The EU is looking to change regulations around repairability and greenwashing to make it more difficult for companies to sell short-lived products that do nothing good for the environment.

The new rules will ban greenwashing in marketing and require manufacturers to list whether a product is repairable, and for how long parts will be available, where customers can see it.

11 Best Open Source Note-Taking Apps for Linux (and many are Cross-Platform)

I make daily use of a note-taking app to record what I learn when problem-solving, prepare for YouTube videos, and much more. I save everything in Markdown format so that it is future-proof and stays compatible with whatever I'll be using in 20 years time.

I had originally got started with Evernote but exported everything to QOwnNotes later on. After that I started using Obsidian (powerful, free but not open source), and I'm thinking of making a change again back to something open source. Although I've also tried Joplin and Standard Notes, I never fully migrated to them. The beauty of an open standard like Markdown is that you can switch apps and just continue using all your notes from 10+ years ago.

The only issues you may experience are that some "features" like say generated tables of contents, Kanban, to-do's, highlighting, etc are not standardised in Markdown, so you can lose these when changing apps. But generally, headings, bold, italics, indenting, links, images, tables, etc are all fine. So, if you stick to one editor then go wild with the extra plugins, but if you want to retain compatibility across editors then you may want to think about what plugins you make use of.

Although not listed in the linked article, I see that open source and cross-platform (including mobile) Logseq has vastly improved, and I may want to give that a spin. Its feature is "everything is a referenceable block" with a block being a paragraph of text, and it calls notes pages. Only thing is it seems to mark the start of every block with a dot (and this shows in other editors) so hopefully I can disable that being inserted into the saved text. Its philosophy also centres around a daily journal where you just write your notes and can flag to-dos or link/search for anything. It also has whiteboards and graph views of linked notes (just like Obsidian).

Very interestingly, I noted that both Logseq and also Obsidian, have various Chat-GPT plugins to help generate content or even to rewrite your rough drafts. So yes, AI has already invaded open-source text editors!

Google introduced its Magic Eraser feature with the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, and it made a huge splash because it made it easier to remove uninvited guests and objects from images. Google wasn't the first or only one to bring an object-erasing functionality at that time, though. Samsung launched a similar feature called Object Eraser with the Galaxy S21 the same year, and Adobe Photoshop has been able to do it for many years. Google's clever implementation on the software front made it look almost like magic, but is Google's tool to remove photo bombers actually the best one out there?

Largely, your choice may be determined by whether you have a Pixel phone (or Google One subscription on any phone) or Samsung flagship phone. I have both, so this was of interest to me to see which one have the edge. It does appear that one does a slightly cleaner job of erasing, though.

There are also other third-party apps out there that do object erasing, but these were not evaluated in this review. But bear in mind, like moon shots, this is "faking" the photo.

A Drupal Backend developer should have a delicate balance between writing code and site-building skills.

They should know when to use existing entity types (content type, taxonomy etc.), when to create new entity types, and when to extend the existing ones.

They should know when to add a new field, re-use created ones, and develop their field type and formatter or develop just a formatter for the existing field.

They should know when to use existing views by creating a new display mode, creating unique views, or displaying the results using custom queries.

They should know when to use a contributed module, when to extend them and when to build it afresh.

And the list goes on...

If someone is better than one thing and not the other, project architecture and codebase become a mess in a few years, and then technology is blamed.
