This one gets weirder the more you look. There’s the guy typing on an imaginary keyboard (or using an invisible mouse), the fact that no-one really has any eyes, or that dark character who’s got some device suspended in front of his face?

and back up again, like a yo-yo.

They’re back!

e: err, 3 days ago. I wasn’t paying attention I guess

I wonder if it’s reflecting the dogs playing poker image:

I did cherry pick this one tbh, but most of them have different types (and colours) of dogs.

AI gets the joke that was a bit obscure even by the 90s when I first read those books.

The more I look, the weirder it gets.

It kinda looks like it’s been painted, which is a fun twist on pixel art.

I was surprised to see the artifacts when I looked at the full-sized image - even though I shouldn’t’ve been cos AI gonna AI.

It’s really cool that it understands that it should look blocky, but not that the blocks should be aligned on a grid. It’s accidentally been way more creative with the brief than if it’d emulated pixel art better.

A tiny fraction of their users paying upfront (remember opportunity cost of money) is hardly going to doom them to insolvency.

Look at this way - investors give money to a company now to receive money later. They risk capital now in exchange for future rewards. Lifetime subscribers pay a large fixed amount now to receive free service later. Same thing.

I do miss that really detailed block download page, but that’s only cos I’d watch it instead of doing something useful with my life.

Perhaps some Youtube’s done a video on it… I feel like I’ve seen a headline or link saying something like “Why Paul is underrated” recently.

I didn’t know there was an extended version, do the extra 6 minutes add anything? Maybe not

This should be be a local link for most: !opencracks@lemmy.dbzer0.com

catch and release

Brilliant phrase! I’m an archiver myself partly because it takes me ages to watch things, and partly because some things get returned to again and again. I could definitely do with a cull, but it’s easier to commit to more storage.

Good question. I assume it’s DHT delivering peers that aren’t in the tracker(s), or maybe a problem with the tracker(s).

The format’s “# connected (# total)” in every client I’ve seen.

I’m out of the loop here, what’s this about?

Handbrake isn’t recommended any more? That’s what I’d used for my ripping. By original quality, you mean extracting the the mpeg-2 or just that Handbrake did bad transcoding?
