On September 9th, Notion will delete the data of all Russian users due to new U.S. sanctions.

Yes. That's what "workspace will be terminated" means.

Are you 100% sure they will "delete the data of all Russian users"? That's not what it reads like to me

File over app, I'm only vaguely familiar but is that sort of like IPFS?

Hey Steph, I read this cast and wasn't sure that concept on "file over app" entailed. So I did a search and it lead directly to your article "File over app". 
Half way through, it made sense, but I had more questions; how do we actualise this concept in everyday life and software, does blockchain/decentralisation solve this?

But at the end of it, I saw you use Obsidian and you are CEO as well.

Just fyi, you have a new user.

Absolutely outrageous - the more the west keeps engaging in these actions the more I start to wonder if Putin’s “propaganda” has some truth to it. Very very stupid of them to keep eroding faith in our institutions like this…
