I’m used to LanguageTool, and at a glance it seems like Harper covers way fewer rules than LanguageTool does. Not sure if this is actually noticeable in practice, but I run my own LanguageTool server and am not too picky about the performance, so I’m not in a rush to move until someone figures out a good way to compare them. LanguageTool’s rules are all open source at least, so it’s only a matter of time before Harper gets anything it might be missing.

I’m not sure how much actual effort it takes to make sure Plasma keeps compiling for X11, but based on the wording from the blog post it sounds like they’re exerting pretty much as little effort as possible. I would say with the recent uptick in leading-edge distros moving to Wayland it’s only a matter of time before almost no one is left on X11, which will deprioritize it even further. Pulling the plug on X11 today is premature given how many people are still running it (SteamOS uses it by default, for example), but I think their ~2 year estimate sounds about right for letting off the gas and putting a hard stop on support.

I’ve been using this a lot lately, and it’s been great after a bit of a learning curve. It even incorporates some of the functionality from the addons and userscripts that I needed for YouTube, like getting rid of clickbait titles/thumbnails and blocking specific channels. Since you never really have a tracking profile when using YouTube this way, it’s very obvious when YouTube is trying to shoe-horn in political channels and clickbait, and you can just continually keep blocking those channels in the recommended section until you get all of them. I’m still missing a way to boost the volume on certain videos that are too quiet for me, though. I use LibRedirect to auto-open YouTube links in FreeTube. FreeTube has occasionally broken because of YouTube API updates, which requires them to figure out the problem and push a new FreeTube release (which could take a day or more), but other than that I’m fairly happy with it.
