  • For now, I have just saved it in my clipboard application, so I copy-paste.
    When it goes out of history, I just open a file, where I have saved it and copy from there. So it’s pretty crude.

    I was hoping that either the KDE Social web interface would add a “Signature” feature or I would pick some Lemmy application that would allow that, but for now it’s just this.

    Perhaps, if I feel like it’s being too frequent, I may set a compose key for it.

  • Not every. The quick, very-low effort ones, I just leave.

    Why:
    I saw another post with “Anti Commercial AI License”, then wen on to read the license and went, “Neat!”.

    • It makes it easier for anyone to decide what to do if they want to use my comment/post (in cases where it actually has something useful)
    • It makes life just a bit harder for people data-mining for AI
      • That way, some data entry worker will probably ask for a raise and probably even get it and maybe some entrepreneur going “AI everywhere!” will think twice.
      • Or there will be a chatbot spouting “Anti Commercial AI License” or “CC By-NC-SA” in their answer text, which would be hilarious.

  • Except that there is. Alright, maybe not exactly, but…

    The whites that you see as white (in the other white parts which don’t seem red), are shifted like #E0F9F8. Notice the reduced reds there.

    The whites you see as red are shifted like #F9F9F7. This one, I’d probably call yellow, but you get the point, reduced blues. There’s probably a better example pixel in there and I just haven’t found it.

    The red pixels in the thumbnail, well, maybe JPEG downscaling? I can’t say, because I don’t know what downscaling algorithm is being used.


    So the parts you see as white, are actually bluish white in a sea of blue (Cyan is just mixtures of blue and green in case of RGB) and the part you see as red, are reddish white, in a sea or blue.

    Also, for those who don’t see red, don’t look straight at the image. Look at something near it, with the image in your peripheral vision and you’ll get what others are saying. But I guess that happened while you were reading the title.




  • LEAN from the web:

    After each iteration, project managers discuss bottlenecks, identify waste and develop a plan to eliminate it.

    1st iteration:

    Project Manager A: Requiring approval of multiple Project Managers for the same thing is causing a bottleneck. So is having to wait for a specific manager for a specific topic.

    Resolution: Let all managers approve everything and need only a single manager’s approval.

    2nd iteration:

    Project Manager B: There are too many redundant managers. It’s a waste of resources.

    Resolution: Get rid of all mangers but one. Actually, let the engineers manage themselves.

    3rd iteration:

    Consensus: LEAN development is a scam though

    You can only win one battle.
    And you have to choose what you push for.

    This problem wouldn’t have existed, had enough people migrated to open journals during the internet boom.

    And if reviewers are not being paid anyway, they might as well start working with someone that’s not a money sink.
    Of course I can’t say much in this regard, as I have never been a reviewer (probably not even qualifying), but I’d rather be associated with an organisation that focusses on giving a better service than on wringing funds and work out of all that deal with them.

  • friction of water against a submarine’s hull

    I can’t say for sure, but I feel like the affect due to said friction would be much lower, considering we are managing solid-solid friction in a lot of places.

    theoretical quantum bubbles

    Yeah, that’s not relevant. Just added that to clarify which “void” I’m talking about.


    The vaporising metals problem, I think might be alleviated by covalent bonding materials, so polymers? But not sure about that either.

  • The current “space” we go into, tends to have a tinny amount of atmosphere. (1.322×10-11 Pa according to some random top result on Google)
    So if you want to keep inside conditions at around 1 atm for a human to stay, that’s all the difference you need to keep, and a duct tape might work.

    But the void I refer to, is very different.
    Think:

    • Vaporising metals
    • Theoretical quantum bubble formation

    Normal spacecrafts made for “space”, might even have their outer surface constantly being diffused in the void.


    Disclaimer: I’m not a space nerd. The above is just speculation

    heavy perfume …

    “I don’t care what you smell”

    This is one reason I stopped eating lunch with other people. Some people use so much of Deodorant (oh the irony in the name) that the volatile compounds get adsorbed onto the surface of fluids in the mouth and then get tasted and also go into the stomach. All I’d say is - They taste bad.

    I don’t think those chemicals are supposed to be edible.

    and fill a spray bottle with Lysol that she would spray around to give the smell of a clean bathroom

    Depending upon the formula of Lysol, that’s actually worse than not doing anything.
    We’ve got a brand called Lyzol and that seems to be the same formula as Lysol, before it got regulated in the US. If this were to be sprayed, I’d consider the area poisoned.

    Lyzol

    This contains some chemical that lingers even if you wash the floor with water afterwards and slowly produces volatile compounds, and stays for > a week. This gives me (and a few other people on quora) a headache. Again, from reports on quora, the smelly substance also tends to jump onto one’s hand, on touching the surface, making it disastrous for cooking.
    Nowadays, I use Dettol disinfectant liquid, which stops smelling after about 1/2 hour of wind.
