Apology rejected.

Sorry, I don't use Latex and am entirely unfamiliar with it, I mostly use org-mode to export to HTML where CSS would be used for this. This Stack Overflow thread says you can add :align |c|c|c| to #+attr_latex to get columns. Apparently column groups also will add these lines, which works in the ODT export but not the HTML one so may work in the Latex one.

This blog post has a walkthrough on using an alternative table extension that may be helpful.

Weird, are they getting overridden by something else in your config (a package or something). In an org-mode buffer, what's the output of C-h v org-export-with-sub-superscripts?

Edit: worked out the issues, I wrote the one of the variable names wrong, it should be org-export-with-sub-superscripts not org-export-with-superscripts

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago (5 children)

You need to use a symbol, not a string:

(setq org-export-with-superscripts '{}
      org-use-sub-superscripts '{})

write something like this: log_{critical}_{error}

That's what you'd need to write to have subscript, with the above set:

  • log_critical => log_critical
  • log_{critical} => log~critical~

First of all: how can I turn of the need to manually stop the code execution for code blocks when exporting

From the docs:

You can prevent Org from evaluating code blocks for speed or security reasons:

  • To speed up export, use the header argument ‘:eval never-export’
  • For greater security, set the org-export-use-babel variable to nil, but understand that header arguments will have no effect in this case.

The next thing is, that my function names include underscores, which in orgmode translates to making the following text lowercase.

Do you mean subscript, like HELLO~WORLD~? Also from the docs:

If you write a text where the underscore is often used in a different context, Org’s convention to always interpret these as subscripts can get in your way. Configure the variable org-use-sub-superscripts and/or org-export-with-sub-superscripts to change this convention. For example, when setting these variables to {}, ‘a_b’ is not displayed/exported as a subscript, but ‘a_{b}’ is.

conversely, feddit.uk is a LEMMY instance. They run a custom UI frontend and backend both currently based off of version 0.19.17 (UI: 0.19.17-2-g4f0da5f5 & BE: 0.19.17-feddit).

For anyone curious, the modifications aren't that significant. The two UI changes are adding an explicit referrerPolicy to iframes and detecting avif files as images. Backend has more changes like blocking NSFW stuff, enabling image proxying for lemmings.world and some user agent stuff.

Gender as a term has existed since the 14th century, the distinction that gender = social/cultural aspects and sex = biological aspects is a recent phenomenon, but still predates the internet. The problem with 'biological male' is it actually doesn't tell you anything, it's just a way of calling someone a man with plausible deniability. Are you talking about chromosomes, sholder-to-hip ratio, hormone levels or any of the other biological stuff we conceptually tie to sex? And what is the BBC referring to when calling this unnamed woman a 'biological male' (they're not referring to anything biological, they are calling this woman a man).

also, right from the article disproving your annoyance…

They're referring to the nurse, not the trans woman. The part I quoted is literally the only time the article refers to the trans woman.

transgender woman - who was born a biological male - after she addressed them as "Mr"

The BBC sure have got the 'not technically misgendering' thing down to a science, calls her a 'biological male' (nonsense term made up by internet activists) and refuses to use she/her pronouns for the trans woman.

How is this the way I first heard about the results‽

Famously they’ve been very successful where come from - Sheffield - but have absolutely nothing to put to their name following a long-reigning green party mayor of the city … other than some postulating and participstion in reality shows.

(Actually i would credit the green party’s success here with the delay to Sheffield getting an improved metro system, which is now only going ahead under a labour-led Combined authority for the entire county.)

He held a, what Wikipedia calls, ceremonial post for one year? The Greens also only had 8 councillors and Labour a majority, so this criticism feels very misplaced.

Maybe if the title was clearer that this was a nomination thread there'd be more engagement, because it does currently look like just an announcement post. !anime@ani.social and !canada@lemmy.ca did that and more people are joining in there.

No paywall

Labour has abandoned plans to allow AI companies to take copyrighted works without permission after a backlash from the creative industries.

Ministers initially proposed reforming copyright law to boost the AI industry but were faced with a campaign of opposition led by Sir Elton John and Sir Paul McCartney, who accused the government of legalising the “theft” of creative works.

Liz Kendall, the technology secretary, and Lisa Nandy, the culture secretary, will update parliament on the issue on Wednesday.

They are expected to ditch an “opt-out” policy which would have allowed AI companies to train software on copyrighted works unless the rights holder removed their consent.

Nandy told peers in January that “at the moment we do not have a workable opt-out proposal on the table”.

On March 5, 2026, a threat actor exploited a classic "Pwn Request" vulnerability in the CI workflow of kubernetes-el/kubernetes-el, a popular Emacs package for managing Kubernetes clusters. The attacker stole the repository's GITHUB_TOKEN (with full write permissions), exfiltrated CI/CD secrets, defaced the repository, and injected destructive code.

The package has since been removed from MELPA (a popular third-party Emacs package repository) and blocked from updating on the Emacsmirror, affecting users who depend on it for Kubernetes management within Emacs.

 

MPs have rejected a Lords amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill that would allow a social media ban for under 16s. Instead, they have voted to give ministers much broader powers which could be used to restrict Internet access to under 18s.

This will give ministers huge powers to restrict the Internet without having to pass new legislation. The powers could be used to restrict access to websites, social media platforms, apps and games of their choosing. Ministers will not have to demonstrate harm to children, effectively ripping up work carried out by Ofcom to assess services according to the risks and harms they pose.

This mean that the current or future governments could restrict content they are ideologically opposed to. For example, a Reform government could force ID checks to access LGBQT content as part of their manifesto commitment “to end trans ideology” in schools.

Ministers would also have the powers to impose digital curfews and to limit the time spent on certain platforms – for example preventing under 18s from playing games such as Minecraft, Fifa and Fortnite after a certain time.

MPs also rejected a Lords amendment to restrict access to VPNs, but gave Ministers the power to introduce such a measure.
