Tiff is for science. Like for actual values that need more than 0-255 level of precision.

For example we use Tiff (or GeoTiff because it has coordinates) for storing elevation, temperature, slope, etc variables of an area for processing. It can also have a lot of bands not just RGB.

For example, satellites record RGB, infrared 1, infrared 2, and many other bands and even if we can’t see them it’s useful to get that information for processing. That helps for example to recognize river from forest even if both look green to our eyes.

Repeat after me:

JPEG is for photos, PNG is for graphics.

Arch also kinda allows that if you write custom PKGBUILD file. It’s easy to write for simple stuffs that are based on make/cargo etc.

It’s time consuming if some program gives you 100s of lines of code in bash script to install their program though.

Edit:

Another disadvantage of building from source is dependency management. You might accidentally uninstall some dependencies, the standard library versions might change and break your packages, etc.

Using package manager mitigates that.

Extensions are just suggestions to your OS on how to open the files.

I use it to know the filetype for binary files, or what is the purpose/format of the text inside is for text files. But you can just save anything as anything. You can open PDF in text editor and edit things inside too if you know what you’re doing.

I learned English reading so many books that I just pronounced how it’s spelled in my head. Combine that with general non-social tendencies I didn’t really heard or had to say a lot of those words.

I had to spell out words to people because of that. Then I came to US, and now I can’t even spell the words because the alphabets are pronounced differently lol.

Can’t you just keybind the switch to that key? I use arch and I have keyboard layout switch between three languages (one is Japanese which might have similar tech/typing style), and the program I use (ibus anthy) allows me to define my keybind.

That’s the obvious one. But you can also add data to images by adding tiny values to the pixels, it’ll still look the same to us (same as printer tiny dots).

I don’t know if phones actually do this. Just saying it’s possible.

But many uploading sites optimize the images, so it’ll be gone on reshare, but they could get it on first upload.

Wait, are there repo that just has dating info? You just make PR for your profile. Honestly with GitHub free pages we could definitely do that lol

Then you’re just running bash scripts with bash. You’re not running bash scripts with fish.

The android auto equivalent for cars would be something I’d be interested in, that’s the only reason I had to reenable google on my phone. I don’t see any open source software that do it.

You can’t use phone calls or texting when your family lives in the other side of the globe. Many parents are not tech savvy for them to be able to use something else if you aren’t there to set it up. Lot’s of them got into Facebook, and their friends are there, and we need to be there for them to reach us. It’s the network effect.

Also for many parents, internet = Facebook. They don’t even use emails, or any other services for that matter, maybe news websites that are bookmarked in their browser years ago by their children.

Internet looks very different without it.

I mean there’s the EWMM, emacs based windows manager. So it can absolutely do anything.

But doing something because you can, vs because it’s useful is different. I like emacs fo text edit. I open images and pdf in the process of writing documents but that’s about it.

Emacs for everything…

/jk I mean everything text.

Thank you.

In this case installing ecm-tools (I use arch) didn’t fix it. That was the first thing I tried before making an issue.

It needed extra packages for cmake (refer to the issue for details)

Idk why all on screen keyboard come without tab key in plasma. I have a laptop while in a tablet mode I can’t use terminal at all because there’s no tab key.

Edit: issue made and fixed https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-keyboard/-/issues/12

Looks like I need kde-gitlab account fpr making issues.

I couldn’t compile it,

cmake …

People copying gpt commands into terminal is bound to be fked by the troll commands, right? Please.

I don’t know how comfortable you are writing your own, but pdf saves the components with coordinates, bounding box etc so you should be able to automate it with a small script that reads pdf components directly.

Also try qpdf to convert pdf into qdf format, then you can open it in a text editor, find the element you want to remove. Look at examples of few pages, find the pattern and do regex replace. Make sure to keep a copy and check the diff before accepting it.

Can’t see instructions on how to use it, do I need to do anything non trivial on my phone? Should I test it on an old phone?
