  • I am having a hard time converting this to a JPG that is smaller than the GIF. Like you say, I think the fact that it is a static black-and-white image plays into the strengths of the GIF format and sidesteps the problems people usually experience with animated GIFs. The biggest downsides of the GIF format are a large file size for animated images and the fact that it only supports limited colors.

  • What is the story here? Man trains his dog to retrieve his cane any time he drops it, but the dog figures this means it can go around town stealing canes from strangers and bring them to its owner to receive a reward for each one?

  • For all its faults, GIF is a widely supported format. And its biggest fault (file size) mainly applies to animations, not static images like this.

    All that said, sure, this image would probably be more efficient as a JPG.

  • I think this was just a silly promo shoot to depict some absurd things that you could hypothetically accomplish with the Mechanism Deckmate ecosystem.

    Not that anyone would realistically want to do any of that. It is just illustrating how it is such a versatile ecosystem that you could do any of these things if you actually needed to for some reason.

  • Counter: Mike Dopud. This one actor portrayed five different characters in Stargate SG-1, two characters in Stargate Atlantis, and one character in Stargate Universe

    EDIT: Or Rachel Dratch in 30 Rock

  • Keep in mind that Woolsey was first introduced as Kinsey’s lackey coming in to sabotage the stargate program. His character arc is… wonderful; and he goes from Woolsey-the-antagonist to Woolsey-the-ally (and eventual leader of Atlantis).

  • Why might Framework want to sponsor Rails World? Everything else in that list makes sense to me, as they are software projects that can have a direct effect on a user's experience witn Framework hardware. But Rails World is all about a web development framework, right? That is like, three degrees of separation from Framework hardware. Donating to Rails World sounds to me like just a roundabout way to keep donating to Omarchy without having to say "we are donating to Omarchy".

  • Are they, though? I do think it is not right how their public stance is just "we want to be politically neutral". But at the end of the day, when you look at who is actually receiving funding from them now, it looks like they are no longer funding the projects that the community has a problem with: https://frame.work/blog/framework-sponsorships

  • Are they expecting users to have to remap the ESCAPE key as a mouse button or something? A big appeal of the Logitech keyboard that they compared this to is the dedicated mouse button in the corner on the left side.

    We’re excited to preview the Framework Wireless Touchpad Keyboard, a compact keyboard with integrated touchpad that is excellent for living room use, setting up computers, and mounting into sim rigs. As we were developing Framework Desktop and using it in these scenarios, we found that there was just one popular keyboard in this segment, and it was one that neither we nor the broader community particularly liked. We knew we could do better, and so we did! Our keyboard uses the same great-feeling mechanical key structure and touchpad architecture that we put in Framework Laptop 12. A highly power-efficient Nordic nRF54 radio and open source ZMK Firmware enable pairing four BLE and USB-A Dongle hosts along with wired USB-C connectivity. In addition to the dongle, which is storable in the back of the keyboard, we’re developing a USB-A Adapter Expansion Card that allows it to sit flush in a Framework Laptop or Desktop.

    We partnered with Lite-On for this keyboard, the same manufacturer we’ve worked with now on the keyboards and touchpads we’ve shipped in every version of Framework Laptop over the last 5 years. The overall design is slim while still being rigid, and the bottom cover is translucent black, giving you a view of the internal structure and electronics. The keyboard has 1.5mm key travel and full 19mm key spacing just like our laptops. The 68.8mm x 85.6mm touchpad is a clickable Windows Precision Touchpad, meaning it supports multi-finger gestures on both Windows and Linux.

    On top of this being an easy to use, convenient keyboard, we brought the Framework product philosophy throughout. We’ve released open source surface CAD to enable development of 3D-printable mounts and accessories, which is ideal for the sim rig use case. As with all of our products, the rechargeable battery is easy to replace and will be available in the Marketplace. Finally, the Control Board that contains the core electronics is a module that we’re making available separately in the Framework Marketplace to enable makers to use it as a base for their own wireless keyboard designs. We exposed 28 I/O pins from the nRF54LM20A microcontroller to allow a wide range of key matrix options.

    We’re sharing this preview of Framework Wireless Touchpad Keyboard to give developers an early start on building around it. To grow the ecosystem faster, we’re also kicking off an initiative to provide Control Boards free to developers. You can apply to join through this form. The Framework Wireless Touchpad Keyboard will be available later this year, and we’ll keep you up to date as we complete development and manufacturing of it.

  • They did not say that the list in that link is an exhaustive list. They said that there was previously some other post that did contain an exhaustive list.

    All that said, this looks to be a fairly exhaustive list of actors appearing in both franchises: https://stargate.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Trek

  • The OP does seem reminiscent of the AI "upscaled" version of Voyager episodes that I have seen. Yes, this scene of Chakotay/Janeway was originally in the episode. But that frame has gone through AI processing to make this meme, and it seems that is what they were puking about.

  • I don't think he will become Cricket 2.0. Yes, he is likely permanently disfigured under those bandages, and he was being sentenced to jail here. But I predict he will manage to bounce back.
