@lobingera yeah, there's absolutely no technical reason operating systems can't (say) embed captured text (including image alt text) in the metadata of PNG screenshots so that apps could autopopulate their alt-text fields. If we wanted to be really fancy we could store a link to the original content, and much richer details so even links could still work, like those PDFs that are clearly a scanned image but are marked up with semantic information about the text anyway. I really want this to be a thing, but nobody seems interested in doing it despite the huge amounts of screenshots that get passed around this way 🤷 There's probably some privacy implications to work through but they're not insurmountable

So TIL perl has a "flip-flop" operator, ".." (two dots) — if left side is true, it turns on, if the right side is true it turns off.

Yeah, "turns on" and "turns off" means it _remembers state_. Internally.

I don't think I've ever seen such a… cute? no… clever? no… obnoxious and hazard-prone language feature.

Put it in a file-processing function, process multiple files… yeah who needs scope? And a perl non-wiz like me doesn't even notice state being kept.

What a great perl-being-perl example.
