AI: I will make palaeography obsolete by automatically reading all text!

Palaeographers: These 4 examples of the letter g were written by the same scribe on the same page ca. 727 CE.

I am currently in the process of proofing an OCR scan of a book against an original copy as "AI" can't even read Fraktur, ie, everything published in Germany pre-1941.
in reply to Anna Dorofeeva

New scribe: I'm having trouble with the g, how exactly do I draw it?
Head monk: It's a circle on top and then a sorta curly bit at the bottom
New scribe: Could you explain the curly bit?
Head monk: You'll figure it out

Les règles du jeu sont simples - Choisissez une photo (de préférence la vôtre), éditez avec Gimp et taguez #sundaygimp, un dimanche; puis suivez le tag #sundaygimp (et aussi #dimanche-photo-edition)
Remarque: Si vous n’utilisez pas Gimp, mais que vous voulez toujours jouer, utilisez simplement le tag #Sunday-photo-edit et modifiez les images avec votre éditeur d’image préféré.

The rules of the game are simple - choose a photo (preferably your own), edit with Gimp and tag #sundaygimp on a Sunday ;-) … and follow the tag #sundaygimp (and also #Sunday-photo-edit)
Note: if you do not use Gimp, but still want to play along, just use the tag #Sunday-photo-edit and edit the images with your favorite image editor

Kommt d* gläsern*e Schüler*in?

Ein sehr ordentlicher Artikel zum „SchülerID“ genannten Kinderkennzeichen der BReg und einer Einordnung zu den damit verbundenen grundrechtlichen Eingriffen. Wenn die ID bis 2027 kommt, dauert es bis mind2030 bis das BVerfG/EuGH das wieder rückgängig machen. Der entstandene Schaden für die Schülery ist nicht wieder rückgängig zu machen.

Ein Aufruf zu ordentlicher Statistik, mehr Lehr- u Betreukräften und besserer Schulausstattung

@nellie_m Yep, it came back online pretty quickly. Really glad we're preserving history!





Claims of an Iranian plot to attack Tel Aviv’s embassy in London have emerged at an all-too-convenient moment for the pro-Israel lobby’s push to proscribe Iran’s IRGC as a terrorist entity in Britain.

While details of the case remain sparse, previous such allegations suggest that linking this plot to Tehran without substantiated evidence is politically motivated.

I dreamt that I was watching The Usual Suspects, but instead of Kevin Spacey, it was Bill Murray.

Like, the entire dream was me sitting on a sofa watching this moving and at random points thinking "no, that line's not meant to be funny."

How do I get #imagemagick to create an output as 1bit image (PNG or BMP)?

I tried "-depth 1" and "-monochrom" and similar things, but it always creares an image with 3*8bit depth.

My current command line is:

magick -background white -fill black -font Arial -size 800x400 -pointsize 96 -depth 1 -monochrome "label:This is a test" test.bmp


Update:

Order matters. If the "label" is behind "-depth 1" it ruins it. Thanks for all replies.

magick -background white -size 800x400 -fill black -font Arial "label:Das ist ein Test" -depth 1 -monochrome demo.bmp ; magick identify demo.bmp


demo.bmp BMP 800x400 800x400+0+0 1-bit sRGB 2c 40130B 0.000u 0:00.000


Update 2:

It is still not displaying an image, but I think I am getting there. I only have one try per refresh every 15min.

Update 3:

Sometimes it pays of to check the documentation more carefully: docs.usetrmnl.com/go/imagemagi…

In 10min I will see if it works. Looks like "-strip" is also important.

@_RyekDarkener_ Yes, it should:
1) Convert the image to indexed mode and set maximum palette to 2 colors
2) On PNG export, make sure the "Optimize for smallest possible palette size" checkbox is checked
3) It should export as a 1 bit PNG.

If not, let us know and we'll try to fix it! :)

The Trump administration's assault on Palestine activism may seem unprecedented, but the parallels to the post-9/11 "War on Terror" are chillingly familiar.

In fact, the playbook and narrative are strikingly similar. When former President George W. Bush declared the “War on Terror.”

However, this attempt to quash dissent will fail, because you cannot deport a movement.

I'm really rather happy with this one 💚 Summer Emeralds in Ruby Wood. I was never good at painting in greens so pleased that stitching works much better!
I'm not totally convinced about the mount colour, but I had this one in and I want to exhibit it next weekend at #DerbyshireOpenArts (might revisit when I have time)
