@lyse I’m so glad that I don’t have anything to do with the modern Windows world … Must be really annoying to waste one’s time on stuff like this. 🥴

@lyse Hmm, I don’t know of a green-ish Office suite. I mean, LibreOffice is green, but that’s not what you mean. 😅

Ahhh, TeXNicCenter! Many people in Uni used this. What happened to it, is it dead? The last release is from 10 years ago. 🫤

> Admittedly, it took me a while to figure out and appreciate all the advantages of actually marking up the document structure properly.

Same here, to be honest. I *think* it was HTML which changed that eventually. 🤔 Not sure if any “ordinary” users that I know use semantic markup, but then again, none of them write any documents that *need* this. And in reality, most people are more concerned (rightfully so) with the actual appearance of their document – so it is an *extra step* to first mark something as a heading and then change the document style to get the appearance they actually want. That’s why I think that all the “Works”-like suites aren’t complete rubbish. They have their place.

> These days I rarely reach for LaTeX or LibreOffice to craft new stuff in my private life. Simple text files is usually it.

I was going to ask “but how do you write letters”, and then I realized that the last letter I’ve written was in 2022. 😂 It has become super rare indeed.

@prologic Going to be interesting to find out what caused this. 🤔 Bing (like, the real bing.com) is still down for me as well.

DuckDuckGo’s help page doesn’t really make it clear that they rely on Bing *that much*:

I guess this outage is a good thing. 😅 Lots of people now read up on this.

I spent some more time with StarOffice 3.1 and it is indeed a bit clunky (of course it is, it’s from 1996). For example, a table of contents does not update automatically – you have to delete it and re-insert it. Sometimes it has graphical glitches. Font rendering isn’t too great.

And yet, I wish we would use this instead of $the_other_thing at work. It’s much faster (on my Pentium 133!) and more featureful. 🫤 (Or, you know, StarOffice’s modern descendant: LibreOffice.)

Okay, GPS performance has degraded a lot over the last few days.

- Time to first fix is a couple of minutes now, instead of 5-30 seconds.
- Accuracy is reduced greatly, probably because the phone can one lock on to about 6-12 satellites, this used to be around 30 satellites.

In theory and under good conditions, you need 4 satellites to get a fix. But in reality, there are rarely “good conditions”, there are always buildings, hills, or trees nearby, so you need as many satellites as you can possibly get.

It’s not *completely useless* (yet), but it’s not great. I think I’m gonna lift some firewall restrictions. 🫤
