  • How many Knoxville Sunspheres is that?

  • I still haven't figured out how to do this

    Jump

  • I know that workflow style is good for like dissertations and academic journal articles, but the sort of templates I have to design and work in are more splashy and dramatic. The look and structure is more akin to what you see in artsy magazines and books—pages with dark background colors, decorative stock images, vector shapes, etc. Can Latex be used for that?

  • I consider myself a Word power user. I've spent 1000s of hours in it and I know just about every obscure feature and quirk. I've designed professional corporate template suites in it.

    I hate it so much. It is so fucking archaic and janky. It has so many modal dialogs. There are features I need to get to regularly that are like 6 modal dialogs deep, and I have to close them all to see if the change I made was good; if not I have to go through them all over again.

    It has a sort of stylesheet, but it has built in styles that you can't delete if you don't need, and the inheritance hierarchy among them is a mess. Then there are "font themes" which are conceptually separate from the styles but can impact them.

    I could go on. All the Word alternatives aren't much better because they imitate Word too closely in my opinion. I think the approach to word processors needs to be rethought at fundamental level.

  • We need an alternative to YouTube that's NOT destined to be shut down quickly unlike sites like Blip, Metacafe, VIdMe, Zippcast or Storyfire. And it's NOT PeerTube.

    Jump

  • I'm out of the loop. What's wrong with PeerTube?

  • Straight into my adblocker

    Jump

  • Before I installed blockers, I only remember one time ever clicking a targeted advertisement and making a purchase (it was for a 'What We Do in the Shadows' t-shirt). That was after browsing the web everyday with no blockers for like 15 years.

  • Firefox Nightly enables split view

    Jump

  • I'm not a Firefox user but I use split tabs often in Vivaldi when I need to manually enter data from one system into another system. Splitting the tabs instead of dragging one into a separate window keeps all the tabs contained in the same tab workspace. I have several workspaces and I don't want to accidentally lose an important tab because I dragged it out into its own window and forgot to drag it back.

  • Apple - what have you done?

    Jump

  • I've been having the random restarts too on my iPhone 13 ever since iOS26. It seems to occur when I'm switching back and forth between more than two apps in short amount of time. Maybe something to do with RAM?

  • When did you know?

    Jump

  • I have amassed over the past few years a decent collection of vintage game consoles and games, and I feel guilty I barely have time to play any of them. They feel like pets to me and I'm neglecting them.

  • Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task – MIT Media Lab

    Jump

  • It seems intuitive but also 2000 years ago people thought that for example the eye emitting some sort of substance that interacts with the surrounding environment to be an intuitive explanation for how vision works, so intuitions need to be tested.

  • Take the L 🐟

    Jump

  • It is polite to hold the door for people coming up behind you.

    Jump

  • If the person is directly behind me, I'll keep the door open while simultaneously walking through the doorway (I don't stop and wait) so that the door at least doesn't close in their face. They still have to grab the door to prevent it from closing though.

    I really don't like standing still and holding the door open and making the people who were behind me go ahead of me. And I hate when someone does that to me. It feels like a very antiquated and patronizing gesture.
