  • I study computer science and it’s definitely been an advantage. That being said, I believe circumstances might wary between institutions, countries, subjects and teachers a lot.

    For documents, when we have a group task, we just use collaboration platforms online, like Google docs. Gets the job done easily.

    When you’re alone, using free stuff shouldn’t be a problem.

    A little advice: don’t bother with latex and use typst instead. Latex works but it’s often weird and the error messages are hidden in a thousand lines of “unfull hbox”








  • Any modern DE in my fucking Raspberry Pi 5. I tried going Debian testing, broken packages. I tried installing other OSes, fedora didn’t even boot, Ubuntu broke in installation and now won’t let me log in.

    Gnome in Debian stable feels too old and I can’t get the screen keyboard working and disable the dann screen reader. I just want a box to put on my tv.

    Edit: was idiot, thought raspberry pi de was gnome.also the rpi5 needs a custom kernel as some stuff isn’t yet in the main one, so use raspbian.







  • Similar. 95-100 degrees C under load, while 70-85 (or something like that) is normal according to the support. It’s also very hot in idle (60-80). And when it gets hot, it throttles to unusable 400 MHz.

    Still in contact with support, I have warranty, so I’m hoping they get me new thermal paste or whatever is broken. It’s not a software thing.
