how on earth do they load a cloudflare challenge into the javascript renderer of a PDF. i hate the modern internet, just give me static information ffs

and then there is dark reader [fig2] claiming i am currently on a PDF and thus cannot modify the page to being more accessible for me and my bad eyes. meanwhile it displays a cloudflare challenge that invades my privacy and blocks me due to my spoofed user agent

fuck every single whitepaper publication portal that hides behind cloudflare, sciencedirect.com specifically

what in the name of fuck is this vape agdkacskdhshdksus

sorry gals, patriarchy has been lying to you. THIS is what true femininity looks like

DOS MODE AND DOS 6.X WARNING
Note that all this is deprecated. You don’t have to care about things like geometry and cylinders on modern operating systems. If you
really want DOS-compatible partitioning then you have to enable DOS mode and cylinder units by using the '-c=dos -u=cylinders' fdisk
command-line options.

... did people in the past partition their disks with circular geometry?? what???

@nprofile1q... woahh

@nprofile1q... i would do anything for an EUV suit and an ASML photolithography machine so i can make my own RISC-V ASICs but i'm poor and too mentally ill to reasonably acquire one without money :(

i hate how almost everyone gave up on understanding technology or doing things in general, and then call me insane when i try to motivate them by throwing myself at it at full speed to show them that learning things the hard way is still possible

friend: "she probably just thinks you're scary"
me: "huh, why does she say hi to me at every event then"
friend: "well she's gay and you're the cool kind of scary"

i'll take that as a compliment
