  • A/C for everyone is not a need. I live in a considerably warmer place than England, never had an A/C and never desired one. I live just fine and don’t feel the need for an extra appliance cluttering my home. Most people around here do just fine without A/C.

    Houses are built according to the needs of the place where they are built.

    This is indeed a problem happening right now, this is a good temporary solution. I do believe a better structural solution to this problem may be required, but I don’t think that would be to add A/C to all houses.







  • Markdown is fine. I’ll take a look at protondocs, pricing is not really an issue - but since this is public money I very much prefer to spend it on actual experiments.

    Don’t know about collabora, I had tried it a few years ago and found it very slow and finicky. Moreover maintaining the whole nextcloud setup would be something I’d gladly avoid.


  • I tried the hedgedoc demo.

    As far as I can see it supports latex and has some change revision mechanism. Unfortunately no bib file support, but I guess that’s ok.

    However, I can not find a way to add comments to the rendered text. Is that possible on the self hosted version?

    That would be a deal breaker, most of what I need is actually reading documents written by other people and ask for clarifications or improvements.




  • The waiter is charged if a customer does not pay? That is quite absurd. That’s a business loss, the owner should lose money and and not employees.

    I don’t know about America, when I did that I’ve always been quite loud and nobody ever thought about calling the police.

    even if you’re mad they didn’t bring your refill quick enough.

    Not sure what a refill is. I did not say that if I don’t like the waiter I won’t pay, in that case it just would be absurd for me to give them a tip. I said if I am served bad food I won’t pay, which has nothing to do with wether the waiter was nice to me.

    Never seen this as theft, it may legally be. I’m sure any policeman would agree and do nothing about it anyway.
