I never got near the actual printshop (usually done abroad to cut costs), but yeah. You pick up stuff all along the production chain.
Especially when the printer offers to do some small change in the print files for "a modest added fee"... No thanks, tell me what you need and I'll fix it myself!
"All em dashes in this 200 page book have somehow been replaced with hyphens? 😨 Give me ten minutes!" 😂
Probably a regional phrase. I'm in Scandinavia, English terms get absorbed and reappropriated into the language(s). Never considered that wasn't the original usage.
But yeah, I designed, laid out, and did prepress on a few periodical art magazines here. I was the whole graphics department 😉
Rom is such an undervalued player in that one. May Day will always be Rom Day for me:
I was just posting elsewhere that I could probably settle for street sweeping.
Thirty years creative work experience, eight years academic — fuck it. If people want "AI" generated bullshit, I'm not bothered putting anymore original work out there.
Well, there goes my academic career.
It's on my mobile keyboard as an alt option for the hyphen. And yes, I use keyboard shortcuts on my computer. Worked as a layouter for print in years. You learn to appreciate a good em dash.
being competent at writing now makes me get accusations of using ["AI"]
Long time em dash user over here, feeling your pain 😞
Um, although I don't want to cast aspersions based on my own ignorance — who the hell even is Anthony Martino? Is this his first shot at actually making money off his music, by suing a nonprofit?
I will say I did the most basic research into the guy, and according to his wikipedia entry his songs have been featured in some TV shows. Wikipedia also notes that "It is proposed that this article be deleted because of the following concern:lack of notability. Tony seems to have created pages for himself and related projects", so draw your own conclusions.
Agreed, Nextcloud has gone from a lean little personal cloud to a hulking enterprise hub.
If you're after something that'll just sync your files between devices, try Syncthing. If you need files available online, maybe something like filestash or, like somebody else suggested, SFTPgo.
There are also tiny, lean calendar and contact server apps out there if you decide you need those. After self hosting NC for years I'm really happy spreading out the tasks over dedicated services rather than having all my eggs in one basket.
Always, several times a day 🙂
