Plagiarism is misrepresenting someone elses' work as your own, so wouldn't having a ghostwriter write "your" article still be plagiarism regardless?

Strings work fine, the problem is the (single) quotes:

~ $ foo="echo 'hello world'"
~ $ for x in $foo; do echo $x; done
echo
'hello
world'
~ $ $foo
'hello world'
~ $ eval "$foo"
hello world

The splitting is by whitespace, so the single quotes remain in the arguments. Using eval (and double quotes to preven splitting), it gets processed correctly. That said, don't use eval; use functions or aliases instead.

I'm not sure what OneNote's feature does, but in Logseq you can make a whiteboard and embed other pages and text boxes.

Flatpak does try to account for storage size by using shared base images. The main problem is that some Flatpak apps don't update to the latest base, and some use different base images altogether, meaning most of the time it needs to have several bases anyway.

W.r.t. mouse controls, having a bit of mouse acceleration can make it a lot easier to balance accuracy and being able to turn around.

Search bars for settings are pretty great, especially when they match against alternate names for the same option.

Invidious and NewPipe/Piped aren't affected as far as I know, since they use YouTube's internal APIs directly. They're mostly only affected by changes to the API itself, and IP ratelimits/blocks.

Discord had (has?) "unclaimed accounts" which were essentially guest accounts with a custom name. Not sure how the system works nowadays, but I suppose using them would be fine for one-off visits.

This is what I hate about Discord. It's another account. If you don't have Discord (or do, but would rather not tie all your identities together), you need to register. What I like about Matrix is any Matrix home server can join, and it can then be used to access bridged Discord rooms, the problem of course being that many projects don't bridge to Matrix.

Firefox uses Marian, if I recall correctly.

I like to sometimes just open up other interest-focused instances and check their local feeds for anything interesting. A "subscribed instances" feed would provide a decent balance, in my opinion.
