<p>hi. i run "ocr" with dmenu on linux, that triggers maim where i make a visual selection. a push notification shows the body (nice indicator of a whiff), but also it's on my clipboard<p><pre><code>  #!/usr/bin/env bash

  # requires: tesseract-ocr imagemagick maim xsel

  IMG=$(mktemp)
  trap "rm $IMG*" EXIT

  # --nodrag means click 2x
  maim -s --nodrag --quality=10 $IMG.png

  # should increase detection rate
  mogrify -modulate 100,0 -resize 400% $IMG.png

  tesseract $IMG.png $IMG &>/dev/null
  cat $IMG.txt | xsel -bi
  notify-send "Text copied" "$(cat $IMG.txt)"

<p>OFF TOPIC, but, on topic, I decided to goof with playscii yday. It is a powerful little thing, but will take some time for me to get comfortable.<p>"Playscii is an open source ASCII art and animation program. It runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS."<p>- <a href="https://jp.itch.io/playscii" rel="nofollow">https://jp.itch.io/playscii</a><p>- <a href="https://heptapod.host/jp-lebreton/playscii" rel="nofollow">https://heptapod.host/jp-lebreton/playscii</a><p>Good little interview I found with the creator, JP LeBreton (legend, but I didn't know!)<p><a href="https://cheesetalks.net/jplebreton.php" rel="nofollow">https://cheesetalks.net/jplebreton.php</a><p>> As far as tooling limitations, GZDoom is not a bed of roses. Very little in the engine is runtime editable, so you have to reload the engine to see any of your changes. A rapid turnaround time for reloading changes is nice but it's far better to have as much as possible live-update. And ideally, in my opinion, you have the editor built into the engine itself, and you can do much of what you need from there without having to jump around to outside programs. Playscii was my first big attempt to build a little environment like that, something you can <i>think</i> in once you learn it well enough, like a musical instrument. Miles to go but that's always where I'm trying to get to.</p>

<p>I will never use this platform. i didn't even click into it. pathetically, i did click to view comments<p>But I think commenting on someone's bio is the kinda harshness you only do in the moment. the kinda thing I'd approach differently in hindsight (one that isn't an attempt to be cruel)</p>
