I need local font support far, far more often than I need collaborative editing. Plus, call me old, but I don’t like storing everything on a server in Virginia for Google to read.

Do you have a school computer lab you can use? If the school truly requires MS Office and gives you a copy, they will have no sympathy for not using it.
In other news, snow is cold and wet.
American credit unions are not insured by the FDIC and won’t appear there. They are insured by the NCUA.
Today I’d rather play F-Zero because its controls are more responsive, but there’s more to do in Super Mario Kart.
It’s been a long time since I thought about Tenchi Muyo.
The Magic of Scheherazade showed us that mixing turn-based and action RPG battles is harder than it sounds, so I’m a little worried about the balance here.
Why don’t they advertise these things? Can they be bothered to list all the formats they support somewhere?
The even more efficient example was Mega Man 3. The standard rip format for NES music is far more efficient but also far more complex, requiring specialized skills to rip instead of a copy of ZSNES and a fast finger on the F1 button.
Edit: the standard rip format for NES music is NSF, but an expanded version NSFe is better if you can get it because it supports metadata like song names and lengths.
Everything filed under “Chiptune”, excluding the AT3 and MAB files which are effectively general purpose music formats, comes to 1.14 GB for 4211 items totaling 158:50:29. There are a lot of duplicates in there, because for a lot of these items it’s more trouble to hunt down a replacement copy than it is to store a backup.
The catch, of course, is that it’s all retro videogame music from bleep to bloop.
Those are SPC files, and that particular example was one rip of Final Fantasy VI (III)'s soundtrack.
Unfortunately, it only handles music embedded in Super Famicom/Super Nintendo games. To convert your own music to SPC, you’d have to rewrite it for the SNES sound chip.
Chiptune formats for retro videogame music can be very efficient. Just picking two with particularly good music, I have a 21 KB (0.02 MB) file storing 28:30 of music and 4.72 MB of files storing 1:54:48 of music, both at source quality.
The catch is that they are designed exclusively to rip chiptunes from retro videogames as close as the format designers and player coders could manage to the original. So even the oversized ones like the 4.72 MB of files extracted from a 3 MB game are going to be far smaller than a general use format like opus. But you can’t encode your own music in the format without going to massive effort to code it like you would an authentic chiptune, and you’re unlikely to like the results.
Ten chiptune formats, two other videogame music formats (.at3 and .mab), WMA, IT, AAC, MP2, and MIDI.
Because hard drives aren’t getting any bigger lately and I don’t want to multiply the size of my videogame music collection by ten?
Strawberry doesn’t support about a dozen audio formats I use, so until it’s got wider support I have to pass.
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.
This looks like a major update to a well-established improvement hack. A retranslation with ability name changes, more detailed maps, and that Bishop softlock bug should be long stomped.
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.
The mixture is my point. Some things are better. Some things are worse. I specified for women because the backlash against woke has already hurt women badly.
Iosevka fits very well with East Asian characters, if you need those.
I find it narrower than I like otherwise, but I need Japanese characters often enough that I put up with it for my terminal.
