supernote's tablets are designed to have replaceable motherboards/batteries although it's still to be seen whether they will actually be able to support that long-term.

Analogizing this to human hallucination is silly. In the instance you're talking about, the human isn't hallucinating, they're lying.

Ah yeah, the share dialog is really basic, I ended up using Firefox and installing the full extension when I wanted to save pages (also allows you to save pages from places you're logged into)

I seem to be able to tag articles, do you not have an "Edit Labels" option in the article menu? Regardless, they definitely were lagging on Android development, but it was still finished enough to use it. There's even a version that supports pagination: https://github.com/tent4kel/omnivore/releases/

this really sucks, it's by far the best reader app out there. Hoping that people will be able to figure out a straightforward way to do self-hosting, because I would be willing to use the app as it is right now forever.

It's not a great self-hosting option, tbh, depends on a lot of Google services and the support for it in the apps can be finicky.

Whisper can also generate timings at the word level, which you could use to make better-timed subtitles

The blur effect that shows up when you start chatting is very annoying -- I want to be able to see the details of the paper so I can ask about them!

I wasn't pointing fingers at the retirees, I specifically blamed at the federal government, who refuse to recognize the Navajo Nation's water access rights, as you said.

I'm sure the authors meant well, but it's absurd to act like this is a solution. They could have a clean source of water, but the federal government is siding against them[1] for water rights so that retirees in Arizona can have golf courses and manicured lawns in the middle of a desert[2].

The working class can't live off your pity, they would much rather have a strong union movement from every sector so we can fight together.

No, they aren't. Just look at Wikipedia, it's a common enough misconception that the page for right-to-work directs people to at-will employment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-will_employment

I certainly think they're emblematic of changes in attitudes, but I think the direction of causation is not so clear.

Every few years someone thinks that they have a new plan to revolutionize labor organizing, usually involving some sort of app that will somehow replace the work necessary to organize a union, and they are always wrong. Building a union that's strike-ready requires a lot of on the ground work that you simply cannot automate.

SAG, DGA, and WGA are all labor unions. The other cases I'll grant you, but it's less clear what their direct benefit to their members is besides acting as lobbying organizations.
