  • Well, fair I suppose. Definitions and semantics being what they are, and the FSF and OSI certainly have more basis for knowing when something is FOSS.

    However, the source is there and the project is open and active, that's good enough for me philosophically.

  • Can you explain? It's part of the FUTO project and has it's source available here: https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay

    And has releases available to F-Droid through the FUTO repo.

    I see the license heavily restricts commercial endeavors with the code, but otherwise seems quite permissive?

  • Educated people can still be hateful and stupid. It's just that most of those people turn their nose up at higher ed in American culture, giving the false narrative that higher ed "cures" hateful stupidity. For a small subset of stupid people with open minds this might work, but most people just choose a more 'conservative' college, avoid courses that challenge their beliefs, and carry on.

  • The general idea is that you use it to take notes on research papers or websites (optionally though it's Zotero integration), then when the time comes to write a technical paper, you can research from the comfort of your Zettelkasten, directly cite the research you took notes on and automate proper citations with BibTex, write in raw markdown if preferred, create tables natively, embed charts and graphs directly and properly track them using figure notation, do full layout templates in LaTeX, support LaTeX math equations, and a lot more.

    Basically it solves the fragmentation problem researchers have had for a long time by integrating all the standards instead of trying to centrally replace them or declare them unnecessary.

  • I'll also toss out Zettlr, which is ideal for technical/scientific writing and publishing. Massive displacement in the scientific/technical community pushing out the incumbent Google, Microsoft, and (gasp) raw LaTeX.

  • So the way it works elsewhere is much more simple and private. After you vote the results so far are printed on a receipt.

    You then drop your reciept in a drop box outside the polling place, which is run by an independent organization, usually run by or partnered with independent press. They can look at the receipt results over time to validate the vote is being conducted fairly and votes aren't being lost. Many also post the results so far so you can compare to make sure your vote counted for the person you voted for.
