Just for reference, Codex using GPT-5.4 and that exact prompt was a 4-shot that took ten minutes. The first result was a horrific caricature. After a slight rebuke ("That looks terrible. Read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleur-de-lis for a better understanding of what it should look like."), it produced a very good result but it then took two more prompts about the right side of the image being clipped off before it got it right.

Yes! I still use my Panasonic 50" plasma as my daily driver. I still love it, it's an amazing TV :D

Hmm, I don't see plugins. Only a couple shaders here https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-comp/tree/master/src/backen...

You could open an issue and ask :P

Very cool, I was unaware of this product. Thanks for the deal! :D

Unfortunately, yes. Several years ago they started soldering the RAM directly to the motherboard, and don't provide any ram slots. So, whatever amount a unit shipped with is the max it will ever have.

I'm still using a mid-2009 MBP. Upgraded the RAM, replaced the hard drive with an SSD, and just last week installed Catalina on it. It's still my daily driver lol.

I do the exact same thing. Just a text file that these days I store in a Dropbox folder so that no matter what system I'm on I can just "vi ~/Dropbox/notes.txt".

Similarly, several years ago I added a keybind to my .vimrc that, by typing ",a" I'm moved to the bottom of the file and today's date with a separator line underneath. My leader key is "," and I mnemonically associate "a" with "append".

The earliest date recorded in it goes back to 2006 and is about 300KB in size. I still reference and add to it on a regular basis.

Thanks for that! I hadn't seen it before, that's pretty funny.

While ultimately true, the problem is that you can't control how other people think or judge, but you can control what you wear.

The immutability illusion was busted for me when SpaceX edited one of their video live-streams. Their intent was harmless in that they corrected a split-screen that was showing the same camera feed in both windows, IIRC.

However, when you visit that video's youtube page, the video date was listed as something like "Live-streamed on ...", with no note of it being edited. You are given the impression that what you are about to view is what was streamed, when it's not.

The edited version is a better video, but don't tell me I'm watching the same thing as those who saw it live during the stream.

Thank you for mentioning IrfanView. Back in the day I used to have a cracked copy of LviewPro that was always one of the 1st programs to be installed whenever I started working on a new system. It was small, fast, and I could easily flip through all the image files in a directory.

I stopped using LviewPro probably 8, or 10 years ago, but always wished I knew of a replacement that was so efficient. I see that IrfanView also does quite a bit more. I think I have a new favorite!

Now, if you'll pardon me, I need to drop the author a kind note. :)

Yep, IrfanView is fantastic, I gladly paid the license. Sadly it's not available on Linux.

Wow one of the lucky 10 000! I can understand your happiness, I think I felt the same way probably over 15 years ago when I first found it.

ACDSee was thee shit, mate

Fastpictureviewer? I haven't found a program (on Linux too) that comes close to the performance.
