  • It’s this or Google or Microsoft if you want something PowerPoint-like.

    Many recommend to ‘pick a javascript framework’, which just like LaTeX Beamer sounds good if you do your own thing, but not ideal if people expect PowerPoint. Building slides through code is fundamentally different from drag-on-dropping images.

    Pick Google or Microsoft or OnlyOffice and use their web version. This keeps your laptop free of non-free software while using the same tools everyone else has.















  • Yeah. That’s me. Or anyone I know, really. Sure cities are back to pre-pandemic chaos, but those are other people.

    I choose to work from the office on most days. I use public transit. I go to the gym. I’m not locked in, but …

    • after-work drinks
    • meetups
    • catch up with a friend at the pub
    • date night
    • clubs
    • partys

    That’s a distant past. And i don’t miss it, really.

    Ok, I do miss socializing, the good parts: Crack some jokes, have some small-talk, feel part oof a group of friends.

    But i don’t miss it enough to endure that bad parts: Forcing oneselves into conversations with strangers, “networking”, drinking a beer alone in a corner of some event, going out to bar where over your overpriced drink you’ll accept that you’d rather be in your living room. Bars and night clubs are a weird concept (unless you are in your twenties and really enjoy the scene): You realistically only talk the person you came with, but they can’t hear what your are saying since it’s loud and crowded. There may be music, but unless you came to dance, you probably have a Spotify play list you’ll enjoy more. In better quality.
