i know a lot of people tend to define dani/ellie's "obsession" as the ocean to go with danny's space obsession but tbh i feel like as dani gets older she's going to do a lot to separate herself from her identity as danny's "clone" and become her own person

like, that's why i love that the fandom has adopted the "ellie" nickname so much for her. i so wish the show went on for longer with more competent writers or the comic could expand on this maybe but i think finding her own identity and voice would be such a powerful narrative. you're made for one thing but you don't wanna do that, so now what do you do?

(tbh that kind of identity exploration is probably too anit-christian for b*tch h*rtman so i'm glad he didn't get to touch it)

it's canon that dani goes off and travels the world, so why not have her obsession be traveling? she's got a huge case of wanderlust. she likes the outdoors, she likes hiking and camping and is a huge granola girl. like, i think that kinda just fits her a bit more, in my opinion. traveling/exploration.

hey i need some help

I'm developing a video compression algorithm and I'm trying to figure out how to encode it in a way that actually looks good.

basically, each frame is made up of a grid of 5x8 pixel tiles, each cell being one of 16 tiles. 8 of these tiles can be anything, while the other 8 are hard-coded.

so far, my algorithm simply compares each tile of the input frame to each hard-coded tile, and the 8 tiles that match the least are set to the "custom" tiles, and the other ones that match the hard-coded ones more are set to those hard-coded ones.

this works okay, but doesn't account for if two input frame tiles are the same thing or similar, it would be better to re-use custom tiles (eg, if the whole screen is black — due to the limitations of the screen I'm using, a solid black tile must be a custom tile, but a solid white one can be hard coded).

speed isn't that important, as each frame is only 80x16 pixels at the most, with one bit per pixel, and each tile is 5x8 pixels, for a grid of 16x2 tiles.

TL;DR: I need help writing an algorithm that can arrange 16 tiles into a 16x2 grid, while also determining the best pattern to set 8 of those tiles to, while leaving the other 8 constant.

hey im planning to switch over to linux and need advice from the smart people of tumblr, please and thank you. my messages are open so if you need any info to help me out hmu.

General Questions:

im seeing everyone saying ubuntu, mint, and ziron are "the #1 go to versions for beginners" but like... which is it?

i also hear about security being the best with linux but nothing about it coming with antiviruses. does it come with one like how windows comes with defender or do you install that yourself, or is it something different entirely?

all the sources i look at talk about downloading and installing linux but i want to know what to expect when first getting a prebuilt pc with the OS, like the system 76 pcs. do you have to set it up like when you install it or is it as easy as getting any new computer?

i know nothing about coding and im planning to get a computer from system 76 since it seems like the best, and its by far the only source that only comes with linux, and since my current one was pretty much ruined by someone i thought could fix it after a faulty outlet fried its insides, he didnt and made it worse.

so yeah, which linux version do you suggest for a computer moron, any suggestions for computers would be nice (max price is $1,300), i'll put the specs and my uses under the read more.

Preferences:

It ONLY comes with Linux. I despise what Windows has become and don't want to even bother dual booting cause I feel with the switchovers happening they're gonna get salty and make something that'll turn your computer into a bomb if you use Linux with it.

Kinda beefy but not a supercomputer. I don't use AI stuff, I'm not a programmer, but I do frequently play modded Minecraft with my friends and run smps for my Discord servers. I recently switched to Modrinth cause ATLauncher had been giving me trouble. Curseforge is out of the question.

At the most, I'll be playing VRChat with friends while having Spotify or Youtube in the background for music and Discord open in case someone needs my help in one of my servers, similar goes for running one of my SMPs just minus the VR.

Gaming Questions:

I also play VR games often, especially BeatSaber (modded ofc im not insane), and I have Half Life Alyx that I haven't been able to finish cause my already dead and gutted PC struggles to run it anymore even with the lowest settings. My current headset is a two feet in the grave, barely hanging in there, held by tape Oculus Rift S thats as old as my current PC whos also dead. I plan to get a new headset soon and had the Quest 2 recommended to me by friends. If theres better alternatives that isn't Meta please let me know.

I'm a DBD addict. Does it really run DBD or was that just the one guy from the one video I saw.

