“Plantations” has nothing but positive connotations.

I think it’d be really interesting to figure out what YouTube’s motives were and doing this. No doubt it had something to do with increasing profits somehow.

Hahahhaha. Definitely not!

You have me laughing out loud in public.

Thanks

Deeply disturbing and a great read. This author is a good person for exploring this so I don’t ever have to.

My band teacher had a chopan lizst for groceries.

The puns are as inescapable as piccolos are difficult to tune.

I don’t think that it’s it’s just that they would spout platitudes I think they would probably recognize that there’s treaties that were part of that prevent us from weaponizing space…

Cool. Black mirror tech is coming along nicely.

Nothing wrong with that. If it ain’t baroque, don’t fix it.

I’ll see myself out.👋

Aww shucks. Thanks!

You’re welcome. Here’s the Wikipedia donation page. They did the work, I just googled.

That’s helpful. I see what you’re looking for now. Normally if say produce a copy, edit that. Ofc, giving this is education, that’s probably copyrighted isn’t it?

Incidentally it looks like by default Okular saves annotations in an external XML file. I have not verified this though.

You might look at Xournal++ also.

I was definitely confused before. I’d only used it for form completion and not annotation which apparently works differently.

Best of luck Internet friend and thanks for the clarification!

If you’re adding anything and it stays, you’re directly editing the file unless you save as. To that extent, your request confuses me.

Check out Okular. FOSS, allows annotations, can save as, I think.

The form filling and annotation options are what you’re looking for in it. They’re a little kludgy, but definitely workable.

It’s gone down a ways. It’s kinda bad.

Who’s the snowflake now, amirite?

Currently 25 states require it. Incidentally 23 of to lowest 25 states allow child marriage. Funny isn’t it?

Yep. Because they can’t do it with the law, they’re doing it with payment processing. Maybe crypto will be the answer, gods help us.

Hmm are you implying collective actions are in order?

I cancelled prime quite a while back and I’ll use the free month they offer and immediately cancel and also get it for the month of November to make life a little easier, and again, I’ll cancel it immediately.

It just isn’t worth it!

I came here to say obviously it’s enshitification, only to find that the article is actually written by the Corey Doctorow. Love that guy.
