minus-squareRGB3x3@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·1 year agoI’m 28 and have no idea what a slide deck is. Is that somehow the new term for a PowerPoint presentation?
minus-squaredankm@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up19·1 year agoIronically, it’s a very old term for a powerpoint presentation. Presentations used to be done with actual photographic slides in a projector. They were stored in a deck of slides. I only know this from Mad Men.

minus-squaremilicent_bystandr@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoSomeday, my friends, presentations made and saved in Markdown will be king, and we can forget about opening slow programs to edit them. Yes, somehow the world will be a better place when everything is a plaintext document. At least that’s how I imagine it. Incidentally, there was a cool python program for presenting pdfs I used years ago. I wonder if it or similar are still in vogue somewhere.
