To be honest, I miss only so much things from here... Fediverse has injected almost everything that I need from the social network in me and I've made some physical friends on a local Halloween party (let's just say, a few "ru fedi" people gathered in Moscow recently). ☺️

Chatgpt bot here suggested an "Artificial Ass-kisser", it's just so funny 😆

@mostr4am I suppose someone must have posted this on Lemmy. It's kind of dumpster fire of a project which doesn't help prevent downvote bombing...

Sure, @retoor, as long as it's "UTC+1" and not some region name.

UTC is the default in most databases I've seen. And it lets us communicate time regardless of the many ways those entitled like to call theirs...

@cafecortado Don't trigger the GIF argument if you can, please...

Many kikitties have this obsession 🤤

I've had a delight translating few Minetest projects on Codeberg Translate (Weblate), which include Glitch game and AES minigames server, and https://symbol.fediverse.info from English to my native tongue.

Both. Both is good.

Awthere were missing you... from memory.

Debian looks stable, and you have servers to host, so...

Better fork: Make UI nice

Eclipse's fork: Add another useless toolbar, pick a terrible name

@kamen Fuck Microsoft stores, OpenVSX is simply the best out there.

@jestdotty You know what? Once you mentioned a "reflow" of the scanned pages, I've remembered a project from the decade old employment. It involved making scanned book actually readable and even transferring some graphics. Our lead had an orgasm from the thought of making notes on pages, so I had to implement those as well. All in a form of SPA that works on desktop. It was a time for me to learn Node.js and Electron.

I recall finding a lib that would help me convert an OCR reading to a normal text. Was a hell o' work, but most of the pages were converted nicely. But there were things that we had to correct by hand, like Yakut glyphs, spaces and conversion errors. Shame that I can't really remember if I was at the root of this or my colleague was, but I clearly was on the correction and web duty.

They don't work on my end. I recheck app manually.

Speaking of "better and stronger" devRant, I've published my musings on how Fediverse can be a devRant alternative here:

Please give it a read and let me know what you think.

@electrineer Not really. Whatever file manager you pick, there are just times when random app will trigger a system UI, the slow file picker made by fucking Google that you can't change for some hellish reasons... Not without rooting, anyway.

@retoor Haha, shot and miss... on the subject of person who could recommend you a screenreader. I don't use one.

It was more of an example of how PDF text lines can be transferred into your brain, but there are other ways that I'm probably missing.

I'm on fediverse most of the time now. Interesting follows, good feed and back (see what I did there?), scope I never thought I needed. Discover my profile! 😊😉

@tosensei Yep, looks like it. The English variant on the left implies that all fields (despite this particular error appearing under only one of them) must end with a capitalized name, while the one that falls back to Russian implies that only one capital letter can be present in the name.

Either way, both these errors are fucking stupid and they come from idiotic mentality. Whoever required those must have a tapeworm of a worldview. I bet it's a kind of a person similar to "patriots"...

It is getting hard on me to roast someone whose content often reflects them. Now, that's only because I don't want to suly the content.

This person knows way too much and thus is a danger!

All is great and good in PDFs until you realize that each line of text is absolutely positioned... If you were to increase the font size, you would need to increase the distance between those lines as well as to wrap line contents just so they fit the screen. And by that point all line breaks act stupid, text doesn't read as whole. Unfortunately, PostScript kinda documents are not layout-agnostic and have very specific dimensions. Web is just more superior when you want a flexible book... but barely anybody publishes a book in HTML.

To address your issue: maybe a screen reader application is needed? It could glance over line breaks and concatenate them into a single text piece each time?

@electrineer *MLG and airhorn noises* Ooooooh
