Saudi Arabi is hostile to Iran (as is Israel) too.

I’m the opposite of this picture. It’s like I have to relearn the game each time and fluid play takes a long time to return.

Funnily enough my muscle memory persists to some degree though. So for instance if a particularly tough enemy is charging me I might push a specific key without actually knowing what it does. Afterwards I have to reason and rediscover what I was trying to accomplish and bind that action to the key I pressed.

You can see that it’s symmetrical and that they used 6 diametrical cuts to make 12 pieces. So 2 are missing.

Not that it matters much, but this little dishonesty just adds to the zaniness of the whole ad.

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.

That sounds like a useful feature. Which apps are you using?

How do you tag another user? Did you just mean you left a mental note or is it possible to assign custom tags to users somehow?

Is that what the Steam Deck uses? It’s pretty useful.

Iceland’s president holds a largely ceremonial position in the parliamentary republic, acting as a guarantor of the constitution and national unity.

That’s why.

You can export all your bookmarks to a single JSON file. it’s a format designed for storing and exchanging data between machines just like this.

Also good for making local backups of your favorites.

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.

I tried using Krita instead of gimp but found it hard to do color management: adjust levels, exposure, color curves and such. At the time I simply couldn’t find any dialogs to do many of those tasks.

I mean you could alias the glob option as the default but I clearly see your point about standardized default behaviour.

You bring up a pretty good point. Whenever I have a personal document that could go into multiple categories (eg a travel insurance certificate can go into travel, insurance, or finance folder) I place it in all 3 at once with hard links. What’s more is that if I intuitively first search for a document in place A but it’s actually in place B I simply place a link in A for the next time.

Before I learned a bit about file systems I didn’t even conceive of such a thing being possible; precisely because the folder metaphor had imprinted upon me the physical world constraint that things can only be in a single place at once.

Aha, to me it’s an apt metaphors as files go into folders and it fits with the whole desktop analogy.

So what’s the difference?

My intuition is that directory is the older term and refers to something existing on the file system while folder can be that but also includes “virtual folders” that group together different files from across the file system like when photo manager shows you categories like ‘recently viewed’ or ‘taken in 2023’.

I much like Quod Libet. It has a clean, functional interface to manage your local music collection. Also support for Plugins is nice.

You can create Boolean Logic filters like (played < 10 times AND genre = classical AND composer = Mozart) which I appreciate. And some of the included tools like being able to automatically create meta data tags from file names (for instance <artist> - <album> - <track>.mp3).

It’s the best replacement for Music Bee (Windows only) that I’ve come across.

In this vein I love how companies even spin up entire domains with affiliate links like top10airfryers.net or bestvacuumcleaners2024.com.

And then there source for the ratings is Amazon customer reviews or even the manufacturer’s online shop 🙄.

The source for the bird loss is: Loss et al. Love it when people have fitting names like that. A painter named Brush, an investment banker named Rich, a hairdresser named Mane, etc.
