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.

I don't think it works well here because the art styles don't match and the way the bar keeper is drawn looks nothing like the old woman.

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 👍.

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.

Oh nice, I had a lot of fun with the demo back then. I'd describe it as basically XCOM 2 but with super heroes and you can pull off a lot of fun combos when your heroes work together.

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.

Wow, this one actually had me intrigued. So much that I read the whole text below (which is also well written and deserves attention):

The Cotton Looms get all the press in the early industrial revolution, but the Threshing Machine really might be the biggest jump in productive capacity in the history of the world. It cut out so much manual labor (people used to have to bash flails against the grain for hours and hours to separate the seeds) that there were riots all over because it caused so much unemployment and social upheaval. The famous Luddites, who people think of as being opposed to all technology, were mostly mad about automated cotton looms, and their consequences on society. They even went so far as destroying the looms (and other similar movements destroyed threshing machines). They weren't just backwards thinking technology haters though, but rational people who noticed that there was something deeply wrong with how society was organized that a machine which improved efficiency so much was causing poverty and even starvation among the very workers who it should have benefited. It wasn't the Luddites who were irrational, but the structure of society itself. After all it should be the people doing back breaking work who are most happy about a machine replacing them, but because all efficiency gains go to the owners, those people are simply out of a job. We've seen this time and time again under capitalism, and is even going on right now with AI.

The dragon is based on Adam Smith, who noticed these kind of improvements in production were the key to increasing the wealth of a given society, and that reorganization of society from feudal lords, who largely spent their money on luxuries, to industrial capitalists, who spent a lot of their money on "research and development", i.e. improving the efficiency of their factories, was causing economic growth and ever increasing wealth. In order to modernize, societies essentially had to get rid of the feudal lords put all of their money into the hands of capitalists as much as possible, to kick start this kind of economic growth.

Without the comic I might never have bothered to read the text though. In that sense it's very well made.

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.

Ha! I instantly recognized this art style. it's Richard Scarry, British children's book author. I still have a hard copy of one of my favorites from childhood:

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

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

<album>

<track>

.mp3).

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

love the pro wrestling style energy in the 2nd panel 🤼‍♀️
