man the fact that "Chinese" can refer to an ethnicity as well as citizens of a specific country makes that last post parse really strangely as it would be really weird to say that if the intention was to describe ethnically Chinese people in the diaspora. Somehow making such a sweeping generalization about nationals of a particular country seems less fraught.

for example, Spanish people love ham. yep they go nuts for amateur radio

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

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...?
