Have you checked out cryptpad? It has some collaborative features and you can self host. Although it's not as great as Libreoffice in my opinion.

With my limited knowledge in the subject, after reading their paper, what I understand is, although they say it like it was a great success, their experiment, in its current state, will fail at scale. But, it is a progress compared to previous methods. Also, photons do not play nice.

Actually, wine used to maintain a fork.

Are these relays similar to fediverse instances?

I was just thinking if a self hostable tracking solution was possible. Right now, I use MALSync on Firefox. Used to use Tachiyomi, but stopped after they discontinued and tracking on Browder with an extension just feels faster. BTW, just in case, there's an app called Miru (and a fork Migu) that has built-in auto tracking with anilist.

Apart from space junk, satellites have massive carbon footprint.

I wish someone made Bookwyrm fork/clone but only for anime/manga. I don't really have expertise for something like this, but maybe I can try to create something while learning about it as I go on?

No matter how many times I see it, ⁂ just looks odd. I don't want to get used to them. I want my colorful old fediverse symbol.

I just plugged in my Fire TV and tried running urusai.social on the default browser (Amazon Silk) installed in there. It's not the best experience, but you can certainly use Mastodon, Misskey, Piefed etc. Also, you can install APK files in Fire TV. And I assume these will work on a Fire Tablet as well.

After Adam Conover said, "...mastodon is the linux of social media, no one will use it...", I stopped listening to his opinion.

I didn't know libgen was dead

I don't know understand why you need markdown, but if you are so used to vim motions why not switch to latex instead. You wouldn't have to worry about katex support as well. This is an advice solely based on your need for katex support without understanding your needs.

Tell me if I am wrong, but I am having a deja vu about this. Like, I have seen this featured in some other post as well, some time ago. Not this wave of post, but like, few months ago.

Aye aye captain, let me bring the barrels of rum for the voyage.

I am not apprehensive towards AI/ML but I don't want LLMs in my system. I have no need for it and it will just unnecessarily slow down my system. Instead, I want useful ML stuff, some autocorrct or autocomplete or better image processing in my camera app, you know the basic ML stuff that smartphones do since like 2017.

I think many people share your sentiment and have argued the same point in other threads

My point exactly. I don't want another useless thing slowing down my desktop

You had to say it.

I am currently trying to see if I can replace Firefox with Zen. Zen still has some Firefox telemetry but they are off by default, so I like it. I think difference under the hood is DRM. Maybe it is time to finally ditch Netflix.

Zotero is on Linux, and it has a LibreOffice plugin as well. Though, I do not like Zotero. Zotero is more geared towards reference management, but it also offers some pdf, epub management. But I find their document management too tedious. It's just easier for me to just rename files. That served me well for a long time.
