Maybe not exactly MMO-like cause it's like Diablo and Path of Exile: Grim Dawn.

Dammit! I thought they'd pay me 10x the price instead to add the game to my library.

So it sounds like you want to keep using Quillpad, and so you're stuck with the folder structure, which is no subfolders, that Quillpad implicitly requires.

It kinda sounds like you need some way to "tag" your notes so that whatever application you're using would pick those up and be able to give you all notes with a particular "tag" in a view.

If that's the case, Obsidian can do that. You can keep the current folder structure (of just being a flat folder), and add tags to your notes (e.g. #my_tag). Then, instead of using the default file viewer, you'd look at files via tags. The only problem, though, is I'm not sure if there's a particular view that can do that.

And no, Vim wouldn't do what you want either, at least OOTB, cause it's just an editor and not a file organizer or indexer. Pretty sure that applies to Emacs as well. You'd need some plugin that would do that, and I don't think I've heard of one that would do this.

Not sure if I understood what you mean by "notebook", cause if you want your notes to subdivide, then isn't that what a folder can do?

Just to add to the many answers we already have here, if not summarize a little bit.

Anime in general English parlance refers to Japanese animation, though in recent years, it has slowly changed from the product of a country to a style that refers to the popular animation style produced in Japan. It's why we're hearing phrases like "anime-styled" becoming more and more often.

A number of well-known / popular games playable in the English-speaking world these days, with anime-styled characters, aren't from Japan, Genshin being one of the prime examples, from China, and there's those like Blue Archive, from South Korea (though iirc they get a mix of South Koreans and Japanese illustrators for their assets). Japanese pop culture has had a strong influence on many Chinese and South Korean youths over long enough to result in the creation of companies specialized in making anime-styled games and even the "anime" we know of (some people have mentioned a few in other comments). A lot of the times though, these anime don't really get as much attention from English audiences, unless you're in a circle who's attentive to that side of the market.

That said though, I've had people argue with me over the definitely of "anime" itself, saying that it should just be "animation". To those, they aren't wrong if they look simply at etymology and not what's evocated in anime-watchers' minds at the mention of anime. To be fair though, the line does start to get murky. I mean, take a look at this list I just looked up: https://whatnerd.com/best-non-japanese-anime-series/.

It's IMO from here, but Japanese anime has a few distinctive features: generally heavier use of detailed backgrounds, and scenes that prioritizes raw art prowess over animation techniques. There's also the fact that voice acting is just a huge scene in Japan, and so there's a lot of good talent that comes up, whereas everywhere else, the scene is rather limited. Underlying the success of anime is manga and (light) novels, which is also a really active industry in Japan. Comics are just quite limited elsewhere.

PR stunt or not, it sure did bring up the ugly sides of the Cons. Not that we didn't already have enough evidence of that.

Fuck those MPs. Grow the fuck up. You get thrown an uncomfortable dilemma and instead of handling and considering it, you would, instead get mad at the person who raised the dilemma, and engage in essentially classroom bullying?

MP Dawson, you aren't betraying the Cons if you leave them. They don't care about you or your morals, and there's no trust and / or honour between yourselves. Cutting such a relationship does not constitute betrayal; what is there for you to betray?

It's sad that this is basically everywhere these days, and employers will weigh your performance review based on whether you're using AI and how well you're using it. It's terrible.

I, for one, find it frustrating to use Windows when there are problems that you can't just fix via their control panel, because you'd be left with nearly no tools aside from hoping someone knows the magic registers to tweak.

That said, a lot of how to "fix" a computer issue comes just from how well do you know your system, or just systems in general.

Let's use your sound issue example. If it's a sound issue, well, for starters, what program are we using to control sound? Pipewire? Pulseaudio? Or straight ALSA? Then let's look at how to configure it. How do I know about them? I look up what sound servers are commonly used, and try to see if my system uses any of them? But how did I know about sound servers? Cause I tried installing Arch cause it's a good way to learn about how Linux distros are put together, and I ended up learning about the pieces in the puzzle that makes up a daily-drivable desktop system.

So there's a bit of curiosity and discovery process that helped me in setting up my knowledge to help situate and isolate problems in the system.

If it's some other distro, where I don't know how they've put the system together, I would definitely be a bit lost, but because of how transferrable a lot of skills and knowledge is in the Linux side of the world, I can probably find my way and figure out what needs to be done. Is it a lot of reading though? Absolutely!

It's both a curse and a blessing that we have many options on building up a system in the Linux ecosystem, cause we have a lot more options, but it does mean we don't have a central authoritative source or manual to things.

And this is sort of an aside, but use the Arch wiki even if you're not using Archlinux. It's one of the most fantastic resource for figuring out how to fix something in Linux, and to learn about various pieces that make up the whole puzzle. Give the Installation Guide a read even if you don't care about installing Arch.

Not only is China more erratic, we're talking about a government that has and is still actively meddling with Canadian affairs, and is already clearly exploiting our weakness to pressure the Canadian government into doing things their way.

In all frankness, I sometimes think that, to the CCP, Canada is nothing to them but a land that shares a large border with their largest superpower rival, and if we were to bend, they would be able to use us against the US.

This is such a bad title, almost like it's very purposely clipped by the National Observer to induce outrage against Carney. His full statement makes it clear that the gov's stance is such that the actions that the US took isn't condoned, but there are potential benefits for Venezuela.

We can argue about whether harsher words should've been said, but at a time when the US administration is emboldened to do extreme things and blatantly ignore the law or common sense, you can't deny that safer to be picking our words lest we be next, at a time when we wouldn't be able to resist easily.
