If it is worth keeping, save it in Markdown

And the official Obsidian Web Clipper does just that. It saves the content to your vault as a markdown note.
As far as I can tell this is a desktop plugin. On mobile it only brings across the plain text.

Interesting stuff, but my main takeaway is that very little of my output is worth keeping! (Who's going to need out-of-context Star Trek shitposts in 20 years?)

That website was the fastest loading website I’ve ever visited.
That thing loaded before I even click the link.

No print it, everything digital needs a fairly complex machinery to work.
Do both and use the digital copy to print a new physical copy every x years.

Man alive, all that time I wasted learning LaTeX in that case. Supports tables properly, "floats" pictures and figures about without messing up the flow of text, exceptional support for equations, beautiful printed output...
Suffers from a completely insane macro-writing language, and its markup is more intrusive in the text than markdown's is. Also, if you have very specific formatting output requirements (for a receiving publication, for instance) then it can be somewhat painful to whip into shape. Plain-text gang forever, though.

I felt like I was back in the 2000s when I first got cable internet, but before ads took over everything.

You made me click the link out of pure skepticism. You were not exaggerating.

Ugh tables are really the killer. If my editor doesn't support tables then I avoid them like the plague.

I don't use it though. I tried and forgot

You will probably be a fan of https://kagi.com, then. I know it’s what I first noticed and what stood out to me a couple years back…

You'd like the mcmaster-carr website.

gotta hop on obsidian, everybody's doin it
Idk, I would be cautious about trusting my personal notes to a proprietary piece of software...

LibreOffice opens my old WordPerfect documents just fine
WordPerfect really comes from a different time. Good look reading the stuff from your iOS notes app that saves everything somewhere in the cloud and that has no export option in 10 years.

Preposterous. You need only install the iCloud client, and they (along with everything else in your iCloud drive) sync just fine.

It loaded quicker than this comment section on my Lemmy app

haaave you heard about our lord and saviour Typst?
same layout algorithm as LaTeX, but:
- simpler markup
- sane, consistent scripting language
- fast compilation, including incremental updates so you can have a process watching your file and instantly create a new PDF on changes
- easy collaborative editing through their web app

I pay for and use kagi, but it is one of the slowest websites I use, so I am not really sure what this comment is referencing? Is it fast for others?

Your kids in 20 years trying to find your will, will love you.
Search around for “death file” - you'll be surprised how many things people need to write down over & above their will, and the next generation might just search for exactly this
