That is certainly a possibility. As I recall, the video was not focused on "zoom to the stars" but something else (I'm thinking it was "you can actually see the moon moving through the sky"), so I'm more inclined to believe that I am either mis-remembering the "stars" part of the video, or that what I saw in the video was not stars (maybe Venus, Jupiter, or satellites) as it was certainly not a vast high-contrast star-field...

This was years ago, so I doubt I could find it now. Nonetheless, it looked something like this (zooming in and blue sky turns black): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dJ28M29k4MY

Is that suse-on-a-phone just a tease, or something awesome I have yet to discover?

I recall seeing one of these hyper-zoom videos on yt where they zoomed into the blue sky and at one point it turned black and stars appeared. I imagine the same holds true for LEO sats... you just need to get past that isoluminescnce barrier?

Someone said steam engines are still in use as NYC infrastructure.

By using the software as intended. I guess I could file a bug report, but I think it's hilarious that you think I spent a bunch of time compositing a gimp screenshot to that level of detail, but refuse to believe I would spend even a few seconds compositing the original (with obvious 3rd arm and poorly colored zig-zag join points).

I don't know what you think I'm claiming. I just mashed some images together, I never said I took them with a camera. FYI: The screenshot is legit. Also, you might be interested to learn about "merge down", it really helps with layer management. https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-layer-merge-down.html

Yes, the base images are AI generated, but it will actually refuse to generate such an image (child endangerment or abduction).

I have no idea what that actually proves, as I could just as easily mess with the gimp screenshot in, say... gimp... (or I suppose ask GPT to make a gimp screenshot?) but here you go.

Edit: image removed for privacy reasons.

I wonder if people are mistaking my rough gimp composition for AI giving the guy a third arm...

I guess it is allowed in the sense that moderators won't remove it, without a guarantee against an angry mob razing it with down-votes. :)

Imagine how dusty that room would have to be, in order to see that effect.

Maybe garbage shows are cheaper to produce, or get better viewers-per-dollar-spent measurements?

Having a safe passing-lane does not sound that bad to me.

I wonder why people downvote this... some kind of brand loyalty/emnity, or buyer's remorse?

The first half of the game plays kinda like a tower defense game, except there is one peculiar enemy that just appears, disappears, and multiplies strategically (eventually forcing a loss), then it switches to you being that character with time-control... complete with seeing previous threads (your own character) sorta like adding another unit each time you rewind time.

You can't make me say that.

The beast and rider vaguely make up the "A" shape of the Arch Linux logo.
