Yacy VS CopyQ

It turns out you can make it all the way to become president of Harvard [1] while ignoring this rule so it is questionable whether it is as set in stone as you make it out to be, at least in certain disciplines.

In a way these models are a perfect mirror of the current academic climate. They plagiarise without remorse, they follow the latest identity-politics diktat to a point and make up 'facts' when needed to reach a desired narrative. Google Gemini is the latest example [2] of where this leads.

Given that it is plausible that models like these will soon be used in educational settings this is a recipe for disaster. The same goes for the trend to replace search engine results with 'interpreted' results in which LLMs take up the same role as Winston in 1984: Winston works in the Ministry of Truth where he alters historical records to fit the needs of the Party.

It is time for a decentralised distributed search engine which limits itself to pure search, something like YaCy [3]. Something to replace Winstonian search engines like Google and Bing (et al.).

Here you go: https://yacy.net

I remember https://yacy.net/ but the big problem of this project was java and had not implementations in others languages. I mean it as imagine torrent was only in perl.

Admarus is similar as Yacy but aims to be distributed where Yacy is federated. Both are made for the web

You should check out https://yacy.net: a global, P2P web search engine, where each peer can build and share its own index, etc.

I also have an instance of Yacy installed, which I use to index the entire system, giving me my own private, internal search engine.

Try CopyQ https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ

Great to hear :)

Re: a new clipboard app, often people recommend CopyQ, which is cross-platform: https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ

There are some really really good open source clipboard libraries like https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ . I'd love to see a more cross-platform version.

It's shocking to me how much user-agency I feel like I could get from better control over my clipboard. Whether I want to turn a url into an archive.today/ url or remove crappy tracking links, or whether I want to send a url to another device, or share it... Having a history of things I've copied. The clipboard is weirdly the one interstitial system left standing in computing, and everything else is siloes and isolation. I'd love to see more and more work to make good open source explorations here.

Does anyone know if clipboard managers are possible in Android? I'm vaguely under the impression that by design this is a capability reserved for the keyboard one is using. I'd love to be wrong here.

/u/MaxGaav CopyQ looks like it has an editor. Doesn't look as polished as Copy 'Em I think, which is new to me. That looks great.

I thought otherwise, given that "Unlimited history" is literally CopyQ's most thumbs-upped issue: https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/issues/510

At https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/issues/27 the topic Wayland is covered. There are also a few solutions mentioned that you can use temporarily.

I use CopyQ ... It's very good.

https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ Looks like what you are after. Haven't used it myself, but the drag 'n' drop feature you're specifying looks to be supported.

CopyQ my dude

There are Ditto and CopyQ. They don't show you a list of paste-able items via right-click context menu though, but you can open a list of paste-able items by clicking the icon in your task bar in the bottom right corner.
