It's great that etke.cc chose to build on nheko (a very fast Matrix client) and put in many thoughtful upgrades. I really hope Komai start getting built for macOS.

No, that would have a strong "damping effect" on much of the comms here. That's for signaling/logging you "really are" someone. That has a place and can be quite useful, e.g. when that is important. I don&#x2

I'm thinking maybe SeaweedFS [0, 2] or Versity Gatweway [1, 3] or RustFS [4]. Seems there are other options, too, e.g. Garage [5]. I only used MinIO briefly in the past, but it was good/worked, and I do plan to set up S3 blob stor

That's cool about the WikiSource parallel text+image page view, TIL. Thanks! As an example flow (since it took a minute to figure out): we can start at https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclopædia_Britannica

Very, very cool. Hats off. I've considered attempting a more limited form of this for years. For those who don't know, the 1911 Britannica is heralded for several reasons (and rightly criticized for regrettable others), but the

If GSuites was a typo for GSites (e.g., informal for Google Sites classic), then the sentence in TFA could work. IDK if such was the intent, of course.

Exactly my question. I double-tap the control button and macOS does native, local TTS dictation pretty well. (Similar to Keyboard > Enable Dictation setting on iOS.) The macOS built-in TTS (dictation) seems better than all the 3rd part

Yes, this. Even hardcover books from "real publishers" have arrived with low print quality. The most common problem book-printing problems I have a real problem with today are 1. text that is gray (not black) and 2. text
