That’s TeX, not LaTeX.
Don Knuth (who originally wrote TeX) had a real obsession with perfection. He even thought he could pay exponentially increasing awards to people who found errors in his books.
He eventually stopped doing that because he wasn’t as perfect as he thought he was. Still way off the charts compared to the average person, though.
It’s irritating to see him looting the company like that when he actually delivers negative value to the company otherwise. Literally it would be better for Tesla to give those bonuses to some random person on the street than to Musk.
a large chunk of the replies were “well MY displays work just fine!”
I just went to check the previous thread, and I think there’s miscommunication both ways here.
They read your post as “I’m trying Linux, but it’s even hard to get monitors to work.” So, they responded, “I haven’t had a problem with monitors on Linux in decades.”
There’s not much else they can say, as you weren’t really asking for advice, so you didn’t give any technical details, but you were still complaining about something that they like.
Meanwhile, you read them as you said, “well MY displays work just fine!” So their replies seem utterly baffling, defensive, and unhelpful from your perspective.
Supervillains are in charge of everything, so they’ve made it illegal to be a superhero.
It just goes to show how DC Comics authors needed to read 1984. There is no way that a group of supervillains would call themselves the Legion of Doom.
IRL, the biggest villains label themselves as if they’re good guys. That’s why the name of the Nazi party says they’re socialists. If the Legion of Doom were a real thing, they’d call themselves something like the Board of Peace.
The only reason anybody should listen to a celebrity’s political opinion is if that celebrity has shown some political expertise or astute political insight in the past.
Celebrities are not better than other people. They often have one thing they’re good at, and are ridiculously stupid outside of that area. And often, they don’t even have that one thing they’re good at.
