Oh man, if only we had statistics from countries where porn is banned, or some sort of scientific study from multiple countries where porn was banned and then unbanned to see what the change was...

Spoiler: They'll probably go up slightly.

remember what made Ford what it is today.

American can-do spirit, worker's rights, and throbbing fuckloads of antisemitism.

My thoughts exactly. But way more mundane. The Scarlet Suburban Boredom.

All spot on!

I will mention as an add-on that it's entirely possible to take IR photos using a standard camera and an IR filter such as a Hoya R72. The downside to this is that normal cameras don't take in much IR due to filtering so you have to do a long exposure. The image ends up mostly red (since the filter itself is very dark red in visible light) so you then just turn it monochrome. Skies become dark, foliage becomes bright.

It's all super cool and the best part is nobody can tell you you're wrong. You just make it look the way you want it to be.

It doesn't.

If you're taking a pure "infrared" image it will look like night vision goggles. Since infrared doesn't have a color that we can see, it just ends up as brightness value data going into the camera's sensor. It's just black and white since the sensor only has a brightness value to reproduce.

For this image I used a filter that allows the infrared through, making things like foliage brighter and giving it sort of an orange hue, while kicking out other wavelengths. I then use basic color adjustments to make the orange-ish foliage that the camera produces look super bright red. You can alter it to pretty much any color you like. All infrared pictures are ultimately false color, so it's up to you what you want it to look like.

I have a writeup on my terrible 1998-ass website. Complete with no ads or monetization, just like 1998 intended.

Long story short: You can rip the infrared filter out of most any digital camera, then use various filters to alter the wavelengths that actually hit the camera's sensor.

What the other person is saying about "discoverability" is not entirely accurate. The Mac mouse has traditionally had one button, going way back. No, I mean waaaaay back. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_pointing_devices Cost was a massive factor given the tech of the time and the fact that they were shooting for the home market using hardware that wasn't readily available off the shelf.

Macs have COMMAND, OPTION, and CONTROL keys. CONTROL+click is the equivalent of a right mouse click, but it may not be implemented by developers as standard in games and I'm not sure if the MacOS system hooks CONTROL+click to the same output as an actual right mouse click.

Modern Mac mice have what's basically a touchpad instead of buttons, which is awesome since it gives you things like a scroll wheel and a right button. But it's absolute RSI-buggering trash for the most part.

"A dedicated gaming system with an available OS that most people will never directly access has slightly more users than an operating system that is openly antagonistic to most games" is one of the weirdest flexes I've seen from the Linux community, and I've been around it for about 20 years.

Really makes me want to go face-first into astrophotography. Dig it.

It depends on how the image was captured. I have a camera I converted to "full spectrum" by removing the IR/UV cut filter. It can still collect visible light, no problem, and you can use various filters to utilize whatever wavelengths you want.

That said, given the amount of noise, this looks like something that was taken with a standard camera and a long exposure through something like a Hoya R72 so there probably isn't a color version in this instance unless OP took a separate one.
