Bluesky is the Microsoft Word of social media, which I mean in the derogatory sense, as the fediverse is the LaTeX of social media, which I also mean in the derogatory sense
Tim Richards@liamvhogan Now googling LaTeX
Julie@timrichards @liamvhogan ugh one of the first lessons of latex is careful about your google searches
ShadSterling@julie @timrichards @liamvhogan one of my classmates was using LaTeX for their homework and needed to use the card suit symbols, so searched for “latex suits”

Just before I started my teacher training I had a short placement in a primary school. During a history lesson on Queen Victoria the teacher did an image search for "Prince Albert" on the interactive whiteboard. Safesearch was off.

I will never forget that teacher's face, his double-take, and how he ripped the VGA cable out of the back of the computer.

@TeaKayB @jackeric @martinpallmann @liamvhogan @julie @timrichards I would always screw in my VGA plugs. I hope that hadn’t been done in this case

Ask me why I developed the "don't screw in the VGA plugs" muscle memory.

I learnt not to do that via a completely different dilemma... When I unscrewed one but it unscrewed on the wrong side, requiring opening up the case to re-attach the plug.

@TeaKayB @liamvhogan @julie @timrichards @ShadSterling but this is how you learn and how the greatest inventions came to life: by accident discovery.
