  • @ann3nova this is such a specific thing to obsess over, I love it. I drew my own pointers back then, and the one I used most looked pretty much like this. Same shape, but different colors.

  • @zwol I wrote a book in Docbook (SGML first, and then converted to XML later) about 25ish years ago, with a custom vim configuration. It wasn't pleasant. Yes, the tools were bad, but also it's just really sort of tiring looking at all the tags and the processing toolchain was dire.

    I was using a LaTeX-based toolchain for the PDF generation, I don't remember details, but Sebastian Rahtz was super helpful when I ran into mysterious issues.

    I wouldn't do it again. Different time, different me.

  • @jannem Yeah, like, considered as a thing-in-itself apart from the tools, the major complaint I have about DocBook is that the documentation of _how to write a book using DocBook_ is inadequate.

    Many people have very similar complaints about LaTeX.

  • @Esoteria you might be a little too young for this classic scene from "WKRP in Cincinnati".

  • seriously, I blew this entire afternoon trying to pin down an xmllint error whose cause turned out to have absolutely nothing to do with the error messages it was giving me.

    (Actual error: multiple elements with the same xml:id. Error message: "<chapter> not expected as child of <book>" or words to that effect.)

    (Giving sensible error messages for multiply defined symbols is a compilers 101 exercise!)

    I used LaTeX throughout university. I never found XML significantly more cumbersome.

    @kaixin it was just a test, so using Manjaro was a way of checking how it is doing now. I've used Manjaro for years, more or less 10 years ago. As long as you kept updating quite regularly, it was fine. Sometimes I convince people to migrate from Windows to a Linux distribution. I cannot install Arch to my father in law - so I installed openSUSE.The point is: on my pc, I can install anything - it's not a problem - but when dealing with common people, it's better to choose one of those "ready to use" solutions.

    So... @fedora has made a policy explicitly allowing AI code. So I have to change my home distro. @gentoo and @netbsd both have specific policies against it, but I ain't about doing a Gentoo install (sorry, guys, I love you for this, but I need a binary first distro), and NetBSD ain't great for gaming AFAIK.So... any other Distros wanna step up and do the right thing? @archlinux? @opensuse? @debian? #VoidLinux? @alpinelinux? Just a public statement that says "No, we don't want that crap" would be plenty --- I understand the difficulty of enforcing the policy, but setting it as a community/commit standard would go a long way towards making a lot of us feel better.(Boost for visibility, please?)#AI #Linux #Distro #BSD
