i wish everybody would just use ePUB already

PDF is a horrible format and everybody should stop using it

the reason that converting a PDF into basically any other format (that isn't PDF-like) is hell is because of things inherent to PDF's design

no tool out there will reliably create good outputs, there are only shitty heuristics which work sometimes

calibre won't do shit if you're trying to handle a PDF with equations in it

as somebody who has had to deal with trying to convert textbook PDFs to ePUB, it is literal hell

i ended up just scraping the textbook's online version and building an ePUB based on that, because that was the much easier route (albeit still requiring >400 LoC)

No, it’s Trump’s fault, and the fault of his army of Nazi bigots, who explicitly build their politics around tormenting the weak for fun. Trans people were simply the most vulnerable target. After they’re gone any of you might be next. None of this repulsive apologia, fight back

What Trump and the GOP are doing right now is the national economic equivalent of seppuku, and that fact, for some unknowable reason, has not sunk in with institutional investors and normal people yet.

Holy shit I assumed this was more NFTs but it’s specifically a *fungible* asset meaning he’s selling his own crypto coin. On top of that, it has a crazy fucking disclaimer and all the hallmarks of a fucking rugpull. This is fucking nuts.

A heads up for new bluesky users, and this is something the devs REALLY should make clearer during the onboarding process: whenever you post a nude on this app it goes up on a big screen at a baseball game

a singlet who makes herself plural so even when she's all alone she's not alone

she's so lonely, she's so lonely. she has no god, she has no headmates. she has no one to talk to while she lays in her bed at night

USING DATING APPS
β€’ exhausting & boring
β€’ you get too many replies or no replies at all

HANGING OUT WITH RACCOONS YOU MET IN AN ALLEY
β€’ exciting & fun
β€’ they won't mind if you complain about your ex
β€’ they'll teach you to hotwire cars
