Was it that the PDF produced by latex was less OCR friendly than the word one, or just that you didn’t submit the PDF at all most of the time?

I guess if you trained a program to OCR PDFs that are produced by word it might get really good at that and less good at PDFs from other sources.

I’m curious if your CV font was computer modern?

Are those things in the middle at the back soft pretzels? They look like conkers (horse chestnuts), confused the hell out of me!

They always have done this, even before there was a wider understanding / acceptance of neurodiversity (e.g. at Bletchley Park)

I understand the anxiety but realistically don’t think you need to worry - autism would be a protected characteristic under most legal systems, right? You don’t choose to have autism so it’s not like drug use where there’s at least some degree of choice involved.

Two meetings a day sounds like luxury to me! I don’t have ADHD but meetings still absolutely kill my productivity. The switching penalty for technical tasks is much higher than non-technical people realise.

Just a small note that the businesses only have to open source their version if they release it. If they just use it internally then they don’t have to distribute the source code. So it depends on the use case.

My wife hates it when that happens

It made me chuckle, so thanks for that!

I’m feeling warmer already, thanks!

With the price of energy being what it is, people need the systemd flame wars to keep them warm!

I might have to ask you more questions about this when I’m up and running!

It’s a gaming PC but I will use it for other things as well. I don’t want to complicate other tasks because I’ve chosen a really specific OS for gaming, if that makes sense.

No comments except thank you, and please continue to write similar articles!

Apt pinning is such a nice way to pull in some new packages without affecting the whole system. It’s interesting in this specific case and also more generally! I have used it before once or twice but this is the best example I’ve seen for multiple packages.

Thank you so much for the link, it’s just the kind of information I was after. Very clearly written!

I’m also mostly interested in slightly older games like Rome Remastered, I probably won’t be playing many brand new titles.

Might try and get Age of Mythology working as well as I have so much nostalgia for it!

What kind of games are you into?

I haven’t chosen cutting edge hardware (AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT) so I don’t think drivers should be an issue in my particular case.

I think separating /home is a good idea so I can try some different distros and compare.
