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.

Undertale is the obvious suggestion, although it's more deconstructive than Earthbound.

Did LO discontinue distribution via torrent?

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

Is gentoo Linux really worth it? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

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

Discord is laying off 17 percent of employees in c/technology@lemmy.world

Leave a bad review. I did get halfway back.

New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] Shihali@sh.itjust.works 12 points 8 months ago

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.

[Resolved] Why does the font on Lemmy.world look like an eyesore? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] Shihali@sh.itjust.works 50 points 8 months ago

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.
