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

Awesome...

Care to share the video/code? ~~I actually have something similar (Corsair Scimitar's macro customizer doesn't work on Linux~~

As I was writing this I found a project that deals with Corsair MMO mice on Linux so now I will be going on an egg hunt.

edit: I rescind this comment because I seem to have misunderstood what the commenter meant by reclaiming. Sorry, I did not mean to be hateful.

Personally I don't feel either way about this stuff being racist or not. I'm an Asian and I am completely unaffected. But I do think that some people are, and it'd probably be nice to help those people vs. ignoring them.

For git master specifically, it was based off of a foggy memory of something in my RSS feed, and I was just pointing out that it was something that some companies addressed.

No, Gentoo is alive! I can catch up to upstream Firefox's LTO+Clang+PGO optimizations and use my own version of Debian alternatives and save 3MB by removing iso9660 support from REFind!

It seems pretty alive to me though. 5/25 of the month-top-posts in r/unixporn have it in the title, and I'm sure more are present in the comments. And a lot of YT videos on it still mention it.

The old thread about it covers both sides of the coin.

Basically, "ricing" insulted weird Asian car customizations -> "ricing" became a more generic "weird" customization term (this is the most famous transitive example I can think of) -> ricing's origin was forgotten by a decent amount of people. (I mentioned it in the first spoilered text)

But I'd like to keep the focus on yoloing a term out of nowhere :D

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 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."
