Wow I suddenly feel really bad about making fun of Linux users for spending all their time doing kernel things when I was a teenager.
Yeah it's definitely graphics related I'd have started X by now if it wasn't.
I set *something* kernel-looking to build but I have completely forgotten what it was. I /think/ it's more graphics, but I'll find out when that finishes.

hot take human intelligence is way more dangerous that ai in every way and no one wants to think of it that way while we build it continuously
So, YUV used the difference of blue and difference of red on the U and V axes - no difference on either meant no color, differences meant color.
NTSC rotated the color wheel 33 degrees for YIQ, I being on an orange/cyan axis, Q being on a purple/green axis, with more bandwidth given to the I axis. (Any Apple II user will recognize those colors instantly, and early Amiga users will recognize the first pair.)
The trick is that the I axis is really good at representing skin tones.
Here's a photo that the BBC used in their test cards, and then that same photo with the Q channel removed.
Why do that? *Two-color* TV - don't even try to decode Q, and use either orange/cyan phosphor or color wheels.

@Skirmisher pointed at this key on my keyboard and asked “is this a pigeon?”
Hit me with your favourite `fortune` files, I'm looking for some new ones.

There's something lovely about having almost no processes running in order to keep a computer up

Exciting plans for this evening's entertainment include installing Arch Linux and crying.
Nevermind I just sat on it, through hole pins are pointy
I was holding a μC and then I ate something and now I'm not holding a μC so I'm kinda worried that I just ate an esp8266

elves reproduce by amputating an extremity and then taking care of it for a couple years as it slowly forms a baby elf on the end, like a cactus cutting forming roots. the parent gets fitted with a prosthetic made of wood from the heart of the spirit forests. prosthetics are a sign of being a parent - a beautiful, well respected thing. also, elf babies look REALLY funky. like hi, i'm f'al'reauo''''fjall, i'm 12 in human years, and my arm is the size of my entire body
seti at home? more like sweaty at home.

Found this large and quality friend hiding behind the house, gonna hook it up to the SDR and see if it works tomorrow.
If you are doing something to a bunch of files, perhaps a shell script like:
for i in *jpg; do something $i somethingelse; done
and want a simple way to parallelize this, try xargs, which I love:
ls *jpg | xargs -n1 -P5 -I% something % somethingelse
will run on five files at a time. I've used this trick two or three times today in re-synchronizing photos from two phones and a camera and an SD card and Dropbox. #xargs #shell #protip
