Key players tangle at UNSC at ‘perilous turn’ of US-Israel-Iran conflict
Tensions soar at UN as Iran, allies condemn US military action, while US, Israel reject censure.Al Jazeera
I have a ton of postcards from Japan. As part of my postcard cataloging I've been OCRing the text on the back of the cards (which my postcardbot uses for alt text), but the Japanese cards pose special problems, not the least of which is my unfamiliarity with the language or symbols. Also sometimes the text is vertical and my OCR doesn't deal well with that (I'm using a Javascript version of Tesseract, which I've customized for my particular cataloging process).
So I'm wondering if I can crowdsource validation of the OCRed text on some of these. Consider this an experiment.
This is item 5714. Luckily it's blank, so I can post it without redaction. I've pasted the OCR result below. If you know Japanese and can clean it up, reply with the cleaned up result and I'll use that instead.
Note that the first line is from the center. Also my OCR seems to collapse all space, and inserts a space between each character (should those be removed?) And finally, when I clean up OCRed text in Roman languages I typically delete any line breaks, but since I can't read the language, I don't know if the line breaks here should be removed or not.

We Better Pray That No Unexpected Crisis Hits While Trump Is President

They'll tell you to celebrate freedom — while they strip it away.
They'll hand you a flag and hope you forget:
* Who's being silenced.
* Who's being punished for existing.
* Who's still fighting to be free.
But we remember.
We remember that real patriotism means standing up — not standing by.
This July 4th, we won't be quiet. We won't be polite. We'll be loud, visible, and unignorable.
Because freedom isn't a gift — it's a fight. And we're in it.
✊🏾 Join us. March with us. Make noise.

in reply to ArchEngel • • •I was skeptical of them at first when looking for 2nd-life OS's. There were a lot of sketchy looking and not really "user-friendly" sites/forums (postmarketOS being one of them) that I avoided but decided to try it anyways. It's been fun and I've enjoyed having a decent OS to tinker with and see what capabilities I can get out of defunct equipment.
If I could get a secure smartphone use out of them I'm gonna be ecstatic. Been staring at phones and GrapheneOS for the past two years but glad I didn't jump onto something yet.

in reply to Arthur Besse • • •I feel so proud of postmarketOS! I've been using them for 2nd life uses for phones, tablets, and chromebooks with very minimal problems. It's like having an obscure band you follow all of a sudden getting mentioned everywhere and I couldn't be happier for the project (like the 3rd time on Lemmy this week alone I've seen them mentioned).
If you have some scrap equipment throw it on and report your findings! There's a lot of testing that needs done and information needs to flow. I've done a "recipe" notebook with an old chromebook, a tablet for easy video viewing I can send videos to (instead of making my partner come to the comp), and like 3 other devices that I haven't finished with but pmOS will be a part of it.
Join their testing team if you have devices that aren't listed! Unlike most requirements, if it's not listed that just means it probably hasn't been tested...not that it doesn't work on your device. (they could probably also use some editors for their text instructions, it's quite back and forth with links trying to find proper instructions).
