ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Polish it, I wonder what kind of genie comes out.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

As Adobe gets increasingly shitty, more and more people realize they can go without Illustrator or Photoshop, often even After Effects. Lots of users got used to them with licences they didn’t pay for (at school or work) and often only use them for basic functionality, not wanting to invest the time to learn Inkscape, Krita, Blender etc. that would be adequate for their use case. However, the AI training fiasco might be the push they need.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

VMs, too. You can use a bare Windows VM with just the 1 or 2 programs that don’t work under Wine, unless they are major ones like Microsoft Office (still, LibreOffice is good enough or you can use older Office under Wine). This will minimize what the closed-source operating system gets access to.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Citrix Workspace is shitty but they do support Linux. I don’t think it would be too much work for the IT team to figure out how to get it working on a Linux VM, then they can just send you the disk image.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

I’d guess you’ve tried your best but in a small company, you might be able to get the IT guys aboard and perhaps persuade them to change some settings. They know you can record a VM’s screen without it noticing.

“can I have saturation?”

“yes but only on satur-day”

Almost.

Here, I converted your image so that Cb and Cr (blue-complement and red-complement chroma) channels are constant, and only Y (luma) carries any image data, just like the flag.

Black and white cannot be reproduced unless you adjust chroma to center in those places or allow luma to span outside the 0-255 range.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

yet no real use found for en passant

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

I’m already keeping track of the kings and rooks for castling reasons. Remembering whether any of the 16 pawns has moved is too overwhelming and turns IRL chess into a game of who can get away with the other player’s bad memory.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Yes, you missed the joke. I know pawns can only move in one direction on the Y-axis.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

True even on a logarithmic scale! That is how insane the wealth gap is.
