I don't, it's just speculation, hence "most likely". I see similar handwriting and not a very plausible problem.

*Bandstop filters

Shouldn't the FCC have a say in this?

Both? Are they combined into a hybrid port that works with either protocol?

The anon got it wrong. These are ">" or "greater than" symbols, not arrows, although they look like arrowheads. They are used to signal a quote, which makes the text green on 4chan or inside a quote block on other platforms. In 4chan culture, the resulting greentext is not a quote, it has a meaning of its own.

The actual implication arrow, used in mathematical logic for statements like "if A, then B" or "A implies B", is "⇒" or "rightwards double arrow" in Unicode. Using ASCII characters, it can be written as "=>".

Palau, Tuvalu, and Micronesia do not evoke much significance

Well, that's why I kinda sorted the list by "relevance". Still, you should at least mention top 5-6 opposers if you're going to bother with any abstainers.

There's no teacher. Everything on that paper was most likely written by a single person.

Would only work if the numerator was 𝑛 + sin 𝑥

What's funny is that lots of people outside Prague are racist and most of them make no effort to hide it. Our nation very much prides itself in dark humor and very few topics are taboo, we even have racial and Auschwitz jokes. However, most people are oblivious to what's happening in the area so even if you made a really good point for Palestine and composed it into a joke, it's not going to resonate with any audience. Maybe university students (though a great deal of them are pro-Israel so you might get cringey faces and boos).

It is possible none of us will live to see Czechia vote against the interest of Israel as all parties support it and there is pretty much no organized pro-Palestine movement. Israel says we're their top partners in the eastern hemisphere, which means a lot because most countries are in the eastern hemisphere, including itself. At least, aid toward them is not nearly as popular among politicians and citizens as for Ukraine (we have a sizable, well-behaved Ukrainian minority already and took the most refugees per capita at the height of the crisis).

As for why pretty much every politician is either oblivious or bootlicking Israel: see my comment under a post about the shredder escapade 4 months ago

With the interlace filter, make sure you get the field order right. I used not to be so familiar with ffmpeg and I ended up using some GUI program I can't remember back in the day. See if the driver has an option for no deinterlacing because that happens at driver level.

There is no difference between 1⅓:1 and 4:3, they're just different representations of the same thing. Rounding the ratio to 1.33 produces a negligible difference but I would stick with 4:3 for a simpler pixel aspect ratio of 9:8 (1.125} as opposed to 150:133 (1.12782), assuming the capture is 720x480i60.

As for the zoom, TVs will have some overscan because different equipment caused various borders but the capture card should capture all 480 lines. You can check that the output is not vertically scaled by taking a snapshot in a high-movement scene (beware that most image formats are limited to square pixels so better force a PAR of 1:1 for this purpose) and observing if the interlacing indeed causes 1:1 combing as expected. Checking for horizontal crop can be done with another video source (camera, DVD player, STB, game console) generating a test pattern or at least a known image. However, if the vertical scale is correct and the content aspect ratio looks subjectively fine at 4:3 SAR, the crop is most likely OK.

Yup. Israel is treating them like land that's free to colonize, when in reality a nation (albeit one with unstable government, and only recently UN-recognized) lives there.
Similarly, Japan can't claim it's "defending itself" if it hypothetically performs violent acts in Lebanon.

That's why I didn't specify which kind. I knew some laptops had a DSL or dial-up modem inside for use with any telephone sockets on the go.

 

Sure to annoy IT people but those just need a line of text while the rest of the screen is free real estate for Micro$oft! Public BSODs tend to go viral too.

 

There is a Fediverse-wide canvas event at canvas.fediverse.events (currently temporarily down with no ETA). Is the KDE community participating?

I redrew this Kiki icon as pixel art and I can, and probably will, place this image myself, as it's just 282 non-white pixels; I just want to know if anyone is going to draw the KDE logo, Konqi or other imagery so we can all be in one area.

1:1 image that can be used as a template:

If you have any KDE art you'd like to add, including better versions of Kiki, feel free to post them! I can adjust the palette into this year's 34-color one or even redraw high-res images as pixel art for you.

Go help draw at canvas.fediverse.events!

Edit: DESTROY THE DITHERING

Yes, it's just me who did the dithering but it turns out dithered stripes grow slower because people are afraid of placing pixels that would disrupt the pattern. Just fill the checkered area fully and continue with random pixels.

Edit: currently down :/
