- Comment on Why are some shows so dark? 1 week ago:
I’ve noticed this problem with a lot of media made in the past decade. I think Netflix’s ‘Ozark’ is one of the worst examples. In almost every indoor scene the lights are off or very dim.
However, I got an oled screen this year, and it’s helped a lot with dim scenes. I’m guessing hollywood is calibrating for expensive high contrast screens like oled and mini-led?

“But How Do It Know? - The Basic Principles of Computers for Everyone” by J Clark Scott. It’s a short self published book aimed at laypersons written in a very simple, sort of conversational style. Through the whole book he guides you to building a functioning computer that does some bitwise operations. I built most of the computer in a simulator program called Logism (cburch.com/logisim/).
I’d recommend it if you’re looking for an easy introduction to the topic. It was a fun read for me. Get the print version; some of the diagrams in the Kindle version are badly compressed.

- Comment on The Uncanny Ancient Monkey that Roamed Europe Before Humans [10:05] 2 months ago:
This is not an AI generated channel. This channel has been posting videos in this format for 6 years now, (eg youtu.be/1sjPGo_6unY) long predating AI made infotainment.
The visuals are comprised of stock footage and artist impressions, but they’re not AI generated; you can see on some illustrations he credits the artists.
And they only post a few times a month; AI channels post several times a week.
This format (visuals and narration) has been common among science topic YouTube channels for over a decade. Unfortunately AI spam channels have appropriated this format and now legitimate channels are being incorrectly confused with them.

- Comment on UFO/UAP Close Technosignatures — New Information on the Palomar Transients 2 months ago:
The video is merely summarizing new scientific research into night sky anomalies found in data recorded prior to the launch of the first human made satellites. Apparently the data suggests the presence of objects in orbit of Earth reflecting light from the sun. They’re not saying it’s proof of aliens but it is curious.

I had the same sandwich (Dave’s Hot Chicken reaper sandwich). I assumed it was just a marketing stunt. After one bite I had to go back and get a milkshake so I could sip it between bites to finish the damn sandwich.

- Comment on "My HOA Sent Me GORE PHOTOS After Complaining About the AirBnbs" [5:39] 4 months ago:
I interpreted that as the guy didn’t know what the reason was yet.
I initially thought the HOA was implying physical towards their residents with the images, but on second viewing it looks like the HOA board originally received those images in their inbox. (If you pause and zoom in you’ll see those images came from anonymous senders to the HOA.) Maybe the HOA is claiming one of the residents threatened the HOA board with those images?

- Comment on Why do Conservatives physically look evil? 4 months ago:
Conservatives will think the same about any public figure who’s any degree to the left. It’s just a human cognitive bias at play that we’re all susceptible to. If you think someone is a shitty person, that’s going to cause you to overemphasize whatever physical features you find negative about them. The danger of this is that you might in turn start using those negative features as an unreliable heuristic to judge the character of other people before you even get to really know them.
The different fashion/makeup trends among people across the political spectrum can also come into play similarly.
There are conventionally unattractive public figures on the left too, but if you know beforehand that they’re on your “team”, you probably won’t even take particular notice to these “defects”. In some mirror universe where MTG was as far left as AOC, you’d probably wouldn’t think she looked “evil”.

- Comment on Entirely too many questions about Mastodon. So sorry. 4 months ago:
Generally you post onto the public “federated” timeline. With Mastodon this timeline contains posts from many different Mastodon servers that are all federated with each other, but it appears as one single timeline.
Hashtags are really central to the Mastodon experience. There is no algorithm that automatically suggests posts and accounts like on mainstream centralized services. Instead you gotta purposely use hashtags to discover posts and people. Add descriptive hashtags to your posts, the more the better. This helps people searching for specific topics find your posts.
You can follow people and they can follow you. Posts from people you follow will appear on your home feed. You can also follow hashtags and posts containing those hashtags will appear in your home feed. At the moment there’s no official support for communities like with Lemmy; following hashtags on topics you like is the closest you can get to that functionality. (You can also make separate lists of hashtags outside of your home feed).
The people and interests on Mastodon has a lot of overlap with Lemmy.