My friends also often drag me onto Roblox so I need to know if that'll be an option for Linux too.

I know I could probably look up all this myself but every source is outdated from years ago or they all say different things and it just confuses me.

Art Questions:

My current tablet is a Wacom, I got it before knowing how greedy the company actually is, and I plan to switch to a Huion after this tablet dies on me. If compatibility is an issue with it please let me know what to do about that.

I usually use Medibang but I don't think it runs on Linux from what I've seen, if I'm wrong lemme know. Am I going to have to switch all the files over to something else before getting a Linux or are there programs I can use that'll load them?

I also write and need to know if I need to switch all my files to something else before porting it all over to the Linux PC. I just used the default notepad and document programs on Windows.

But yeah, that's all my questions for now. If I think of any more I'll just edit this post. Sorry if I sound super dumb for all this, I tried finding information sources myself but like I said all of them weren't too moron friendly or had relevant information. Most sources I found were articles or reddit forums from years ago so I thought "Hey, why don't I just go ask the computer nerds directly?" so here I am.

FABULIST FILES, 1/? — ARCHIVE OF OUR OWN

Fable's AO3 tag currently contains 5,842 fics. The tag was most active from early 2020 to early 2021, when Haksu and Eunsu were engaging in constant fanservice with no heterosexual explanation, to the delight of permanently online Fabulists everywhere. They (mostly Haksu) continue to be among the most popular within the tag.

FILTER BY

As expected, Haksu features as the most popular character and makes an appearances in half of the most popular ships. Other somewhat frequent character appearances include Eden of Neon Nights, usually as Andrew's friend, and Field Day's Dart, usually as Byeonghwi's friend. The most popular alternate universe fics set the group in college/university, given the fact that most of them actually attended university. Like many other fourth gen boy groups, they also have more than their fair share of explicit fics.

NOTABLE FANFICS

The fanfiction with the most kudos is "TIME OF MY (YOUR) LIFE," written by nhys and published over the course of 2022. It gained popularity for its characterization of the Fable members and sense of humor, and for the author's constant promotion of it on Twitter. It spawned a few spin-offs and sequels by the original author and a few others, detailing events of the other years of Byeonghwi's college experience.

One of the most popular fanfics is heartsick's "BETWEEN US," published from mid-2020 to mid-2021. In many online Fabulist circles, it's considered to be one of The (with a capital T) Fable fics. Written and published during 2su's heyday, it continues to be a staple on fic recommendation lists, even if newer fans don't really know who Eunsu is.

Generally considered to be the first Fable fanfiction ever, "TAKE CARE OF THAT SWEET TOOTH" was published on September 23, 2018, a little over a month after the group debuted. Although mostly denounced by the original author as an obvious mischaracterization a few years later, it remains notable for kickstarting the tag.

welcome to the life of a quiet lab technician

[terraterrafunki]

I am fiercely protective of the science family and cannot stand when content farms erase them or when they make fun bot or Mr. Fun Computer antagonists for no good reason.

Do not separate them do not misrepresent them we love science family

So I had a mod idea...

...but the thought of learning how to make it deeply scares me, so I've made a request at The Wishing Tree. My idea is a trait mod that removes a sim's engagement/wedding ring.

Hey. "7 years of computer science for this". Hey what if. What if ok kinger has a wife ok but what if. What if when he's under all his pillows he's actually trying to remember what happened before. Before the amazing digital circus. How to get out of it. Trying to find a way. Just think about it, like darkness makes him get back to normal, and I don't think he would have said "7 years of computer science" just like this if he only remembered his wife.

Like that's a bit sad to think about it because I know that a lot of people likes kinger including me, but I think that he will MAYBE abstract. I know he is there since much more time than the others but I don't know, it could happen.

