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.

Ich suche fundierte #Studien, Artikel, Beiträge usw., warum #Kernkraftwerke – inklusive #SMR und andere "Zukunftskonzepte" – keine realistische Option für die #Zukunft sind.
Warum sie nicht rentabel betrieben werden können, warum sie wirtschaftlich und/oder praktisch scheitern.

Super wären auch peer-reviewte Papers.

Danke euch!

"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.]

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.
