The Oligarchs Pushing for Conquest in Greenland Trump’s fixation on filching the island territory from Denmark may seem like the demented ravings of a mad king. But to a cohort of plutocrat weirdos, it makes perfect sense.

Trump wil Groenland om z’n techvrienden aan een eigen land te helpen:

β€˜Silicon Valley tech investors had begun β€˜promoting the frozen island as a site for a so-called freedom city, a libertarian utopia with minimal corporate regulation.’’

NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors.

The full requirements will end tourism in the United States.

There are some templates from journals but I don’t know if you can submit this… yet.

But for assignments, exams, letters, lecture notes, it’s getting a great alternative IMO.

And our MSc students, instead of learning (old and archaic?) LaTeX, can just learn Typst (which is like Mardown)

Typst: Compose papers faster Focus on your text and let Typst take care of layout and formatting. Sign up now and speed up your writing process.

The missing link for me to switch from LaTeX to Typst (typst.app) is now a reality: with muchpdf we can use PDF figures!

(I often have figures with several pages; converting them to different SVG file was just a no-no).
