The wavelength has negligible effect on shadow geometry. What do you mean? Also, sunlight and daylight is pretty much the same thing.

Not a genius. This thing is called a monogram, the most basic logo design. Used mostly by couples, law firms and couples’ law firms.

It does not help that some people pronounce LED as “led”, or “ice” in Slavic languages. And “led lampa” is a homonym of “letlampa” (bunsen torch).
- Comment on lightbulbs 1 day ago:
I’m not saying it’s a bad idea, I have a red bulb too. It’s “handmade” by removing thick red rubber from a “golf ball” decorative 7W CFL and stretching it over a similarly-sized 6W 2700K LED that has instant start and higher light output. It is not as monochromatic as pure red LEDs, I think it’s close to what the phosphor-based red ones emit but those are marketed as cicardian too. I have to avoid ooking straight into it though: the pupil is wide open because rods don’t react strongly to red light so long-wavelength (red) cones get massively overloaded and you see a green spot for a while.
- Comment on lightbulbs 1 day ago:
The difference is not as pronounced as in the picture. If you’re used to 4000K as neutral white, yellowish white is 3000K, amber-ish white is 2700K. Only below the temperature of fire (cca 1500K) is when blue fully disappears and you get actual orange or red. And pure yellow is not a possible black body (incandescence) spectrum (that is, it does not correspond to any color temperature) so even though you can set an RGB bulb to that, buy monochromatic yellow LEDs or go under a low-pressure sodium vapor lamp, such lighting feels unnatural.
- Comment on lightbulbs 1 day ago:
Warm white is usually 1800 K to 3000 K. What you showed is less Kelvin than the color temperature of fire (1500 K). We don’t have a color temperature word for that, but “red” works. Of course, such light has no blue component (helps control the cicardian cycle) and is pretty much monochromatic with CRI of <5.
- Comment on lightbulbs 1 day ago:
“You want cold white or warm white?”
“I need a cold light source, like an LED. I’m afraid the fixture would melt if I put incandescent in there.” (Yes, some E14 fixtures in cheap plastic bathroom mirrors etc. only take up to 10-20 W and have a warning sticker)
“What, higher temperature is colder?” (It’s not their fault though that in nature, white and blue things 🧊 are generally colder than yellow and orange things 🔥)
- Comment on lightbulbs 1 day ago:
This scale feels wrong. 4000K is neutral white and should have no hue. Of course, that depends subjectively on what the light around is. 6000K should only be in the center if you’re outside a lot. And the difference between 6000K and 10000K is greatly exaggerated. Not even the visible portion of “infinite” Kelvin is that blue if 6000K is calibrated to white.

You’re right, at that size the AI is not very concerning either.

Do your and your partner’s names both start with L?
- Comment on My self hosted badges of honor 2 days ago:
Thanks, those give me ideas for making more operator logos like these (No AI but mostly CC0 (public domain) because my creative input is questionable, some are just tracing of scaled-down images with a few touch-ups; I’m not too concerned about sharing non-FOSS trademarks under a permissive licence at such low res)
- Comment on My self hosted badges of honor 2 days ago:
In that way, yes, but the logos that feature small text (Groovy, Lua) didn’t turn out well at all.

What is the “LL” monogram in the second one? I crudely recreated it to reverse-image-search but got no results.

- Comment on My self hosted badges of honor 2 days ago:
Looking closely at Perl, it seems there are photorealistic (hard to tell if AI) photos toned blue, abstract shapes that might be edited/vectorized photos, and in the bottom right there’s a bead necklace that’s an AI giveaway. Well spotted, it was indeed made using AI-generated images!
- Comment on My self hosted badges of honor 2 days ago:
FOSS source is here.
That’s not the source, that’s its output. We don’t know how you sourced the images used in each triangular tile: generated to best correspond with AI? Matching pieces from Wikimedia Commons photos?
- Comment on My self hosted badges of honor 2 days ago:
This is not an AI-generated pic, it’s a photo taken with a real camera. The logos, however, are hexagons divided into 24 triangles each, and these triangles contain often thematically related (e. g. lions for Brave) photos or photorealistic AI images (the info I found online does not state either way) cropped to best correspond to what the triangle would contain if it just had the original logo. Basically, that corner of the whale surrounded by white was taken from a face photo (or AI pic).

Japanese toilets have heated seats, warm bidets, disinfectant, maybe active suction, mood lighting, speakers, USB ports, Wi-Fi and whatnot.
What I’m talking about is being able to continuously control the water amount with the depth or duration of the “flush” button/lever press, which is a requirement to get an eco rating in my country, and such toilets have been common for decades. I think the similarly common 2-amount flush systems have a lesser eco rating and 1-amount flush systems are banned in most new installations.

To this day, you can’t change measurement units in Word Online. I have Czech language, timezone, locale etc. and it’s still inches. My grandma’s Word 1997 with Clippy can do that.

Uppercase letters in succession don’t work in cursive. And almost nobody uses lowercase numbers, even back then.

That sentence doesn’t convey grammatical aspect, resulting in people’s very different understanding (startup or continuous sound?)

It’s presumably a showerthought by someone drunk or speaking bad English edited into Garfield as a shitpost, which I find funnier than most memes (see also the pelican mouth copypasta). The fact that it was referenced on Technology Connections did play a part of me quoting it, too.
- Comment on No low ballers, I know what I have 4 days ago:
Me too. I wonder if the hardening of “s” is something we got from the Germans, although we don’t have that other substitution they do (cukr-Zucker).
- Comment on No low ballers, I know what I have 4 days ago:
Correct, but the hardening of written “s” into a spoken “z” is about equally common. Then, some words have the “vz-” prefix, which some mix up with “s-” or “z-” too, and even “zvláštní” (means “strange” and has no prefix) gets misread as “vzláštní” extremely often.
