Whoops, I forgot to enable the dark theme on the page; maybe the need to explicitly enable using the browser’s dark theme is why Safari doesn’t really bother. I’ve switched the dark theme to use Firefox’s colors, let me know if there’s anything that is still broken.
Could you upload a screenshot of this page?
The study is from 2018, and I wasn’t able to locate the original source from searching. Also, from the author’s bio:
Ph.D. Rocket Surgeon & Aspiring Troglodyte
The Hacker News discussion also does not inspire confidence…
Nim is still being developed. I can’t remember there being any major controversies regarding the creator of Nim; the worst I can think of is his rather strong opinion regarding the grammar of singular they. Here’s the context for his post, make of it what you will.
With Logseq, it leans more towards using a nested bullets style rather than a series of paragraphs. Although it has a document mode that hides the toplevel bullets, it feels like more of an afterthought (and with long paragraphs navigating tends to get wonky). They’re both great pieces of software, but the writing styles they are aimed towards are different.
What browser are you using? I’m currently just using browser built in styles for the color scheme.
I’m not sure, I’ve heard it can have trouble with bi-directional sync so I have a single send-only device as an authoritative copy. It does seem to struggle a lot with syncing ~70GB.
Thanks! I highly recommend making your own lists as well; there are many high-quality pieces of open source software that I would have never heard of had it not been recommended.
For QT applications, you can do eg. QT_QPA_PLATFORM=vnc lyx to run it without a window manager, though it seems less stable. There’s also Termux-X11 for running X11 without using VNC.
The repo a specific app comes from can also be checked by opening the list of versions, then clicking on one of the versions to show the details.
I don’t think it is so much claiming that open source doesn’t value time, but the opposite: (switching to) open source isn’t free, because it has a time cost that needs to be discussed. Technically the arguments holds for switching between any software, open or otherwise, but when your pitching to someone who already is using proprietary software that works well enough, the cost of staying can be much lower.
“Open source is free if you don’t value your time.” (forgot who that quote is from)
Sometimes the time investment is small, but especially for complex software, the friction of switching from one imperfect (proprietary) software to another imperfect (open) software makes it not really make much sense unless the issue is severe (house is half destroyed).
Obligatorily: I am not a lawyer, and license law is complicated.
MPL wouldn’t be the best choice, since it is per-file. GPL is copyleft and viral, meaning that if you make a modification and distribute the software, you must provide your modified source code under the GPL. AGPL is stricter in terms of when source code must be released; primarily it targets server software where the user interacts with the software, but does not actually download the software itself. The GPL wouldn’t require releasing source code, but the AGPL would.
As skullgiver mentioned, if you want to relicense, it would be best to use a CLA. The key to preventing yourself from being able to relicense your project (to a proprietary license or otherwise) is to ensure that other people are licensing their contributions to you under the GPL, without a CLA giving you exceptions, so that you yourself must follow their licensing terms. The Linux kernel for example is locked into the GPLv2, because they used a version of the GPL that does not provide for “upgrading” to newer versions of the GPL, and there are too many people who have contributed to the code to get all together to agree on a relicensing.
Not sure about UI font color, but user style tweaks can change book font colors.

Definitely not on a phone, but Android tablets with a keyboard can make decent typing devices.
It works fine in (Android) Firefox, and supports loading from/saving to local files.
Semi-offtopic, but the one feature I wish was more common is (good) equation support. Whenever I try to use a new word processor, no matter how great, I always find myself crawling back to LyX for anything with maths.
VMs have their own drawbacks. There are some projects to integrate a Windows VM with Linux (WinApps), but it won’t quite integrate fully. Graphical performance is bad without a GPU to pass through (Intel GVT-g kind of works, but is a massive pain to get working).
WINE and Proton are great, but it really depnds on what programs in particular are needed. Even one unsupported application can be a dealbreaker when no alternatives exist or are acceptable substitutes.
The addon version works on Android.. There’s an issue/“idea” for Chinese support as well. If I recall correctly, though, one of the problems is tokenization (the languages currently supported for example have spaces to separate words).
