Shitposter while I tend to two babies. Maybe when I have my life back, I’ll help us get a few more niche communities back?

  • I teach, so trying to adjust old ppts for lecture got a little weird because it turned the bulletpoints into mailboxes, and equation formulas are done completely differently so libre just makes them uneditable (a picture?).

    When things got wonky in lecture though I managed just fine. My students are much worse, they open shit in non-MS apps all the time (.notes for takehome exams, or like, keynote, whatever) and fuck up formatting all the time, often without even realizing it. (I do provide PDF alternatives at least). Explaining I use libre really easy in that case, lol.









  • As much as I believe Trump should face literally any punishment over January 6th riots, the Korean ex-president ordered a martial law shutdown and involved the military. This is more akin to what Trump is going to do in 2026 and/or 2028 when he suspends elections over martial law.

    Inciting a mob is still illegal, but it’s a bit harder to prove beyond a reasonable doubt than ordering your military to stop Congress from acting. Of course, I’m not counting on Congress to even hold him accountable for abusing martial law (he’s committed crimes magnitudes worse than Jan 6th since then without any repercussions), just that we haven’t seen the martial law version yet.



  • I was a little surprised that AI was actually not too off, or at least when it was, it was because it misunderstood the distro I used. I don’t think it’s a good idea to go beyond basics though, like installing random stuff from the AUR to fix something can go horribly wrong.





  • That’s what I figured and I appreciate the confirmation. Since I work in education it’s probably a “better safe than sorry” approach since the laws on student privacy are actually enforced, unlike in corporate. (Obviously it’s security theater, though, as web apps and Windows integration make emails and files easy to steal anyway).
