You could always write your own program that runs before the compiler. Simple character replace for those unicodes to ascii

So IDE with syntax highlights? Those blocks things are also pretty much shown in most IDE, what do you use to code?

I even have prettifying turned on so the keywords like in, lambda, etc are prettified.

Git works through ssh. So you need the same system as sshing into your machine. You just make a user group git and then let git and ssh handle things. And if you don’t need people to push to your repo, then it’s a lot easier as it’s now similar to hosting a website/file server.

If they care enough about how I think they’d give cash. Or no gifts at all, because the concept of “I have to give a gift for …” Just makes me accumulate more things that I won’t use, coz most things I use I buy.

I do appreciate greatly when someone asks what I want and I can give them a list of things that need at the moment, or something I’d like to have bit feels like too much money to spend for the low amount of use I’d get. Buying random things when I can’t think of things has never worked in my favor.

Yup gift cards are like money but with limited use. And sometimes expiration dates.

I think there’s significant portions if it that don’t get used at all, which is free money (profit) to the company. Or maybe they don’t count it as profit because people may use it, idk.

Problem with MS word is you can’t really put vector images in it externally without it being weird. I think that’s why people are used to drawing it in the software.

Wait poppler-utils can do a lot of pdf related things. Haven’t tried rearranging but it has tools for separating pages and uniting them. And pandoc can covert between a lot of document formats. But it doesn’t do it from pdf, can use pdftext, inkscape, graphicsmagick etc based on what you want to extract (text, vector graphics, raster graphics) etc.

Didn’t even know about the org, but that’s the QR scanner I have been using.

Many people accept ad, or online website to do simple things like QR code, file conversion etc way too easily.

It’s easier to assume everyone online is a guy and still use gender neutral pronouns though. I think it’s also a language problem that people weren’t really used to using gender neutral pronouns in general so they resist it. I wonder if the problem is more pronounced in languages where everything has to be gendered.

People don’t even check the name of the person they are replying to. From the signature or from the account itself. And just write whatever they come up with. So I don’t really expect anything from them :(

The point I understood was that our individual changes aren’t going to be significant because the companies contribute a lot to climate change. And we should focus on making them change their policies and processes to actually do something about climate change.

Laughs at opening PDF in a text editor and manually reading/editing things. (It was a bit complicated problem that made me do these things and don’t recommend it)

Yup, when I heard about it it was really weird. And when I said I won’t let my children do that, I learn they’d be ostracized not only by peers but by teachers as well. And considering there’ll bullying in schools and teachers don’t do much. It doesn’t seem like a good place to send your children. (And there’s shooting)

It’s actually true because in my laptop I feel powerful, I have so many things to do and the choices. In my phone I’m at the mercy of apps and algorithms.

It was there since a long time. People coming to US are warned by foreign organizations about the port checking the contents of their phone, text, photos, apps etc. It just didn’t happen as often as it does now.

The design seems to be to prevent a single person going rogue and doing whatever. Not designed for when someone has won elections and start damaging the country.

All the nonsense of “Republic is not a democracy because democracy is mob rule and not good for minorities” seems to no longer work.

I’d say it’s same as flying. If people can supernaturally teleport then it applies. But if they need a parge machines/technologies for teleportation then it’s the same as airports, you have to go through them.

If that’s the reason why are you doing it in summer?

If you say protection from sun, how about warm cloudy day?

You can just remove anything marked nsfw through the filter. It works for all instances

I think that might also be because of boredom. When there is nothing else to do people tend to do that.

For example, in a place I know they were struggling with not having enough electricity for the population. So each day there’d be no electricity for hours and hours. That resulted in a clear population boom after a few years. And went away after the power problem was solved.
