Wait really? Are you saying this Google search[0] returns no useful results at all?
The prompt I used isn't a particularly good search query, and I got:
* A Stack Overflow question about this issue with a proposed solution;
* A Reddit thread offering a workaround to non-technical users;
* This thread on HN (which OP of course couldn't have seen, but anyway);
* OP's article;
* A blog post about OP's article;
* A blog post with an elegant solution using pyftsubset
I think you're moving the goalposts. I didn't know this problem existed until OP's article taught me about it, but it seems pointless to continue this discussion.
