That's not exactly encouraging... My biggest gripe with typst is the various design choices which make writing maths much harder than LaTeX (and given many of the issues with LaTeX usability come from having to use poorly maintained legacy packages, not having basic functionality in the core of the replacement seems naive at best).
I can relate to a lot of things said in the article, both practically and philosophical. Thanks for speaking to/for fellow hackers!
PS: Hackers websites don't have to look this ugly. We do take care of attention to detail that the page have to be rendered for mobile devices as well.
That's primarily not a website, but a hacker zine. That's just the format they come in for historical reasons, similar to RFCs.
I personally also don't love it, but fortunately, hackers have the technology to reflow legacy fixed-width text files to any format of their choosing :)
I looked into Zulip a couple years ago and they didn't support this. Have they implemented OAuth2 or something since then? Specifically being able to log in once and be able to jump between any number of self hosted servers.
For me it appears in millimetres, but I'm in Canada not the US. I'm guessing the default is chosen based on your browser's language. You can change the units in the top right.
Edit: I checked the page's code and it does indeed set the units based on language. If your language is "en-US" you get imperial by default, everyone else gets metric.
1. I think it should be mandatory to have your webcam and microphone on 24/7 for, uh, your safety, especially your children's safety (you never know when a pedophile will hide under your bed!). physical workarounds or disabling them is a TOS violation and will turn your machine off and unable to start again until hardware is restored (again, for your safety). Of course you also agree that all data collected this way can be used to enhance your experience with the help of our partners.
2. You need to watch 30s of an ad before you can login, youtube style. This is to get you in a good mood for the day, because it will only be products we determined you like!
3. Disable customisation: Your UI and desktop background will take the color of today's sponsor, including a small logo in every window's frame next to the close button. Window frame will increase over the years until we can show full video ads in it.
4. We will read through all your private files and sends them unencrypted to our servers. (this is for better speed! High speed is essential for this) AI will then analyse your files and write you recommendations, especially what you could buy to enhance or alleviate your current experience. Also you get clippy back, this time on the desktop, and it is a TOS violation to disable it.
5. Offers to buy items should always be accompanied by an instant-spending [buy] button, but rejecting and closing the offer requires you to type "Sorry, I don't want to buy this right now, can you please ask me for this same product again tomorrow?". This is the only way. Any typo is agreement to buy the product, because you are clearly not fully against it?
6. Because of the added online security for your personal files, you now have to pay a subscription of just $49.99/month or your device will irrecoverably encrypt all your data to keep it safe. (This update will come at a later time when you have created enough files worth protecting)
7. That Office splash screen sure takes a lot of time and is basically a lot of open white space. Better use that for more Enhanced Experiences.
8. Each login costs you 99 Windows Points, ad-free experience costs you 399 for a month. we sell you packages of 380 wp for $3.99, 800 wp for $9.99, 2000 wp for $29.99, 12,000 wp for $249.99 and our Never Worry Again Package with 50,000 wp for just $4999.99! (yes I did the math) Automatic Updates (during work ours only) require you to login again, obviously. Minor patches will somehow become more popular. For Security, your children, emotional stability, the environment, and affirmation of your identity. We are here for you!
