Trump has a .... Nope, nevermind, I don't care. I don't want to see that, and I'm not even going to ask.

Fun fact, most LED displays will only display a very specific wavelength of light for each primary color, if you can isolate the specific values of red, green, and blue, that the sphere uses in the LEDs in its displays, and get tint/filters for those wavelength ranges, you can effectively "tint" the windows where the sphere would be nearly impossible to see, while almost everything else would be fairly clear.

Almost all other light is broad spectrum, so even a single color item would reflect a much larger range of wavelengths than what the sphere produces, which may make red/green/blue objects less bright through the window, but they will still be observable, while the sphere is basically just black.

Yup. I'm still living paycheque to paycheque.

I'm at a prime age for "midlife crisis" I just need my finances to agree that I can have.

Got a new job last winter, I've gotten two raises since. Maybe I'm moving in the right direction? I hope so. (I'm a bit less than 5% above where I started after 11 months)

I like the new job too. So IDK.

I can imagine.

You should too. You can do it, I believe in you.

I would OCR it myself, but edit the meta data in the file so that the text in the OCR metadata is lorem ipsum.

So any bots that assume that the OCR text is what's on the image in the PDF (and why wouldn't they), it will only read useless junk. Only someone reading the text from the image would "see" it, and only a bot programmed to OCR a file that already has OCR metadata would realize that there's any inconsistency.

I'm not entirely sure how to accomplish that, but I'd figure it out if I was worried about the data being compromised.

Personally, I would simply keep the file in an encrypted container, then I wouldn't worry about what can scan the file since it would be entirely unreadable ciphertext without the correct security key or passphrase.

This works, right up until you introduce PDF compatible software that doesn't give a shit about your rules, of which there's plenty.

You can also print/scan, or even print to PDF to get around such limitations. The original document cannot be altered since that would invalidate the digital signature on the file, but you can create a perfect digital copy, omitting the signature, and modify it however you want.

If online systems that are skimming documents for their contents don't give a shit about what the signature is, and simply take a copy and OCR it to train an AI or amalgamate the information for data harvesting or other purposes.

I get what you're saying and in concept, it should be fine, the problem is that it's a software lock/restriction on a file type that isn't inherently closed source, unknown, nor was the PDF format built to be secure from the ground up. So we're applying security to a system that wasn't built for it.

Doesn't this proposal also make anyone who participates in the production of porn into a criminal?

Is the first Lady going to get arrested for her involvement in the creation of porn?

Dunno what's wrong with your shit, but it looks fine from here.

The average death age of any empire is 250 years.

Tick tock America. You're proving that figure to be correct.

I wanna pet that dog!

How dare you encourage my wife to be an independent person and have her own thoughts!

I'm really hoping Harris wins, and we can make politics boring again. I know that if Trump wins, we'll hear about all the insanity he will put in place for the next four years.

Sure, if he loses, Trump will cry foul, but that doesn't have the same legs as it would if he wins.

I just want Trump to be some washed out TV "celebrity" and politics to be as entertaining as it always is: not very.

I'm not American and all I hear about right now is American politics. Y'all need to figure your shit out.
