    True, it is a bit wonky indeed when opening some chonky pdf files… I guess I just got familiar with the layout bc I was already accustomed with it on a jailbroken kindle.

    Once you get the bells & whistles down, you can pretty much read anything cozily on any screen/orientation. Still, more of an e-reader app than a PDF viewer.

    Anyway, thanks for the guide! Lots of apps I didn’t know about and I’ll be sure to try them all out :)

    Remember: big corpo trains you to depend on them since childhood in schools, which all use Office.

    lmao I remember getting schooled by a math teacher when I tried to use libreoffice calc instead of excel on an assignment back in highschool

    detail: all the school computers ran linux. fuck whoever didn’t have a pc with windows at home

    she brought her windows laptop and attached it to the projector and expected everyone to have the assignment files in a format excel could read

    problem is, at least going 12 years back, not all calc functions and/or param names translate directly to excel ones

    so when she opened the file, which I made sure was one excel could read, there was a bunch of gibberish on some cells

    when I told her it worked as intended on libreoffice, she said something along the lines of: you don’t go to church using the same clothes that you use when going to a nightclub

    anyway, at least the school was trying not to depend on windows

    Around last year or the year before that they changed the placement of that button, never really given much thought about it tbf. Just a minor annoyance.

    But yeah it was like in the same top row as the code/issues/pull-requests/wiki pages. Now you can only access it from the code page inside a lateral panel. Before that you could just jump to the releases from the wiki page, as an example.
