space, noun, outside earth’s atmosphere

I thought this was the meaning of space in space billionaires? Billionaires who pour a lot of money into going to space?

Example from a friend: He is working in construction planning, and they also have to locally check that everything is being constructed as planned. They have to create protocols for all these visits. These protocols are mostly text and pictures, need to always have the same layout and of course they need the company branding etc.

In word they always had to make sure that everything was fine. After they switched to Latex they can now simply write their text there (in an extra tex file that gets imported by the main.tex file, the extra tex file is basically empty). All they need are two commands: \section (and \subsection, \subsubsection) - those are pre-defined but sometimes need minor adjustments, and \begin{figure} (gets autocompleted and they just have to adjust width, path to file, caption, label).

Obviously for people who finished a technical school or studied at a technical university this switch was super easy. And now they never have to worry about formatting again, they just write their protocol, compile, done.

(and in Overleaf they can collaborate and compiling is a button on the GUI or gets triggered by ctrl s)

I’ve been experimenting with qwen2.5-coder:7b and it’s the perfect middle ground. Easily runs on 6 GB VRAM while automating boring stuff and letting me focus on new things.

Many companies are currently migrating away from MS/Google. LibreOffice, Collabora, LaTeX, …

That’s why you use open source alternatives everywhere :) just replace one at a time when the company fails

Interesting, apart from YouTube I have never used extra software that shows ads. Luckily projects like NewPipe exist for that, so the only place where I currently can’t avoid all ads is in the browser on my tablet (its an iPad so the browser sadly doesnt support ad blockers).

Which advertisements? (Genuinely curious, using Graphene OS and won’t switch back, when I still used normal Android there weren’t any ads yet)

Opensuse :)) great OS

Im just enjoying my ad free life with degoogled android
