Yeah, when I need to inspect lots of images I just open the folder in gwenview.

For peeking at a single picture or two through you can hold down control and click/hover on the filename when using Konsole. Love that feature. You can even listen to .wav files this way.

If you need it precise and adjustable use 2 layers and concentrate them with the alignment tool.

Always thought of the noise channel giving the Gameboy a unique character among low bit rate music. Glad to see you make use of it (I like Thunderking arena for instance).

Ok, that’s helpful for providing alt text for images inside the body of a post.

Bus what about image posts? When using the web interface I don’t see any opportunity for entering the alt text. 🤔

Fun fact: the monikers used for these children in the book are used in coloquial speech to describe children that misbehave or exhibit behavioral discrepencies:

• shock headed Peter: an unkempt, filthy child
• fidgety Philip: ADHS or hyperactive child
• Johnny-Head-in-the-Air: daydreaming, absent mindedness
• wicked Frederick: cruelty to animals (sociopathy, lack of empathy often reveal themselves this way early on)
• Soup Caspar: eating disorder, perhaps
• etc

The original book was written by a medical doctor dealing with children, go figure!

Yeah,

1 + (1*5000%) = 51

Honestly I prefer just writing “51 times more frequent”.

yes

He made a post using command line lingo too, but anyone with even basic knowledge of those commands can tell you that both the syntax and the way he alludes to them are wrong.

It’s the equivalent of slinging a guitar in a picture to look cool but pressing the side with the strings against your belly.

Yeah, what a joke. Especially when Musk is right there in the headline 😞.

Imo they should at the very least standardize some color coding and labeling. All charging-only cables are yellow, data cables are blue. Something like that.

Ah yes, there isn’t even an option to permanently disable this popup, only remind me later. When the operating system is the nag ware. `

That but it was also just a depiction closer to reality: for instance famine and starvation were a common theme in Grimm’s collection of tales (Hänsel & Gretel, the star money, etc). But in the modern world [industrialized west] we know longer have a direct cultural experience of it.

Similarly gone down have:

• corporal punishment, mutilation (the girl without hands, Cinderella)
• indentured servitude, slavery (Rumpelstilzchen)
• cannibalism (Hänsel & Gretel); note that this in the context of a famine
• austerity at old age (the Bremen town musicians)
• despots abusing their power (Snow White)
• maternal death, parental absence (Cinderella, Snow White)
• child labor (Cinderella, Mother Hulda)

Just ask the parents what (s)he likes.

Can we appreciate #7?

Too many games I’ve seen conflate being evil with being a jerk. Few games let you play the ‘long game’ where you are specifically nice and cooperative to deceive and manipulate. I think this partly due to decisions being made modular and point to point. Your overall morality then is calculated as some form of average of all the decisions you made. Mass effect series comes to mind.

But if you want to play as a scheming villain the opposite should be the case: you set your primary long term goal (eg taking over a country or institution) and then your actions are chosen in the vein of that goal. And those actions might in isolation actually be seen as beneficial or benign. But you ultimately do them to gain trust or deceive.

After watching the original video I started putting some additional powder at the bottom of the loading tray every wash and it works great. Clean dishes ever since, no pre rinse necessary. Can recommend 👍.

git gud

not a meme per se but I always found the command abcde confusing:

user1: How to best rip this music album??

user2: Oh simple: abcde

user1: 🤔🤔?

abcde stands for ‘a better CD encoder’, the more you know

I mean taking the screenshot is the easy part, getting reliable OCR on the other hand …

In my experience (tesseract) current OCR works well for continuous text blocks but it has a hard time with tables, illustrations, graphs, gui widgets, etc.

This is what I used once when my keyboard broke and some keys stopped working. Even ordering the new keyboard was difficult when I couldn’t type my delivery address properly.

You’re right. What I actually wish for is a “export selection” functionality so that you can quickly drag a rectangular selection and export that.
