Doesn't ctrl+/ select all in either GTK key theme?

by aplaice 4y ago
Unfortunately, GTK 4 has removed key themes. Eventually, Firefox, Chrom(e|ium) and all actual GTK applications will migrate to GTK 4, so this is not very future-proof. I use a variant of the emacs key theme, so I'd be happy if there we

I'm not disagreeing that (in these scenarios) EB would probably become paid-for, while Chrome never would. I'm just arguing that Chrome would become even more privacy- and user-unfriendly, which is the approximate equivalent of EB

Doesn't the same also partially hold for Firefox and Chrome, though? They wouldn't start charging for Chrome, as that's not their business model, but they might move part of their development out of (open source) Chromium and

I second the mpv-based solution, as suggested by st1ck. If you prefer vlc, it now (as of the beta 4.0.0)[0] also supports dual/secondary subtitles. Making it work seems a bit fiddly: first you need to turn them on (under Tools > Pre

Celestia[0][1] can just about do it. In principle, it can show you what you'd see from any point in space. In practice, it's limited by the data it has (for stars, it uses the Hipparcos Catalogue, which only contains ~ 100,000 sta

How's it worse? In either case, you can use TeX as your input, and if you do, you have to convert it, client-side or browser-side, into something usable by the browser; it's just that if the browser accepts MathML the rendering is

Pandoc and Mediawiki have been able to convert embedded LaTeX to MathML, for a while. Once Chromium supports MathML most CMSs will probably start providing suitable converters, and in the meantime MathJax will still work (and better, since

XML is faster and far simpler to parse than TeX. To the extent that you need to (if for whatever reason you don't want to rely on a LaTeX to MathML or Ascii to MathML converter) you can make the quadratic equation MathML slightly more

When you write web-pages, do you usually write the raw HTML or do you use something like Markdown or Wikitext and have it converted to HTML? If the latter, then why would having LaTeX as part of the input and MathML as part of the output, b
