Who reads this anyway? Nobody, that’s who. I could write just about anything here, and it wouldn’t make a difference. As a matter of fact, I’m kinda curious to find out how much text can you dump in here. If you’re like really verbose, you could go on and on about any pointless…[no more than this]

Hamartiogonic , to technology in ‘There is no such thing as a real picture,’ says Samsung exec.
@Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz avatar

If you’re using a camera as a scientific instrument, normally you try to make the picture as real as possible. Conjuring up imaginary detail just isn’t acceptable.

However, you can use false color to highlight whatever it is you’re interested in, and this is a common practice in areas such as electronics microscopy, thermal imaging and astronomy. Even that might not be acceptable is you happen to be interested in the color of different things.

In normal everyday photography, the user usually isn’t interested in authentic textures or colors. Fake internet points are far more valuable to most users, and Samsung knows this.

Hamartiogonic , to pics in Saw this in Mexico. What are your thoughts?
@Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz avatar

What does it even mean for something to go against nature? Biology is absolutely wild, and as long as something is physically possible, it will happen somewhere. You could say this and that about a specific group of animals, but there are always crazy exceptions to whatever rule you can come up with. Who knows, maybe there’s a species that depends on virtual particles, superpositions, quantum tunneling, teleportation or entanglement. Sure, those things are really weird, but they are still possible, so why not. Biology seems to be all about this “why not” style of thinking.

Can confirm. It was pretty much business as usual in Finland while the rest of the world was doing something called “lockdown” and taking special precautions, such as keeping the distance of at least 1 alligator between you and everyone else.

How about internal deflagration or detonation engines?

@Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz avatar

Because those videos give Google the best ad revenue. Who cares what the users watch all long as Google gets rich along the way.

The search was already so abysmal that this doesn’t change much.

Hamartiogonic , to technology in Music Piracy Is Back, Baby
@Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz avatar

I think the same thing happened with cars too. Certain generation knows how to fix stuff, but they’re completely lost with modern cars where you can’t do anything without a computer plugged in.

Hamartiogonic , to technology in Exploring Reddit’s third-party app environment 7 months after the APIcalypse
@Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz avatar

No, as far as I’m concerned. It’s dead and buried, and I don’t care how the corpse decomposes from now on.

Hamartiogonic , to askscience in Could non-Newtonian fluids be used in the future as a kind of percussive ear protection?
@Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz avatar

That’s unfortunate. Just like OP, I would have really liked the idea of using a non-newtonian fluid to filter out certain types of sounds without using electricity. Well, I guess, we’re back to active noise canceling then.

@Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz avatar

There are lots of strange options besides newtonian fluids. Would be interesting to see how dilatant, peusdoplastic, thixotropic etc react to sounds. Perhaps there is a way to make a material that allows quiet sounds to pass through and blocks all the loud ones. My guess is that dilatant liquids should be a good candidate.

@Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz avatar

I switched to Lemmy around the time when the discussion around the APIcalypse was intensifying. After the blackout, I still visited about once a week, but within a month or two my Reddit usage had gone down to zero. Can’t say I really miss that place. Pretty soon, it’s going to be a year after the 3rd party apps died, and I won’t even notice. I’ve moved on already.

Hames Joffmann, the number one Coffee youtuber. Also, remember to enable the subtitles if you’re into IPA.

Hamartiogonic , to linux in KDE Goes and Does It (Double-Click By Default, That Is) - OMG! Linux
@Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz avatar

Maybe the KDE devs were expecting you to do file management using the keyboard only. Or maybe they thought that linux users aren’t technical enough that they would ever consider organizing their files. Just dumb it all on the desktop and call it a day, amarite?

The exact opposite is true in many cases. Many shops want to subscribe to me, but so far, only two shops have earned that privilege. They give me discounts, and I carry two extra cards with me.
