You know, if we were taught to use something like LaTeX, this wouldn’t be an issue because of BEAMER
Oh, ffs.
This on top of tubi? It seems that Trump’s henchies really do have all of FAST in their goddamn pockets.

My epub offering is through the NE Library Commission. OPL doesn’t offer reciprocity because it takes up most of one county and spills over into another. As such, the smaller communities in the Omaha area has to have their own Libraries without reciprocity and everything is through the state Library Commission.
24·1 month agovia Proton. Per the ProtonDB, it’s “borked”. The Anti-Cheat is overly zealous and modern day corpos at Bungie are the kind that think all Linux users just wanna hack.
It’s through Overdrive, a service that lends books to library patrons. Overdrive’s current interface for mobile devices and browsers is known as Libby. At one point in time, both Kobo and Overdrive was owned by the same company.
Note, libraries only offer a small selection - the selection mine offers is a lot different from the library up the street from me. It’s all curated from organization to organization.
Edit: Overdrive also operates Kanopy, a library video streaming app; as well as Sora, an K-12 reading app.
Maybe KDE’s Kate. It’s available for everything with a mouse and keyboard and works just fine. Not as ultra fancy as Codium, but if you need a quick and easy text editor that isn’t all Electron bells and whistles… Kate.

This. It’s based on AI Halucinations based off of previous trends. MS’s roadmap does not have W12 listed at all.
I would have to agree with dream_weasel. It’s all about portability. Though, I would like to add on accurate reproducibility. LibreOffice’s font rendering differs from system to system. A typesetting system like roff, TeX, and Typst aims to be reproducible, with TeX being the most as it uses packages and its own font format for rendering. The same argument can be made with MIDI vs Module. While MIDI can be used everywhere, all it is is just note data and metrics. Modules contain all of that plus the sample data, allowing for near perfect reproduction.
