To the people who switched to it from latex for technical documents (involving equations), how much adjustment did it need? I’m in the process of writing some papers/presentations and I’m fairly comfortable with latex but sometimes I do wish it was simpler
It’s much easier to get started than latex if assuming no previous knowledge of either, to the point I can actually recommend it to people in humanities and non-STEM in general. Syntax-wise it’s very different, so you’ll need to get used to it and look up the docs. I’ve been writing latex for ~5y before Typst and I think Typst’s documentation is FAR better than any latex source I came across: no messing with random outdated packages that are incompatible with your template’s, and don’t get me started on that bibtex/biblatex hellhole.
In Typst, most error messages are actually useful to describe the issue; you won’t waste time setting up your local build if you want to typeset offline; and the output is generated FAST - pretty much as you type it - which helps a lot with learning what works and what doesn’t.
The downside is that because it’s not as popular yet, it’s harder to find that magic stack overflow answer that solves your problem. So if you’re in a hurry with a deadline approaching, go with latex and practice some Typst on the side.
The sites to be redirected shouldn’t be already pre-selected by the extension. E.g I am logged in to Twitter on my browser and installing this extension will unintentionally redirect me to some instance.
And also, maybe the sites for redirection should be added by the user instead of the extension making assumptions. With libredirect I can click more options and add the site to Chrome’s handler.
It has a reasonable default of reliable privacy frontends but I may add an onboarding step(already in firefox due to more restrictions in their manifest v3 than chrome) for selecting sites
after a day of messing with it I just wanted to thank you again. I love the 1 FPS mode, it’s more than enough for me and it isn’t wasting resources. I don’t need to refresh my battery percentage or disk space more than once per second.
As someone who is against use aggregate scores and pleased to see it removed I can understand the desire to make it available to admins/moderators to assist in their actions.
I think making the numbers available only for admins/mods would make sense, though I also feel it starts to get to be an arbitrary divide.
I also have to wonder if an admin/mod couldn’t simply use the view of the user’s posts/comments we all have access to along with the various sorts available. Want to know if a user posts generally well received stuff … look at their posts and sort by “Top all time”. Want to know if they’re regularly posting stuff that is poorly received, sort by “Controversial” (which is new) or just “New”. I’d suspect that in the end integrating this sort of lookup into the moderation tooling so that it’s easier/quicker to do would be more worthwhile than persisting with user aggregates.
I have been working on Fly-Pie for more than 3 years now and I am very happy with the result. However, I have always wanted to create a similar application for the desktop in general. This is why I started this project.
Is it possible to get this to work with OBS studio? I see the author mentions OBS as an “Alternative Project” but it seems ideal to have these pieces work together.
