kyllä mä näkisin, että aleksanteri kivimäki on voittaja, vaikka saisikin tuomion.

istuu ehkä kolmisen vuotta, mahdollisesti ison osan avovankilassa, ja onko sakoilla väliä, jos rahat on hajautettuna pseudonyymien takana kryptoissa.

rikos todennäköisesti kannatti. kiinnijäämisen olisi voinut kokonaan estää varmaankin vuokraamalla palvelimet esim. venäjältä, eli ens kerralla fiksummin...

@adacosta @ActionRetro @gabriel @internetarchive @kroc one application that I miss from these times is #xfig, which is still IMHO the best diagram editor.

Just realized:

ranger --cmd='set viewmode=multipane' ~/ ~/

Sort of thing that has kept me using midnight commander :-)

#typst is IMHO phenomenal! i've only used #latex for the sake of #beamer but always hated using it. this will change my life for better. yes, there is beamer alternative for this: #polylux.

i've waited something like this to happen for ages (because i neither have time nor skills to do it myself tbh).

I prefer EQ style of drawing kick over #KICK2 style. #BitwigStudio

@diazona @astrojuanlu @ubuntu and there is a lot of deeply technical books that would not categorize as science books, like everything put out by my favorite publisher @nostarch. this has strong chances to grow huge from sort of disruptive angles. yet another field where this could be a greeat weapon of choice would be reports published by government departments such as Statistics Finland or VTT.

True, I do use ReStructured Text in kernel, forgot that one :-)

I'm thinking maybe something like Intel SDM or some other ISA reference with more layout than kernel documentation. E.g. RISC-V ISA manuals would be good fit. Anyway, future will tell...

@diazona @astrojuanlu @ubuntu I mean, to put it bigger context:

  • There’s LaTeX for scientists.
  • There’s Markdown for web (such as this comment).
  • I hate to say this but at the moment there’s only applications like Microsoft Word for engineers and technical writers (unless you count, ugh, troff that is still used (unfortunately) for man pages).

So yeah super happy to see something like this.

I see a lot of sweet spots for this. E.g. for an open source developer like me Beamer is not a choice because I love LaTeX but more like that I get text based presentation, which I can put to a VCS. Having more friendly tool is level up from this.

Another field where I see potential are manuals, in a form that would come more close of great manuals of the past boxed software. Specifically I could see this being an awesome tool for creating user manuals for open source tools.

@nirbheek I use my phone to make call or share wifi mainly so with those applications it is sort of still in the sweet spot. I try to use phose as less as possible. Still I need sometimes smart phone for scanning receipts, plane tickets and such so it is sort of best compromise from security perspective.

@astrojuanlu @ubuntu Yes, there is polylux. For me this is immediate switch because I’ve never learned LaTeX properly anyhow (and I think it is quite terrible experience to write tbh).

@astrojuanlu @ubuntu Very cool! I did not know abut this. Is there something similar to Beamer for this?

@ubuntu Just left a very entertaining talk on , a successor written in Rust that compiles documents instantly, has nicer syntax, produces accessible PDFs, emits comprehensible error messages... A beauty!
