Experienced it, no. Heard of it? Yes. And I’m pretty oblivious, so if I’m aware of it I bet it’s a widespread concept…

Did you intentionally pick the yarn to go with the purple thing your friend is wearing?

So I am very late to this post, but as a certified video hater thank you for posting the pattern in text!!

Aghhhh I despise watching videos to learn and was specifically seeking out static visual guides to learn continental, which is why I’m definitely not happy that my guide isn’t for continental. Thanks again for correcting my mistakes. Still not 100% sure what western mount is (a specific way to knit all on its own, like English and Continental? A foundation upon which those two build?) but I did retitle this to get rid of the claim it would teach Continental.

And this is the Fediverse, not a private conversation—feel free to post information! I personally feel the more useful information, the better, and would like more information. But even if I did not, someone else browsing the thread might appreciate it :)

Hope this guide is not incorrect.

Ouch. As someone trying to learn continental, who found this online and posted here thinking it was a good tutorial, thanks for letting me know I gave people misinformation. Would this actually be English style or is Western style something different? (In honesty, when people use words like “front of stitch” and “back of stitch” and “leading leg” I just flat out do not understand.) If so, I’ll retitle my posts.

For dummies like me, Cornell NTS is just Cornell Note Taking System, which seems to include but is not exactly the same thing as Cornell Notes.

I feel you on the reorganizing and cleanup—same reason I do all my transfer manually.

As someone who also tries to avoid video as much as I can and favors text and static images, thank you for bringing this to my attention. I knew of the Internet Archive but never bothered with its search bar beyond just pasting in the URL of the webpage I wanted to see previous versions of, or the webpage I wanted backed up.

Neither, what I currently do is draw it in some drawing software, export an image file from it, and embed the image in Obsidian. I have been thinking of looking into Excalidraw and Canvas thanks to how much everyone talks about it.

I checked your bio and instantly found the existence of pkm.social. How is Mastodon going for you, anyways? I double checked on my Kbin instance and the Mastodon posts (toots?) you made to @obsidianmd@lemmy.world just plain don’t appear to me unless I am on your profile. I have been considering Mastodon but I was never a Twitter user so I never made the conversion. And how is pkm.social? I like personal knowledge management, and I’m wondering if the Mastodon community for it is more active than the Threadiverse or whatever we call Lemmy and Kbin.

PTPL posts?

It would be pretty hilarious if “Math” was one of the foreign languages you could learn with Duolingo

I was going to ask why an innocent-seeming community was restricted to 18+ and then I saw the description of the community explaining why, so props for anticipating questions.

Regardless of my own stance on these things, just happy that you intend to have the community talk about ways to change stuff. I’d browse different subreddits and found way more “X sucks, here is my emotional vent about it” than “X sucks, here are some steps I took to make it suck less or affect my life less, even if they were tiny steps to combat a massive complex problem”. Was particularly frustrating when I was searching for a solution for a problem that applied to me, even making a post about it, and I got a ton of “I have been there too, you are not alone” but no actual actionable advice. Solidarity and empathizing helps but sometimes you just want practical advice, and given just how many spaces will give you a place to vent, it would be nice to have a place free of it that sticks more to how to fix it.

I recognize the irony of me just blathering about my feelings here, talking about how you are doing the opposite of the thing that sometimes upsets me.
