linuxmemes@lemmy.world•I know how to draw a circle in GIMP, anon!
2·10 months agoIf you need it precise and adjustable use 2 layers and concentrate them with the alignment tool.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•I released a fully open-source album of Game Boy music [link in body]
1·11 months agoAlways 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).
takeheart@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•In a similar vein, alt-text your image posts here!English
2·11 months agoOk, 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!

Technology@lemmy.world•The Worst Person You Know Made a Great Point; Asmongold Asks Elon Musk To Prove Legitimacy of His ‘Path of Exile 2’ AccountEnglish
8·1 year agoHe 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.

10·1 year agoImo 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.

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)

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's a good gift for a 2-year old?
0·1 year agoJust ask the parents what (s)he likes.
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 gudnot a meme per se but I always found the command
abcdeconfusing: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.
Oh I wish GIMP had a “export visible” functionality. My workaround is usually to “copy visible” and then paste to a new image.



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
.wavfiles this way.
