frezik, to memes in Remember when everything was so blocky?

Odd they bring up TIFF. That one is more like a container format that can hold many different types of images.

GIF doesn’t have transparency (Edit: more accurately, ranges of transparency). I thought that was the joke.

That commenter already is the surgeon general of Florida.

I have a randomly generated password for my wifi (mostly historical reasons), but I hang QR codes around for it. Unfortunately, not enough devices support that sort of thing.

You can leave the password blank. Though that does mean anyone driving by your house might have their phone or whatever automatically connect to it. A few devices also don’t seem to like blank passwords (I think the Wii refused to connect that way).

A simple password is fine. Keeps completely random people out, and devices will connect OK. Edge-based security is flawed, anyway.

Jokes on them. WPA2 length limit is 63 characters. It might let you put in one longer than that, but it doesn’t use the extra characters.

Best thing about Voyager was that it kept Berman busy on something else so he could only fuck up DS9 a little bit.

It’s only a big deal because of what Disney didn’t do, which is lobby to extend copyright yet again. That’s it.

Oh, and Steamboat Willy itself can be distributed as much as you want, at least in the US. It’s a good year to be a connoisseur of 1920s animation.

I could have sworn he said he had a legal degree in his home country of Australia, but I can’t find any evidence of it now.

He was sued by Billy, yes, but the charity case is unrelated.

frezik, to asklemmy in Mickey Mouse is now public domain (Steamboat Willie specifically). What do you think we will see this year?

Doing that for Trademark law is why they didn’t bother lobbying for longer copyright this time. They could protect their Mouse trademark without relying on Steamboat Willy like they did before.

Helps that HBomberGuy hasn’t posted endless rounds of response videos. That’s how you milk the drama for views.

Conversely, I’m getting a little tired of Karl Jobst mostly becoming a drama channel against fraudsters like Billy Mitchell or the Open Hand Charity. Those guys do deserve it, but it’s sucking oxygen away from Jobst’s usual commentary on speed running techniques. He’s also working outside his specialty–these are American cases, and he’s a lawyer under Australian law–and not all his claims carry weight.

That’s a myth. Nobody is going to claim Hershey’s is quality chocolate, but they don’t use sour milk. Nor does American chocolate in general.

frezik, (edited ) to linuxmemes in Completely untrue nowadays...

2d printers need to be a lot more precise. 300dpi means each dot is placed with less than a tenth of a mm, and that’s not even particularly impressive for a 2d printer. 3d printers get away with a lot more slop than that.

That’s only talking about greyscale. Color requires precise alignment of the cartridges for at least 4 base colors (higher end photo printers have even more) , and the mix of those colors must be carefully controlled to get accurate output.

As is usually the case for this kind of thing, there are tons of good chocolates from America. They just don’t come from major brand names.

For that matter, Nestlé is Swiss.
