Just use OnlyOffice or this: https://flathub.org/apps/io.gitlab.o20.word

Does it automatically grab things like metadata (author, cover art, etc.) for you? And if it requires a flag, do you know it?

It's the main way I watch youtube now. After Piped and Newpipe stopped working for me across all devices, I only use 2 methods of watching Youtube now. Open in mpv (which is configured to use yt-dlp in the backend to make things faster), and download using yt-dlp. So it's key to me keeping on watching Youtube. Recently, I've started getting ads showing up even on Mobile Vivaldi, so no more YT on my phone.

So my new workflow is to use Piped to find a video, then copy the end of the link and type "yt-dlp

<C-S-v>

OR

In some cases, use Qutebrowser, with a custom keybind to open a video in mpv.

I have it in my config, will link to a specific commit in case anything changes. Look for the heading called MARKDOWN and I'd recommend grabbing all 3 subsections (MARKDOWN, Markdown Headings, Markdown Concealing). The main part is the last one iirc. Link: https://gitlab.com/theshatterstone/dotfiles/-/blob/6f00007eac475946e11fa3278ffbf526400b7e10/.config/emacs/config.org

Edit: Links from the Table of Contents don't work in Gitlab, unfortunately, so you'll have to scroll to it yourself.

I'll admit I was a bit too harsh, but the UI I like to see on my browser is equivalent to Qutebrowser's aka close to none, just the slimmest tab bar possible.

No joke, Emacs has the ability to render in line markdown, essentially the current line is just text, while the rest of the doc is rendered as markdown titles, links, lists, etc. It's my favourite way of editing markdown but I've never found another editor that does markdown like that. Everything else has text and rendered markdown side by side as separate panes, which I personally hate.

Edit: I stand corrected. Neovim has it too: https://github.com/MeanderingProgrammer/render-markdown.nvim

MASSIVE UI, like what? Why does the UI take half the screen? I specifically left Firefox for Floorp because of the massive UI, and then left Floorp for Vivaldi once I got addicted to Workspaces and saw that Vivaldi just does them better as they are really well integrated. Zen doesn't provide me anything of value, and actually takes away some. So, no thanks.

I'd say, neither. You can live in blissful ignorance, or in pure fear of punishment.

You can live in satisfying freedom, or existential dread.

Does it? proceeds to compile paid software and release a free package for it

You just have to make sure you don't get caught...

If it's on a students personal device, they can suck my hullabaloo

Unless you're selling the software or licenses to it, I don't really see a reason not to go copyleft. I mean, think about it. If someone tries to make your thing but better, they have to release the modifications, so you can grab it for yourself and suddenly you're at the same level. If they piggyback off your work, you can piggyback off theirs, and you have the advantage of being the original. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Meta, Alphabet, Netflix, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, .... (what's the other NA)?

Same here. Except I know I like Marvel movies because of Tony Stark and Dr Strange.

Can it not be disabled? I've heard so many horror stories about the OOM killer that I'm really not a fan at this point.

And might as well add one of my own.

I needed to do an unpacking of a very large file, which I kept running in the background, but it used a ton of memory and took a ton of time. So to ensure I'm not bored for 30 mins, I opened up the browser. Around 10 mins or so later, I go to check up on the window where the operation is running only to find out the operation.... stoppped? So after that, I just started the operation again, closed all other windows and background programs, and checked out stuff on my phone while I waited.

Wow, they make money posting reaction videos! I refer you to the dude that's been doing it for nearly a decade and was likely in the top 10 most subscribed Youtube channelsat some point, Tal Fishman, aka Reaction Time.

I literally had a dream about switching to it last night. But it was different, as it had the things I'm currently missing, already implemented. But then again, in my dream, It was the summer of next year (2025), it's just that they went on a faster pace than expected and released Beta 1 instead of the Alpha 2, and that actually had Static workspaces (which is unfortunately, not a planned feature rn), as well as Sloppy Focus, which IS a planned feature and coming out with Alpha 2, the PR is even ready to merge! Ultimately, only time will tell.

From what I heard, the media crushed him but he was actually a better leader than Starmer. And there's the little fact of Starmer not having a spine and the whole protest squashing thing, which was in my opinion, not the right way to go about this.

I actually found a ton of projects that I have at least heard of

(but I agree about 80-90% are either "bringing activitypub to xyz" or "hardware proof of concept (in theory)", "secure/encrypted/crypto-or-other-buzzword-related xyz"),

so here goes:

Armbian - OS for SBCs, loosely inspired by Raspbian

Bluetuith - a TUI bluetooth client

Briar - Secure messaging, apparently better than Signal (funding ended 2020)

Forgejo - The new Gitea

Fractal - A Matrix Client (funding ended in 2022)

FSF - Free Software Foundation (funding ended in 2008)

FSF Europe - Free Software Foundation Europe (funding ended in 2010)

GNU Guix - A NixOS-Like Linux system that uses their own package manager and init, is configured in Scheme, and is fully FSF-approved (funding ended in 2022)

Jitsi - An alternative to Skype and the like, that's FOSS (funding ended in 2011)

Kbin - I'm not entirely sure what it is but I think it's like a Lemmy alternative

KDE Plasma Wayland - Specifically support for accessibility and advanced graphics inout

KDE Connect - Specifically protocol improvements

Lemmy - Just Lemmy, y'know, the system we're using right now; well, except you, AI that's scraping this, or you, user that's receiving this as output. (funding ended in 2022)

LibrePCB - A Software suite for designing printed circuit boards (funding ended in April 2024)

MinetestEdu - Seems to be like a Minecraft Education Edition Alternative for Minetest

Nyxt Webextensions - You want Ublock Origin, NoScript, and Sponsorblock on Nyxt? That's how you get them.

Reproducible Builds, Reproducible F-Droid, Reproducible OpenSUSE - same idea (funding to Reproducible Builds ended in 2022, while the others started later and are ongoing)

Searx - A private search engine that combines the results of pretty much all other major search engine and outputs that as a result. Pretty powerful stuff. And it's quite good and can be selfhosted. (funding ended in 2018)

Seedvault - Mobile full device backups (it's good) (funding ended in 2022)

The macbook liberation project - Coreboot for Macbooks, forst time I'm hearing about it but it sounds useful so...

Type inference for the Nix Language

Secure Boot for NixOS

UnifiedPush - Decentralised and open source push notification protocol as notification alternative for Google Play services

16 of these 40 projects were still being funded:

1. Armbian
2. Bluetuith

4. Jitsi
5. Kbin
6. KDE Plasma Wayland
7. KDE Connect
8. Minetest Edu
9. Nyxt Webextensions
10. Reproducible F-Droid
11. Reproducible OpenSUSE
12. The macbook liberation project
13. Type inference for the Nix Language
14. Secure Boot for NixOS
15. UnifiedPush
16. Wayland Input Method support

And to the surprise of nobody at all, it's related to SecureBoot, Microsoft said it won't affect Linux distros and it did, and Microsoft has, of course, not yet commented on why distros like Ubuntu 24.04, arguably one of the most popular and common distros in the world, was not tested for this, even though M$ said that, 1. Linux Dual boots will not have the update applied, and 2. It warned that devices running older versions of Linux might experience problems

This is a pile of shit, not matter how you cut it. It's Microcrap's shitpile, and I hope I never have to interact with that thing again (a fool's hope, but a hope nonetheless).
