Everyone can set up a redirector to open YouTube links in their favourite instance. NewPipe and Grayjay open YouTube links automatically. It is way more difficult to do vice-versa because you’d need a list of instances or more detailed link analysis.

To whom? Who will then fund Chromium? Also, what will happen to Firefox now Google can no longer fund 88% of Mozilla with their bribes?

I imagine if I were near Antares and looked the other way, it would very much look like night.

I like the corona though.

People have indeed thought this before telescopes. You’ll most likely see diffraction patterns around bright lights because of eyelashes and other imperfections, probably different for each eye but the same for all lights (technically, wavelength also matters but not really on this scale).

It’s always day if you’re a star. Or night?

Not really a bad question. The diffraction spikes have been corrected for.

In a hospital I’ve been to, there is a skeleton poster by the MRI machine manufacturer (I think Siemens) that smugly says “without imaging techniques we wouldn’t know”. Apparently, it’s not just internet randos who forget. Too bad I can’t find it online.

I don’t mind seeing vids with small numbers (many are genuinely cool) but I avoid 500k and above (except music) because the mainstream is mostly clickbait.

It’s a joke, note the conflation of port (physical connector) and port (one of 65536 virtual pathways for applications). Also, HTTP(S) (port 80 or 443 by default) is literally “Hypertext Transfer Protocol” so it’s fair to say it was designed to carry HTML.

What is the

It’s an LLM. Are they just going after buzzwords? I don’t want to talk with my car about what the best (paying most to Google Maps placement) pizzeria around is, I’ll decide that before the cab arrives. Just let me pick the address or coordinates and shut up.

- Comment on Sadam Hussein is everywhere 2 months ago:
Someone should make a qBittorrent plugin that adjusts a torrent’s speed limit continuously to draw shapes on the other person’s speed chart for one-on-one transfers. Ideally, so that the curve peak is your bandwidth and the area under the curve is the total data volume of the transfer.
- Comment on Original Super Mario Bros. Fan Port Now on Game Boy Color 2 months ago:
Rearrange, not rescale, which would be neccessary for a non-multiple-of-8 tile size. I originally thought it was ¾ size (12×12), which would need to shift graphics data to cram 2 virtual tiles into 3 physical ones. Of course, scaling would also look terrible, everything needs to be hand-drawn.
- Comment on Original Super Mario Bros. Fan Port Now on Game Boy Color 2 months ago:
SMB on the NES and the DX port share graphics with a 16x16 tile size. Therefore, only 10x9 tiles can be shown at once, as opposed to 16x14. The small FOV and resulting camera tilt was very frustrating, especially with the Lost Levels.
This port scales the graphics down to the GB’s resolution. I imagine it takes a lot of CPU cycles just to rearrange the graphics data into the Game Boy’s 8x8 tile structure in display RAM. Either that, or it’s precomputed and the ROM is huge.
