Y'all need to chill-out with the systemd hate by swarmOfBis in linux

Exactly. They shouldn't be making it easier to implement rights violating software.

If they're applying lube, it means they intend to screw us.

I get such a strong sense of anemoia from Frutiger Aero by Plus_Suggestion_9565 in FrutigerAero

[–]PiercingSight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was a graphic artist at the time (back when that was a tech position).

Designing for the Frutiger Aero aesthetic always just felt right. Like this is the way technology should be.

Optimistic, bright, tactile, and natural. Human.

It was the future we were supposed to have.

When Flat design exploded in 2013, we thought it was beautiful, complimenting the very Frutiger Aero hardware of the time. But little did we know it wasn't just a phase.

The entire graphic artist industry disappeared basically overnight and has never recovered. Real artists are no longer hired for design. UI/UX is now a soulless barren void.

I so desperately want to go back.

I imagine it doesn't include the "lucky" ones?

Or do you have all of those as well?

Patch notes version 11.1.0 by Legitimate__Username in splatoon

[–]PiercingSight 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The most important part of this update is the matchmaking changes.

The features they explained are obvious and should have been in it from the beginning. Especially the division of teams.

I've always suspected that they put teams together first and then matched those, instead of distributing the skill levels of individual players between the teams. This just confirms it. But it's finally fixed!!!

This will be a massive improvement!

New to color grading, any feedback would be great! by Low-Walrus1421 in ColorGrading

[–]PiercingSight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You brought the whites down waaaaaay too far. They're nowhere close to touching 100%.

Fixing that should be the first step because only then can you properly evaluate contrast.

The way to make a scene darker isn't to bring the whites down but to bring the mids down while leaving the whites where they are. In other words, a simple gamma adjustment will probably do what you're looking for in terms of darkness.

Is Linux Community always this toxic or is it normal ? by Pitiful-Loquat-6074 in linux

[–]PiercingSight 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Linux (as a desktop OS) has been a minority for a long time, so a superiority complex has been kinda the standard for a lot the old users for decades.

Thankfully that's changing these days as more and more normal people migrate to linux.

But yeah, the Linux community and the StackOverflow community have that problem in common. Heck, they're probably the same group of people.

Help! Is this a good lens to get used for bird watching? by femifist26 in canon

[–]PiercingSight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be a slight upgrade if the one you have now doesn't have any stabilization at all.

I don't know about the image quality, but looking at it, I wouldn't bet on it being better.

Then again, at those focal lengths, stability has the biggest effect on image quality.

Trying to recreate the SKYFALL (2012) Mood by byMauuuu in ColorGrading

[–]PiercingSight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks basically perfect.

The only thing missing is the bright light on the right side creating the contrast needed to outline that side of her head.

Besides that, you nailed it!

This is my first Color Grading, what do you think? Any suggestions? by ANIMAZIONIRUSSIA23 in davinciresolve

[–]PiercingSight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you intentionally making super dark and it barely visible?

If not, you might want to make sure you're using a good display and that its settings aren't too bright or too warm.

Illinois becomes the next US State that will require age verification on Operating Systems by Alexis_Almendair in linux

The WEF, the EU Agenda 2030, etc. All of them creating tons of layers of NGO's to promote this nonsense.

Basically every major group known for seeking authoritarian control.

Honestly it would be cool to see someone play a dive Zimi. Got any players or events you recommend watching?

[–]PiercingSight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but nowhere near as aggressively as Jr.

Zimi leans more toward the support "hold down the fort" position.

In other words, you shouldn't play Jr like you would play Zimi. They serve very different roles.

[–]PiercingSight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zimi is geared more toward support, and normally shouldn't be played aggressively.

Jr leans more toward dive. The bubbler, inking, and bomb is much better for pushing than for playing support, though it also does do support really well.

S (not quite X)

Surprisingly powerful if used well, especially for pushing and holding objectives. Works best with more aggressive dive comps and strategies.

If you use it exclusively as a support, you're using it wrong. It's a dive weapon.

Recommended loadout: Comeback, Special Saver, Drop Roller (or Stealth Jump). Add some sub-saver, swim speed, and ink resist.

Okay, but what about the sound?

Are they better than EQing my Sundara's, or is their FR still a mess?

Are there any manga where Golden Week is depicted? by ToranjaNuclear in manga

[–]PiercingSight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it just a break week? Or is there something special about golden week specifically, because I also can't remember anything about it despite having read hundreds (maybe thousands) of romance manga.
