Another paper for the “Obviously” category. Otherwise the leafs at the top would be brown. But I did a PhD myself and our papers were exactly the same. Noone wants to rock the boat. Professors just want to get to their pension without probl

> unfalsifiable distrust Well, I think it’s pretty clear for starters that politicians lie (and yes this holds for both left and right; although indeed some presidents more than others), and that this isn’t helping trust.

Just to be sure to point out the obvious here, I think the main police effort should be on catching the sources of such material. There is the root problem. In a world were we’re ruled by Epstein friends, this is probably not gonna happen t

Is there use for this for individuals? Or is this like advanced note taking apps: you feel productive but are just busy talking about the things you need to do instead of doing the things you need to do

In theory you are right, but in practice that’s not how it goes.

I recently switched back from a Tesla to an older car without permanently having a map visible. Suddenly my brain has to think about routes again and it definitively feels like my brain has to put in more effort again to handle it.

It also makes no sense to go reverse. Maybe practically, but from the Word generated garbage your not gonna get something useful

I finished my PhD and still hate (or at least severely dislike scientific writing). It just feels so pointless most of the time plus you constantly have to compromise on most of the text until it says almost nothing

Seems it’s currently a percentage: https://forum.typst.app/t/how-to-leave-a-single-line-of-para... On Pandoc I agree. Word custom styles is possible I believe but it will be a mess (as usual with Word).

Uhm why not Typst? I published my thesis and another book in it and it worked great. They are also working on HTML output which should make it easier to create EPUBs. Until then Pandoc should work I think

Interesting. Thanks. The seeming contradiction can be resolved by the statement “no honesty among thieves”. I don’t know exactly about the sect, but I do know that the Templars were not a particularly honest bunch. True criminals without a

Agreed. Crusades have also close ties with gnosticism since the Templars themselves were gnostics.

The Catholic church has also burned Christians in various era’s including in the 15th century.

You didn’t even mention the Knights of Malta yet. They claim to care for the poor, but Prince Bernhard also within a year of signing up ordered naked girls for an evening which caused his secretary, J. Thomassen, in march 1950 to quit. Othe

Could be yes. I’m using a M.2 SSD with USB adapter and that seems to work well with my RPi 4. Wasn’t that expensive plus should last way longer than SD card.

> extreme far-right communities Extreme libertarian seems a more apt description for those groups since they severely distrust government often also criticizing Trump and Netanyahu for example.

I know the example, but as a counter-argument: often more expensive boots are not more durable. It’s about spending time to learn to spot the quality. Of course if you are really poor, then you have to take expensive shortcuts, but for most

I’ve been using Typst for years now. Wrote my PhD thesis in it [1] as well as a book. Works great; can’t recommend it enough. I usually barely use plugins because it’s either already included or pretty easy to write a bit of code yourself [

My biggest hesitation with these things is that there is no limit to the possible bill I may receive when the agent goes haywire. Cloudflare doesn’t see this as a problem of course.

How does exe.dev differ from VPS + Caddy + some subdomain on a domain you already own? For auth one can use Caddy and basic auth. Yes it takes a bit of work but it isn’t that bad. Plus zero subscription costs if your VPS is a Raspberry

Why the downvotes? I’m serious. On GitHub I’ve experienced many downtimes. My Forgejo hasn’t gone down yet apart from reboots by me.