Remind yourself before insulting me or whatever that I'm not a super mega fan of tadc like some of you so I might have missed some infos about kinger that goosework dropped here and there, and I havent checked the wiki, I'm just writing this because I WANT THIS THEORY TO LEAVE MY BRAIN ARGGHHHHH

Kinger is pretty unstable, not really in the way that he could abstract at any moment like, but he has lost his mind, and does not seem to remember anything when he's with the others, even if he is able to go in the dark sometimes in their presence. In the hell it's diferent IT'S COMPLETELY DARK, so he was able to be in his normal state with Pomni. He tries to reassure her and all, because he is at that moment aware of what is tadc, which he wasn't really the moment before ???????? OK and so my idea is that (I think) he probably is one of the ppl who created tadc (I mean that's a bit obvious) and that seeing that being in the dark makes him go normal, he stays in the dark as much as he can so he can try to remember what happened BEFORE, his wife has existed for sure but he would be using her a a cover to avoid the others to be anxious because of him, I think that doing that kinda make him go crazy, explaining his state when he goes out of the dark. The more he tries, the darker he has to go in to remember. See, he had to be in HELL to remmeber. So it drives him crazy. He almost remember something but in the end just forget it. Kinger is going to abstract . I'm warning you guys.

Idk I that make any sense, english isn't my first language but I swear if this become a reality I WILL CRY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

He's trying to find a way out of tadc, goes in the dark to be able to remember, does not succeed, it drives him even more crazy than he was before, he gets out of the dark and goes back to his crazy-CRAZY state. It hides to the others the fact that he's trying to find a way out, that he's actually REALLY going crazy and probably not so far from abstracting.

PLUS !!!!!!!! If we folliw what I've said, being able to talk with pomni in his normal state probably made him realize how crazy he has become. It will just accelerate his abstraction.

I'M SO SORRY IK THAT'S AN HORRIBLE AND SHITTY THEORY BUT IDK i I I DON'T WANT KINGER KINGER TO DIE WHAT DO YOU THINK 😭😭😭😭 BUT LIKE ????????,,??? AND THAT'S WHY HE WOUKD HAVE SAID THE THING WITH COMPUTER SCIENCE. HE REALIZED. HOW CRAZY HE HAS BECOME SINCE THE LAST TIME HE WAS ABLE TO BE LIKE THIS IN FRONT OF SOMEONE OR IN GENERAL. I'M DUMB. I'M CRAZY. IM GPING CRAZY 😭.

The whole thing with his wife is absolutly adorable

A new reference sheet I made of my OCs Zion and L.E.D (and also their respective parents). This is more for myself if anything lolz but I figured it doesn't hurt to share it.

Okay Hasanabi Heads I need assistance with a decision!

I unfortunately can not watch Hasanabis streams live anymore because I have school work i need to do and he is much too distracting.

BUT! With how he doesn't care about his IP I was thinking that I could take my lecture slides, textbook chapters and extra curricular course reading, run them through an audio AI and have his voice read them?

This is either genius or I need to speak with my doctor, you decide!

Consider Professor Piker.....think about it....feeeelll it....then answer!

Question for the STEM girlies!!

Do you guys actually enjoy stuff like quantum physics, coding minute software, differential equations and whatever else they do in stem degrees and careers? If so how do u guys make it enjoyable im still in school but i find it fascinating

[daydreamingastronauts]

People, can y'all suggest me platforms where I can create a prototype of a website

[alvinmichaelmurphyseville]

“There’s no way out, is there? I’m trapped in an endless cycle of work and canceling plans with friends.”

“My life is literally the most boring stuff ever on repeat and there’s barely been any time lately to spice things up with…what did I used to do for fun? I don’t even remember.”

“Brain fog is bad today. Side effect of doing too much on meds? Just random? Side effect of stress? Anxiety? Who knows at this point?”

“I miss having a life outside the overwhelming list of things I HAVE to do every single day.” 😭

“I watched a cool movie yesterday and I barely remember ANYTHING from it. It was giving me so many ideas while I was watching it, but I didn’t get a chance to write them down before falling asleep early, so they’re all gone now.” 😭

“I don’t even feel intelligent anymore. I just straight up can’t think. Got a killer tension headache.”

I Messed UP procrastinating this lab report guys....

I'm like, "Oh, it was just a short first lab--I don't need to dedicate a ludicrous amount of time to the report!"

I WAS WRONG...

I've literally never used Overleaf before this. Idk why I thought I could just shit it out like I had in Google Docs in the past. Be so fr.

At least I know for next time I guess!! 😅
