Sure, but adding another target still increases maintenance burden. QA, e2e testing, acceptance testing, release engineering, etc.

That said I also wish they had a degoogled version.

+1 to Cultish.

Another great one: The Confidence Game by Maria Konnikova.

I enjoyed using Asciidoctor to write a book. It necessitates using a text editor instead of a word processor so it doesn't fit DJ's use case, but it really is quite nice.

I'm also fascinated by the build for Ada & Zangemann, a FOSS illustrated full-color children's book. It looks rather complex, but it handles translations, beautiful typesetting, and was remarkably fast when I tried running the build locally.

For what part(s) of github?

Free as in freedom?

Many other tools/platforms provide decent source control and issue tracking. Nothing else has the FOSS project market share of github, and this matters especially when you're looking for the canonical home of a project and trying to judge how popular/active/viable it is (stars/commits/issues/PRs).

If you want exposure and participation for your FOSS project, it's harder to not use github.

FWIW, Forgejo does the source control stuff well. I love it for self-hosted local mirrors.

Try eog, if you have it. The colors look bright for me in that viewer.

Hard pass. Another Linux laptop with another sus distro won't teach anyone how to focus. Save a hand-me-down laptop from the landfill, install a known good distro, and do the hard work of culling distractions.
