For me it’s the paranoia surrounding webcams. People outright refuse to own one and I understand, until they go on and on about how they’re being spied. Here’s the secret - unplug the damn thing when you think you won’t use it or haven’t used it in a while.
They, whoever it is, can’t really spy on you on something that’s already off and unplugged!
I’m surprised by how many people use Overleaf for writing LaTeX instead of installing something locally. It’s not that hard, guys. And the experience can be infinitely better as you can actually customize it however you want.
My recommendation is using typst instead. It’s basically the modern version of latex. And it has a good online collab platform too.
Hmmm… I must say, I tried to get back into LaTeX and I got broken packages after broken packages.
Really pushing for Typst adoption now. Works perfectly. Fast as hell. Bye technical debt.
I’ll try out Typst. If it works well, I’ll definitely switch from LaTeX.
I’ve heard about Typst, never really tried it. I don’t think I’ll completely be able to switch anytime soon since no journal accepts it afaik. But maybe I can try it out for personal stuff.
