Might as well just xdg-open files in a directory in alphanumeric order by name as a "presentation" at this point.

- dash2 3y agoI once watched a Nobel prize winner present. His presentation was a Word document, and he presented by scrolling down. For bonus points you could do the same with `less`.
- pests 3y agoI bet presentations or Word documents weren't what he won his Nobel for!
- godDLL 3y agoAha. So he won his prize by his alonesome. With no exchanging of any ideas to any other party. Like, in his parents' basement, right.
- pests 3y agoWhat? My point being is people communicate and share ideas in a variety of ways. And if it works it works! We tech people like to get the "correct system" in place but for many it's just a means to an end. If he wants to use Word over PowerPoint or a proper presentation software that's completely fine. And he has the Nobel to prove it.
- macintux 3y agoYes, that was a bizarre interpretation of your comment.
- globular-toast 3y agoYeah I've met plenty of talented people who are terrible at presenting their work. I've often thought such people would benefit from a partner, someone understands the value of the work but is better at channelling it to the world. Like a producer is to a musician.
- dash2 3y agoJohn Nash was famously a bad teacher and presenter.
- arp242 3y agoThat's what I do. Well, "vim *" and increase font size. Works well enough. Can't do images, but never had a desire to. Saves mucking about with tools.
- tsukurimashou 3y agoyou probably can do images with vim, either rendered as colored ascii or with some third party software such as w3m (text based web browser that can render images in the terminal)
- arp242 3y agoAt that point I'd rather just write a bunch of basic HTML files and use that – seems less effort than figuring all of that out.
