Spent probably a couple hours of my precious weekend trying to work out how to correctly setup Quick Add on my new second brain in #obsidian. Only to decide I did not like it and won’t use it (quick add, I mean, not Obsidian).

I hear my grandma in my head saying, “Lord have mercy,” right now. 😂😭

Joined bluesky hoping to play my little part, to be a drop in an ocean moving toward a time when people aren’t so reliant on Musk, Zuck, or the like for online communication & connection (also…just to be petty & contribute to them having a bad time), but given what I see so far, I must say…
