  The p is for potential, as in potential Hydrogen. pH can be used to establish a concentration of protium (H+) in solution. When learning about pH in school, we used pOH (potential hydroxide) as well to speak about bases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony will be releasing "MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL" on 4K Ultra HD on August 26.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can, its been done before. 35mm film with a sufficiently small grain size can reach resolutions over 5k, close to 6k.

  A few years ago there was the 4k77 project which took probably cinematic reels of A New Hope and scanned them in at 4k. At that resolution, film grain was beginning to become visible, but given the high degradation of those specific film reels it isn’t surprising there were artifacts after the scans. With properly preserved film negatives you could do significantly better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony will be releasing "MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL" on 4K Ultra HD on August 26.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hopefully this will turn out better than 4K77. Not that 4k77 was bad, its just pretty clear that the film they had access to was pretty heavily degraded when they did their scans

  If you patch your homebrew ROMs with the 80minute cd patch you can load them in pcsx2. In this case I believe you’ll have full color regardless of if the ROMs are made for PAL or NTSC

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨take me back 😭⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m most familiar with PS1 Homebrew, its almost all available under the “Net Yaroze” name.

  Without a Net Yaroze ps1, you’ll need a TonyHAX/freePSXboot memory card to boot the games. TonyHAX unlocks the region by resetting the disc drive into an unlocked state after Boot. As a consequence, this also allows homebrew titles and less than legitimate copies of titles to boot. Don’t use this for piracy, that would be iLleGaL.

  Archive.org has 3 Net yaroze game jams available, one of which has 83 titles but they usually render black and white. There is also Fromage, a ps1 demake for Minecraft (barely functional, but neat to show friends)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any plot arcs, or missed opportunities from any TV series that were abandoned that you think should've been picked up or continued?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ATLA: It is never addressed on screen, but I’d like to know (for sure) more about the origin of Tai Ly. The eye color and head shape indicate she’s descended from the air nomads, the only other character with those eye color and head shape is Aang.

  I think it’d make a great 2 episode arc or perhaps even address it in one of the books/comics where she came from. Because “I ran away to the circus because too many siblings” just isn’t a sufficient answer for a character who is clearly an air nomad living in exile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨take me back 😭⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can at least have the gaming!

  IA has most games from that era archived and most consoles can be softmodded to play totally legally aquired backups that absolutely are not archived copies of games

  Why AI meme?

  No hate to AI or image generation, they have their purposes, but why AI meme?

  This is a 2 minute sketch, TBH I might be able to make this by hand faster than any of my locally deployed AI models.

  Dont say its a skill thing, I’ve seen literal stick figure drawings on lined paper get upvoted to frontpage here on Lemmy.

  Expiration dates are literally made up, very infrequently will any actual testing be done to see the exact time it takes for a food to decay enough to be either unenjoyable, unpalatable or inedible.

  They’re usually 1 week from mfgr for unpreserved foods, 2 weeks to a month for soft foods like American sandwich bread, 3 months to a year for dry goods (depending on what it is) and up to several years for canned goods.

  My salt has an expiration date. Salt is a rock, it is millions of years old (not sea salt, mined salt). It does not expire.

  Tetris effect connected.

  It made game of the year for a reason.

  I’m still early in the research phases but so far the plan is a combined client for Galene and Mastadon. The current plan is to rip apart the apps as they exist and pull out the chunks useful for my needs, then build a basic webapp to interface with them that I can share with my friends.

  Ideally I’d like to eventually roll out a docker image of the server stack as well so anyone can host it with just a couple clicks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m already working on a tool to replace discord for my gaming group. Planning on rolling out a stack of open source IM and Voice/Video chat with ActivityPub for text chat rooms.

  Integrating them all into one app is where I’ll have trouble, especially since when replacing big corpo tools they need to work perfectly the first time or nobody willvdver want to use it.

  I’ve been arguing for a while that AI will change the art landscape, and I mostly get hate for it. I’m an artist, I use AI as a springboard for inspiration, feeding nonsense into prompts and making sense of the garbage it sends back fit’s nicely into my entropy focused creation process.

  A good artist will be able to pick up a tool and learn to create with it. Anyone can make a prompt and slap an image down with an AI model but it takes an artist to make art with one. Same with brushes though, or pens or pencils. Any jagoff can pick up a set of brushes and lay paint on a canvas but it takes an artist to make art with them.

  I disagree that it’s pointless. I think it may be beneficial to humanity (eventually) to establish whether or not there is an objective reality which we all experience.
