Export markdown from Apple Notes, even in bulk...almost works.
In macOS Tahoe, you can finally export Apple Notes in markdown. This is great, and even exports images and handwriting from the Apple Pencil. You can also bulk export, which is great! Sadly, bulk exporting images and handwriting doesn’t work. It saves the images and handwriting in a file called Attachements, but then in the actual note markdown, all references to images are to a file called FallbackImage.png.

It’s papers into briefs, meetings into memos, data into charts, ideas into roadmaps etc.” // So much of knowledge work figuring out what the fuck people are saying and what you should do. And, on the other end, figuring out how tell people that. Using GenAI to de-BS business talk, and hopefully generate more actionable (hah!) talk would be great.

After migrating my Mastodon instance from social.lol to here, I seem to have lost about 1,000 followers. I’m sure they are enjoying a little less pictures of chairs next to garbage cans.
Getting a slice of the Kubernete$ management pie
How big the Kubernetes market?TAM-time for managing Kubernetes:
