the problem is that you you cannot remove the complexity out of creating a markup language as complex as LaTeX without making it as complex
the things that are easy to do in LaTeX are because they have little to no options to it, like you don't select the thickness of the bold text or the slant of the italicised text
but once you want to do fine tuning, decorations etc there is no way to remove the very customisation that people expect out of the system
it's like comparing html to css

The video begins with a scene inside a car at night, where a person wearing a pink shirt and red shorts is seated in the driver's seat, holding a yellow cup. The person is animated, gesturing with their hands and giving a thumbs-up, suggesting a cheerful mood. Another individual in a white shirt and cap is visible in the back seat. The car's interior is dimly lit, with the focus on the person in the pink shirt. The scene transitions to the car moving along a street at night, with the person in the pink shirt still visible, now seen from the side. The car's taillights are on, indicating it is in motion. The background shows a building with a worn facade, and the street is illuminated by streetlights, casting a warm glow. The video concludes with the car continuing to drive down the street, with another vehicle visible ahead, its headlights on, suggesting a busy urban environment. Throughout the video, the text '[@]smotrinetupi' is visible at the bottom of the frames, likely indicating the source or creator of the video.

I've helped someone set up F-Droid Basic on their still Googled device. Do you know why the "manage app" setting is greyed out in Android? Does that mean that Android will forcefully remove #FDroid's permissions if not opened in a while?
Also, fully automatic update installation does not appear to be working? I think it used to work in the past...?
It's a Pixel with stock ROM, not my own. Yes battery optimisation is turned off, and the app is even opened occasionally. There were about a dozen updates. I did not install; check manually a few days later if auto-update worked, and it hadn't. Even turned on update on data!
The battery permission is what I was worried Google would just forcefully reset.

'You've Taken $855,000 From Pharmaceutical Companies": Kennedy Spars With Senators During Wild Testimony
'You've Taken $855,000 From Pharmaceutical Companies": Kennedy Spars With Senators During Wild Testimony
Update (1520ET): Well that was actually pretty interesting. As Democrat Senators read prepared zingers to try and corner RFK Jr. over vaccines and other malarkey, Kennedy hit back with several very specific haymakers during the three-hour session - calling the Democratic lawmakers 'liars' - and even pointing out the Elizabeth Warren has taken nearly a million dollars from pharmaceutical companies.
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
Defiant on CDC Firings
At the center of Thursday’s hearing was Kennedy’s surprise decision last week to fire CDC Director Susan Monarez, just a month after she took the job. The move plunged the agency into turmoil, prompting several senior officials to resign.
Kennedy accused Monarez of lying in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published the same morning, in which she claimed she was removed for refusing to “rubber stamp” vaccine recommendations from Kennedy’s advisory committee.
“We are the sickest country in the world, that’s why we have to fire people at CDC,” Kennedy said.
🚨 BOOM!!!!!
WYDEN: Former CDC Dir. Susan Monarez said you told her, 'Just go along with vaccine recommendations even if they don't match with science.' You calling her a LIAR?
RFK: I did not say that to her.
WYDEN: She's lying?
RFK: Yes.
🔥🔥 t.co/HduxcSzULq
— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/…
Kennedy also defended his June purge of 17 members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel, known as ACIP, framing the move as an effort to “depoliticize” the committee. “I didn’t politicize ACIP, I depoliticized it,” he insisted.
Kennedy also said that that leading medical organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, were compromised because they accept pharmaceutical industry funding. That prompted an exasperated retort from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT):
“In your eyes, everybody but you is corrupt.”
"Everybody is corrupt but you?"
Sen. Bernie Sanders took aim at RFK Jr.'s statements casting doubt on the integrity of major medical organizations. Kennedy argued they've been corrupted by the pharmaceutical industry. t.co/0sWdbbdgCM

— JD Vance (@JDVance) twitter.com/JDVance/status/196…
Wyden down too!
🔥 Secretary Kennedy just DESTROYED Ron Wyden:
Wyden: "I hope you tell the American people how many preventable child deaths are an acceptable sacrifice."
RFK: "You've sat in that chair for 25 years while the chronic disease in our children went up to 76% and you said nothing" t.co/428R7BDN9T

Warning Shot From GOP Leadership
The most striking moment came when Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), the Senate’s No. 2 Republican, warned that Kennedy’s policies risk undermining decades of medical progress. Barrasso, who rarely breaks from his party’s leadership, signaled growing unease within the GOP about Kennedy’s sweeping changes.
“I’ve grown deeply concerned,” Barrasso said, citing both the recent CDC director firing and measles outbreaks. “There are real concerns that safe, proven vaccines like measles, Hepatitis B, and others could be in jeopardy, and that would put Americans at risk and reverse decades of progress.”
Sen. John Barrasso: "I support vaccines. I'm a doctor. Vaccines work. Secretary Kennedy, in your confirmation hearing you promised to uphold the highest standard for vaccines. Since then, I've grown deeply concerned." t.co/a6j4m4rJi5
— The Bulwark (@BulwarkOnline) twitter.com/BulwarkOnline/stat…
Trump’s Role Complicates GOP Strategy
Some Republican senators also sought to drive a wedge between Kennedy and President Trump, highlighting the former president’s past praise of Operation Warp Speed - the 2020 initiative to accelerate vaccine development.
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) said Trump deserved a Nobel Prize for ramping up vaccine production and criticized Kennedy’s decision to cancel $500 million in federal grants for new mRNA vaccine research.
“Canceling those contracts seems like a commentary upon what the president did in Operation Warp Speed,” Cassidy said.
He warned that Kennedy’s limits on federal vaccine funding are already causing confusion for consumers, noting reports of pharmacies unable to provide COVID-19 boosters due to shifting Health and Human Services recommendations.
“I would say effectively we’re denying people the vaccine,” Cassidy said.
Bill Cassidy's line of questioning was clever -- he pressed Kennedy on how he can praise Trump for Operation Warp Speed while at the same time denigrating vaccines.
Here's the entire exchange. t.co/zNatP0m6uy

Looking Ahead: CDC Vaccine Recommendations
Several senators pressed Kennedy on upcoming decisions by the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel, amid fears that broader vaccine recommendations for childhood diseases could be scaled back.
Kennedy offered few details but sought to reassure lawmakers on one point:
“I do not anticipate a change in measles vaccine recommendations,” he said.
Still, uncertainty lingers over how far Kennedy intends to take his overhaul of federal vaccine policy — and how much support he retains within his own party.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is testifying before the Senate today on the Trump administration's health agenda - where he's expected to face questions over a spate of firings and other leadership changes at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Eric Lee/Bloomberg/Getty Images </a>
Of note, RFK Jr. moved to fire former CDC Director Susan Monarez, while several top leaders at the agency zerohedge.com/political/woke-r…
in protest.
Watch Live:
The rot within the CDC goes back decades, however the most glaring example of their incompetence - or worse, was on full display during the COVID-19 pandemic - when the agency knew as early as pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/…
that the median Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) of covid was a tiny 0.23% (meaning 99.8% of the population was not under threat).
Instead of focusing their response on those actually at risk - the elderly and the frail, the CDC joined with Democrats to fear monger over "mass deaths in the streets".
Now, as Kennedy cleans house, the left is losing their minds.
Meanwhile, a CDC advisory committee has launched a review of COVID-19 vaccines, and will review data on the shots related to their safety, effectiveness, and immunogenicity, according to an Aug. 20 documentcloud.org/documents/26…
, which was released by the CDC.
Members also plan to look at gaps in existing knowledge “relating to bio distribution, pharmacokinetics, and persistence of the spike protein, mRNA, and lipid nanoparticles to inform immunization recommendations,” the document states.
Studies have found that the spike doi.org/10.1002/prca.202300048
in the vaccines persist for some time. Lipid nanoparticles are used to deliver the mRNA.

