Me too. Whenever I get a complement on it from a stranger I instantly know we will get along.

It’s not round, but it’s not flat either!

Integrated development environment, or a glorified code editor. Your welcome for introducing you to the phobia.

I am glued to my IDE more often than not, including weekends. Lemmy is my little respite to get a random sampling of posts on all kinds of topics. Don’t get me wrong, I think AI generated images are pretty fascinating. It’s just that some can trigger a trypophobia type response with their eerie realism.

I really wish these nightmare fuel AI images were tagged NSFW.

Next button bug? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Is it just me or does tapping Lemmy’s “next” button at the bottom of the page incorrectly open the last post like 20% of the time? My thumb may be fat, but I don’t think it’s that fat…

I’m really bad at arithmetic so it took me two years to do the calculations, but the math does check out.

When I first moved to Japan over twenty years ago they were already about a hundred years ahead of typical US toilet/bath technology. For me, using one of these faucets where you can just set the temperature by number was like Liko getting beamed from her hut directly onto the damn Enterprise.

Can they add a little speaker and have it play some smooth jazz when unzipping?

That headline got me really excited before I realized they meant “in an app”.

If this was filmed in the late sixties using an older orthicon camera it might be an artifact of the way that the image is produced.

I'm just going from memory, but I believe the tubes used a brightness-amplifying screen kept charged with electrons that, when struck by light, would result in a brighter image that could be scanned by a beam. The downside of this technique is that a very bright area would suck up electrons from around it faster than they could recharge, resulting in a dark halo.

I think I remember some of the oldest classic Doctor Who episodes has this visual artifact, as well as some old Beatles TV recordings.
