(Having the ability to write text directly on the canvas is great, I've been waiting for this a long time, I found it quite annoying with my auto-tiling setup that a separate text window popped next to the main window, and I couldn't see the full canvas.)

(I recently downloaded Calibre to read an ebook for a university assignment, I really like its customizability, that I can set text width, number of columns, panels to show, etc. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's bundled with a full-blown ebook manager and ebook editor, while all I need is just a simple ebook reader, idk why it has to pull all that extra stuff if I download the reader (at least on Debian))

GuibuuUna cosa es estar en contra de la integración sin ton ni son de la IA en cualquier producto, de las empresas sin ética que entrenan sus modelos con información obtenida ilícitamente, de las dudas razonables medioambientales sobre los nuevos centros de datos que se están construyendo para dar servicio a esta tecnología, de la calidad en algunas de sus respuestas o del problema del «AI slop» que está inundando la red.
