send again in pdf. So I have the content now and can progress. But the pdf is not identical to the pub, not same title, so I guess the sender for any reason had another file with same content but not exported from pub. I am curious how the pub-file looks in his sw, and why I cannot see it. Well, I will not struggle and spend time further but instead focus on my mission to read the content I do have in pdf. But it is irritating with non-open, proprietory, formats.

So I got a Microsoft Publisher file (.pub) today that I need to view (but not edit). It is a proprietory format and I do not have MS Publisher. However, both LibreOffice draw and Scribus can read .pub (I think reverse engineering had made it possible). However my document only shows two title rows of text, sheet background colour and the frame where the title is and rest of frame is empty - same result in Libre and Scribus. Open i text editor, tells it is Punlisher 3.0. I got the sender to 1/2

Jag läser att Gunilla Persson, en sångerska som medverkade på melodifestvalen i helgen, har skulder hos Kronofogden på drygt 600 kkr. Hon hade visst dyra skor, väskor, smycken och kläder med sig. Så Kronofogden utmätte en mängd saker värde typ 100 kkr som de nu ska sälja på auktion. Så kan det gå.

Sketans alla filformat. Särskilt stängda. Idag var det dags igen. Jag fick en fil i Microsoft Publisher-formatet .pub. LibreOffice Draw kan hantera .pub, men av någon anledning kunde jag bara se dokumentets titeltext, bakgrundsfärg och ramen, men inte själva viktiga innehållet jag skulle läsa... Nu löstes det med att skaparen fick skicka i pdf. Men det är så krabbigt... inget nytt under solen de senaste årtiondena. Men öppna format såsom Open document-format är härligt.

Ett problem med IT-attacken mot Tietoevry häromveckan är att flera av de drabbade som hade IT-tjänster från Tieotoevry fick sina säkerhetskopior drabbade och förstörda i attacken.

Hur är din strategi för backuper för digitala saker som du inte vill eller skulle få stora bekymmer för om originalfilen försvinner? Du kanske inte har något viktigt som du bara sparar digitalt?

Hacker Public Radio episode 4055 talked about three softwares that cheats AI from stealing graphical content when AI trawling internet for information. Like that I as human will see the cat photo as a cat photo, but the AI will see it as a dog. So when we ask AI to make a cat photo a dog will appear... hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4

SVT Agenda ikväll tog bl a upp ukrainska ungdomars inställning till att gå till krigsfronten. En del var tveksamma till att göra det. Jag har full förståelse för det. I samband med den frågan hade det varit intressant att också höra hur de skulle se på om Ukraina skulle bli en del av Ryssland.

I can see clearly now

Great music in my humble opinion. I have five of their albums on CD.

Finland had, in my understanding, two good candidates running for president in their 2nd round of the election. It was a close call. The winner visited the party of the competitor on his way to his own campaign party. US is not Finland.

@zaivala DeBodhi, is that developed independently or by the Bodhi team? They don't have a website, do they? Nice weekend!
