  • Honestly there are so many ways pdfs can hold unique information that retaining the same format is probably not going to work.

    The 2 options I suggest are . . .

    1. Use a tool to extra the text into a plain text fromat then paste it into word along with screen shots of any images you need.
    2. You could try converting each page to a JPG image using something like Gimp. You could then desaturate it or convert it to pure black and white so it reveals any hidden text which you can paint over. If you want the images in colour just crop them out from the original file and paste into the new b&w copy. This is a crap description but hopefully it makes the point.

  • There needs to be some sort of EU directive that once a hardware device sells enough units they MUST provide the equivalent software features and functions available on windows for Linux, and not just a plain driver with no config options.

    Imagine being able to buy hardware knowing you can configure it in Linux without relying on some unsupported thing made by the community.









  • Just from an environmental standpoint anything that reduces the expansion of AI farms is desirable.

    Giving LLMs a free pass on abusing copyright and fair use rules is such a double standard. YouTubers who use a snippet of music get the earnings from their video stolen by rights trolls.

    For me, the dream is every AI result coming with a citation list showing what sources were used.
