@Doveux@meow.social As good a time as any to share the story of my dear roommate who first started using LateX when we began our graduate studies. After a week or so of diligently typing up his quantum chemistry notes, he told me that he should really read up on and get around to "compiling" it. Can you imagine the look on my face

@Doveux@meow.social I am so glad people are starting to wake up to the pain and suffering that affects so many of us. My hands start shaking the second I have to edit a .tex file. My eyes begin twitching uncontrollably every time I am forced to sit through another set of ugly slides put together using beamer. Any mention of LaTeX compels, nay, forces me to start ranting about "Stockholm syndrome" despite me knowing that real Stockholm syndrome does not exist. This affliction is real and it needs to be talked about!
