-stops

Exakta Varex VX my grandfather bought in East Germany in the early fifties and gave to me. He just turned 94. I love a waist level camera. It's my favorite way to shoot.
