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.

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.

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.

Oh I wish GIMP had a "export visible" functionality. My workaround is usually to "copy visible" and then paste to a new image.

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.

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

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'.

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

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.

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.

Yop, ist echt gut und für mich die de facto lemmy Erfahrung, ganz ähnlich wie es damals mit RIF (Reddit is Fun) war.

Eternity ist übrigens vom selben Entwickler wie zu seiner Zeit der Reddit Client infinity (man beachte dass es sich um Synonyme handelt).

Jerboa habe ich auch probiert, finde aber den Bildschirm besser genutzt bei Infinity.
