No-no, you’re right.

How many shower shitters do you know?

Ah, yes, a huge flashbang on my screen.

Just use duckduckgo.com and everyone will be happy.

That’s my point. It still feels like a tag anyway, but a very special one. Option feels not very specific, so I used “special tag”.

Since for me it has all the needed features, for me — it’s by far superior (even compared to LuaLaTeX which is the last thing I used). But some people, mainly from academia, are still can’t switch due to some features missing. A few people were able to create thesis in Typst (including myself). In the long run it will be 100% superior. In the mean time, there are a few hacks to enable some features that are otherwise not implemented yet.

The last point: I use MuPDF + entr as zarhura crush as a mf, not usable at all. Some others use typst-preview which can be used in the browser and as a VS Code extension. But I use Neovim btw and the web version lack a few key features. Anyway, I use mupdf+entr+nvim for many months now and it’s more than enough for me.

The web version, for me, is just to share my local project with someone, that’s it.

Well, that can’t be changed now. People discuss NSFL in there, but I don’t know what will be the rustler of it. Maybe it will be NSFW + NSFL tag. You can always create a new issue demanding NSFL to be treated as a special tag.

OK, now I know. But I mean, it’s just not there yet: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/317. Everyone would have to wait for it.

Well, overleaf.com is for LaTeX, but typst.app is for Typst, a superior alternative witch is in beta. So for some people it won’t be enough (yet), but for me it’s awesome.

So the issue is that there is only NSFW label and no NSFL label?

Have you heard of our lord and savior Typst?

What do you mean?

I can’t believe they are actually real…

Those are rookie numbers!

It’s literally there at the bottom.

What isn’t valid is MacOS, it’s macOS now.

The last part was wrapped in a spoiler and under the post scriptum clause to indicate that it’s not important and that you should really see it if you don’t want to. And I added that just to educate a bit more, since I already started the " this is wrong and this is right" conversation. To be honest, I hate that that OS had so many naming changes that everyone is just left confused in the end. Some still say OS X or whatever else.

What is bad about it? It wasn’t an offensive statement, it was stating the fact that that the person was new to the whole “MB vs. MiB” mega story that is an ongoing issue for at least over 10 years, and that I envy/pity the “cruel world that they are in” (where everyone uses JEDEC units while IEC ones should be used instead).

If that is the only reason why you’re starting calling names other people and downvoting all of their comments then you’re overreacting. The person I talked with didn’t even mention it. I heard this phrase from some movie or something.

Ok, show me what I did wrong and what should I do instead to not be a prick, please.

Windows and MacOS use the abbriviation “MB” referring to the binary units, correct?

Yez. I’m only sure about the first one, but didn’t test myself whether the macOS is using power of 2 or 10 under the hood (of MB). You can open properties of something big and try converting raw number of bytes with /1024^n and /1000^n and compare the end results.

How come that these big OS’s use another unit than these large international bodies recognize?

Legacy, legacy everywhere (IMO). And of course they don’t want to confuse their precious users that don’t know any better. And this also would break some scripts that rely on that specific output. GNU C library also uses JEDEC units by default, hence flatpak and other software.

On a side note, I’ve always found it weird why HDDs or SSDs are/were sold with 128GB, 265GB, 512GB etc. when they are referring to decimal units.

It is weird for everyone, because we mainly only count with multiples of 2 when it comes to digital size of information. I didn’t investigate why they use power of 10, but I’ve seen that some other hardware also uses decimal units (I think at least in RAM, but JEDEC is used intentionally or not for CPU cache memory). I had a link where the RAM thingy is lightly addressed, but I couldn’t find it.
