  • Yes, however scientific papers aren’t always linearly formatted PDFs (eg 2-columns), so pdftotext tends to be brittle.

    If you only mean reading a file from a specific selection of text, I’ve never seen something that,

    Okular actually does that, and with Pied I can use nice Piper voices, but the controls are very basic (start at the stop of the page, pause, stop).





  • No, this is the for the Communism-fascism discourse.

    When it comes to Communism-capitalism, my take is that while we are able, correct and valid to pinpoint the crimes of (big-C) Communists, we are steeped in (small-c) capitalist ideology and are completely desensitized to the ongoing systemic crimes of our own system, which are in my opinion graver than anything the (big-C) Communists ever did.


  • Two things are true at once:

    • They did crimes
    • They fought even bigger criminals

    And two things are true at once:

    • Descendants of their innocent victims consider them monsters, and they are correct and valid.
    • Descendants of the even bigger criminals that got “neutralized” hide among the other category, and they are dishonest.

    I don’t know what “valid” means in this context.

    Israel is a valid state that is commiting genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, occupation and other crimes against humanity.

    In a two state solution, one of the two states would be Israel. And it’d better pay reparations.

    In a democratic one state solution with equal rights for all, the future state will be a successor to all of present day Israel’s debts, infrastructure, institutions, etc, in the way post-apartheid South Africa is a legal continuation of apartheid South Africa.

    Basically, the possible justice-oriented solutions are based on the “validity” of Israel. So, when you’re saying it’s invalid, what do you mean?
