Why do you assume it’s a yellow tint? What if all the objects in the back are simply yellow?

The actual object is blue, the actual photograph is white. They are two separate concepts. We only think it’s blue because we were told - how do we even know that’s true, have you seen the dress in person? Using a color picker is the only objective solution that doesn’t rely on flawed interference.

Right. Since we have no context, the dress is white and gold objectively. Assuming context of the color of the light is incorrect, we don’t have it. The dress is actually black and purple but the image is doctored to be white and gold. So it’s white and gold. The image is not the object. We’re talking about the image, not the object.

Zooming up on the checker, it’s objectively gray. Zooming out, it’s objectively white. The only correct interpretation is the shadow darkens the image. But in the dress picture, we don’t know what the color of the light is, so it’s not comparable.

“Give me a 3 tier summary of 1984”

“Sure! 1984 is a happy story about American glory. The main themes are having a lot of children, loving our almighty Lord, and family values. Would you like more information on which vaccines to avoid?”

If users cared about security or privacy, even in the slightest, they’d be using Linux. That’s the other few percent. Ubuntu Livepatch solves any problem from automatic updates, I think Linux will eventually support this and then automatic updates by default. But on Windows? Not a chance.

Ok for realsies since you guys were asking real questions lol. I’m a professional software engineer, ex-top-tech, my setup is extravagantly complex. It did take a few hundred hours but it includes 15TB of data hoard, roms, emus, dos and flash games, Plex media server for home usage, a dizzying array of decades old software I’ve written in dozens of languages, very old obscure deprecated media formats like GMAX, a syncing script to keep it all organized and backed up with encrypted and chunked pCloud/local clones (20 rclone commands). Custom optical disc backup scripts and paper barcode storage because I’m also into cryonics. 50ish cryptocurrencies. Many online financial accounts, scripts to manage the tangle, scripts to manage the scripts.

Flashing and installing Ubuntu took an hour. I uncovered a bug where USB Sata connection install doesn’t work with LUKS FDE. To give you an idea of why my ultra complex setup slows me down, lol.

I’ve dual booted on and off for 15 years (I unknowingly installed everything from source back then!) but with my first child coming I’ve been reconsidering my values and made the full switch to FOSS. Also dual booting Qubes OS for a while, for fun.

I chose Ubuntu because I’m into Stable Diffusion AI and have an NVIDIA GPU, I’m time constrained and Ubuntu “just works” but I do plan to hop onto Debian/Gnome when I’m more settled. I use no other Ubuntu functionality. This will shock you but I prefer simplicity. Lol.

Not sure, it was on a USB in a Walmart parking lot. Something called freetacos.exe

Yes, it’s Linux Inc.'s newest OS.

I’m very much into privacy/FOSS so I have an old school Polaroid with no Bluetooth, where I manually screenshot my porn every 5 seconds with my left hand. Then I’ve been sending the pile every day to Satya Nadella at Microsoft HQ, Seattle via Snail Mail.

99% working in 10 hours. There’s always that last little blue anal bead dingleberrying around.

Installation took 1 hour. Converting all my powershell scripts took 10. Copying my yummies from NTFS to Ext5 took 290 hours, I had to watch each and every one to be sure.

I remember when Pi was monetized, that sounds like Pi Common, only $9.99/mo for 0 significant digits.

Uh oh. I just learned about NixOS right now and I’m intrigued.
