Ok, but I can also just choose the color directly and not set an image as a wallpaper. I appreciate your effort, but what is the advantage here to tiling a PNG?

The first Addams Family movie starts with a Christmas scene and so is set during the Christmas season, but clearly has Halloween vibes throughout. The sequel, Addams Family Values, gets even weirder in this kind of holiday mashup vibe. The kids get sent off to a summer camp, where they are doing a thanksgiving play for some reason. So it’s Halloween vibes throughout, with turkeys and pilgrims, but it takes place during the summer.
At work, all black, because I prefer working in a darkened room and sometimes I need to use the laptop in sunny conditions full of glare. I have no need of any extra light getting blasted at me not directly related to something I’m working on. Also, I get a kick out of the “Why are your other monitors off?” comments. Also, IT tends to clutter my desktop with a bunch of shortcuts with a hodgepodge of icon styles, it’s a lot easier to visually parse these on a black field.
At home, the media server is directly connected to a TV with HDMI and has a desktop environment. My distributions default wallpapers always come in two varieties, colorful or greyscale. The server automatically logs into a restricted user account for family access to Kodi, retro arch, web browsing, etc., which has the colorful wallpaper. If for some reason I need to get into the admin account with a GUI, the desktop wallpaper is grey. It’s like an always-on simplified color coded whoami. Since I almost never interact with this machine except through ssh or the services it hosts, this is the most amount of ricing I’m willing to do.
This gives me God Emperor of Dune vibes.
I think it’s more like this…
Angel: “Push it over the edge and watch it fall.”
Devil: “Drink from it after giving yourself a thorough self cleaning and leave the area before they notice.”
They should hide somewhere in the game itself the real credits of the people that spent significant effort to make the game. An Easter Egg if you will. Like just after defeating the dragon, you find a scroll in their horde with the real credits.
Just another way to dehumanize.
They work great until they don’t. I’ve had the same experience, be prepared to replace it occasionally because it’s usually near impossible to disassemble and clean the pump mechanism completely.
I use the word pardon because there are lots of local Spanish speakers, tourist/seasonal French Canadian speakers, and occasionally tourists from farther abroad around and I’d rather be understood than pretend everyone speaks English. When speaking to strangers, like when I’m asking forgiveness for being an inconvience to them or trying to politely get someone’s attention, preferring loan words that really don’t need translation in order to be understood just seems like good citizenship and also more kind.
We figured it out in the last millennium, I think we can figure it out again.
The real reason would probably be that you’d need to make the soles out of rubber again instead of the cheap foam that almost all modern (fast fashion disposable) shoes are made with these days.
Sorry if these are cliche.
They are trapped in an artificial reality. They (the characters in the show, not the real people) didn’t do a full loop. They went straight out and got dimensional flipped back inside
Sounds like something a sea lion would say.
The diffraction effects from a pinhole camera are not what make them work.
I didn’t say this, you did. You’re chasing your own tail.
Is this wit or a genuine request that one of us explainsthejoke.com?
The ratio of the size of the image to the distance from the pinhole is the same as the ratio of the size of the sun to the distance to the sun.
A pinhole camera has no lens. The effect here is like a pinhole camera, but a pinhole camera is nothing at all like a lens. Pinholes diffract light. Lens refract light.
EDIT: Of course you can’t resolve an image through diffraction. That’s not how pinholes cameras work. Diffraction negatively impacts image resolution, but it absolutely happens when light passes through them. But, although lens do use refraction to resolve an image, that same process also has unintended negative effects on image resolution (spherical aberration, chromatic aberration, etc.). I didn’t bring up any of that because it was ultimately a distraction from the important part: narrow gaps diffract light, lens refract light, and pinhole cameras do not work like lens.
Either way, you can put passengers in the back of an SUV, but not in the bed of a truck (without breaking laws or being totally unsafe).
I’m not complaining, just thought you knew something that I didn’t. That’s why I asked.
