While I agree with the point made, calling it a study makes it sound like it was done by an independent party. This study was conducted by the article publisher. Saying “a study by The Breach” or “Analysis by The Breach” would have been more accurate.
I just find it a bit ironic that a newspaper calling out the bias of an another newspaper don’t even take the time to label their title correctly…
I’m a bit like you! I’m studying to become a High School science teacher, so I’m not in a technical program. My computer serves mostly as a typing machine. I switched 2 years ago and it wasn’t all smooth, but I’ll share some of the things I encountered and what I did.
First problem I had, cloud sync. I used to be a a big OneDrive user and I wanted to sync everything with my drive as I used to be. There isn’t a very good program for syncing OneDrive. I bought a licence to InSync and it made it work flawlessly. Seriously good software! (nowadays I host my own Nextcloud server, but don’t start with that, it’s a lot of job for not a whole lot).
Second problem was getting used to LibreOffice. Compared to Office, LO isn’t formated around pages, every text you write is considered “one big text” and then it calculates where to put its page breaks and everything. What does it change? Not a whole lot, but technically speaking, it’s not as good as a formatting tool as Word is. Doesn’t really matter if you aren’t a formatting freak like I am, but it took me a some time to get use to it. To get better with it, I recommend you to practice styles on it (text style and page style).
Third problem, collaboration. I didn’t find a very good solution to it. What I do is I ask all my colleagues to write their parts online (Google Docs, MS Office Online,…) then once everything is done and perfectly written, I download it and open it in LO and do the final formatting. So I’m always the one doing the formatting. It’s important than when you give it back to your teachers, give it in a .PDF format. (Btw, unrelated, but look into Zotero, it’s a life saver)
And a general tip and trick I could give you is to keep close a Windows/Mac machine (not with you at all times, but just something you access fairly easily if you plan in advance). There were a few times a professor mandated that we submitted the work in MS office format, and I didn’t want to risk it not being right, so I did it in LO and polished it in Office. That and I was asked to use a very specific, Windows only software, so having it was very useful.
If you have other questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
Mind explaining why you think she’s a conspiracy theory nutter? Not asking in a bad way, I’ve just never heard that about her before
This article seems to say that this AWD is linked to the SA accident of earlier this week, which isn’t linked at all. This article is weirdly written and clearly not made by someone who knows things about planes…
O’Toole wasn’t perfect, but at least I felt that, if he won, I wouldn’t be ashamed of my country. I could genuinely have told myself: “well, let’s see how this goes!”
Dang, never thought I’d say that I missed a Conservative, but I indeed do miss O’Toole…
Okay, straight up, wtf? It needs to become illegal right away, this is waaaaaaaaay too sketchy…
I’m boring Af, I use Ubuntu with Mate DE.
I would love to switch to Opensuse Tumbleweed, but I need Ubuntu because of some interactive board drivers that are only available for ubuntu… 😭
Posted on South China Morning Post. Pretty obvious bias. If a Singaporean outlet would say the same thing, I would believe it, but I wouldn’t trust a Chinese journal (or an American).
