  • I don't think so, film only meant represent light and colors the human eye is capable of observing. For example flowers glow due to pigment diffraction with UV light, finished photographs tend to not be UV reactive.

  • If only people were straight forward and detached.

    Fantasy: "This relationship is not working out anymore, it is time for a break up/ divorce so we can move on with our long term lives in a more positive way."

    "Yes I agree let us proceed forward in a calm and reasonable manor with no screaming or anger. We shall split assets in a fair and non-childish way."

    "Okay I will be staying in another house/motel until the house is sold, have a good one"

    "You too!"

    Reality: 5 hours of incoherent scream fighting, crying and baseless threats followed by another 5 hours of passionate makeup sex

  • I don't give a fuck if I cut my thumb peeling

  • The average person is about as technologically literate as a rock and curious about learning new things as a weed. Only a small subset of intelligent, curious, principled people dare to think of using alternatives that require users to have more than two brain cells or an attention span of more than 30 seconds.

  • Older tech nerdsn are the pioneers of new and open technologies like fediverse and smolnet, because they are smart enough and care enough about technological principles/philosophies to use them. As the services grow they begin to reach a phase where it attracts reactionary people who are looking actively for alternatives to mainstream services ru n by corporations. This tends to be fanatical people who think capitalism/global economic system bad, or the very vocally queer. Then if it manages to grow even further, say from an exodus of users from a competing service, the normal people finally come and attract more normal people with far more varying discussion interest besides conputer technogy, spewing debates on political/economic ideas, and being gay.

  • TTS emps would wipe the floor with ad-emperor spez no question

  • I bet an instance geared specifically towards sports would be a relatively popular one

  • A) public unix servers. They are publically joinable servers not unlike Lemmy instances. They often provide free services to its members such as email, website/gopher/gemini hosting, coding tools, and many other useful utilities. The OG pubnix is SDF.org however many modern ones exist such as tilde.town, tilde.team, tilde.club and many more. Each are slightly different in offerings and culture so do your own research before joining. Find out more at https://tildeverse.org

  • I get my hair buzz cut by a family member. Cost: 20$ for the electric cutters and 0.001c per cut in electric.

  • Its a harmless bit of gamification that I like. Watching a number slowly climb as I interact and make quality post helps keep me motivated. My ego isn't tied to internet points. Its not earth shattering to me to lose them, just a bit wierd. Please get off your high horse, I know this isn't reddit.

  • In googles settings you can turn off watch history and nuke whats there, which should affect recommendations to a degree. I recommend you export her youtube subscriptions to people she likes (that arent qanon), set up an account on an invidious instance, and import those subs. This has the benefit of no ads and no tracking/algorithm making. The recommendations can be turned off too I think. Freetube for desktop and newpipe for andrioid are great 3rd party youtube scrapers. The youtube subs can also be imported to a RSS feed client.

  • Truth.

  • This may just be confirmation bias but it seems like the majority of cars that pull out in front of me forcing me to break when they could have just waited 2 seconds for me to pass seem to be pickup trucks. Bonus points with last weeks one to do that which was also 1) driven by an elderly couple 2) swerveing all over the road, 3) driving 5 miles below speed limit, 4) had unsecured items in the back.

    They do make mini-trucks which are much better for fuel mileage while having the benefits of a work truck, but like you said these people aren't buying them with fuel mileage or practicality in mind.

  • It will be interesting to see how this graph develops in the following months!

  • Audacity used to be open source, several forks of it exist but easy to just download the last open source version of audacity (most Linux package managers will use this by default).

  • Minetest + mineclone2 = FOSS legally distinct minecraft

  • Mints cinnamon desktop environment is very different to Plasma KDE. You may find it more pleasant to use. What are you unhappy about with your current distro and what makes you want to move back to windows

  • Please try linux mint, it truly is an exellent and nearly bullet proof OS. Pretty much the most popular distro so theres a good chance if you ever do run into an issue or want to know something its not hard to find the info you need with a simple query. No driver jankiness or hardware support issues ive ever experienced either.

  • You can self host a local chatgpt like ai known as a local large language model. Searx and Searxbg are great customizable meta search engines that you can customize to scrape whatever you want

  • There's some fediverse Instagram clone instances known as pixelfied and plemora, check out fediverse.info
