  • First Satellites

    Jump

  • Well, there's certainly a double entendre in chosing it as the name of a satellite, but it definitely comes from the name of tgat comic book character. Which itself is a play on asterisque (this symbol: *), which, of course, comes in turn from aster as you said.

    His compagnon Obélix has a name which works on two levels: It can be seen as a play on obelisk (he is himself a sculptor of menhirs, which are vaguely similar to obelisks), but "obèle" is also the French word for the dagger symbol (†), which is an alternative to the asterisk.

  • Why isn't upscaling webcomics a standard practice?

    Jump

  • If you mean as the artist, just work in high resolution in the first place.

    If you mean using AI upscaling on someone else's webcomic that's already been shared several times and lost quality along the way before reposting, that's because it can cause aberrations and sometimes looks uglier than a low quality webcomic. Better to reverse-search it with tineye to find the original, which should be in good quality.

  • You probably can unleash your special interest again without denying yourself.

    I'm not trans (I think), but I do hyperfixate (probably on the spectrum, a shrink even said so but he wasn't abilitated to do an official diagnosis), and I feel like one of the good things about hyperfixations is how they're things outside of yourself, and how you feel about them isn't too affected by how you feel about yourself or your immediate surrounding. I feel if I became a girl, my interest for my hyperfixations, including past ones would be one of the most consistent things about me, I wouldn't feel the need to change or deny them even as I'd change everything else.

    Sorry if my experience isn't relevant tho, I may not understand every trans issue.

  • Good question. From a quick search, this doesn't appear to be true, protestants were overrepresented in both the Nazi party and their electorate ; so that'd make it rightfully controversial.

    Maybe you have a more reliable source than the ones quoted by wikipedia ? Or maybe the scope of your statement is different than the one dealt with in this article (like fascists as a whole and not just nazis)?

  • Happy Easter Monday!

  • Tbf, it's not in the bible or anything unlike the other two, it's more of a medieval european legend with christian parallels...

  • Jesus has multiple fursonas, including a lamb, a lion and a pelican. But the easter rabbit might be Ēostre's fursona.

    I feel the same about jazz

    Jump

  • If 1000 people love jazz, I am one of them. If 100 people love jaee I am one of them. If 1 person loves jazz, it is me. If noone loves jazz, I am dead.

    If the world is against jazz, then I am against the world.

    Yemen is in: Southern 'Israel' struck with ballistic missiles

    Jump

  • Do you mean in terms of population? In all the maps I see, Ansar Allah's territory seems smaller, tho they do control the most densely populated zone...

    I didn't find the number of people in each zone, but I guess there does seem to be more Yemeni living under Ansar Allah's rule.

    Jump

  • Might be worth mentioning that this is Ansar Allah (aka the Houthi state), they don't control most of Yemen.

  • It's possible that your phone uses AI upscaling, yes. Upscaling an image means increasing the number of pixels, which involves guessing what color these pixels should be, and that's often done with.AI. Like other generative AIs, it can be wrong and cause aberrations.

  • Spez (Reddit CEO) just put out an announcement talking about how they'll verify bots vs humans. Get ready for a wave of new users into the Fediverse pretty soon!

  • You're right in theory, but it's Spez we're talking about. I tend to consider that the following is a rational reaction to Spez preparing to take any action about anything in any context:

  • Types of Podcasts, a guide

    Jump

  • For the history podcasts, I listene to "The History of Rome" and "Revolutions", both by Mike Duncan, and "The History of Byzantium" by Robien Pierson.

    The woman reading fairy tails and books is Abitlate (she also has the youtube channel Abitfrank)

    For the group of people chatting format, I have "The Deprogram", which is a communist podcast about politics, and "Une invention sans avenir", a podcast about cinema, which is in French.

    The daily fiction one is "La chute de Lapinville", also in French. And while I'm on the topic of French fiction podcats, " Les Donjons de Nahelbeuk" is of course a classic.

    Jump

  • Types of podcast I listen to:

    • History podcasts (the best type)
    • That one French daily fiction podcast about a fictional city that's a mix of realistic and absurd
    • A woman reads fairy tales and old novels
    • A small group of people (always the same + tye occasional guest) discuss the one thing they're all fascinated by, with a different thematic each day.
