I’m not American, so not only am I distanced from what is going on there, but also from Mr Rogers. Regardless, I take his advice for children- When something bad is happening, look for the helpers. They aren’t in the headlines of the day, but they are there.

Following on from this, one of the things that I believe made me an adult was when I started helping the helpers.

Go volunteer for a cause you believe in. You’ll not only feel better about the cause, but you’ll feel better about yourself, and you’ll help other people feel better.

It’s a jpeg, it has lossy compression. There could be compression at any point in that chain, most likely right on creation of the screenshot, storage on your lemmy instance, download to my device, upload to my colour picker…

Plurple

There would have been a bunch of image compression and transcoding along the way. Are the other values as expected?

That’s RGB 1, 122, 134.

So while it’s slightly more blue than it is green, I would argue that by calling it one or the other, you are cutting yourself off from a whole spectrum of wondrous complexity. Needing to win an argument denies you the subtle beauty of expanding your view of the world, opening your eyes to the possibility that not only is the other side correct, but you are correct as well.

I believe that’s what dark energy is- the shortfall from not violating conservation of energy, given what we know about physics vs what we observe in the universe.

I’m not sure if this answers the question, but it might help.

Everything in space is moving, but it’s not expanding outward from a central point, like an explosion. Instead, the space between the things is getting bigger.

The balloon analogy gets thrown around a lot, but I find it misleading- It’s not about the balloon getting bigger, expanding outward from the center of the sphere. It’s more about the surface of that balloon stretching.

The rubber sheet analogy helps. Scatter a bunch of things on a infinite rubber sheet. Now stretch that in all directions - the things get further apart, but are not moving away from a central point.

In This Moment

In the vein of the second one, I saw George with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra at the Opera House, performing with Jon Lord a symphony that wrote. Fucking incredible.

I like it because it reduces bin juice.

Would this be using Starlink? To reduce relying on a third party, would telcos be launching their own LEO constellations?

Are humans based on apes or great apes?

Heck yeah, I use it for all sorts of macros. Especially in CAD, I’m generally off the keyboard and on the streamdeck for modifiers and tools. The per - key screen comes in handy when I switch into other programs that I don’t use so often, so don’t have a muscle memory for the keys.

The internet has totally changed how humanity works, learns, socialises, and plays. I cannot think of a more dramatic social upheaval, aside from possibly the industrial revolution, or the taming of the horse.

If you want to feel what the car is doing, it’s great. If you want to feel the clutch point, it’s great. If you want to have precise throttle control, it’s great. If you want to have protection in a fire, not so great.

Because that just means a bunch of people not able to buy groceries, because they don’t have that specific denomination of cash.

I find notes to be a pain in the ass to use, let alone coins.

As an Aussie I remember meeting foreigners when I was a youngster, and just being totally bewildered that they couldn’t swim. To me, it was as if they had said they never learnt to run, or how to open a door.

My next lesson came when I took a foreign friend who could swim to the beach. I swam out past the breakers and bobbed around wondering where they were… Turns out that not everyone grew up around waves, and they didn’t know you could dive under them. So they were still back by the beach, waist deep, just getting smashed around constantly.

My favourite part was when I clicked the “who’s this for?” link.

I’m interested in why you chose the i5 for the automation, rather than the video server?

I’m no expert, but things like transcoding (or even just re-encoding) take a lot of grunt, which it seems the i5 would be good for.

The i3 would be good for more constant, lower power tasks like automation.

At least, that’s my thoughts, happy to be shown your reasoning…
