I can’t play this game for plural people because I don’t meet the… system requirements

You can see for yourself using exiftool.
To remove all of the top-level metadata, you can use exiftool and qpdf:

exiftool -all:all= <path.pdf> -o <output1.pdf>
qpdf --linearize <output1.pdf> <output2.pdf>

To remove *all* metadata, you can use dangerzone or mat2

More fun publisher surveillance:
Elsevier embeds a hash in the PDF metadata that is *unique for each time a PDF is downloaded*, this is a diff between metadata from two of the same paper. Combined with access timestamps, they can uniquely identify the source of any shared PDFs.

Happy Portugal day, everyone!

2. figuring out a really stupid way to solve a problem

Finally, I have defeated my own website and successfully posted something.

For your amusement, I humbly present: what the hell is PID 0?

HOPEFULLY FINAL EDITION: I've got login/fill split, and I added an ENHANCE button. originally it was going to say "INV. COLOR" but my algorithm is slightly more complicated, thus... "enhance"

my fellow germericans… if elected as your bundespräsident, i will make db use ai technology to accurately predict in advance when your train will be delayed, so you can get out of bed an hour later. together, we'll make germany late agai— i mean early

‪one of my favourite parts of the deutsche bahn experience (trademark protected in germany) is when your train is delayed by 30 minutes because the track is blocked, and 30 minutes will come and go without any train, and without an updated time, so you panic thinking you missed it‬
