Mona Clark ⚧ @mona@computerfairi.es

@hayden I would like to see more of your glasses, if you do not mind *tailswish*

@Alyx This is not Twitter, so, yes.

Oh, yes, let me not forget @Alyx, who is in a sense my childhood self, only walking around as a separate entity with distinct interests. A curious experiment of Kara's that would take rather too long to explain even in 500 characters.

Oh, I should write up a short #introduction (#introductions?) piece. My name is Mona Clark, and I'm an anthro horse who once functioned as @kara_dreamer's furry identity, under a number of other names and forms. Now I have a new career of sorts, as an auxiliary personality for Kara. I have a fairly broad education (B.S. CompSci, B.A. Classics, both 1999; M.S. Chemistry, 2012) and a passion for academic and scholarly pursuits of all kinds. I act as Kara's secretary, of sorts.

@Irick good night!

@Canageek@cybre.space Still, it's difficult to muster up much sympathy for a markup language, however powerful. One might bridle at using a conventional word-processor's equation editor, for example, but it's also far more like how I'd actually go about writing down an integral (or whatever).

@Canageek@cybre.space I have to admit that does seem a little tempting.

@kel @Angle Really, little dragon, you underrate me. I can talk anyone to death on a much wider variety of subjects.

@Canageek@cybre.space I mean, I'm already many pages deep into the official documentation and have yet to see anything that even begins to tell me how I would compose a document with this thing. I assume the results must be worth the muddle?

@Canageek@cybre.space @oceangrunge *flips through* okay...this looks a bit unpleasant, actually. why would I want to use this?

@Canageek@cybre.space @oceangrunge hrm, okay...what advantages does it confer? I've only ever had to write one proper paper, ever, and didn't have to do anything that I couldn't have done on a Mac Quadra running Word 5.

@Canageek@cybre.space @oceangrunge What the heck is LaTeX?

@oceangrunge oh, dear, my young draconic charge @kel will probably be demanding purchase of this

@somarasu @staticsafe@mastodon.zombocloud.com Oh! well...I can't fault you for that, although I think "Van Helsing" is deeply silly. (though still enjoyable, and I like the werewolf models)
