(Yeah now we have Microsoft Office on Linux lol (kinda, if we consider the design of the UI, it looks almost a one-to-one copy of it))Odysee got "shorts" feature, similar to YouTube:

(Seems like they are struggling to find a new workaround for YouTube blockages. Would be sad to lose one of the most feature-rich YouTube clients, but at least it can still be used as a "sub manager" or search engine, links can be copied to yt-dlp, inv.nadeko.net, an external video player, etc. (although inv.nadeko.net also breaks sometimes, or is extremely slow))Notesnook 3.3 has been released with search filters, editor stats, and new pricing plans:

CW: Tale of the red giant and the little dwarves
Once upon a time, there was a red giant. It had a big white triangle nose, and really annoying behavior. It lived near a dwarf village and its hobby was to spy on the little dwarf villagers, and bully them by saying things like "Your suit is so ugly, you little astronaut guy!" and breaking the little red shields of the little dwarf soldiers. The little dwarf villagers often asked the annoying giant why it does this, but they didn't get any answer.
One day, the dwarf villagers had enough of this, they decided to fight the annoying red giant back. They picked up all knifes they found at home, then joined forces on the field next to the village. There were invidious dwarves with a knife juggler holding 4 knifes as their leader, Anime fan poking dwarves, piping dwarves who like to pipe commands in their tiny little penguin terminal, industrial worker dwarves who produce new pipes, cloud dwarves who like watching clouds on the sky when they're bored, blocker dwarves with red and green shields, some of them with white hand, others with U and B letters, white triangle, A and B and P letters or white checkmark painted on their shields. The astronaut dwarf also came to join the fight with its brave lion pet. Other pets also came to help their little owners, a whole army of octopuses came, holding knifes in their tentacles, riding elephants. Seeing the big crowd, the old dwarf whose snore is heard in the entire village as a loud rumble at nights, and the pilot dwarf who likes to chute from its plane a bit every day, also joined the crowd.
The army was ready to take the fight!
- For my librarian parents in heaven! - screamed the astronaut dwarf.
- For our Godfather Gorhill! - screamed the blocker dwarves.1/3
