Right there with you

You know damn well Republicans weren’t protesting, they tried to take the capitol and tried to kill politicians including Pence.

Ah yes, I feel I can no longer peacefully protest so I think I’ll just standby and do nothing so a guy who thinks protesters should be shot or deported can take the reins. That’ll show ‘em!

“I got tired of the system so I decided to let it burn down and take the lives of millions with it”

See Ukraine

See Gaza

See promises of mass deportation

But yes, you’re justified in your non participation because you didn’t actively vote for him, you just enabled his people to hand the control to a madman because you got tired of trying.

Sadly it wasn’t exactly wholly undemocratic. It wasn’t even what you could call close. There were attempts voter suppression and intimidation, but in the end voter apathy won out. I don’t think there’s anything dumber than choosing not to vote in such an important election, but that choice in itself was a vote.

I feel like the quote has gone over your head just a tad. The joke/quote is saying as time progresses people will continue to vote against their own best interest and eventually elect someone as moronic as the common people. And well here we are. It’s been a long time in coming yes, we’ve gone through a number of presidents who progressively did less and less in the interests of the people till we got here and elected the absolute worst person with only self interest at heart.

Implies? It’s not exactly very subtle about it. The joke is how unfortunately prophetic it is.

I don’t know what to tell you dude. A certified or digitally can’t/wont be read by OCR. A digitally signed document legally certifies that the document has not been modified. PDF editors such as Bluebeam or Adobe will not or cannot process a certified or digitally signed document.

I’m not sure if that limitation is due to the process by which the document is certified or if it is a feature of software conforming for legality reasons. I’m not going to research this for OP, I’m just providing a simple and best accurate answer.

Maybe current AI has better abilities to process document text? I’m not sure, maybe. But you’d think this would be a shared concern with groups wanting to protect documents for the same reason and therefore encryption would match.

If it’s just the legality of it stopping a company from providing the feature, you would think most companies would want to keep out of legal hot water and would then disallow OCR processing. In this case sure there could be software that doesn’t conform, but for most application purposes I don’t think you’d have to worry too much.

OCR cannot scan documents that have been certified or digitally signed.

Note that once you certify a document it can no longer be edited, combined with another PDF, or have pages inserted or extracted.

Once a PDF has been digitally signed it is locked and you can no longer add pages, delete pages, or read it via OCR.

Idk, I doubt the police are just going to arrest themselves…

No worries. The summary made it sound more sensational and like it was unidentifiable. I mean that’s the way the article was written but still the summary seemed incomplete or misleading without that line.

Not really a lemmy thing, just how it read.

Thanks for posting this since OP didn’t in his summary.

Why did the preview have to end in the middle of a story?? Damnit.
