I could have worded my comment more sensitively, I apologize. However, the impulse to create art that aims to better inform the populace of various sufferings is age-old. Victor Hugo wasn't Valjean, but Valjean was based on an incident

In short, image files don't include all RGB colors. They basically include a line like "usesColorSpace: 'RGB'". Only the decoder needs to know how to interpret the RGB colorspace. When you save in image in JPG, it&#

It also reminds me of .hack too, specifically the antagonist Morganna Mode Gone.

I definitely see situations where Gemini wants to be as bandwidth-friendly as possible, and certain clients auto-downloading resources from the same server would make it difficult to estimate costs/resources/etc. However for exter

That's disappointing to hear. It breaks what I would expect from the project's purported server-agent separation. What about user choice?

Definitely a cool idea. I've thought a lot about this idea as I'm sure many others on this post have. A protocol for just HTML/CSS (and a lightweight bridge) could be cool to see. This desire was why I was initially on board

If people specifically sought out your client because it automatically renders images inline, who could be bothered to get upset about a "spec violation"? The author of Gemini? What would he be able to do? Honestly asking because

I would love to hear your problems with Premiere haha. Definitely agreed on the lack of usefulness for dynamic linking. The most I've put Premiere through its paces was a 23-minute short film. I learned a bit of After Effects for it, a

I checked it out and could not wrap my head around Krita tbh. It feels very powerful but focused on solving many different problems, of which photo-manipulation is only one of them. I need to take another look and give it another try, I don

After 15 years, I'm just used to it. Gimp was _usable_ before the same-window toggle (introduced about 2010?), but when they added that I stopped looking at competitors tbh. I wish certain things in Gimp weren't so kludgy (mainly

I remember paying money for Impact.js (HTML5 game engine by PhobosLab) and it was leagues ahead of any rivals for quite a while IIRC. PhobosLab is awesome and it's great to see Dominic Szablewski pushing web-gaming forward to this day.

All it says to me is federal antitrust guidelines are outdated and California's are not. We need strong federal antitrust enforcement. This only worked because Apple is based in California, which has stricter rules.

From my perspective, it was their embeddable video player. You'd see it pop up in other sites, spreading the YouTube name on external sites the web-over. I remember thinking that capability was extremely cool at the time (and built off

I can see the justification for this in Android's early life. Every Android phone having its own app store would have been a disaster for everyone: users, developers, Google, and even telcos in the long run. Hard to believe, but Google

Vicarious Visions handled the Wii versions of Guitar Hero far, far better than the horrible versions of Rock Band available for the system. I'll always appreciate that.
