3 months agoThere is a MMO called Metin2 which has been really popular in the 2000s. No one knew why it was called 2, if there ever was a 1 or will ever be a 3.

Maybe they are an uncountable set
9·9 months agoIt’s more than that honestly, or less, depending on the perspective. Most people share their data with “only our 900 bestliest partners” or more everyday. Every tweet, login, whatever metadata can be more valuable and easier to compute than voice or video, depending on what you are looking for.
6·9 months agoI’m by no means an artist, but I’ve done quite some UI/UX design, so I’ll try to give my 2 cents about colors here. You may or may not agree since i usually try to go for simpler / pragmatic approaches (not to confuse my users lol) and your painting has a lot of depth to it:
passepartout
The most obvious choice, also matching your frame, would be just plain white, but it may be a harsh contrast to the darkness of your painting (which may be preferable). Choosing an off-white / linen color may soften the contrast and match the feathers a little better. I would avoid a black one since the subject already is framed in black for the most part, and it would kind of swallow the painting or make it appear smaller than it is. So gray was chosen, maybe going for availability at the moment of framing. For this exact one though, it may give off “document container in an 80s office” vibes at first glance since it seems to have a yellowish / greenish tint to it (may also just be the camera / lighting). So maybe even a fresh (more neutral / less saturated / darker / lighter / maybe even light blueish) gray one after all.
frame
Depending on what the painting means to you, you may also look for a new frame. I think a black neutral frame would fit pretty well. Maybe even a more pompous one in a dark wood tone or golden, but that could get too much pretty fast since your painting is pretty detailed already.
Spoiler to my username below. Looking at your username, you look like a “bad dog” to me lol (one of my favourite movies tbh). It’s just an alter ego on a niche internet platform eventually though (:
passepartout
(as in french ‘passer’ = going, ‘partout’ = through everything) mostly is two things to me:
- An inner frame of cardboard, which is making the viewer focus the painting itself, shifting focus away from the outside world (especially the frame), while also following more pragmatic approaches like fitting it into frames of different sizes and protecting it from sticking to the glass.
- A general / master key, “going through everything” so to speak, through every door, gateway or even cryptographic measure applied.
Combining these, you could get a lot of things, which is also just an expression of what I find interesting or important.- A general real world application to “encryption”, apart from the cryptographic one in IT, which helps people to grow their personality since being able to do things for yourself covertly is a big part of developing more nuanced parts of your identity (see the top bar of the passepartout in my profile picture, it has a universal quantifier and a lock in it, as in “secrecy / encryption for everyone”). Identity by definition means seperating something or yourself from others though, while by sharing everything of yourself at any time you may lose your identity completely, so moderation is key i guess.
- A “frame” creating a distance or seperating yourself from the outside world for a moment, which also lets you take a step back in a current world where enforced instant reactions to everything are the new normal. Taking your time to rethink news, messages, topics of interest from time to time might change your perception and let you react differently instead of falling for clickbait and populism. Nonviolent communication, although a little dated in some regards, aims to help communicate pragmatically and understand the world and people around you instead of condemning them for what can be read between the lines.
- A “master key” might also be interpreted as a general right and implementation to access unaltered plain information and empiric / scientific infered knowledge. Although the end user / receiver will (hopefully) always be responsible to interpret a given piece information, a “frame” or barrier protecting netural information might help a lot. Since I like the topic of identity, I’d recommend reading “Identity: A very short introduction”. Or one of the other ~800 very short introductions of the Oxford university press, I think they are kinda neat.

21·9 months agoMusic has changed. Its more about single tracks with shorter playtime now because of the algorithms calculating the payout for the artist.
At least Orca Slicer works fine for me in Wayland.
Screen sharing is a great example. I used to have issues with it, but since about a year I’m able to share my screen in the MS teams PWA in Firefox and even the Discord flatpak without a hassle.
Do you have some examples? Most things I (and others) do are in the category “showing a desktop”, multiple desktops with different resolution / scaling / refresh rate, maybe opening a virtual monitor using krfb.
Wayland has been a complete game changer for me regarding performance and reliability (as soon as it hit a certain stability lol).
You’re absolutely right! Here is a recommendation for companies to invest in that produce fake eyelashes for car headlights:
I live in ya pan.
Resistance is futile.
Nice try, but number 5 is a raven.
It’s a tale as old as software development itself: Fuck around with your license, find out by getting replaced by a fork.
Although Redis came back and reversed the relicensing one year later lol:

Those are rookie numbers
I’ve heard maintainers getting spammed with AI generated Issues and stuff. This is just a stupid meme from some weeks ago, trying to merge some Anime ASCII Art into the Kernal Panic log message, because the kernel should be more weeb-friendly.
You’re right, Linux Kernel development happens on an own cgit instance. Given how much Linus loves distraction, he’d be better off by not looking into Github at all.
That’s a good point, I was just thinking it was something about the millennium / year 2000 and onwards. Not sure if there was any lore at all or if I just didn’t understand it since the game is from South Korea originally.
