What do you think is causing the failures? How are you seeing the fact that it's failing?

Oh shit, there's apparently a mod that actually brings the old generation back to newer versions.

I honestly didn't notice it when they removed the old terrain. But now that I've seen it again, I miss it. I remember playing pocket edition in the old days with the crazy cliffs and overhangs. It was better that way.

I'm out of the loop. What is RHEL's change? Is it something controversial that they did?

If the books aren't too obscure, you might just be able to find an EPUB of them online. It's sort of a moral grey-area, but considering you already own the books I assume, you can very likely find them here.

I don't know how you're going to get a hold of the text from the images. But I do know that if you're trying to create a book file, PDFs are not the answer. EPUBs are far better, and an open standard. I recommend creating them using the Calibre EPUB editor.

The reason EPUBs are better is because they were designed specifically for books. They're reflowable (meaning the pages aren't fixed-size, and therefore can be read on devices of all sizes), whereas PDFs have fixed content, and are very difficult to read on small things like phones and e-readers, requiring zooming just to see the text. Also, EPUBs aren't very difficult to create. You just have to know how XML works. It's basically just a zipped directory containing markup files.

Nyan cat will always be special to me.

Because the healthcare industry makes money. A shitload of money. Why would they "fix" that? The problem is the fact that it is an industry.

Gotta be careful doing this. It gives them more ammunition behind the vitriol of transgender people.

Not just shit controlled by a CEO, literally anything for-profit. For-profit software does not care about your experience. It cares about gouging as much money as it can from you. Open source software, the antithesis, is made for and by the people. It's there to be as useful and enjoyable as possible. Open source software has nothing to gain from forcing you to jump through hoops, unlike for-profit software. They put the hoops in place, then force you to pay them to fix the problem they deliberately caused.

And it's not like open software can't make money. Donations have shown time and time again to be enough for software and servers good enough to deserve them. See lichess.org for a wonderful example of an open platform that even denounces advertising openly, and yet survives just fine on donations. The problem is the for-profit income model.

This looks cute. I like your artstyle.

I don't think this post is against people worshiping their gods, but against the corporate business that many religions have become.
