  Also, for printing configure footnote for links.

  For example in latex, if I’m printing something I redefine \href as \fn so the text is the same but the link is on footnote.

  And is harmful for people like me, who like to copy paste the pdf into a markdown file write answers there and send a rendered pdf to professors. While I keep the markdowns as my notes for everything. I’d read the text I copied.

  The subtitle could have been not literal translation. The dialogue could have been “this is kanji for japan” or characters for japan. But the subtitle wrote Chinese for japan, because the movie/speaker was Chinese… Maybe

  Not just semantics. PDFs doesn’t even have segmentations like spaces/lines/paragraph. It’s just text drawn at locations the text processor/any other softwares inserted into. Many pdf editor softwares just detect the closeness of the characters to group them together.

  And one step further is you can convert text to path, which basically won’t even have glyph (characters) info and font info, all characters will just be geometric shapes. In that case you can’t even copy the text. OCR is your only choice.

  PDF is for finalizing something and printing/sharing without the ability to edit.

  Cap is a genZ term. That’s cap = that’s a joke/lie/ something along that. I’m not fluent in the language.

  Waiting both sneezing or trying to hold back is dangerous? What are we supposed to do half-ass it?

  Those topics seems a little advanced for a Linux user without cyber security knowledge though. I personally don’t understand any of them lol. I know what hardening is, what CVEs are; but except for few anecdotes like the logj4, xz, etc, I don’t think I’d know enough to talk about the cyber security side of linux.

  I was thinking more along the side of daily life things. Like how programmer like linux because it’s easier to develop things and manage environments and cross program compatibility.

  What would be interesting topics in Linux for you guys. I am in a Linux student club, have no experience with cyber security except the generic things, and we are looking to attract cyber security students since Linux doesn’t have many students to maintain club status.

  Hey this solution seems to work but it’s not perfect; I don’t know how we can improve it, and nothing to replace it with, but let’s take it down asap.

  That’s what bibliography is. It’s already like that, or am I missing something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Publishing Revenue⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re not saying pay the authors a bunch, we’re saying make the papers free to read. Or at least don’t charge authors and readers both, while keeping all the money for yourself.

  I remember there being something like this already. The final mission happens as they say “this is the final training for you”. The enemy (aliens) behave differently than expected in this final simulation because they are not immediately aggressive and are waiting while defending their location, but the child successfully eliminates them. And later learns that was the actual aliens and not the simulation. And the aliens were just trying to find a place and protect their new generation, or sth.
