Typst really does feel refreshing in that sense… way less fiddly and a lot more predictable, especially for layout tweaks
332.

The idea of publishing as an animation + Typst doc actually sounds pretty compelling… the old PDF format is starting to feel pretty stale
333.
by veunes 1y ago
One of the things that really interests me about Typst is that the compile process seems much more deterministic and modern
334.
by veunes 1y ago
On the flip side, new tools like Typst are trying to push the UX forward in ways that the LaTeX ecosystem often struggles with. I think it comes down to what risks you're comfortable with
335.
by veunes 1y ago
The ecosystem issues and rough edges in bibliography handling don't surprise me, but the fact that you could script so much directly inside the doc is really appealing
336.

It's not just about market dominance or pricing anymore; it's about shaping public discourse
337.

There's definitely truth to the argument that EU bureaucracy often stifles innovation, but it's not quite so black and white. The aim here isn't just to "destroy foreign companies," it's to enforce competition
338.

Even basic things like payment systems, logistics, and consumer protection rules vary a lot
339.
by veunes 1y ago
That's one way to look at it, though an outright ban might cause a lot of collateral damage for users and businesses

While monopoly power is an issue, fragmentation could also lead to unintended consequences (think privacy/security fragmentation or entrenching local gatekeepers). I'm skeptical this kind of structural breakup would magically “fix

Makes me wonder how many other "maladaptive" responses today actually had adaptive roots in a different context

It's wild how much your gut can mess with your brain chemistry
343.
by veunes 1y ago
Yeah, the brain might not be the only place we should be looking when it comes to mental health.
344.
by veunes 1y ago
But in a way that can still be useful. Like, "just do something" isn't deep wisdom, but when you're stuck, even a cliché can break the mental loop.
345.
by veunes 1y ago
Breaking things down can still help, but it doesn't magically erase the discomfort. It's more like easing into cold water
346.
by veunes 1y ago
Yep, it's hard to summon genuine motivation when, deep down, something feels meaningless. You can build all the productivity systems in the world, but if the work itself feels hollow...
347.
by veunes 1y ago
It's way easier to ride the momentum of "just one quick thing" than to start cold and stare into the void of a blank screen or a big to-do list
348.
by veunes 1y ago
The "action precedes motivation" idea is underrated. I've definitely found that once I take that first tiny step (open the file, write the first test, whatever), things start to flow. It's weirdly easy to forget that whe

What's tricky is that for casual use, it gets things "close enough" often enough that people start building habits around it
350.

And how quickly the bar is being lowered
351.
by veunes 1y ago
Yeah, it feels like we've crossed into a weird uncanny valley where AI outputs sound smarter than ever, but the underlying logic (or lack thereof) hasn't caught up
352.
by veunes 1y ago
And the worst part is, the more plausible the output sounds, the more dangerous it becomes for casual users who don't know any better.

If the product can't speak for itself, scare people into believing it will soon

The whole industry's sprinting toward short-term gains at the cost of legacy, and the result is a graveyard of great games barely a few years old.
355.
by veunes 1y ago
With games, it's even worse because once the servers are gone, the whole thing can literally stop functioning. At least with movies you can still rip a Blu-ray or buy a DVD. And it's not just about making money anymore, it's
356.
by veunes 1y ago
Having the same thought... The games we still play today weren't just "old," they were exceptional and had communities passionate enough to keep them alive
357.
by veunes 1y ago
Honestly, it's depressing to think how much creativity and community we've lost just because publishers want everything to be a closed garden with a checkout line
358.

How much information is just sitting in those little impressions, waiting to be interpreted
359.

The detail that really stuck with me was the presence of claws. That small anatomical feature says so much
360.
by veunes 1y ago
It's a good reminder that behind every flashy breakthrough, there's a ton of careful planning and execution most people never see
