/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

A loss comic, from "The Loss" (TNG s4e10), about a woman coming to terms with the loss of her husband, in lossy compression.

I hate you 😆

I develop a Lemmy client and have been re-working the renderers on this release. I daily drive my "dev" version to suss out bugs and such. There was a bug a couple days ago where it kept fetching 256 px thumbnails even when requesting the full size image.

For a moment there, I thought that bug was back and just about slammed my laptop shut and poured a drink.

Well, have a drink on me instead. Didn't mean to worry you. Salúd.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 16 points 1 month ago

¡Salud! 🥂

Oh I was wondering what the pixels were for. I was at a loss to explain it

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago

What you did there, I see it.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I came here to make that joke, but you beat me to it.

So I think I lost.

[–] lugal@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Sorry for your loss

Serious question, can a downsize of an image be considered a lossy compression method?

[–] mhague@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I think in a way it's like quantization which is lossy compression

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Probably not. To be perfectly frank, I used Pixel It to muddle the original image. Works well in instances like this or if trying to create 8-bit style images.

For some reason your response didn't trigger a notification. I wonder why. This is the first time that I know of when I didn't get one.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

There's been some odd glitches of late.

There’s a lot of reasons I was amused by the crossover episode making LD unambiguously canon for the haters, but one of my favorites is “fuck you, moopsy is canon too”.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

They should get Frakes back to do an in-universe version of his Beyond Belief show.

I'm one of those holdouts saying Disco and SNW aren't canon (because they break so much of it) but it didn't occur to me that, if they are then it means LD must be canonical too.

You may have changed my mind.
