"Appears like" is not correct. You could say "looks like," but that's not the title of this article.
Gatsby is great, of course, but for me, "This Side of Paradise" is far better. Underappreciated.
Re:GIMP 3.0 Released on Monday March 17, 2025 @08:52PM (#43394567)
I opened GIMP once. I won't do it again until somebody compares a UI update to Blender's big one. 2.9?
We're going to see a lot of changes like this as the legacy media structure continues to lose its hold on the global attention budget. There will be multiple layers of major consolidation, and dramatically reduced budgets.

Fortunately, the variety of content will increase, and some of it will be higher quality than the average big media piece, as smaller teams create passion projects. Overall budgets will shrink, but advances in technology will (hopefully) allow the production quality to stay relatively high.

They don't want people using it while plugged in. They care more about how that would look antiquated than they do about convenience.

Oh nice. Thanks!
I was forced (thankfully) to commit everything under 12x12 to just rote memory, is that not widespread?

Interesting. It's a woodblock print, so I think it would have been created backwards from the final product?
I would buy this today if it filmed horizontal video.
The content creator should decide the frame rate. Higher real fps I can get behind. But I don't want a third tier middle man making up fake frames.

A mouse for Descent? We used to play with both hands on the keyboard- look, slide, and spin on the number pad, move, fire, etc. on the far left side. We're we alone?

Why didn't they make the resumes identical? Todd's is much easier to read quickly.

That's a heavily photoshopped image for a 1771 citation.
Wasn't there a labor shortage?

Good AI rotoscoping is welcome any time.
After 2044.
Bold claim that payload cost will fall enough to take materials up, make display panels and import them back to Earth.

I think in-space manufacturing will be about two things for a long time: making things for space, like concrete out of regolith, and bringing things down that are rare on Earth, like precious metals.

Not paying is unprofessional and grounds for a lawsuit.
They certainly hyped them, but I hate mine. The post processing is way over the top, for one thing. And the raw images are just terrible.
Re:Switch off bad TV settings on Monday December 04, 2023 @08:55PM (#38526027)
I went back and watched content that had been jarring, and it's fixed. My wife, for whom all this is instinctual as opposed to technical, is able to watch now without feeling sick. IDK, it's weird.
Re:Switch off bad TV settings on Monday December 04, 2023 @08:29PM (#38525842)
Important to know that Roku has an "adjust frame rate to content native rate" which, insanely, is off by default. It will make up frames on all content by default if it's less than what your TV is capable of. I just got a new LG C3, and this was making us nauseous until I figured it out. I thought it was the TV, but unbelievably it was the Roku.

For many movies the marketing and related costs of release are as much as the budget to make them.

If you know that Photopea was developed by a single dev, this article is comedy gold.
Re:Greek Temples Made of Wood on Tuesday October 03, 2023 @06:38PM (#37758558)
I have been trying to figure out the origin of egg and dart for years. This is an interesting direction to explore, I guess with some artistic license over centuries I could see that it evolved from the tip points of structural members. Maybe the rings of a wooden pole splitting from drying out.

Whether this is insanity or evil, I don't know, but it needs to be stopped.
