Paris, Texas. Yeah, from the movie.

Several options:

• Master PDF Editor, version 4 is free (and in AUR);
• PDF Arranger, good for bulk edits;
• jPdfTweak, a veritable swiss knife of PDF editing;
• jPDFBookmarks, the best for editing bookmarks;
• Briss, for bulk cutting PDFs;
• Krop, also for cutting, but less flexible.

Well, he gave two of them away.

Maybe you'll like it more under this new guise: I named my cat Goofyball. But since Linnaeus named the species Felis catus, you remind me that my cat's name should ackchyually be Felis catus/Goofyball. To which I reply, very appropriately, 'it's MY cat'. So Goofyball it is.

Understand now the authority argument? Authority in the sense of authorial, having an author.

I've been using it for more than 20 years, but I still love when someone pulls the GNU/Linux card.

To me it feels like reading an old plaque in Latin. It reminds me of an important past that shouldn't be forgotten.

I always read out loud. Always. And I do most of my readings while walking. So I imagine hearing me waking around taking to myself make other people think 'wtf?'.

Having opinions about other peoples gender, sexual orientation, private matters. Also legislating about that.

It's THAT good.

I'm really enjoying Lemmy so far. I've posted more here in one and a half months than in 16+ years on ~~reddit~~ astroturfbay. Why?

Because here feels like friendly neighbourhood square where people actually care to listen to each other. Whatever happens here feels way more organic and people-oriented than elsewhere. No algos dictating agendas just because more engagement=more profit.

So yeah, I really like this place.

U not name. U is sound.

Since person was learning Vietnamese, person noticed Vietnamese have one letter words. One word person liked was Ô, umbrella. Saying Ô reminded person of monkey making sound.

Person thought about simplest sounds monkeys make. U in person mother language sounds oo. U is simple, basic monkey sound. Oo-oo, aa-aa. Person being monkey, person thought U good name. Reminded person of person's past and person connection to nature. So person decided to be U.

U then thought of past people. Past people were simply known as person OF place person came. Examples: Leonardo DA (of) Vinci, René DES (of) Cartes. U is from Recife. Thus U de (of) Recife.

Any history book will be filled with such stories. Depending on the outlook, I'd say all history is like that.

Take any one event. Let's pick any decisive moment in history. Say, the battle of Salamis. Now flip it to the side of the Persians and you have the kind of blunder you're looking for.

How? I'm asking in behalf of a friend.
