  • “GUI makes easy tasks easier, CLI makes hard tasks possible”. I’m a Debian user and lately I haven’t been touching terminal at all, unless it’s an inherently terminal task like programing. My only complaint now is that when I did an grub update my config file got reverted to the defaults. All of a sudden I couldn’t boot to Windows from grub because os-prober got dissabled (I’m dualbooting). Fixing that is not hard, as you only have to uncomment one line in the config, but it’s annoying that it happend.






  • To be fair, starfield could be simply addicting, and addicting doesn’t mean a player can’t find the game underwhelming. I spent a lot of time on cookie clicker and in retrospective it was boring, but I kept playing because the numbers were going up. What saved me was clearing my browser’s cookies (lol) and loosing my progress.



  • I think it’s one of those early color photographs. Basically, a photographer would take three photographs, each with a different color filter. Those photographs were black-and-white, where the value corresponded to the saturation of one of the filter’s colors. They were then projected onto a final image using collotype printing with a different dye for each black-and-white photograph. This process can give you all sorts of colors by mixing three primary colors of dyes, but it’s tricky to make photographs align perfectly. As you can see, there are stripes of cyan, green, and red on the contour of those people, as well as some blur, and that’s because it’s hard to stand still between photographs, or a wind could make your clothes move a little, etc.
