Sounds like a load of elephant shit to me.

Edit: It’s posts like this that make me not trust any crypto. It all comes off as elephant shit to me.

I’m just waiting for version 127.0.0.1…

Rice does absolutely nothing to prevent solder points, traces, etc from corroding in the long run. Even if it briefly works, there’s no guarantees how long it’ll work before it ultimately fails.

I’ve had around 80% long term success rate with flooded electronics by disassembling them, pressure washing the bare circuit board(s), and using an air compressor to speed up drying time.

Not all components can be pressure washed, obviously, so some parts might still end up needing to be replaced. But usually the circuit board(s) can indeed last a long time if cleaned the way I mentioned.

Components not suitable for pressure washing and air compressor method would include the screen, the keyboard, the speakers, and any other obvious sensitive components.

Still, every water damaged item is a different situation. But I’ll tell ya this much, rice ain’t gonna do much of shit.

This feature will be implemented via loopback starting with version 127.0.0.1

/s 😂

It’s a prototype program, take it for whatever it is…

You have asked all the proper questions for me to have full respect for you and offer a link of my prototype…

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ibb3GnYb_LFqfk-HxlMtfyT8j5Fi2Hjq

Please take note that my software may have glitches, which should be outlined in the readme. I admit it’s incomplete, but it’s not easy designing a whole new GUI concept on your own…

HSL vs HSV?

Part of my prototype was gonna be called HSG, (Hue, Saturation, Greyscale), until I fully realized true artists don’t work with numbers at all, they work with their eyes and hands.

That was their goal yes, but it doesn’t work correctly. Of course that depends on display technology, in some cases it might work perfectly.

Still, those technologies work with numbers. Tell me of one Picasso out there that can actually paint with some calculated numbers? Not a damn one, they paint by using their eyes and hands.

So how do you mingle the analog technology of the human eye with the digital technology of a computer? Answer is, you don’t, unless you can design an intuitive interface for humans that they can just look at and communicate with, rather than look a bunch of stupid numbers which almost make no sense.

My original inspiration for my color processing system was to fix images with a ‘color cast’, if you will. Like, if an image has an extreme blue hue because of a camera flash, or something similar.

The more I researched into it and experimented for myself, the more I realized that chromatic offset isn’t much different than the C in Y=MX+C. Find the offset and subtract it from the image…

To me it was basically like a fog, that needed a mathematical solution.

Nope, existing color systems can’t account for color flare, which is nonlinear.

I really do appreciate your questions and comments, and it boggles my mind to try to explain it in a sensible way…

The color wheel may as well only be useful for scientists, who are trying to measure the spectrum of light coming in. Awesome! 👍

But that’s not intuitive for artists and painters and the like. The rainbow color wheel, as scientific as it may be, does not represent how artists actually see the world.

Sure we see the world with colors, but we primarily see the world with brightness levels. If you see a face, you’re not gonna see much of a change in hue, you’re gonna see variations in brightness of the same hue.

TL;DR - Color is more than what Crayola created, it’s not a solid, it’s a faded fluid. And there’s a math to it…

Text works to select or mix a color (I have a totally different definition of ‘color’ in my system). One ‘color’ is an entire measured gradient of colors.

I use terms like ‘solid color’ and ‘faded color’. Every other system uses solid color technology, but I use faded color technology in combination with solid colors.

Look underneath you, look at the shadow on your floor/carpet. Does that shadow change the color, or does that shadow change the illumination of the same color?

What is a color?

Honestly I don’t know exactly how I would deal with that in the long run. I really appreciate you for asking though.

I’ve done research into this very topic, and have learned that some languages do not include a word for ‘pink’, but rather a descriptive form for ‘light red’. I’m sure there are numerous other examples of translation issues.

Unfortunately I am not a multilingual programmer, so honestly I would need some help trying to make it work ideally with other languages.

I do thank you for asking this very question, as it indeed is a complication I would need help with… ☹️

You are the first person to actually try to understand what I’m getting at and what my project is. Strangely, you described it fairly well…

As much as I’d like to share my prototype software with you, I’m not sure this is the thread I should share it on.

They have the same interface. No originality, no creativity, just copy the big $$ crappy interface…

I didn’t ask or say shit about Windows 11. I said KDE ripped off the color picker interface from Windows 3.11, from 1993.

No shit, M$ literally used the same color picker for 24 bit truecolor as well. It’s literally the same GUI.

Oh, that’s right. I forgot that people kept using Windows after 7…

You’re probably not wrong, M$ dips their dirty paws into GitHub, which they now own apparently…

I also don’t use KDE, I use Gnome. At least they have a little unique style rather than ripping off M$

I apologize for being harsh as well, but that old Win311 style color picker came from the 16 bit days. You wanna rewrite it in 64 bit?
