    Ive been using utc personally for over a year and i use it in context of vrchat since it yields one less necessary conversion to other people’s timezones because only the offset is needed (as opposed to memorizing both offsets, which is much harder because of that nasty nasty daylight savings and its weird anomalies) but they still hate it and tell me to use a “normal” timezone lol. I had gotten 1 person to switch. And she since switched back. Shit don’t work in practicality but I’m still gonna use it out of stubbornness









  • Upvotes and downvotes are only relevant to the post and not the user now, since karma (thankfully) isn’t a thing. It even further encourages using downvotes as disagree buttons, since it doesn’t hurt the poster. But yeah, it also makes sense to downvote irrelevant posts instead. The problem is that there are only two buttons.










  • I don’t know how you’re going to get a hold of the text from the images. But I do know that if you’re trying to create a book file, PDFs are not the answer. EPUBs are far better, and an open standard. I recommend creating them using the Calibre EPUB editor.

    The reason EPUBs are better is because they were designed specifically for books. They’re reflowable (meaning the pages aren’t fixed-size, and therefore can be read on devices of all sizes), whereas PDFs have fixed content, and are very difficult to read on small things like phones and e-readers, requiring zooming just to see the text. Also, EPUBs aren’t very difficult to create. You just have to know how XML works. It’s basically just a zipped directory containing markup files.
