Yes please! But only as long as no astronauts get hurt.

May I suggest Master PDF Editor? It’s proprietary, and I think you may need to pay for some of the features, but I’ve used it for years and have generally been pretty happy with it. An open source alternative that I’m not as familiar with is PDF4QT, which is still a bit rough around the edges last time I checked.

As far as Wine goes, I have never gotten it to work with any Adobe product, ever, period. If you really need to use Adobe stuff, I suggest using it from a Virtual Machine with Windows.

This is several years old, does it still work? Not sure that it does, but thanks nonetheless for posting.

😁👍

Literature 📚

Will do, thank you 👍. For the record, looks like ebooks purchased from Google Play Store still use crackable Adobe DRM. I’d prefer to buy from ebooks.com, but I refuse to be confined to one app or device by fucking DRM. I don’t like giving money to Google, but if you have GrapheneOS you’re already forking out big bucks to them for a Pixel phone, though hopefully in the future it’ll be able to run on Motorola . . .

(Better than just putting him up against the wall, I guess, right?)

There’s this, but anyone know where I can get Thorium 3.10?

EDIT: Was hoping for Calibre plugin(s) . . .

EDIT EDIT: Tried this without success:

There’s this, an article from Art in America, which I’m in the process of reading now.

On DDG is “Search Assist” the same thing as “Duck.ai?” Must confess that the former can be extremely useful sometimes, as long as I check its references.

Mrs. Erinaceus thanks you for this 🌈👍🏻

Can’t abandon something I never joined in the first place! 🙂

Um, so, sorry for the potentially dumb question, but do I need to worry about this?

Sure wish they were still around. Do you know about Echostar? Martha Schwendener’s project.

For the most part, I think, yes. However, there was a compromise between the English and the French living there, IIRC, instead of a war.

I think you’re probably right, but I do worry about any violence that would ensue . . .

Watch this.

EDIT: But now I’m finally going to get around to asking this: do any of you, living in the US, vote?

Would you ever consider voting DSA/Socially democratic, even if your views are to the left of them and you are anti-capitalist? What if voting for the PSL is not an option where you are? Would you ever vote for someone like Trump just to make things intentionally worse in the hopes of sparking off a revolution? Not sure if I will ever vote again at this point…

Can the IMDb be scraped? Not necessarily for the reviews, but for the titles, actors, and so forth. Kind of wish Anna’s Archive had done that instead of Spotify.
