You're too modest.

I thought of Joplin too. It lets you set an emoji for each folder and subfolder, but not for individual notes.

Also, depending on what OP means by "cloud," they can sync Joplin clients using a plain webdav server, even one that's just running on their LAN.

Even better when the singer "requests" it from their bandmate by name. (e.g. Honey Don't by The Beatles)

A great example of why I'd just about always prefer to get software packaged by my distro (Debian) over "straight from the developer" methods (including pip, npm, flatpak, etc.). I remember hearing about this and being like "Oh, that's bad, but it's not going to affect me."

i’m co-opting it for the power of love

Love was co-opted and commodified decades before you were born. Of a 1965 MoMA print edition, the artist remarked "It was the most profitable Christmas card the museum ever published."

More like sans of humor.

Gaim.

GIMP and Mozilla Browser were a couple of my early ones as a Windows user, but I probably saw those as worse, or at least less polished, versions of other software. Gaim (later Pidgin) was the one that first made an impression on me.

AIM was important software — it basically was social media to me at the time — and I'd stumbled into using third-party add-ons (for example, DeadAIM) for the official AIM client to add extra features and block the in-app ad banner. But it was always a cat-and-mouse game where AOL would try to block add-ons and the developers would have to work around that.

Gaim was refreshingly immune to all that stuff... it simply didn't support ads, and all its advanced features were built-in. That it supported other messaging protocols was a nice surprise too, and to this day has soured me on siloed, proprietary messaging apps. The GTK UI also looked and felt a little exotic on Windows XP.

When I finally moved to Ubuntu, having apps like Gaim, Firefox and GIMP ready to go made things pretty comfy.

There's been a rash of these celebrity Milky Way encounters over the last few years… just check the internet.

It sounds a little extreme but I recommend a self-keylogging app. The OS doesn't let them read password fields, you can generally exclude entire apps you don't want logged, and you can set how long the app holds onto your logs. Look for one that doesn't request internet permissions, of course.

They should implement karma on Lemmy, but just for you.

You can't just make up bands on Lemmy.

These are all kind of one-note jokes.
