You said "That's pretty specific" and gave a definition of "tankie". The reply "Tankie is a pretty specific term" affirms what you said, and because that's the end of the reply implicitly affirms your definition of "tankie". So it does answer your question with "yes".

I don't have the skillset to teach conversational implicatures and inference in English, even my own dialect. So I can't help with all problems like this.

In practice, it's even more specific, because "tankie" wouldn't cover a self-proclaimed leftist who claims that Dr. Francia's dictatorship is a model all states should aspire to. "Tankie" means "self-proclaimed leftist who simps for self-proclaimed Leninist brutal authoritarian states".

There's a real chance that my employer will abruptly ban Chinese-branded phones from their network.

The link goes to the wrong article. I think OP meant to post https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/07/11/libreoffice-24-2-5/ .

P.S. Torrents ~~aren't available yet~~ are now available.

Looks like they put the oversized load on a boat for as long as they could, but have to do the last leg by road.

gImageReader is a graphical front-end to the open-source OCR program Tesseract, so that might be just what you're looking for. The default settings don't add the OCR'd text to the PDF but you can do that.

Did LO discontinue distribution via torrent?

Edit: torrents are now up. Does it always take a day?

Gentoo seems great if you want to experiment with patches to major programs or system libraries. That's what I used it for.

cURL is a very commonly used program to download individual files from the command line and worth installing to have it around in the future.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install curl

The first command tells your package manager to update its list so you ask for the latest version. You can skip it if you've already updated today. The second command tells your package manager to install cURL.

This will happen every now and then, especially when building a package from source. You won't have some common utility that the documentation writer assumed you had, and you will need to find what package provides it and install the package.

From your other responses, this is a system issue not a problem with the website.

Lemmy.world's code has this font list for sans-serif: system-ui,-apple-system,"Segoe UI",Roboto,"Helvetica Neue","Noto Sans","Liberation Sans",Arial,sans-serif,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji","Segoe UI Symbol","Noto Color Emoji"

I'd use the dev tools to check which font is being rendered. I'm on Windows so I get Segoe UI, which I find entirely acceptable.

Even UTF-16 used by Windows isn't fair because it needs twice as much space for hieroglyphs. Won't someone think of the ancient Egyptians?

Seriously, now that most display systems can handle putting accents on letters instead of needing a code point just for á, a new universal encoding would be nice. Purge it of Unicode's precomposed letters, duplicated Chinese characters, and duplicated-in-retrospect letters and you could fit another few alphabets into Plane 0.

But convincing tech companies to make webpages bigger seems difficult.

Firefox supports a font technology for less common scripts, Graphite, that the for-profit-corporate browsers do not. I use one of those scripts once in a great while. So I'm locked in until OpenType has better support.

Replying again after my order arrived. It's heavy in the hand, but feels good for short scribbles. It's a good shape for my small hands and four-finger grip. I'll have to test it for a longer time to be sure, though. Ink capacity with the built-in converter looks very small, so be warned.
