HomeBrew VS pdf-tools

https://brew.sh is your command line package manager

- download and install Homebrew (https://brew.sh)

Depending on the position your applying for, you need very different skills. HomeBrew surely took lots of effort to create but the software-engineering side is pretty "boring". Considerations around maintainability, ease-of-use, scalability, etc. OTOH are a big thing which show important, but very different skills.

As the other guy said, Homebrew is the package manager for MacOS.

So I guess my first question is... Why are you trying to use aptitude on a Mac? I think you want homebrew

Check out homebrew (https://brew.sh/); it may feel a bit more familiar coming from the *NIX/*BSD world for application management.

using sliver I cant activate. after installing necessary files and jailbreaking with checkra1n when clicking the reach home button, ideviceactivation and libimobiledevice arent found in terminal. I installed brew.sh but idk what else needs to be done

To the best of my understanding, I have followed the installation instructions as outline on https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools:

I think it would also be useful to mention Emacs' speechd-el (and EmacsSpeak) since you can do pretty much everything from Emacs. pdf-view-mode is compatible with OCR'd PDFs and would probably easily be put to the purpose of joining that with readers (it's also packaged as elpa-pdf-tools in Debian).

For me Doom-Emacs does everything I need. It has pdf-tools incorporated. Everything works like highlighting, annotations ...

Open the pdf in emcas with pdf-tools and start an org-noter session.

I have been using org-noter and pdf-tools for taking notes during lectures and annotating the slides. However, I would like to have an option to :

PDF-Tools for Emacs does a pretty good job as a viewer.

So, for example, if you use preview-latex in auctex, or the equivalent functionality in org-mode, you'll notice that the small image previews are very fuzzy, and not at all what you'd expect from your retina screen. The reason ultimately is that the Mitsuharu emacs-map fork has implemented certain things which make PNGs scale correctly for Retina screens, and makes use of Apple's native webkit-based SVG renderer rather than the Stallman-acceptable librsvg.
