That’s nice, but this project seems very dead, or am I missing something?

Never tested 2FAS, but tofu I have been using for years. Can’t complain, it works.

And then realize that tiling in popos is inferior and start using i3 or sway

I feel this is all just a scam, trying to drive the value of AI stocks. Noone in the media seems to talk about the hallucination problem, the problem with limited data for new models (Habsburg-AI), the energy restrictions etc.

It’s all uncritical believe that „AI“ will just become smart eventually. This technology is built upon a hype, it is nothing more than that. There are limitations, and they reached them.

I am glad you liked it. Can’t take the credit for this one though, I first heard it from Ed Zitron in his podcast „Better Offline“. Highly recommend.

I also don’t understand. Sometimes the answer to a question is equally or more interesting than the reason a question is asked

Wow, what will they think of next!? A subscription for air? For using my own toilet? I hope this company dies quickly…

This does not need to be a 8 minute video. Read your tldw instead. Thanks, OP.

Under every single LaTeX themed post there is someone suggesting typst. Why use something open, if you can use something proprietary? /s

There are a lot of typos in this book. Are you looking for someone to proofread? Great work btw

@Retiring@lemmy.ml avatar

What are you using it for? Did you publish anything written in typst? Edit: this is a genuine question.

Idk when you did it, but with the overleaf toolkit, at least the docker networking seems to be no problem. I had quite some problems with updating though. I run an outdated version at the moment because texlive gets updated faster than overleaf, which produces errors when installing the texlive full package. Overall, also can’t recommend.

I see, you probably had to change the overleaf config file? I feel it’s too much work to keep it updated and running, on my Linux server. But the official overleaf is just too slow. It struggles to compile 30 page documents, and i have several that are longer. How does it run for you on your windows computer, with the local installation? What are the specs of your machine?

You are correct, LaTeX isn’t very fast in general, but my 8 core ryzen server with 8GB of ram assigned to the vm running overleaf is usually twice as fast as the official overleaf unpaid tier. The specs you listed should produce much better results than the official overleaf. This seems weird to me.

As an example, I just compiled my thesis, which is about 60 pages, lots of references, pictures, and generally a heavy document. On my server it takes about 35 seconds, the official overleaf just times out (pay or we won’t compile your document).

Why would grandma want to do that? I have set up computers for tech illiterate people with Linux quite successfully. You just tell them: „if it wants your password, you did something wrong. Never enter your password, unless you know exactly why“ Set and forget.

They are probably referring to the streaming services bit

If you run random .pdf.something-files pm‘d to you on LinkedIn you probably shouldn’t use a computer anyway, no matter if it runs Linux or Windows…

They offer lifetime, so it’s probably shit.
