There is an entire book called "A dictionary of obscure sorrows" by John Koenig, it's all from there
All software is political, riddled with biases and potential security risks. Most of the time we ignore the policy of the software, because we either agree with that policy, or are conditioned not to clock it as a "policy", because "this is just Common Sense(TM)".
I suspect, if the author would have been more honest with themselves, they'd write something along the lines of "turns out, software is a platform for political action, and it scares me" - an opinion that is very valid, valuable and thought-provoking.

Go on, my siblings, make this paper happy!
Thank you, I thought they were referring to one of my former classmates.
Don't forget that it only takes more than 35 degrees Celsius of wet bulb to kill any human in ~6 hours of exposure.
Once air reaches certain humidity levels during a heat wave, it becomes impossible for us to effectively cool down - the sweat simply won't evaporate from our skin.
Stay safe, harass your local politicians, advocate and for and demand climate action, eat the rich.
I don't know of any solution that would allow to scan entire pages, but here is a local tool to get LaTeX math from images via OCR https://github.com/lukas-blecher/LaTeX-OCR
The future's wasteland will be covered by bodies of web stalkers who were naive enough to get tricked by mid-2010s shitposts.
"Turns out they never used this to make their metal cutlery darker - who would have thought the ancients were so casually cruel?"
"After months of research we have concluded, that despite all their technical achievements, the ancients never figured out, what does the fox say"

Check out Typst (a newer TeX-like layout engine) if you have time, I'm interested in your opinion. I find it a bit simpler to use than TeX.
Why on Earth would you curse yourself with MS Office anyway, especially if writing docs is your professional responsibility?
Why not use Git+Markdown+Pandoc, have your copy, data and layout separate?
I understand that a lot of istitutions/companies impose stylistic/technical requirements for docs and publications, - still doesn't mean you gotta stay married to the worst tooling.
Exactly my thought. If you know who Rick Sanchez is, you can read it as a pro-zionist meme
Despite whatever your lead/manager says, there is always an option to nuke it from low orbit and start over.
It had been known since the dawn of time, that every day of the week that starts with "T" is a pirate day. This makes Tuesday, Thursday and Today.
I'm in the same boat - only started getting into Nix a couple months ago, with no proper engagement in the community yet
I liked the breakdown posted by another user above. As far as I understood (I hope others will correct me) is that:
- One person, who happens to be a well-respected long-time contributor, was dismissive of others' concerns about accepting funding from a MIC company.
- They got suspended for 6 weeks due to being affiliated with said company (?) and not having disclosed it properly.
- They went on Reddit to write about the situation, grossly misrepresenting it in their favor, turning their contributor cred into vocal support in reddit comments.
- All of that is happening while the community as a whole is struggling with scalability and transparency of organization, as well reaching an ethical consensus on the funding question.
As a programmer, I concur. I sit on my arse all day pushing keys , anybody can do that.
Hey what if my software is paid, but you can purchase it for N money or more, with an input field?
Because that I've seen a lot, and it sounds suspiciously like what you're describing, yet completely normal.

Here is the story: I decided to buy a good and expensive controller for my PC for the first time, after 3 decades of using stock dualshocks and cheap knock-off brands. Googled "best controller for PC", found a lot about elite series 2 controllers. Got excited about it (primarily the back-grip buttons and adjustable stick tightness), bought it.
After a month of playing Binding of Isaac I have decided to play some Doom Eternal to learn the hot new aiming technique - flick stick. Only to realize that this elite controller, that costs 130€ for the base kit, in current year, comes WITHOUT the gyro.
I honestly wish at least one of 5 reviews I watched and read mentioned this detail.
Is there any accessory I can acquire to get gyro, or would I have better luck returning the controller and buying something else?
Edit: I actually like everything else about the device, and not having the gyro is not exactly the deal breaker, but c'mon people
