I'm still not out of the rabbit hole of searching for an #OpenSource #PersonalKnowledgeManagement software. 🐰
I'm gonna give a second try to @zettlr tomorrow! Their docs are *surprisingly* user-friendly and they claim to stick to the pure #CommonMark where probable. It's all the while being nice to researchers with citing, inline usage of #TeXLaTeX, #MermaidJS, and pop-over #footnotes. Provision of the simple #PDF export and #Pandoc customization are welcome, too!
But, to be fair, I may be overexaggerating how good #Zettlr is because of my recent disgust with #VendorLocking. In fact, almost anything that closely follows the common spec and is #FreeSoftware might suffice already. Having something as advanced and closer to the roots is certainly refreshing!

@mshelton or better: Look at your #IT #Refurbisher...
Chances are they have a ton of cheap #Lazer multifunction units for less than a full pack of #Ink needed to scan (!!!) with those shitty #Inkjet machines.
https://infosec.space/@OS1337/111822039091897824Also don't just ditch #hp for printers, but also #PCs and #Laptops, because their #ProBook series of machines do #VendorLocking of #RAM and will refuse to boot without manually confirming by pressing F1 on the devices' keyboard every single bootup (!!!), bricking #PXE-Boot & #WakeOnLAN / #WoL in the process just to #FUD #customers and #IntependentRepair service providers!
The problem is in #IT that #WhatWeAllowIsWhatWillContinue and we allowed Corporations like #Apple to sprearhead the #Enshittification with #GluedInBatteries, #SolderedDownRAM, #SolderedDownSSDs and #AntiRepairDesign!
The only winning move is to refuse to buy such shit!!
Get a @frameworkcomputer and a @fairphone / #Fairphone if #BuyUsed & #UseLonger isn't an option, because in #capitalism, your reciept is your vote - EVERY SINGLE TIME!

@[email protected] yeah, all professional laptops like #Dell Latitude, #hp #ProBook.and #Lenovo #ThinkPad do #VendorLocking on #WiFi and #WWAN cards for way over a decade now...

@[email protected] 'The only #VendorLocking I've seen are on #WiFi & #WWAN #cards being #whitelisted in terms of PCI-ID and MAC-Adress/IMEI number...
The only company that does #VendorLocking on #RAM is #hp with their #ProBooks, bricking #PXE-Boot in the process...
I had a work-issued #ThinkPad #P15v and that thing never complained about me swapping the 256GB NVMe for a pair of 1TB Crucial P1's...
I've never heard of #VendorLocking of #SSDs outside of #Apple devices...
