What stupidly easy tech solution do people gloss over all of the time? (kbin.melroy.org)

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!

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'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.

I'll try out Typst. If it works well, I'll definitely switch from LaTeX.
