I don’t know, but there might be pdf viewers that permit editing layers. Try LibreOffice Draw or gscan2pdf. Maybe The Gimp can do it.

Only if it earns a profit.

I use ocrmypdf, after being a bit frustrated with gscan2pdf. There is a simple ui available, but I just created a tiny script that does the ocr , deskew, etc. In one operation with wildcard file selection.

I also installed a jbig compressor that really shrinks images. My processed docs are generally 40% to 80% smaller, and it seems to get better tesseract output than gscan does.

I generally stick with Firefox, but I do have chromite ony degoogled secondary phone as a backup in case something only works with chromium renderer.

A fellow old-schooler, I see! Me too!

Perhaps the curator is running a red herring with the intention or blocking liberal media?

I was not saying 25 for a dev job, i was saying that for other kinds of work i might be able to get without getting a new degree.

I understand how it works. The fact remains that companies already laid off people because of AI, and until now, I have never been unemployed more than 2 months.

I’ve also never seen a market in which most job posting garner 200 to 500 applications within 24 hours. It is armageddon out here.

Oh, i dunno… my chromecast for tv is holding up okay, and i don’t get advertisements in it’s main ui.

My 2013 LG lcd is doing okay although i brole a bunch of the dots. I will have to replace it soon, and there aren’t any non smart units available. I guess i’ll gave to block the traffic.

I’ve been unemployed for 7 months. Every online job I see that’s been posted for at least 6 hours has over 200 applications. I’m a senior Dev with 30 years experience, and I can’t find work.

I’d say generative AI is an existential threat as bad as offshoring was for steel in the early 80s. I’m now left with the prospect of spending the last 20 years of my work life at or near minimum wage.

After all, I can’t afford to spend $250,000 on a new bachelor’s degree, and a community college degree might get me to $25/hr, and still costs thousands. This is causing impoverishment on a massive scale.

Ignore this threat at your peril.

You are welcome! You’re making me blush.

However you use heat energy to generate other energy, it will not solve the problem of heat being increased in cities. Heat is an end State energy form.

This is why you may have heard the phrase the heat death of the universe. Entropy can be thought of as all energy being converted to heat, evenly distributed in the universe. The best you can do is move the heat elsewhere.

Heat death of the Universe happens when the heat is evenly distributed and there’s no way to move it to produce other forms of energy, like electricity.

Theoretically, heat can be turned into matter per Einstein, but we haven’t figured that out yet.

Lying about voting locations and dates aren’t subverting the constitution? Really? So we only have the constitutional right to vote if we can figure out the real times and locations on our own, and giving false information that causes people to be unable to Vote is all just lulz?

We both know it won’t prevent them. They will just repackage their arguments to get the result they desire. For example, the supreme court appointments arguments.

Free speech does not include subversion of the constitutional right to vote or seditious speech. The judges are clearly partisans. I’ll wager they are Republican appointees.

One where Republicans block all Democrat court appointments, then push through their candidates at high speed when Republicans are in control.

What I can’t figure out is why the Democrats can’t use similar tactics successfully. This is how we got a Republican Supreme Court.

Somehow they were able to stonewall Obama’s nominees for over a year, then pushed through conservative appointees fast enough to give us whiplash - legal problems be damned.

This is my view. I went the privacy route. The result is the addictiveness of the service went way down. For me, that’s a win.

There are other ways to give us content we might like. For example, have a list of topics and categories we can select. This reduces invasiveness while providing some benefit.

The problem is that does not give Google what it wants out of the relationship.

This is the way.

We’ve been able to survive for 200,000 years without any of this s***.

Preach!

I’m old enough to remember when none of this stuff existed. I have a threshold Beyond which I simply stop using the service.

I’m actually pretty close to my lifestyle from before 1995. I don’t have any cable I have basic internet I don’t do any of the Music Services. Video-wise I only have Prime and any free services I can get on Chromecast for TV. I’m getting close to my threshold with prime, as the annual fee is getting real high.

I’m already starting to lose interest in most YouTube channels. It’s not so bad here, really. I get to experience reality more.
