Just wanted to watch a Blender video demo and unfortuately it was uploaded as HDR. This isn't a problem on non HDR screens but on my MacBook it is burning my retina.
HDR is not a good format for Application UI's the whites of the text and interface are stupid bright so a massive contrast issue.
I shall have to watch it on my Dell monitor. #b3d#Tutorial#Demos#hdr#video
@metin@Shkspr80@FotoVorschlag Nice picture of tranquility.
I for one do miss the quiet of lockdown, the older I get the harder I find it to be amongst people en masse.
As a freelancer in my twenties, I often worked (and played games) all night long, and went to bed when the birds announced sunrise. Then I got up in the early afternoon, and immediately continued work while still in my pajamas.
A friend once gave me a necktie for my birthday, to wear on my pajamas when a client would visit me. 😆
I haven't got a photo of me in my pajamas, but in this magazine interview photo you can clearly see around my eyes that I missed a healthy sleep rhythm. 😅
The Eszett ß character is a beautiful letter that can be read as S or double S as in Straße <> Strasse.
The problem is it isn't in the standard Latin character set and so often causes extremely bizzare rendering when used online.
I tried to enter an address with it in a UK banking app and ended up with total nonsense.
This, in 2024, should not be happening it is in the extended ASCII set and so doesn't even require UTF-8.
Some companies are living in the 80's
@metin@CWernerArt ß sz is certainly the origin of the letter, it is a cursive S and Z together.
So yes, however it was removed from a lot of words in recent spelling reforms here, my wife wasn't happy with those. They changed Ski to Schi for example, an ugly word. I think most still use Ski though 😂
Affinity has been bought by Canva, to compete with Adobe.
It was of course a matter of time before Affinity would outgrow its status of sympathetic small-scale Adobe alternative, and be sold for large proceeds.
Canva is into AI. Hopefully Affinity will get some useful AI-powered image processing tools, like upscalers and denoisers, but Canva will probably add generative shit and introduce subscriptions sooner or later.
Chances are high you know Samuel Barber's beautiful classical piece Adagio for Strings. It has been used in several films, including Platoon.
But not as many people know that there's also a choral variation, called Agnus Dei. Personally, I think that's even more beautiful. Listening to it always gives me goosebumps. Turn up the volume, close your eyes and enjoy...
