@gemlog@tilde.zone Wow, you did put it to good use!
I'm pretty sure you can do that with ffmpeg too, but it's been years since I tried that. I know ImageMagick is a great tool, but… you know, the learning curve — when you do you best not to touch something that looks too versatile and powerful, but also complex. I think I got into ffmpeg when clipping videos with avidemux got too repetitive and not precise enough, I was like "This thing just makes previews and spawns ffmpeg, why don't I do this myself?"

@gemlog@tilde.zone And I took a habit of not interacting with others in this state of mind — no, I don't get mean or offensive or something like that, I just get talkative, but I'm very paranoid at the same time so I just make a lot of stuff up. I'm going to close my Fedi tabs pretty soon 😋

@gemlog@tilde.zone No! Last time I've pulled that off I couldn't remember half the fun I've had, I'm not making that mistake again 😅
When it comes to alcohol, I have this weirdly good metabolism, but I'm doing my best not to abuse it. It's nice to "tune out" once in a while and stop worrying about… almost everything, just have fun watching stupid shows, but not too often.

@Joseph@stop.voring.me
Just like my cat! He likes being called a sweet bunny, he's white, doesn't have a tail and LOVES having his ass slapped — he sometimes does stupid shit, but in a very unstealthy manner, so he would get noticed and punished — yeah, looks like he's into this sort of thing 😸

Ah, also… almost forgot about it.
What a week, huh? 🥴

I'm going to make another attempt at watching Nichijou, previous two were failed miserably so this time I've got a liter of cheap scotch on me to make things easier. Didn't help with K-On! though — I still couldn't watch it even after having a bottle of vodka. Maybe I'm just not cut out for what KyoAni does 🤷

@gemlog@tilde.zone ffmpeg is just great — my friends think I'm weird because I clip videos using some command line incantation, but it's actually easy if you do it several times a day. ImageMagick is still uncharted territory to me though, but what I want with images is basically scaling, cropping, expanding by filling with color of choice and converting to different format — and ffmpeg does this just fine with images too.

@gemlog@tilde.zone Yeah, that's what they always do: make something "easier to use" so even non-techie could use that, but end up with something just as complex, but also a thing on its own so it leaves even a seasoned software developer puzzled about how to use that 😅

@gemlog@tilde.zone No, I mean if MS has that, LibreOffice does too — it sure does, it had some rudimentary facilities for accessing database even in StarOffice days, now AFAIK they even have a separate component for Postgres.
But I bet it would have taken you longer to figure out how to accomplish that using built-in tools 😁

@thor Wrong year, time traveller! We use ChatGPT for that nowadays 😄

@iska@mk.starnix.network Never given it a thought, but yeah it's pretty smart. Thinklight in general was so much better than back-lit keyboard, I was quite surprised to learn that they've given up on it and went with the Backlot kb 😩

@iska@mk.starnix.network ThinkPads have pretty bad touchpads. Disable it and use the space for a nice sticker, that's what I did 😁

@Mabelz Soviet flag (or is it banner?) in the background, yet pavement and cars don't look like something from Soviet era to me🤔

@sotolf
Likewise here, I sometimes favourite the post to show support, but only after making a comment explaining what it actually means. To make it less ambiguous, like "I know what this means, you have my support" not "I like your suffering" 😅@urusan

@gemlog@tilde.zone I think at least MS Office had a native way to do it, something like using @field_name@ in the template Word document and real values get retrieved from and Excel table or a database, but I like your style 😆

@davidaugust I knew a guy who used to leave the company-provided phone in the office when he was leaving. If the employer wants you to be reachable in the after hours because of emergency, but doesn't want to make an exception and wants you in the office at 8 or 9 AM when there's no emergency, it is something to consider. They hire you to do your job and do it well, but they don't own you 🤷

@swaggboi Hifi ones will do a better job in this case IMO 😅

Wow, Git works surprisingly well for RTF files at least when those are generated by LibreOffice. I knew RTF is human-readable, but I wasn't expecting it to be split into lines properly so even the diffs would make sense. I expected it, despite being basically text, to be a mess comparable to binary files 😅
