Yes, Google Docs exports to ODF.

I don’t think this is the exact cause for the situation, but having more book related forks would probably just do harm by splitting up the audience. The book reading trackers are absolutely dominated by Goodreads, and any alternative desperately needs as much user concentration as possible.

BookWyrm was my first dip into the Fediverse, back when I was looking for an alternative to Goodreads.

This reminds me of the anti-wind-energy arguments about the turbines killing many birds…

Ehhhh, if you have expertise in ANY field outside of like programming, you can easily test various models and see that they produce a lot of crap. That doesn’t require you to understand how LLMs work exactly.

Uhh what? I’m pretty sure libraries in Europe can’t do that. Do you mean they can photocopy any book they own…?

The last one is not the Firefox logo, but the general Mozilla Foundation logo.

I know I shouldn’t be the one to nitpick because I posted a similar “design simplification bad” meme myself just yesterday, but still… :D

Kind of, but on the other hand people (male, I believe) are openly agreeing with it ITT and apparently find it funny.

It’s a good template when used with enough irony/self-awareness. Doesn’t happen very frequently, though.

Elon didn’t say he would charge all the X/Twitter users.

What do you mean by that? He didn’t say he was definitely going to do so right now, but he proposed it with quite some degree of seriousness. I don’t intend to watch the whole video with Netanyahu to make sure what he said exactly, but all the articles I’ve seen are too detailed and explicit for it to be just an aside that the media blew out of proportion.

I think the books are honestly nicer to use

Same. Especially the ones that only used drawings – it’s the most “readable” way to present the folding. A friend of mine showed me his origami book which used photos and I had serious difficulties figuring it out.

tunes

That’s an element of a musical piece (or song, etc.), not a piece in itself.

Just eat everything so you don’t have to put it back.

The original Firefox (originally called Firebird) logo be like:

Regarding the analogy:

1. it’s not one but multiple connected rooms

2. the room with people in red shirts has suddenly decided to connect with the rooms with the less numerous blue and green shirts

3. it’s not “someone” in a blue shirt, it’s a significant number of people in blue shirts who think the red ones should simply return to their own room that they were perfectly happy with until now

We were invited to join the discussion

Where exactly do you see the invitation? I see “I am very interested to hear thoughts and responses from our own users.”

It certainly wouldn’t be brigading if the ratio of hexbear comments was proportional to its size. But I haven’t seen many lemmy.world comments there, for example, and they saw the thread in their feeds just as much as you did.

That’s how federation works, is it not?

Federation works by connecting various instances with different goals and different userbases. Those instances need a space to discuss those goals among themselves, where the admins can communicate with the users, etc. Some external engagement is to be expected, but one specific instance creating 3x more comments than all the others taken together (including the instance whose policy is supposed to be discussed) should, uh, raise an eyebrow.
