  • edit: based on the other commenter I think I might be missing a simpler declarative way to do this. The following will be kept for posterity though


    The main idea is:

    1. Use Window Titler to add a title. For me, if I want it on workspace 7, I title the window “7”. (NOTE: The title will probably appear like [title], see below)
    2. Make a script that queries the window manager, and then dispatches a movement to the appropriate workspace. In Hyprland that might be hyprctl -j which gives
    ... json blahblah
    "title": "[7] What's a unique customization on your Linux machine you think no one else has? - tchncs — Mozilla Firefox"
    ... json blahblah
    

    but in Sway it might be something similar to using swaymsg. Only titled windows will have the bracket number thing so just regex that part

    1. Put it in autostart. Because Firefox takes a while to load on my junk machine I sleep for like 30 seconds to a minute before all the titles register.

  • pasting from my keybind config

    # snippet based on end4 dotfiles -- FIXME edge case where a
    #     preexisting tmp.png might be overwritten
    # English
    bind = Super+Shift,T,exec,grim -g "$(slurp $SLURP_ARGS)" "tmp.png" && tesseract -l eng "tmp.png" - | wl-copy && rm "tmp.png"
    # Korean
    bind = Super+Shift,K,exec,grim -g "$(slurp $SLURP_ARGS)" "tmp.png" && tesseract -l kor "tmp.png" - | wl-copy && rm "tmp.png"
    # Japanese
    bind = Super+Shift,J,exec,grim -g "$(slurp $SLURP_ARGS)" "tmp.png" && tesseract -l jpn "tmp.png" - | wl-copy && rm "tmp.png"
    

    I just pipe grim and slurp (i.e. select part of the Wayland screen then copy) into a temporary png, tesseract it into the clipboard, then delete the temporary png.

    edit: clarified

    I think it’s closer to Level 2 Priest compared to Yahweh.

    But then how many abilities will end up crummy for balancing purposes? It’s like “pick a sword, bow, or gun to defend yourself”, but you don’t have the strength for a European longbow and your pirate-era flintlock has enough spread to hit the neighbor’s dog.

    What if teleportation is 2 inches, or flight is 3 feet? What if invisibility means light goes straight through your corneas and you end up blind? What if immortal just means only your brain will survive??

    Nevermind

    Teleportation, invulnerability, siphon abilities.

    And then I teleport to everyone in the thread.

    Unless someone has teleportation, intellect, and siphon abilities. Then they might outwit me and find someone invulnerable before I do. But I might find someone intellectual before they do. And then it becomes a race.

    Comic adaptation when?

    That time I got 3 superpowers from a Lemmy post, but so did everyone else? Yuusha no Skill Siphon











  • When I was younger I memorized this in three (3) steps to use at zero (0) family gatherings… is it cheating if my stupidest joke is the only one I can recall instantly? :]

    Warning: this joke is so ancient, it’s sepia-toned.


    An engineer and a doctor were arguing about who had the harder job. To prove his might, the engineer decided to open a clinic, betting he’d be a successful doctor:

    “If we can cure you, you pay $500; if we can’t, we pay you $1,000.”

    Of course the doctor saw the proverbial <easy money> button immediately. The guy didn’t even have a license! So the doc went straight to the clinic as his first patient.

    Doc: “Sir, I have lost my sense of taste.”

    Engineer: “Nurse, please bring the medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient’s mouth.”

    Doc: “Blawrgh! This is gasoline!”

    Engineer: “Congratulations! You’ve got your taste back. That will be $500.”

    The doctor leaves, fuming. But not to be beaten, he goes back after a few days – he can still leave with a profit if he plays this right.

    Doc: “Sir, I have lost my memory.”

    Engineer: “Nurse, please bring the medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient’s mouth.”

    Doc: “What, no! That’s gasoline!”

    Engineer: “Congratulations! You’ve got your memory back. That will be $500.”

    The doctor leaves pissed. Buuut, doc comes back after a few days — he needs to at least break even, right? So, more determined than before, he brings a cane and says:

    Doc: “Sir, I’ve gone blind.”

    Engineer: disappointed “Well, unfortunately I don’t have any medicine for that. Take this $1,000.”

    Doc: “But this is $500…”

    Engineer: “Congratulations! You’ve got your vision back! That will be $500.”
