unexpected fox in the bagging area? @VanuPhantom #gpn23

@lain *still cis though

that young cashier who always chats me up asked me whether I was learning a craft or something, and was impressed when I told him I study computer science. idk, it's easy to forget not everyone my age is studying, when literally everyone my age I interact with regularly is doing so. maybe it would be interesting to do a reality check, but I have no idea where to go to meet "regular" people my age.

ce n'est pas un Hochfrequenztechnik

@davidrevoy wow, I'm completely mind blown. He has an actually beautiful setup there and explains everything correctly.

@lain idk, I think it was cool if it wasn't specifically in a theatre. I mean, pay attention to the movie!!

@kaia my coworker told me today he is vibe coding now :neocat_googly_shocked:

So today's fedi freak out is people realizing a TLS terminating proxy indeed has access to the plaintext request.

@lain that's my move there!!

@puniko looks really pretty tough!!

@lain their relationship is bad, but not that bad. And the movie is about much more, and overall pretty deep for a high school drama.

@kaiaskinoklub cannot believe I'm going to an actual Kino today!!

second mind blow: due to the curved, convex shape of the visible light perception, it is impossible to find three light sources that when addictively mixed together will be able to represent every visible color. Mixtures between the colors will always form a triangle between the three colors in the above graph, and there is no triangle that covers the whole space with its vertices corresponding to a color that actually exists.

So there's no way to build a perfect display, at least not by using only three colors.

Today I got the chance to ask our computer graphics professor a question that I asked myself quite some time ago: what the fuck is the color pink?

Like, the color right before infrared is red, the color right before ultraviolet is violet. And every other color is some wavelength between those two colors. EXCEPT FOR PINK!?

On a hue color wheel pink is between red and violet, so it's wavelength has to be somewhere around there, right??

Well, turns out pink is the color humans perceive when red and violet are mixed (duh), meaning the red and blue cones are stimulated. Since both cones respond to wavelengths on the opposite ends of the visible spectrum, there is no monochromatic wavelength that would trigger both, hence there is no wavelength that looks pink.

That's also the reason pink does not appear in a rainbow, because there white sunlight light, a mixture of (almost, hi Astro-fedi) all monochromatic wavelengths, is refracted based on wavelength, so no mixed colors occur in it.

@Mitsu Caribou thought?! In my French class, when our book had a whole section on Quebec, I really wanted to go there. Have you been to this underground mall yet?

fedi, I've got 3 hours to burn in #Dresden, any suggestions for what to do? (I've never been there before)

@shebang I was still able to visit that astonishing monument :3

@cjd oh fuck, i didn't know!! gotta drop out of university rn. how do i find that guy that can get me pregnant?
