I would really like to see someone adopt and modernize something like Plan 9 or Inferno.
9front exists.
edit: Next time, I should probably read before writing.
Runterwählen ist kein Gegenargument.

There is an impressive array of reasons to dislike Automattic and their software. My introduction was meant to avoid a lengthy discussion about those, because it would exceed the scope of my post. Alas, I failed.
If you prefer Rust, yaydl (disclosure: I wrote it) would be an alternative to yt-dlp. (Patches welcome - right now, I much depend on Invidious to get YouTube contents.)
+1 for Beets - awesome software!
It’s still rather hard to maintain a software that can download from as many sources as possible on my own. It’s often a game of cat&mouse, sadly.
Contributions which improve the documentation are appreciated.
Feedback and patches welcome!
I wish my own alternative would get similar praises, because it was there when YouTube-dl wasn’t. I’m really bad at marketing, it seems.
That’s mostly because using inferior software causes stress and stress is unhealthy.

The thread reads like Git is just as awesome to use as one would suspect from the outside, even for the original target audience.
Maybe there were days when all Usenet servers had all hierarchies. I’m probably too young.
In a way, Lemmy is essentially a reimplementation of Usenet. Decentralized, federated forums.
Usenet was never really “federated”. All servers mirror slightly different hierarchies (with the free ones usually focusing on text and the commercial ones focusing on binary files).
What server do you use?
I’ve been a happy user of Eternal September (the name alone was awesome enough!) for quite some time now.
You said “in the real world nobody much is doing the latter”.
LibreOffice can perfectly work with files stored on other people’s computers.
There is a difference between “cloud-hosting” (= storing your documents on other people’s computers) and “collaborative editing” (= working on the same file at the same time).
I still use it as forums. That’s what it can do best.
Then why can SoftMaker support it well and LibreOffice can’t?
It sure does, and I am mentally prepared to move over to Hugo. I just haven’t had the inner calmness needed to do so just yet, and I probably won’t in the near future. At least I could still use WordTsar for it!
