@orbite if you have any interest in science-themed topics, maybe you'd be interested in making a portrait of a giant virus like mimivirus, for example? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimiviru…

I could use it in my science presentations, so it would get good use 😀

this math shit is NOT easy
Answer the questions below about the quadratic function. g(x) = -3x squared -12x-9 Is the function kiki or bouba? (Chris has selected 'kiki') (Underneath that, you can just make out, 'Does the function fuck?')

Sussex River

#art #nature #river #landscape #trees #birds

Creative painting of a vertical river that is white in the middle and blue on the left, with two white and blue coloured birds flying above it. Left and right next to the river are the abstract blue and green shapes of trees. In the foreground left and right is a layer of somewhat transparant little pink shapes over the painting.

"In responding to Sagan, Thorne pointed out that venturing into a black hole, with the hope of finding a spatial shortcut to elsewhere, would not be a good idea. Astronauts would be stretched like taffy due to its intense gravitational field, bombarded by lethal energy released by infalling matter, and accelerated to a dangerous level like the most unsafe thrill ride imaginable."

Memories of a walk in nature, 11 years ago, in search of a Silent Sunday, a bit of peace in a tumultuous and turbulent period of my life that would soon come to an end, although I didn't know it yet.

This photo holds a profound significance, known only to me.

#Photography #Photo #Picture #Pic #Pics #NaturePhotography #SilentSunday #Peace

This is a serene photo capturing a group of common reeds, illuminated by the soft, warm glow of the setting sun. The reeds are in sharp focus in the foreground, while the background is a gently blurred landscape featuring a tranquil waterway, flanked by grassy banks that lead to a line of tall, slender trees in the distance. The trees' bare branches suggest it is winter. The low angle of the sun creates a peaceful ambiance and casts a golden hue over the scene, highlighting the feathery plumes of the reeds and giving the entire image a quiet, timeless quality.

yes it is, I was astounded that nobody recommended it to me when I was going through Arch, Gentoo and the like when NixOS has all of their advantages and none of their PITA. At the same time if you know what you want it’s both easier to use and more stable than “easy” distros like Ubuntu that shit the bed as soon as you try to venture off the beaten path. 9/10

Did art exist before modern humans? New discoveries raise big questions.

Scientists are finding ever-earlier examples of artistic expression in the archaeological record that reshape what we know about the cognitive abilities of our archaic human relatives, such as Neanderthals.

I enjoy much of the bardcore music I've found online. This is "Running up that hill" by Kate Bush done in Early Middle English. Later Middle English you would have some hope of deciphering!

you said that Nvidia users with Wayland generally have hard times (I'm paraphrasing) unless they have newer cards, how new are you talking? I have a 2060 super, about 3+ years old iirc, I've never had Wayland issues with my Nvidia card, I've had screen capture problems (still have) but aside from trying to record the screen with OBS, my Wayland experience for everything I do is pretty much flawless imho.
