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.

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)

Can we appreciate #7?

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.

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.

GoldenEye has terrible controls compared to modern controller and especially mouse+keyboard but in multiplayer it didn’t really matter as anyone is on even footing.

My family still has one but the image quality is terrible on modern big screen TVs because

1. It’s stretched out and native resolution of N64 is already tiny by today’s standards.
2. Unnatural aspect ratio unless you can set black bars somehow.
3. Modern displays have sharper pixel separation and colors don’t ‘bleed’ into each other as much which kinda helped the rough polygons of that era.

The result is a picture that is both sharp and blurry at the same time and gives me head aches after an hour or so.

Ok, now that you mention it: I think the difference is that (at least in my region) the PlayStation was sold with a memory card included. Standalone memory cards for it were cheap. N64 came without a memory pack and they were more expensive.

IIRC PS also had a more granular slot size (eg gran turismo takes up 1 slot while final fantasy takes up 3 slots) while on the N64 it was large and fixed (each game takes up one large slot even if that slot doesn’t use up all the data).

In hindsight that has me wondering why they didn’t go for dynamic slot size 🤔. Maybe because a save file could grow over time and they wanted to ensure that you could always overwrite/update?

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.
