Re: [linux] Linux friendly device

[Mark Pearson]

I've been using Simplenote (https://simplenote.com/) as it works across devices 
- but I still prefer paper and pen. The reMarkable looks really cool as an 
alternative. 
I'd been tempted to get one previously and would definitely be interested in 
hearing about it - and how you use it in a Linux environment :) It looked like 
their support for Linux desktop integration was weak/non-existent which put me 
off.

Note-taking devices:  I either use an app on my phone called
"WriterPlus" or a notebook.  An actual paper notebook.

I take notes so seldom that buying a dedicated device for this would be
overkill.  Mostly it's just when I think of a joke and don't want to
forget it, so I write down the bare bones of the joke and flesh it out
later.

Regards,

Dianne.

I have been using my android phone for notes. But do I really want my personal 
notes going into Google 's data suction input? Not that I have any  really 
private info to safeguard. Maybe I need to also carry a reMarkable around with 
me. Good idea -- Rick

Attention : courriel externe | external email
I have been using a write-mostly device, one used to jot down hand-written 
notes in a completely paperless way. I am talking about the reMarkable 2. This 
device, although it has applications under Windows/MacOS, but not Linux just 
yet, runs itself under Linux, and There are multiple utilities available on 
Github, and everything is open.

If this is something that may interest some of OCLUG group, please let me know. 
There will be some Windows involved for the presentation, but it will not last 
long, I promise.

Thanks :-)

Good morning everyone,

When: 7pm Thursday Feb 2nd 2023
Where: https://meet.jit.si/oclug_2023-02-02_Wiz2MQTT_and_other_topics

This month we have an introduction to Dmitriy's new open source project 
Wiz2MQTT, which he offered to talk about at very short notice, so thank you!

I keep meaning to ask for volunteers to give talks, short or long, but usually 
remember a week before a meeting, so now I'm putting out a request for future 
meetings. If you have a presentation or demo you'd be comfortable sharing with 
the club, or a discussion topic you wish introduce, then please let us know.

In addition to Dmitriy's presentation, if time allows, I have a couple of 
discussion topics, which I've not prepared enough for a talk.

Topics to mull over, and I look forward to others knowing more about than I do!

Privacy, Secrecy, Security, and Accessibility
- Privacy - initiated by a couple of emails about this club's privacy rules.
- Privacy vs Secrecy - something we do, but don't talk about, vs something we 
don't want people to know we do.
- Privacy vs Security - moral intent vs technical competence
- Security vs Accessibility - PGP on your phone, medical records on the 
internet.

ChatGPT
If ChatGPT can pass exams for MBAs (says more about MBAs or ChatGPT?), then 
what are the implications for publicly available knowledge based work sectors?
- Lawyers, where arcane inflexible wording is required.
- Open Source software, if you can just ask "Hey ChatGPT, write me closed 
source code to replace libsomething".
- Family doctors, where symptoms lead to tests, which lead to diagnosis, 
which lead to treatment options.

Until Thursday

Tug
