Software engineer when I worked for a living. Now just studying French, getting back to the piano, and re-reading old college textbooks.

Languages are cool. Just trying to be kind.

Question for French fediverse... I'm a native (US) English speaker, and B2 (adv intermediate) French speaker. I'd like more practice writing. Does anyone have experience with sites that connect people wanting to practice English in exchange for reading and correcting my French?

(Not looking for personal relationships, just penpals for language study!)

TIL: There is LaTeX coffee stains package and I think you should know this: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/examples/latex-coffee-stains/qsjjwwsrmwnc
LaTeX Coffee Stains

An online LaTeX editor that’s easy to use. No installation, real-time collaboration, version control, hundreds of LaTeX templates, and more.

@Dtl I really like my ReMarkable 2 and use it constantly. Its limitations are its strengths - if I used an iPad, I'd end up doomscrolling. Instead, a ReMarkable is like a (semi-infinite) set of notebooks with the "scratchy" feel of paper. Simulates pens from fine-point to fountain pen; I use the fountain pen setting almost exclusively.

If I dropped mine from a tall building, I'd buy the newest one so I could highlight in color.
