Ugh, "grow on social" is such a contradiction in terms, especially when using automation and strategic platforms. Growth as a commercial impetus is never social.

For one thing, no — a brand trying to sell you stuff isn't your friend, period. For another, this is such a tired 2010s tactic. Please let it lie.

Look, I'm glad there are FLOSS tools for influencers and brands. Let's make everything FLOSS on principle! What I do react against is turning social platforms into what are essentially advertisement channels.

I personally favour human interaction over nondescript, one-way signaling from (individual or corporate) brands trying to "grow" their presence on social media. But that's just me.

Maybe if they hadn't decided to mislabel it "artificial intelligence", people wouldn't have unrealistic expectations.

Fwiw, I found this project that may or may not make a batch export possible (but I can't tell if that includes front matter): https://github.com/kursad-k/joplin_batch_exporter

Will probably take a good deal of finagling. I've seen plenty of file converters, local and online, but markdown to ICS sounds super esoteric.

Is there even front matter in Joplin files that could fill in the required fields of an ICS?

You really only need the "CD ROM" repo for the base install from physical media; maybe there are edge cases where you'd want to roll back, but on the whole you're in safe hands with the official, Debian stable repos 🙂

Enjoy the Linux journey! Debian is a great starting point to learn from, IMHO.

Did I mess up by doing that and create a situation like that?

No, this is standard procedure. Your system and software have been updated to the latest, stable version. Unless you actively add a repo containing unstable software versions, there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

I predict that this attempted stache is going to generate comedy gold:

See, I'll be fine.

You read my mind! Now help me read this dead mechanical drive, would you?

I'm waiting for the disk to stop clicking before I back it up. Any day now!

Oh man, what a headache to maintain! If that's the case I understand why the resource deprecated after 2020.

Agreed on the project's impact and importance! Raising a small altar to Alexandra Elbakyan right here.