Hollow Knight: Silksong—the long-awaited sequel to one of the most celebrated indies ever—finally dropped today. Steam, GOG, consoles, even Switch 2.
After eight years of waiting, it’s here.
If you already know Hollow Knight, I don’t need to pitch you. You’ve been waiting, you’ve been watching every trailer, you’ve been refreshing Team Cherry’s site like a maniac.
But for the uninitiated: you’re Hornet, caught in Pharloom, a kingdom of silk and song. Your pilgrimage isn’t a stroll—it’s an ascent to a radiant citadel, where you’ll fight more than 200 new enemies, 40 bosses, and take on quests that’ll twist into side stories, beast hunts, and NPC rescues.
The presentation is ridiculously good. Hand-drawn 2D animation that feels like an immaculately filmed cartoon, but sharper, richer, more detailed than anything Disney would dare put to screen. Pharloom’s forests and citadels glow like a living painting.
Christopher Larkin is back on soundtrack duties, layering in lush, orchestral swells that make every fight sound operatic. Yes, you can buy the soundtrack, and yes, you should.
Mechanically, Hornet is faster, acrobatic, and armed with craftable tools. Healing has been overhauled too: instead of the slow Soul-drip, you now Bind with Silk—restoring up to three masks at once, so long as you don’t get smacked mid-animation. It makes fights frantic and dangerous in an all-new way.
Accessibility is spot-on: native Windows, Mac, and Linux builds. Fully Steam Deck verified. No Proton hacks. Runs on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Series X|S, Switch, and the Switch 2 with upgrades. Plug in any Xbox or PlayStation pad and you’re good.
The reception is overwhelmingly Positive on Steam. A 97% thumbs-up based on thousands of reviews. Praise this glowing isn’t just rare, it’s almost unheard of.
Team Cherry could have charged double. Instead, they priced it at $19.99 (C$25.99 here in Canada). Which feels almost criminal for a game of this scale. After all the waiting, Silksong isn’t just real—it’s here, and it’s already a classic.

I've got this vintage #Centronics to #Atari #SIO connector. The last time I tried it (last year sometime), I could LPRINT a line from BASIC, but line endings weren't correctly interpreted. (Unsurprising; Atari uses $9B as its line ending.)
Coming back to it today to see if the adapter was configured to interpret line endings correctly, I mostly got timeout errors in BASIC and twice only, some garbage, while trying to print.
(Printing via the parallel port on a Thinkpad 760CD running Windows NT4 works perfectly. So it's not the printer.)
Any tips on how to proceed further with troubleshooting this connector?

A Labour Party spokesperson, responding to Nadine Dorries defecting to Reform UK, said:
“Nadine Dorries says the Tory Party is dead - as one of the people who helped to kill it, she should know.
"She backed Boris Johnson through thick and thin despite the partying in Downing Street during the pandemic while people couldn't see their loved ones. And now she wants to help unleash the same chaos the Tories inflicted on Britain by joining Nigel Farage’s Reform."

The video features a man in a dark t-shirt and shorts engaging in playful interactions with two children in a well-lit living room. The text overlay reads "Girl dad vs boy dad," suggesting a comparison between how he interacts with his daughter and son. Initially, the man is seen holding a girl in a light-colored dress, lifting her up and spinning her around, while a boy in a light blue outfit watches from the background. The man then places the girl on a large gray bean bag chair and proceeds to play with the boy, lifting him up and spinning him around as well. The room is furnished with a gray couch with patterned cushions, a white door, and a large window allowing natural light to fill the space. The video captures a series of joyful and energetic moments, highlighting the man's playful and affectionate interactions with both children.

The food items are cylindrical and appear to be coated in breadcrumbs, giving them a light brown color. They are spaced out on the tray, with some crumbs scattered around them.
