Oddly their KCleaner program was among my favorites, but SuMO definitely was one of my most-used programs when I was scouring sites for updates.

Sad news.

Re: Obsidian - markdown editor

Supposedly there's a portable mode available via an interesting "Enigma protector" packaging software that reminds me of VMWare Thinstall Sounds like overkill? Doesn't the trick posted by hamasaki https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=105368#p105368 work as it is electro...

Re: Obsidian - markdown editor

Update : Obsidian 1.4.5 came out a few days ago (2023-08-31). This program has completely taken over my workflow and unified a lot of note taking tools I have.

Re: oldcomputers

Found some gems in here that I feel sure are only something that's interesting to me but I'll post it anyhow ... --- First, I have a running theory with mixed evidence that writing good tech manuals is a lost art.

Re: WhatsApp

E-mail seems to trigger higher quality in both, style and content. That's interesting -- I seem to have heard a lot of grumping on how people want to use something other than email, but maybe it's *because* of what you describe here.

I haven't seen anything on this in the years since the topic appeared. Unfortunately my best advice is to not use any Facebook properties, including Whatsapp, Instagram, Metaverse, Threads, etc.
