    Maybe. In any case I try to never infer someone's tone from text interactions since it's always faulty and lacks human dimension. By default I just assume people actually mean what they write. I think we get (on average) more aggressive, and tend to show less empathy when not talking face to face.

    Also... The term "American left-wing" is offensive for a Marxist like myself. :D

    i really apologize if the use of that word was perceived as offensive, that was obviously not my intent. i'm usually quite straightforward in picking words (i come from a completely different culture, where sexual assaults are extremely uncommon).

    PS. for the context of others reading this comment, the original title of this post was: "nmtui that does not rape your eyes."






  • I used WPS, it was worse than Libre from the usability, plus quite bloated with all sorts of stuff (luckily, I don’t have to pay for the Office, and will never actually do that willingly). Haven’t used the other two, however, will have a look, thanks!

    Both GIMP and Krita are very nice and decent, just not powerful enough for many things I need photoshop for. Inkscape is actually much closer to Illustrator (not as powerful, but still), so that might be the only one with the “getting used to it” issue.

    Actually, one other thing I should have mentioned, is that I also transited from using Premiere Pro to Kdenlive (and sometimes even Blender for very light video editing). Kdenlive is an amazing success story for KDE, hope that happens to Krita as well.

    PS. The name GIMP sounds amazing! Love it, they should never change it )










  • never tried Xaringan, but from the look of it it's yet another markdown framework. which is splendid, but no UI is a huge dealbreaker for me. otherwise i'm happy to write my own parsing engine or just make presentations in pure html/css/js.

    i used typst for papers. their "interpretation" of latex is pretty annoying. they basically tried to reinvent it, and it looks counter intuitive (maybe one could get used to it). otherwise, i don't see how its different from a regular old beamer with no UI, poor support for videos etc.



  • Yeah, I believe these were one the first retinas with 200+ ppi. Honestly, for a person who spends most of the time staring at a code or a text, hidpi is basically a necessity for me at this point. So the fact that slack or vscode had such a bad support for fractional scaling is a huge deal for me. (Wayland fixes this in some instances as I mentioned)
