It's also generally a pain in the ass for people with good vision too, since text can't be copied out of a JPEG. If you want to forward a paragraph of text from a pure raster document, you have to read and type it all out yoursel

Is there any way to embed raster graphics into an svg? If so, maybe svg could be used as a text-capable container for raster images.

In many industries, writable PDFs are commonplace and aren't seen to be a problem because people in those industries don't see any problem with using Acrobat. If you want to unseat Acrobat and PDF, I think you'll have to pro

I've been looking for a FOSS desktop agnostic universal file previewer or thumbnail generator for a while now; if anybody has suggestions I'd love to hear them. Ffmpegthumbnailer for video thumbnails or imagemagick for image thum

That is your subjective opinion, one lots of people in this thread happen to disagree with.

The only reason you think 'Rocky Linux' sounds unprofessional is because you are unaccustomed to hearing it in a professional context. Before I read where the name came from, I assumed it was named after the mountain range. Woul

I hate this shit, I've only seen the sketchiest sort of spyware, like discord, do it. Browsers should forbid it, since it's a blatant end-run around the limitations a 'web app' would normally have. Furthermore, browsers

If you've ever taken a course on American history, you'll recall that in the late 19th century some American newspapers started a bullshit war with Spain. The journalism industry has never been clean. Even Benjamin Franklin was

The very name of the publication says everything I ever needed to know about them. Gawk: to stare or gape stupidly. Their articles invariably lived up to the name. This was not an organization anybody should have been taking seriously.

I agree. This occurred about a week I had the car in the shop to be checked out before the trip. I only had about a thousand miles on it since it was last in a garage.

Large animals in the middle of nowhere on land so flat you can see for miles? I hit a deer once in Pennsylvania so I'm wary of the possibility, but that only concerns me when visibility next to the roads is poor. If there were corn f

The only time I ever got pulled over in that part of the country is when I was doing about a hundred mph. I think that was a bit unfair since the road was straighter than an arrow from horizon to horizon, but breaking dumb laws is still la

Of course it's a matter of personal preference, but I love the clack-clack noise. I think trains are second only to coastal ferries for a comfortable night sleep.

Even Amtrak's coach class is a hundred times more comfortable than flying coach. I'd sooner spend ten hours in a train than two hours on a plane and try to do so whenever I have a chance (which is not nearly as often as I'd

The question I have is whether such systems ever truly existed at pornhub. They're obviously shady as hell and I wouldn't put it past them to straight out lie. Google's systems are known to exist because they have a high fa

I'd say google/youtube is much better at detecting known content actually, though they have a notoriously high false positive rate. Pornhub has a notoriously high false negative rate.

Their 'AI algos' allow videos to be repeatedly reposted after being deleted, as detailed in the NYTs article.

Cinemax at least shows content that is softcore erotica by any definition. Though from what my [dead] sibling comment says, maybe they no longer have this sort of programming.

Right, there is a keen difference between organized crime thriving or merely existing. That it would continue to exist misses the point.

Is Tim Cook an example of corporate media who's owned by the Saudis?

The Saudis are incredibly rich, and that makes it socially acceptable to ignore their numerous heinous crimes!
