marcomourao··on Clipboard Normalizer
I always used Alfred for this. A snippet for {clipboard} which effectively pastes in plain text. I also have workflows to manipulate text that are basically: pbpaste | (do something) | pbcopy

marcomourao··on The vertical bar (|) is the best HTML page title separator
I'm a graphic designer and avoid it like the plague. Because the bottom extends to the descender instead of the baseline, it always looks misaligned.

marcomourao··on Photoshop ToS grants Adobe access to user projects for 'content moderation'
I stopped using Adobe a couple of years ago, replaced it with the Affinity suite. Publisher still lacks a lot of InDesign features but it gets the job done.

For photography I'm using FastRawViewer for culling and Photomator for editing.

> Unless you want, e.g., a destructive crop

Isn't this achieved by enabling the "Delete cropped pixels" option?

From Pixelmator help:

> Select "Delete cropped pixels" to permanently delete the cropped areas of an image or deselect it to crop the image nondestructively and hide the cropped areas of an image instead.

Still there for me.

marcomourao··on A 13th-century Arabic cookbook reveals the culinary life of al-Andalus
> I wonder if this is also the origin of so many egg heavy deserts in Portugal.

Egg whites were used to make communion wafers and starch habits so they had a lot of yolks going around.

marcomourao··on Spotube: Open-source Spotify-Youtube client
Yes. The free version gives you basic stats, the pro version gives you detailed stats.
marcomourao··on Spotube: Open-source Spotify-Youtube client
Through Bandcamp itself, social media, music blogs...

> Europe, US, Canada and Australia is your whole world?

Of course not.

> I’m in Asia btw, largest continent of the world.

Those were only a few examples from the top of my head. We also had sales in S. Korea and Japan.

marcomourao··on Spotube: Open-source Spotify-Youtube client
My opinion is based on the stats Bandcamp provides me. Care to elaborate on why you proclaim otherwise?
marcomourao··on Spotube: Open-source Spotify-Youtube client
Bandcamp is widely used all over the world. My band made 6 times more money from Bandcamp than from all the streaming sites combined. People from all over Europe, USA, Canada and Australia bought our music.

marcomourao··on IA Writer in Paper
If they follow their app pricing model, it will cost €13,55 more in my country for absolutely no reason.
marcomourao··on Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
I've also been using Divvy since as long as I can remember but it hasn't been updated in 4 years, looks like abandonware.
marcomourao··on I spent 3 years working on a coat hanger [video]
I love dark humour but this isn't even funny or clever.
marcomourao··on Paste without formatting on macOS
I've been using TextExpander for this behaviour for a long time. I remapped my "§" (ISO-PT keyboard) key to paste as simple text.
marcomourao··on LogoScale – A method for vectorizing small, crappy logos
I haven't used Inkscape in a while but you can compare them yourself. You can use Vector Magic's web interface to rasterize an image, you won't be able do download it though.
marcomourao··on LogoScale – A method for vectorizing small, crappy logos
I'm a graphic designer and Vector Magic[1] still is my gold standard for vectorizing logos. Expensive but worth it.

marcomourao··on Reddit mods discuss forming a union and suing for back pay
This just shows Steve Huffman's incompetence and lack of foresight as CEO. It seems he only noticed the mods depend on 3rd party apps after the API price announcement. He should have implemented the announced moderation tools first and then kill the API.
