Libre Office Impress on the Path to Suck

Normally I'd prefer Impress over anything from Microsoft, but here and now the program just sucks:

• The slide pane is buggy. Sometimes it works, somtimes not - that's annoying.
• You cannot insert a YouTube or online video, c'mon please!

My user experience is a constant struggle with panes, hidden menus and what not. 

Dia - how to delete something on MacOS

 Press FN + Delete (backspace)

For some reason you can't just press delete. But on a Mac it's more intuitive and artistic. Hence you have to guess this combination of keys. (Sarcasm warning)

Dia and the Flowchart

 The symbols we need are found in the UML symbol collection.

[SOLVED] Dia Diagram Editon Cannot Launch in MacOS

Run Dia from the terminal
Run it via this command in the terminal:

# DISPLAY=:0 /Applications/Dia.app/Contents/Resources/bin/dia

Launch via alias

Since it is often used, try to create an alias for the terminal:

# alias dia='DISPLAY=:0 /Applications/Dia.app/Contents/Resources/bin/dia'

In order to run dia, simply write this in the terminal

# dia

Unfortunately you'll have to run Dia from the terminal every time. Methinks this is a serious bug - since most users want something that will run out of the box. 

Make the alias permanent

In the termina edit the file .zshrc (og alternatively .bash-profile):

# nano .zshrc

Finally add these lines somewhere convenient in the file:

# Dia launch from the terminal

alias dia='DISPLAY=:0 /Applications/Dia.app/Contents/Resources/bin/dia'

MacOs: internal links in PDF documents cannot open in a browser

For some reason I often have problems when trying to open urls from a PDF on MacOS. If you know the cure here, please let me know in the comments below. 

Don't know why, but so far I've tried to:

• Use Acrobat Reader
• Use Safari 
• Use Chrome
• Change security settings
• Open the links from a browser
• Download the PDF, and open from a PDF-reader (sometimes that's the cure, but alas only sometimes)

In some documents the links work. In other documents they don't. Somehow I suspect that the problem may be PDF's created on a Windows system. My most esteemed collegues have Windows computers, where the links seem to work fine.
