I'm talking about something else

Yes. Thank you Thats the phrase I was looking for to describe them.

Get a software that lets you edit, not just annotate, the text and remove it.

Yeah, some redaction tools simulate a marker and its not fully opaque. Some add a black rectangle object over top, and if you load into libredraw you can delete the rectangles and see the text underneath. Best way is image capture and coallate back into a PDF

Cut out the sections to be censored I think. Stuff might show up under high contrast.

Redacting by removing the text in place and putting black blocks isn't always enough either. Variable size fonts (as opposed to monospaced font) will leave gaps that can be potentially guessed by probabilities so that is something to take under consideration. You'll want to randomize the text to remove before you remove it and black it out.

Most surefire way would be to turn the pages into images, paint over the images and then stitch the images together as a new PDF. The low tech version would be to print them out, put something that's fully opaque over the undesirable sections and scan them back in.

Donations. See the instance sidebar for details.

They have a post on their finances here, after they set up a non profit called Fedi-Hosting Foundation. The current monthly cost is about €1950. And as for donations to cover that, this was said:

The donations on the various platforms have gone down from 2000 in January to around 1300 EUR/mo the last 3 months. As you can see, this is not enough for the running costs. Also, we had some unexpected extra costs (over 1000,–) when we had to pay taxes for the foundation (strange, for a non-profit..). I'll see if we can get an accountant to check this, but also accountants are costly.

So it may be worth considering support if you are a prolific user of the .world instance.

Also try looking for "straight last" shoes, OP

Maybe. It has been a longass time since I looked up the trivia.

... wat about them

Yeah, not sure what it would be. The inner mold for the shape is called a "last", so there are typically two lasts, one for left and one for right. So you might try footware made with single last or symmetric last.

That material is elastic, so it won't be fully waterproof. My blundstone Chelsea boots also have similar elastic, and I've never had an issue with water seeping in, however I live in Saskatchewan, which has a dryer climate than Toronto, so I'm not sure how well my experience would compare to your own.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Thougj something I do worry about are the ankles of this model. Cause the oiled leather is obviously waterproof but that material at the ankles... They never state if that particilar material is waterproof or not. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Thanks for the idea . thats what I like about this paeticular model, that the soles are so big and flat that you dont even have a distinct left foot or right foot its just ...boot 1 and boot 2.... No tapering... so wide and open.

Ill try to fimd what word describes footwear that doesnt have a left footr or right foot

Ya I also mostly walk on concrete but the thing that gets me is the muddy spots which toronto parks have an unusual amount of, and oddly enough my shoes are so bad nowdays that if I walk on the dew that grasses and plants produce from cellular respiration my feet STILL get wet even with that little amount of water....

So walking anywhere after or during a rain or snowfall is out of the question for me. And walking at night means I have to avoid anywhere that has any grass or plants.

modernity and religion

You can have any color white you want.

20k steps a day was more than a few KM a day :p
But I was walking on smooth ish concrete and tile, probably different with outside walking.

What colour you should paint your kitchen. I did a bit of a poll and the results were staggering!

Nothing magically bad happens when you tell people they are doing a good job a little too often.

bro I walk 20 KM every week on average

You must do a lot of walking. I used to work retail walking over 20k steps a day on concrete and never didn't wear out the top of the shoe with tread left 😝
Here's hoping this is my first one :D
They also have a partner shop in the USA that can do retreads for whatever those shoes are.

Lol they took 900 dolars from me when I returned 3 models of shoes from them. And lem even ssaid that when it comes to international shoe orders if you dont get refunded you cant appeal THEIR decisions no matter what you do....so... fuck em.
