• 3x new books added to the Pirate Library Mirror (+24TB, 3.8M books)

  Based on what's on ZLibrary, various formats, though principally PDF, ePub, Mobi (Kindle), DJVU (similar to PDF), FB2, and a few others. Most ebook readers (with the exception of Amazon's own Kindle reader) can read virtually all of these, some with extensions. E.g., FB Reader , PocketBook Reader , Onyx's Neoreader (BOOX) ...

• FOSS or privacy conscious ebook reading app (Mac/iOS)

  I came across FBReader which looks great in principal, but it uses a Google Drive account to sync with no other options. Also it's no longer OSS from 2015 (which wouldn't have been a deal breaker for me). Source: about 2 years ago

  I use FBreader on android and PC. It's insanely customizable. I sometimes use it it double-page layout, 'though I haven't tried comics. Source: about 2 years ago

• Is there an alternative to learning Latex for publishing research papers?

  You can use LyX. LyX self-describes as a What You See is What You Mean editor, basically a fully graphical editor for writing LaTeX. Source: about 1 year ago

• Math and Science People: How do you write equations / proofs?

  Directly typing LaTeX gets unwieldy for longer and more complicated expressions, so I write those in LyX first and then copy-and-paste the LaTeX code into Obsidian. Source: about 1 year ago

• VSCode vs Texifier (formerly texpad)

  I like LyX. It's not for everyone, but damn it can be effective. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best offline editor/compiler

  An upopular opinion perhaps, but I'm a huge fan of the WYSIWYM editor LyX. Source: over 1 year ago

• Adding custom words to the dictionary LINUX

  I don't think LyX devs will notice your point here, alas. You could consider writing an email to the devs email list found on lyx.org. Source: over 1 year ago
