I know there are people who actually believe that the great flood was a thing

the great flood specifically is a weak example but yes there is a huge percentage of people here who ignorantly believe all the stories from the bible as if they were fact

In the bible the entire point is that everything dies from the flood so like

07:13

Idk

07:13

I always assumed it meant a global flood, like literally all land on earth flooded

So i guess it really depends on the interpretation

07:24

But it was supposed to kill everything and that didn't happen so

07:24

It is fake

07:27

And obviously the ark part is fake

07:29

Another example could be Adam and Eve

07:30

It's also obviously not true

Because evolution

the stories in the bible are kind of fairy tailes anyway They might contain some truth, but they are also exaggerating and fiction in most parts

blasphemy

has any of U used topaz image enchancing tools?

12:00

or are there other client-side solutions?

topaz?

13:06

use imagemagick

13:06

https://imagemagick.org/index.php

Create, Edit, Compose, or Convert Digital Images

Ryozuki

use imagemagick

Are there already usermade scripts for upscaling stuff? As thats the only function im interested in

14:31

Nvm i read myself there are

14:32

It was literally the line i stopped reading to ask, and then continued (edited)

ok i have been fooling aroudn with imagemagick for 20 min

15:52

and all i can say is this is the perfect example why open soruce loses to paid programs

15:53

because most users just want to do something once or twice and forget

15:53

while here U have to spend time searching for various command line options test and try out

well this is a cli tool

16:14

not gui

16:14

https://github.com/TeaM-TL/FotoKilof

GitHub - TeaM-TL/FotoKilof: GUI for ImageMagick and Wand

GUI for ImageMagick and Wand. Contribute to TeaM-TL/FotoKilof development by creating an account on GitHub.

Imagine doing image editing with gui

16:28

In 2023 gui is no longer new and revolutionary so we can go back to command line

chillerdragon agrees

Ryozuki

well this is a cli tool

yes i know i noticed, but im just saying why commercial pirated software wins, because people sometimes want to do something once and forget forever or just on a bunch of pictures

17:20

but either way it's a nice thing :v

I am waiting for gimp with node editor

17:35

And non destructive workflow

17:35

Or something

sad sunday

19:39

no #off-topic philosophical discussion

19:39

@Overlord any news

@Ryozuki spent weekend, doing what learath once said about searching deep into myself and looking at wall, for a brief moment i thought about ditching IT and going to study medicine

19:44

but then woke up today and realised it might be even worse of an idea + it's extremely big commitment to study for 8 years

19:44

ultimately i have no idea in which direction i want to elad my life

hm idk

19:44

maybe dont make ur life about work

all i know is despite having mindset of, not valuing it / treating it like a videogame playthrough, i still dont make decisions that i approve of

find hobbies

i had a hobby now it's dead

19:45

i thought about getting into archery

19:45

but alas would have to immediately join a group

19:45

because it's hard to even practice legally without owing land

19:45

shooting guns on shooting range isnt for me already tried that, doesnt fascinate me either

19:46

will be honest i did try ASG once and it was kinda fun

19:46

but im no longer fit 'enough' (ofc this is solveable issue)

19:46

Bob Ross really shows how easy it is to paint in certain style :v

19:48

either way, if i had unlimited moneym i most likely would travel some, then settle in a small house with big plot of land (not as big as farmland) in some village, and probably learn foregin languages, to consume their media/books

19:49

but alas, huge part of life is indeed about work

19:50

and looking at people around, and over the interent thorough the years, besides oddjobs who usually change from low wage work to another low wage one, people somewhat stick to their learned / most practised job

19:50

and while asking them nearly none would change anymore, because of responsibilities, and getting used to certain income and safety net

19:52

so overall it's pretty late to make any decisions

19:52

for example im already too old for forest ranger as in i would have to redo school (not like university so very weird) but then U're tied to goverment which sucks

19:53

i do like helping people out, but also dont like working with people, so repairman does sound somewhat appealing

damn

aside from those, there's nothing much to ponder about the world, the politics dont change, people's behavior gets worse

i wanted to maybe get into chess more serriously

19:54

like going to a club

19:54

and oficial tournaments

my coworkers goes to official tournaments

19:54

there are even beer chess tournaments (might be polish thing xd)

19:55

these types of board games are pretty neat, despite not really liking chess, I used to play some TCG

by oficial i mean FIDE rated tournaments

and it's fun playing both casually and winning small tournaments

Ryozuki

by oficial i mean FIDE rated tournaments

yea but is there anything stopping U from signing? like loicense

19:56

if not (as in it's just pay to participate) try once

19:56

U might get hooked on that, like those rubik cube tournaments and so on

Overlord

yea but is there anything stopping U from signing? like loicense

to become federated u need to go to a club

19:57

u need to be federated to go to fide tournaments

19:57

xd

19:57

also lots to learn ofc

no idea what federated stands for but i guess similar to official

ye

well U live in huge city

in most pro sports

i bet there's atleast 20 clubs

u become "federated"

19:58

maybe its just a spanish term idk

also chess is somewhat patient game (aside from speed chess or whatever) so i doubt U will meet any pato people there

ye there ae

19:58

are

19:58

i just need to break my lazyness and go there

19:58

and be social

19:59

xd

i used to be in cooking club when i was younger

19:59

was okayish

19:59

dont recommend

did u eat nice food thanks to it

sewing was better

19:59

i ate food i wouldnt touch sometimes

19:59

like outside of there if somone offered me

19:59

mashed fish on cracker

20:00

i would look at them weirdly

xd

i think out of all those activities, i liked helping out at stables at some guys place

20:00

tho i wasnt much of help because i've been like 11 or 12 back then

20:01

but was semi fun, especially when there were like 300 people for some festivities, and i could just go to the staff only house for peace and quiet

20:06

i guess combat sports were fun hobby, and they're not work related

20:06

(as long as U dont suddenly decide to train people and make it into a job :v)

20:07

but on a side note U should really go to chess club, the sooner the better
