Switched from Gnome Evice (default documentviewer for pdf) to Gnome Papers and really impressed.
Was annoyed by some minor Evince bugs which over time motivated enough to look for something else. Turned out Paper is actively developed and even has: Dark Mode.
Although Dark Mode is expected everywhere nowadays, few PDF viewers have it. On Windows I only found one, unmaintened.
Documentation Crunch Time
Remember back in the ’80s when all of those cold war movies showed the bad guys, the commies, stopping their poor oppressed citizens on the street and asking to see their papers? Remember how evil that felt? The poor saps having to cough up their legal documentation to the secret police at a moment’s notice?
I wonder why I have been thinking of that lately.
So a couple of weeks ago my US passport expired. My state drivers license is going to expire soon as well, and when I renew it I have to get the new federal “Real ID” because we live in a police state now. Unfortunately you need to have an appointment to setup the Real ID and a month ago when I booked one the best date I could get was after my license expires.
The good news is, my passport renewal went off without a hitch and I got it done WAY faster than I expected so I can use my new passport in the Real ID process. That’s cool. I wonder if I can renew my state drivers license first and then replace it a short time later with the federal document. I am guessing I would have to pay twice if I did that and I’ll be damned if I am going to give that tariffing fucker a penny more than I have to. Not that I am cynical about the collapse of my former country or anything. You know how it is.
Papers, please. Fucking authoritarian dictatorship fascist fucking fuckers.
In the beautiful world of collaboration, I leave on holidays for 10 days, and mostly every project or task I was working on got moved forward considerably by others, with barely nothing being blocked on me. Thank you everybody 
“Papers! Where are your papers?”
Remember, when #travelling on a #train in #America, the #Gestapo might demand to see your #papers.

Eat the Rich?
Politische Bildung im Kapitalismus:
Transformativ – Disruptiv – Asymmetrisch
Zum Einreichen eines Vortrags mailen Sie bitte einen Abstract (ca. 2.500 Zeichen inkl. Leerzeichen; zum Einreichen eines Posters ca. 2.000 Zeichen) bis zum 01.06.2025!
Die UB der @tu_muenchen hat den Softwarevergleich #Literaturverwaltung aktualisiert. Sehr hilfreich, wenn man sich einen Überblick über die Funktionen von #Zotero, #Citavi, #Mendeley, #EndNote, #JabRef, #Papers und #Paperfile verschaffen möchte: https://mediatum.ub.tum.de/1316333
"I took much pains in sorting and folding of papers."
I agree so very very much, Sam. The folding part is often overlooked. A paper that is being put to use must be folded. It's a mark of recognition and appropriation. The unfolded paper is alien, the folded paper is trusted.
[The truth, I'm not sarky.]
@SrRochardBunson scratch that: this makes it impossible to write any #papers re: #SocialStudies, #Psychology, #Medicine or basocally anything involving #humans and not #engineering and even there it'll be had to avoid said vocabulary!
For those who like #papers, here’s the #deepseek one:

Reading this is such a joy. There is real dedication in optimizing the training data and method to yield maximum output performance. This is real technological innovation.
Silicon Valley on the other hand has had their thought corrupted by economic & political power. When you’re big you start to order people around and they start being scared of being critical of you. Being big ends up being the only target.
