Every single screenshot of Arabic in the README is malformed, the letters are squished together and not connected.

The number one priority was for him to spread the information as fast as possible to as many people as possible. Given the limited bandwidth, limited electricity, limited availability for physical storage devices, and limited everything, do you really think that backing up his data was his priority? Have some empathy...

Are you calling a man that was living under a g*nocide documenting the horrific war crimes an idiot because he didn't back up his data, do you hear yourself??

Love this, an option to export the note as a txt file would be amazing.

I will never accept colonialism in whatever way, shape, or form.

The amount of pro-colonial sentiment in the thread here is baffling. The people that were colonized and stolen from have the right to do whatever they want with these artifacts, even if you believe they may not have the means, or will sell them to private collectors.

There is no benefit other than the profit made by the companies manufacturing this "aid", payed for by the American taxpayer via the US congress and government.

Had the same issue when I hired a software developer intern to train. I didn't wait one extra minute to tell them about the issue after I saw the bathroom, and discussed with them why this was not acceptable at all. They kinda changed their habit, but I eventually let them go due to incompetency reasons.

Ironically, the laborers that have had their passports taken away from them during the construction of this tournament aren't allowed to make "the journey" back to their homes.
