J'ai commencé la lecture de Les trois mousqueraires, de Dumas, et je m'amuse à peu près à chaque page. C'est un un vrai plaisir ;)

I’m 99% sure they ripped the note editing functionality from Standard Notes.

Not sure to understand, how could anyone 'rip' a note editing feature? Put text in a file (hopefully encrypted since it's online) is kinda the purpose of all note-taking app... which they all copied from their analog (and much older) version pen + paper. And the vast majority of them do it using Markdown, too. Even sync is available in most note-taking apps (with or without E2EE encryption), or do you have something a little more specific in mind they would have ripped?

and try to sell them back to you with a yearly license, even if you host your own server.

That's one (other) reason I like filen: lifetime plans are available (the most interesting ones are offered for a limited-time once a year during blackfriday). No sub.

I still use a pen and notebook. But I have an excuse: I prefer pen and paper to write (and I'm starting to get old too) ;)

The only digital note taking app I still use is the one that comes with the E2EE filen.io cloud storage, from Germany. It certainly is very limited but it's more than enough for my occasional note-taking usage and it's synced everywhere I may need to access it.

I use...

• Hardbound sketchbooks from Royal Talens, a Dutch company, their brand is called 'Art Creation'. They come in sizes ranging from A7 to A4 (and square), with smooth thicker paper (120gsm, it's great for fountain pen and, well, for sketching and light watercolors too). They're re not expensive.
• Pocket (A7) spiral notebooks Clairefontaine. They're great for writing even with a fountain pen and, here in France at least, one can find them absolutely everywhere for a reasonable price ;)

I don’t know about other people but I don’t consider email to be a stressor, in fact it’s the opposite.

It is not for me either:

• spam is dealt with through relay emails, and spam filters. So it rarely is a bother.
• Unlike with say SMS and messages and, obviously, voice calls it's easier to take time before replying to an email. Which also helps in not dealing with anything under stressful situation, anger,emotion, whatever. Like we used to be able to do with snail mail. Its slowness impacted they way we were... angry or happy, about anything said.
• It's also easier to archive/search old emails, which help in building a trustworthy archive of previous exchange.

That said, like with message and phone calls and even more so with voice messages (I'm old enough to remember tape message recorders), I had to tell more than a few people I was not a their service, nor at the service of my device and them living &a message of some sort implied no quick reply on my part, if any reply at all. As many would get angry if did not get what they expected. But the stress there, was not because of the email, or the voice message, or SMS, it was because of the interaction I had with these persons. Those who refused to understand how I wanted communication to work between us, well either they quickly were forced to realize I was not useful to them and they quit bothering me, or I had push them towards the exit door. Including some family members. Doing that was so freeing, years later I still have zero regret.

Email is required for finding jobs, resetting passwords, unless I go completely without anything electronic, then it’s impossible for me to go completely email free

Indeed. That said, we should still be able to imagine a world without it, since it's a possibility. I do really wonder how many people would go to that far as to remove email from their live, though. To jump back to my other comment, email itself is probably not even that costly energy wise and can be done completely off grid when not used (it's a whole story the way we think we need/we got used to be able to access it at any time and instantly ;)

So my version of simple life includes internet and email.

Agreed. If things were to drastically change (say we're in a new global war and/or there is some major energy/climate crisis making online activities a luxury) I should be able to not use the Internet, but all things being equal I don't think it would be reasonable to remove Internet (and the email) from my live and it would not make it simpler. Curious to see if other may go in the same direction as the OP on Reddit, though.

I probably get a little too invested in how my journal looks but for me that’s part of the process.

I can understand that.

I create digital art journal pages so I can rearrange and resize things until I like the way they look.

That's one reason I try to not do that: I'm afraid I would spend all my time making it look better and never actually finish it working it. For anyone reading this that would also be in digital, do you have any suggestions to put a (time?) limit on that kind of faffing around?

Also, do you a specific journaling app that let you do all you want, or some image editing software?

For markers and fountain pens alike I would say paper matters a lot with ink, probably more than the ink itself. also, so-called wet writers (pens that live a lot of ink on the page will need a little more time to dry, that's why many fountain pen user will use blotter paper to dry the ink instantly.

From Linus's reply:

Honestly, what you have been doing is basically saying "as a DMA maintainer I control what the DMA code is used for".
And that is not how any of this works.
What's next? Saying that particular drivers can't do DMA, because you don't like that device, and as a DMA maintainer you control who can use the DMA code?
That's literally exactly what you are trying to do with the Rust code.
You are saying that you disagree with Rust - which is fine, nobody has ever required you to write or read Rust code.
But then you take that stance to mean that the Rust code cannot even use or interface to code you maintain.
So let me be very clear: if you as a maintainer feel that you control who or what can use your code, YOU ARE WRONG.

and

So this email is not about some "Rust policy". This email is about a much bigger issue: as a maintainer you are in charge of your code, sure - but you are not in charge of who uses the end result and how.

100% agree. No one should think they're entitled to be doing that.

Je voulais poster ça sur /c/utilisereuropeen mais les 2 co-fondateurs de GIMP ont l’air américains :(

Un des dev/mainteneur principal de leur toute petite équipe n'est-il pas Français? Jehan Pagès. Ou alors je suis à côté de la plaque?

Acting like if he owns a country and its institutions?
I do wonder for how much longer Trump will tolerate such a diva standing right next to him on scene?

(that's coming from a non-US citizen. I may not be the most well informed, mind you)
