I was hoping for a \end{meme} in the text description 😢

Are there LaTeX haters? Why?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I'd say anyone who has ever tried to use it hates it a little, even if they also love it

[–] mumblerfish 6 points 2 hours ago

Everytime you are forced to actually look at the log and try to understand the error, I hate that. But I love LaTeX still.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 hours ago

I remember having my fair share of grievences when I was learning it lol

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago

It has a learning curve and it is better suited for technical work IMO. I wouldn't tell a grandparent to write a letter using LaTeX for example.

I WOULD trust a grandparent to be able to download Mastodon and make an account, but still I think the analogy works nicely lol

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 hours ago

I wouldn't say hater, more like "each tool for its job"

LaTeX can be quite cumbersome for certain tasks, same as Word is cumbersome for other tasks. It all depends what the tool is made for, and what you try to use it for.

What would Threads be in this analogy, maybe Edge browser?

Always being shoved in your face, an artificially high "user count", but after a while people don't really use it?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 hours ago

Corel word

Predatory journal

[–] IsThisAnAI -2 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Threads has much much much more active content than Lemmy.

Edge is also a fantastic browser and has tons of actual users. Most folks I know use it more than chrome these days.

[–] whostosay 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Edge is based on chrome so you can throw this out

[–] IsThisAnAI -2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Oh wow it's it? 🙄

Gotta love when some redditor/lemmy explains irrelevant common knowledge.

[–] whostosay 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Are you arguing with me or you at this point?

Explain to me in detail how that is irrelevant without telling me it has everything to do with what you and I just said.

Y'all need to go back to Reddit with this shitty argue with everyone attitude, this was a beautiful place at one point.

🤣👍

Might depend on where you are in the world, it's not really the case where I am

Twitter, Bluesky, and Mastodon are most common for that format, and Chrome/Safari for browsers. I see more Firefox than Edge, with the exception being locked down work computers

What's the markdown of social media? Both derogatory and non-derogatory answers accepted

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago

Signal family groups.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I've got GitHub categorized as social media. Just FYI.

[–] Opisek 8 points 5 hours ago

That's silly. It's obviously a dating platform.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago

Ok I figured it out actually - it's HackerNews (both derogatory and non-derogatory at the same time)

[–] SandmanXC 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Screaming into the void (non derogatory)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago

/dev/null as a social media

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

That brief period of time when Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube were "ok"

Maybe it's just nostalgia
