I have no sympathy for GAFAM, nor for Mozilla.
I don't fully agree with Latex being time consuming. It may be, at the beginning, but after then it avoids you a lot of annoyances that come with WYSIWYG editors.
So much entitlement here... Just spin your instance up on a big ass server (and pay for it) instead of complaining about something that is given to you for free.
Thanks a lot for you hard work and commitment!
That's fine, mine was just a comment, no judgement at all.
Downvote me to hell if you want, but I honestly believe that GOG, as one of the few non-drm'ed game sellers, is actually a good place where to spend your money.
As an arachnophobic: yes.
Ah, yes, the good old goatse, among other amenities.
Reported for spam, btw.
I often also wait for my XRD data to analyze themselves, those bastards.
Seriously, going through dozens and dozens of low-quality XRD diffractograms, trying to fit them, is a part of my job that I'd gladly outsource.
Oh, this is interesting. I hadn't searched for the issue because it happened during a quite confusing lecture and then forgot about it. Thanks a lot.
FOSS solutions like OnlyOffice and LibreOffice will work fine for 95% of people out there
That's true. no doubts. However, problems may arise when you need to work collaboratively on documents with other people that mainly use MS products and won't even think to change their workflow for the sake of "freedom". Personally, I have encountered minor UX annoyances in OnlyOffice, such as the convoluted way to resize images in presentations (you need to open "Advanced Settings" every time...) and the a-bit-messy interface for equations. Another inconvenience arose when I inserted a short video in a presentation, which didn't later work (didn't even show) in PowerPoint. These aren't extremely severe issues, but may slow down productivity a bit. On the other hand, in LibreOffice Impress inline equations aren't still available, which is something that somewhat lowers its potential utility in some scientific fields. Workarounds are available, but they are obviously a bit time consuming.
I'm not complaining, mind you. I know that "free as in freedom" may come with minor inconveniences. But for a lot of people the hassle of finding/applying funny workarounds may be a big annoyance.
LOL, so true...At least disposing them into the proper bin makes you feel bet... Nevermind.
So strangely true... My son got scared a few years ago while watching a documentary about black holes and the death of the Universe.
"Upgrading" a RedHat 5.2 install with a Mandrake 6.0 disk or the opposite, can't remember exactly now. It was 1999 or 2000.
If you go to account configuration, you can select the "apps only" interface, which gets rid of almost all recommend crap. Also, install pihole/AdGuard Home on your lan and disable all the telemetry apps and related shit, which can be done directly from the GUI (at least on my Sony).
I pay for Tidal, but just because I could get a cheap foreign account for my family through a VPN (~3.5 euros/month). No way I'd pay 4 times this amount in my local currency.
Ah, shit... The only way to update is to reimage/reinstall... It'll take a couple of days for me.
Ok. Nice. I'll keep using Brave anyway. Have a good day.
