like if you wanted to mix paint to get a color from a computer would you do the opposite of what the RGB value is? I'm confused

like if I wanted to take the RBG code R:99, G: 66, B, 33 wouldn't it look more lightful than if I mixed paint into 1 part blue, 2 part green, 3 part red? how would you paint a color code?

tw: death, blood, gore, irony

a bit of context

I posted an ironically edited Charlie Kirk shot gif, with what I thought at the time was sufficient warning and blockage, in response to someone saying we could ai generate a gif of Hitler's suicide. I was making a comment on how such a thing couldn't compare. All things considered I didn't think my comment was in that poor taste, especially given I was actively editing to give even more warning and barriers. In the end it's not a big deal, I expect no less, but come on, give me more than "nope"


Edit:

I kind of regret making the post but the dialogue might make it worth it.

to be clear, I never thought they were powertripping and/or bastards, this was just the most appropriate community for something that at the time I felt could use more discussion.

In short:

Police have seized five posters depicting world leaders in Nazi-like uniforms from the window of a Canberra bar.

The bar was declared a crime scene and was forced to close, while the artist says the works are "clearly satirical".

What's next?

The bar owner says the images are "demonstrably anti-fascist" and that he has no regrets about displaying them.

Its super easy to find programming courses, but they rarely cover how to actually deploy or "use" whats made, esspecially for web development. Is there a good way to learn this for free?

Anyone here have experience self-hosting Stoat?

After a few evenings banging my head against the keyboard I finally have Revolt and Livekit self-hosted!

It's largely all working through the official stoat-for-web that I'm hosting, but something really simple is preventing me inviting my friends along to try it...

I've set the backend to invite-only and added an invite code to the database... But I can't for the life of me figure out how the devs intend for invites to actually work beyond the backend?

  • It doesn't seem to be a feature of stoat-for-web at all.
  • The app doesn't support any alternative servers as far as I can tell

Any good workarounds, besides opening up the floodgates...?

The New York Times reported on Saturday that the compound was a detention center for African migrants who were recently deported from the United States by the Department of Homeland Security.

None of the deportees are Cameroonian citizens. And almost all had received protection from American courts, which banned the government from sending them back to their home countries, where they would most likely face persecution, according to government documents obtained by The Times and interviews with their lawyers.

...

Some of the journalists, Mr. Fru and Mr. Sa’ah said, were kept in a cell for hours. The two men said the A.P. reporter appeared to have been beaten up and had told them the police had attacked him.

All of the five were later freed. Before the journalists were released, the police confiscated their phones, cameras and laptops, saying the journalists had captured sensitive government information, according to Mr. Fru and Mr. Sa’ah. It was unclear if any had been charged.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing criticism and questions from advocates for homeless New Yorkers after abruptly reversing his policy pledge to end homeless encampment sweeps.
City Hall officials said outreach workers with the Department of Homeless Services would begin notifying street homeless New Yorkers this week of plans to clear them out of public spaces. During a sweep, city sanitation workers often trash tents, makeshift encampments and other belongings if people refuse to pack up and go to a shelter or another location.
Mamdani had called the encampment sweeps done by his predecessors Eric Adams and Bill de Blasio a “failure” because they rarely led to people being placed in permanent housing. He billed the new plan as a kinder, gentler approach to addressing street homelessness, saying the city would conduct daily outreach in the seven days before police and sanitation workers arrived to disperse encampments or makeshift shelters.
But advocates for homeless New Yorkers say Mamdani’s plan is more of the same, and will displace people while moving only a fraction of them into shelters or permanent housing.
“It’s a huge step backwards,” said Josh Goldfein, a staff attorney for the Legal Aid Society. “It seems like what’s happening now is the administration is caving to political pressure to say they have to push people out with force rather than approaching them with resources that they need and will accept.”
Mamdani has faced pressure to resume sweeps from business leaders, elected officials and media outlets since he halted the policy days after taking office. Those calls intensified after at least 19 people died outdoors during a recent stretch of cold weather — though it was unclear how many of the people were living in encampments. At least five had permanent housing.
