Many cats are demonstrative. Meowing + running off = “follow me!” Meowing + food bowl = “feed me!” Meowing + walking up to you = “pet me!”

gImageReader is a graphical front-end to the open-source OCR program Tesseract, so that might be just what you’re looking for. The default settings don’t add the OCR’d text to the PDF but you can do that.
The mixture is my point. Some things are better. Some things are worse. I specified for women because the backlash against woke has already hurt women badly.
If you are a woman, do you think society was in better shape in 2012 or today? Standing Confederate monuments, hostility to trans people, and all?
Did LO discontinue distribution via torrent?
Edit: torrents are now up. Does it always take a day?
Gentoo seems great if you want to experiment with patches to major programs or system libraries. That’s what I used it for.
Leave a bad review. I did get halfway back.
cURL is a very commonly used program to download individual files from the command line and worth installing to have it around in the future.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install curl
The first command tells your package manager to update its list so you ask for the latest version. You can skip it if you’ve already updated today. The second command tells your package manager to install cURL.
This will happen every now and then, especially when building a package from source. You won’t have some common utility that the documentation writer assumed you had, and you will need to find what package provides it and install the package.
From your other responses, this is a system issue not a problem with the website.
Lemmy.world’s code has this font list for sans-serif: system-ui,-apple-system,“Segoe UI”,Roboto,“Helvetica Neue”,“Noto Sans”,“Liberation Sans”,Arial,sans-serif,“Apple Color Emoji”,“Segoe UI Emoji”,“Segoe UI Symbol”,“Noto Color Emoji”
I’d use the dev tools to check which font is being rendered. I’m on Windows so I get Segoe UI, which I find entirely acceptable.
The US has lots of land that doesn’t require irrigation, but also lots of land that can grow crops if irrigated. Some of that land in California is some of the best farmland in the whole country, growing things that prefer California’s Mediterranean climate (similar to parts of Australia’s southwest coast).
We have the technology and have had it for a while. But we don’t have the laws and habits of dry countries so US water laws are a wasteful mess.
An irrigation canal like this is a big ditch to move water from a river to near farm fields. Without the extra water taken from the river, there wouldn’t be enough water in the soil for crops to grow in the area.
Being a big ditch open to the sky, the hot sun and dry air make a bunch of the irrigation water evaporate before it even gets to the field. So we went to all the effort of taking water out of the river just to waste it humidifying the nearby air.
Why did we do it in the first place? Because it’s way easier and cheaper to dig a ditch than to lay a big pipe, and I don’t know if the US had any other water-delivery tech at the right scale when these were built.
Even UTF-16 used by Windows isn’t fair because it needs twice as much space for hieroglyphs. Won’t someone think of the ancient Egyptians?
Seriously, now that most display systems can handle putting accents on letters instead of needing a code point just for á, a new universal encoding would be nice. Purge it of Unicode’s precomposed letters, duplicated Chinese characters, and duplicated-in-retrospect letters and you could fit another few alphabets into Plane 0.
But convincing tech companies to make webpages bigger seems difficult.
Seems to vary depending on whether I’m attempting to listen to music on my device (“attempting to” is the right word as it takes 15 seconds to load each individual song as it goes through a playlist) or listen to a YouTube video. It can go further into the background if it’s music on my device, no further back than a big window drawn over the screen if it’s a podcastable video, and must be in the foreground for a video IIRC.
Firefox supports a font technology for less common scripts, Graphite, that the for-profit-corporate browsers do not. I use one of those scripts once in a great while. So I’m locked in until OpenType has better support.
What are you asking exactly? Are you wondering about standard politeness in English, or wondering why Adobe wrote an announcement in the style used for friends and family of the dead and published it as a press release?
In the USA it’s not a crime to be racist, promote a religion teaching that God wants you to be racist, say most racist things in public, or even join the American Nazi Party. The line is set at threatening, inciting, or provoking violence, and judges don’t accept online arguments that saying racist garbage is inherently threatening.
Remember having to enter DRULYB to get a different outfit?
As a technological problem it could have a technological partial solution: the darker the skin, the higher the threshold to declare a match. This would also mean more false negatives (real matches not caught by the software) but not much to do about that.
Bitcoin was designed to gain value over time by making minting more bitcoins increasingly expensive. I don’t think speculation was the intended use, but widespread adoption would be strangled anyway by making holding onto the bitcoin more profitable than most things you could buy with it.
Looks like they put the oversized load on a boat for as long as they could, but have to do the last leg by road.
