        CherryTree. I'm assuming orgmode in emacs has all the same features but emacs is all about programming and some people want text editors for things other than programming. But shit like Word isn't actually very suitable either. Those programs are so bad that some people run 20+ year old versions of them from when they weren't as bad as they are now.

        It's flash cards and you can get card packs for anything.

        Emacs and org-mode.

        As a teacher, I find it to be the best 'all-in-one' tool for my job. I use org-mode to write lesson plans, make schedules, track students' progress, take notes and so on.

        I have used many botnet services before, but none of them were as flexible as org-mode. It always felt like they were trying to put me in a box and do the stuff their way, whereas org-mode just gave me the tools which I could use to make my work more efficient.

        Org-mode aside, Emacs itself is actually a pretty comfortable writing environment. It knows where the beginning and the end of the sentence are and lets you move between them using keyboard shortcuts. Moreover, it has shortcuts to transpose characters, words, sentences and so on.

        Emacs is not without its flaws, though. You do need to spend a lot of time in order to configure it properly, and I do wish that this process would be more straightforward.

        Compared to Anki physical flashcards are actually useful because by writing the cards by hand you actually spend more time processing them.

        >What's the benefit of scoop over something like chocolatey? They seem to fill the same role.
        Scoop is really good for open source command line tools managed very similar to Unix. However beyond that the support of programs is a wild ride, some are godlike others are abysmal: I.e. Kdeconnect or LibreOffice. Scoop however does seem to package far more open source tools than chocolatey.

        Another benefit and issue with scoop is persistent and movable configuration storage through their persist system. However it locks all persisted files to the scoop install folder (default the C: user folder.) It breaks on trying to symlink or do anything to move the persist folder to a different drive.

        Also do not install browsers from scoop unless you do not need DRM or other certain features.

        >Scoop
        Good for command line stuff and sometimes niche fl/oss software.

        >Chocolatey
        Good for everything else.

          Most of the linux software are low quality.

          >program is tiny
          It is not plan 9's du is 52K, you could make a script in seconds that does disk usage visualization in less than 300K worth of total programs in a few minutes you could get it down to a handful of programs and 200K
          Making an entire program (with essentially random useless shit you have to learn)for such a task is head levels of moronation.
          >don't give a frick
          Ok, tell me what exactly the purpose of this information is, then? Just good to know? The point of computers is to transform data into other data, having to manually act on data because the program is non-extensible (or rather use their built-in nonstandard solution if it exists. And no, you can't add it in because it's closed source) is the definition of harm.
          >I'm not a moron to find it complex.
          You are a moron, so you don't find anything complex.

            Exactly the opposite, vegans need the support of an entire industrialized nation and to live in an urban environment just to survive eating their insane diet. This is directly comparable to the wincattle needing every program to do everything for them, but also in a nonsensical and backwards way that makes them jump through arbitrary hoops to get any real work done.

            Wrong again.
            Vegans are spergs that complain about everything and everyone. Who think just because they live a certain "ethical" live style they are better than everyone else and that they should get a medal for it or smth. You act like one and sound like one. Sucks to suck.

            Nope, and my posts have had nothing to do with "ethics" aside from not creating extra work for people. You seem to be trying to rationalize your own failure to use a computer in a semi-functional manner.
