    True, it is a bit wonky indeed when opening some chonky pdf files… I guess I just got familiar with the layout bc I was already accustomed with it on a jailbroken kindle.

    Once you get the bells & whistles down, you can pretty much read anything cozily on any screen/orientation. Still, more of an e-reader app than a PDF viewer.

    Anyway, thanks for the guide! Lots of apps I didn’t know about and I’ll be sure to try them all out :)

    same as x * .5 = .25 if that somehow helps ya

    I suspect people might be getting confused by this because of colloquialisms like “divided in half”, “divided in the middle”, “divided by two”

    things is, math doesn’t care about idioms

    another area in mathematics that I’ve seen ppl (myself included lmao) suffer from this is propositional logic. like with the non exclusive nature of the OR operator

    but this is all just a wild guess

    Remember: big corpo trains you to depend on them since childhood in schools, which all use Office.

    lmao I remember getting schooled by a math teacher when I tried to use libreoffice calc instead of excel on an assignment back in highschool

    detail: all the school computers ran linux. fuck whoever didn’t have a pc with windows at home

    she brought her windows laptop and attached it to the projector and expected everyone to have the assignment files in a format excel could read

    problem is, at least going 12 years back, not all calc functions and/or param names translate directly to excel ones

    so when she opened the file, which I made sure was one excel could read, there was a bunch of gibberish on some cells

    when I told her it worked as intended on libreoffice, she said something along the lines of: you don’t go to church using the same clothes that you use when going to a nightclub

    anyway, at least the school was trying not to depend on windows
