Bioscoop is a DSL to program FFmpeg’s filtergraphs.
If you’ve ever worked with FFMPEG’s filtergraphs, you’d understand why someone would try to make it easier to use.
8·17 days agoI love the BASIC style labels on each line!
That’s 100% how I read it at first.
READ EVERYTHING CAREFOULY
I guess linux really is going more mainstream, if that’s the more common user experience.
They didn’t say that. They said most users don’t have to. That says literally nothing about how many people do or do not use a GUI versus the command line. All that means is every modern distro has a GUI built in.
It’s like you didn’t even read their previous comments.
What is he pouring out of that bag?
4·24 days agoI don’t know how old the feature is, but you just go to about:profiles. You can create and switch profiles.
Mobian is a port of the Debian distribution, running the mainline Linux kernel, to smartphones and tablets.
5·25 days agoWell, sure, but the C64 had 512 times more RAM(!), plus the VIC-II chip for graphics and the SID for audio. The TIA chip in the Atari was a joke in comparison. The CPU just isn’t that important. It only needs to run some game logic. It’s the graphics and sound that matter for games. The NES and SNES had very similar CPUs[1], too, but the graphics and sound chips are what made the SNES blow away the NES.
Same instruction set, but 16-bit and clocked twice as fast, plus a few more features. ↩︎
I just installed Firefox to test this, and do not have this issue. (I normally use Fennec or IronFox)
I found this page by searching “sign up” and trying random pages to find a form near the bottom.
The page scrolls up normally when tapping the search field at the bottom of the page. I use FUTO keyboard on Android 16.
You made a parallel sentence construction:
- pinholes diffract light.
- lenses refract light.
You directly contrasted them. Refraction is obviously key to how lenses work. So it seemed to me like you were saying that diffraction is key to how pinholes work. 🤷
Only if you know the sun’s size, which kind of presupposes you know its distance.
Pinholes diffract light.
The diffraction effects from a pinhole camera are not what make them work. In fact, diffraction makes the photographs worse than they otherwise would be. The pinhole makes an effective aperture for photography because it’s small size produces small circles of confusion on the film plane. Ideally, you would make the hole as small as possible, but beyond a certain (small) size, defraction becomes the dominant source of blurring. So the size of the pinhole should be chosen to yield the best balance between geometric blur and diffraction blur.
The diffraction is merely a limit to the smallness of the aperture, and not what creates the image.
Learning I only beat half of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and then playing the rest. And then playing it again and again, and finding new crazy weapons I’d never seen before. Learning that some weapons (like Sword of Dawn) do something other than just slash. Later reading GameFaqs .txt guides to learn about even more stuff I had no idea about, so end up playing it even more.
And playing Final Fantasy 7 right before all of that. When the demo disc of Final Fantasy 7 came out (inside a Playstation Underground magazine), I lost my shit. I had loved, loved, loved FF4 and 6 (2 and 3 in the US), and 7 was just insane. The graphics, the music, everything. Absolutely revolutionary. That game was a reason to buy a PS1. I remember maxing out the playtime at 99 hours in my first playthrough.
Unreal Tournament LAN parties.
The retro handheld Discord. A couple retro YouTube reviewers have channels there, including Retro Game Corps.
You spooked me!
