I'm beautiful and tough like a diamond...or beef jerky in a ball gown.

  • I get that it isn't the same but when all you have is a garbage version of a memory, I'm not sure or really matters whether the representation is the original garbage or something that makes you feel less regret over not having something better.

    In my experience, the worse the photograph the better my memory of it. Probably because my mind is already used to filling in the blanks in the garbage version, so it's constantly refreshing the memory in my mind to keep it vivid. YMMV obviously. I'm also not much of a shutterbug and prefer to commit moments to memory than try to fight with my phone to snap a photo I'll probably never look at.

  • Are you able to tag the appliances after you've huffed all the freon out? I've got an old fridge in the basement I need to get rid of but can't until I get someone out to extract the freon and put the evacuation certification tag on it.

    DM me if you can help.

  • I'm currently near the end of season 2, and I think the closest so far is the drag queen jazz band lol. Definitely handled well, especially for the time.

  • As far back as TV goes, really.

    The Andy Griffith Show seemed like it was always playing in our house growing up, and that's from the 50s. I dream of Jeannie and Bewitched were from the 60s and hold up pretty well (though the tropes there are really tired these days such as the "boss coming over for dinner" plots).

    Cheers definitely holds up as does Frasier, and Malcolm as well. Totally forgot Coach existed, but I remember it being somewhat amusing though I never sat down and watched it. May give it another try.

  • What client do you use on Android?

    Jump

  • I used to use Element for Android but it would always screw up the encryption keys in group chats, so I went to SchildiChat and it's been fantastic.

  • Apparently my body is on a 26 hour day because it's not in the mood at all during the current 24 hours.

    Sure would be nice if parents would decide to parent their own kids instead of making it everyone else's problem.

  • Ah. Okay. I use a client that handles YT embeds so that's why then. However, when I'm on a VPN, sometimes it puts me through an endless captcha loop.

  • Linux PDF viewer with accessibility checking?

    Jump

  • Looks promising, thanks. Gonna download and play around with it now.

    You'd think the standard PDF viewers in Linux (Okular, etc) would at least show you alt text but nope. Seems like a huge omission.

  • Unfortunately, that seems to only work when exporting from a LibreOffice doc. What I'm having to deal with are PDFs generated by various staff already in PDF format.

  • NGL, it's kinda creepy.

    Edit: I feel bad for the flippant answer, so here's a more involved one.

    If it's just an academic curiosity, I can understand that. Like, if you're just wondering what all the fuss is about and how some people get sucked in and all that. OTOH, if you're just lonely and trying to fill that void, please don't try to date an LLM.

  • Why is it that when the graphics driver freaks out in your browser when watching a video, the page always turns this specific shade of green?

    Jump

  • Not an answer to your question, merely an amusing anecdote, but Windows used to use a green screen (different shade though) to render videos.

    "The media player program didn't render the video pixels to the screen," ... Instead, Windows would render a green screen (or a different color, depending on the version), then "render the video pixels to a graphics surface shared with the graphics card." The final step was to "tell the graphics card that whenever it sees a green pixel about to be written to the screen, it should substitute a pixel from that shared graphics surface."

    --Windows used to secretly use green screens to render videos, which is how you could trick MS Paint into becoming a video player
