  1. #Linux #Widescreen

    Bin gerade sehr zufrieden mit
    #Mudeer für den KDE/Plasma Desktop

    Lässt mich meine Fenster per Tastatur am - sehr breiten - Bildschirm anordnen.

    Einstellungen --> KWin Skripte --> Neue --> Mudeer

    Dok:
    https://github.com/darkstego/Mudeer

    Evtl. Kurzbefehle testen checken in Einstellungen --> Kurzbefehle --> KWin --> Nach Mudeer suchen, evtl. anpassen

    Automatisch Tiling mach das Ding ned, aber per Tastatur.

  3. I *loved* the theme #music, the #costumes, the #locations. 🤩 And I’m glad to say after rewatching: I still do.

    It wasn’t until recently I learned additional seasons were made years after series 1-6 — starring the inimitable David Suchet, ofc.

    The #tech advancements in titling, #CGI, and the use of #widescreen ratio def enhance the storytelling. And the move from Christie’s short stories to her novels abt the character aided the transition from single-episode arcs to longer-form #tv movies.

  5. WideNote is a line of #subnotebooks released by #SharpCorporation. The line comprises the W-100T and W-100D, both released in 1996, and the M4000, released in 2005. The W-100 series was the first laptop with a color #widescreen #LCD, with a roughly #169AspectRatio. The W-100 series features a Pentium processor clocked at 133 MHz, while the M4000 features a #PentiumM processor clocked at 1.73 GHz.

  6. Good morning! It's 4am... couldn't sleep anymore. Experimenting a bit with aspect ratios between the TV and the Analogue 3D N64 console. Mario looks a bit too fat in 16:9 widescreen.

  7. My friends and I have made movies most our lives. "Widescreen" was inspired by a Barbra Streisand song, but never got further than a preview reel. 1980s. #super8mm #reg8mm #8mm #homemovies #makingmovies #movies #film #films #widescreen #streisand #barbrastreisand #perform

  8. Kleiner Tipp für alle #KDE und #Widescreen bzw. #Ultrawide User. Mit Meta+T könnt ihr Zonen eueres Desktops festlegen und euch die Arbeitsfläche aufteilen. Analog zu #FancyZones bei den PowerToys aus Redmond. Nur unter KDE ist die Umsetzung gefühlt 3x besser und intuitiver.

  9. OTT: Extreme Multihead For Gaming (on Linux PC):

    All these hoops are basically obsolete with #gamescope nowadays, because this micro compositor allows to configure any virtual display size that games get to see - and handles upscaling on top.

  11. Thrilled with the redscale images from the 'new to me' Horizon 202 panoramic camera. Yes, there was slight banding on some of the images, and others looked a little funny for redscale, but on the whole they were awesome.

  13. @wyatt I can think of one kind of 2D game that benefits from a widescreen patch. Some platformers use heavy "dual forward focus" in the camera, showing more of the map on the side of the screen that the player is facing to give the player more time to react to hazards. Think Yoshi's Island for SNES, the Sonic games for Game Gear, or Full Quiet for NES. A widescreen patch reduces camera movement when turning around, which could improve accessibility for players with motion sickness.

  15. Always when I see YouTube videos about #cinematography, #aspectratio and how #Cinemascope / #widescreen is a "problem" for framing just the face of a person, because of all the "empty dead room", I just wish that these dudes would watch "The Ipcress File" at some point ...

  16. draft - dear YouTube - who decided that "YouTube shorts" should be vertical. If it's to compete with tiktok then

    Dear tiktok, who decided that tiktok videos should be vertical















  17. I recently told my fifteen year old that early DVDs often came with different versions on each side. I told him one side was labelled "fullscreen" and asked him to guess what the other side was.

    The correct answer is of course #Widescreen because 4:3 filled the screen even though it wasn't the full width of the movie.

    #Movies #DVD #AspectRatio.

  19. Our website has been largely unchanged for over a decade, and while we have major updates planned, we're also making little tweaks to improve the current experience.

    From now on, our Games DB will no longer have to be updated manually each year to let the users filter the games by the current year. The cutoff point will adjust dynamically.

    The immediate change seen today is the ability to filter by 2023 and 2024.

  22. Went out to play with the #Sirui 1.33x #anamorphic adapter for mobile phones earlier today, shooting a sunrise at #HadleighCastle in #Essex.

    Initially, I wanted to get an anamorphic lens with neutral-coloured flare for my full frame camera, but seeing this makes me just want to stick with the blue flare which most people associate with anamorphic lenses.

  24. I need fresh ideas for my slide deck.

    I’ve one #Powerpoint file for all my talks, organized by topic.

    Some love it, especially the list of topics in the sidebar.

    Others cringe as much as I do (e.g., because my name and website are on every slide).

    How do you organize and present all of your #slides?

    What formats, templates, or designs work well?

    (Is it safe to assume our slides will never again be on a 4:3 display? Can we finally go #widescreen?)

  26. (continuing the thread on #widescreen) … notice the "BBC" logo in the previous post is adhering to "shoot and protect", laying it in severely far from the edge. This reflects some of the practices in 1998-2008 when the UK was transitioning to widescreen while giving a lot of thought into the simulcasting of analogue TV, a system that was retrospectively defined as locked-in to 4:3.

    SBS TV had a fun time "#triplecasting" for a brief period around 2010, producing separate subtitles ("burned in" or open captions, not closed ones) when movies were widescreen with lots of handy black bar space was available to put the subtitles in. SDTV had it aligned for 16:9, with the words overlapping the image. And briefly, HDTV had the new sharper font available for the latest movies, briefly before #analogue shutdown.

  27. 2012 saw peak pain with the 1980s "future" clashing with 2010s "future", coining the term Vertical Video Syndrome #VVS youtu.be/dechvhb0Meo

    Fast-forward to 2016 and Instagram launches square (1:1) videos — and I think it was @danilic who declared it was the best choice for production from then on, being a handy compromise between phones and widescreens (laptops and TVs). Do you still think so Dan? With toilet-phone-video at all time highs, YouTube Shorts launched in 2020 and is pushing 9:16 so much that I've seen new creative methods for packing "normal" video into a handy phone frame — not just pan-and-scan to supplement blurred backgrounds, but also stacking to give what sometimes seems an entirely new shot — the BBC is experimenting: youtube.com/shorts/_dnlzauCh5Q

    Meanwhile, my 2010 upload of Double The Fist's ironic "Tallscreen" experiment (where they lampoon toxic masculinity to complain about the world including #widescreen) … was auto-tagged into the oldest YouTube Short ever? youtube.com/shorts/-0TkkLLAkdk

  28. 1994: Turns out, the original "Stargate" movie provides public proof of #widescreen TV and the agreement of standards for 16:9 #aspectratio, long before studios stopped resisting pressure to change (and causing a whole lot of problems for us in the 2020s). youtu.be/x3h7xz558EY?t=180

    In the UK, they took 5 years to commit, and their "C-Day" was 1st July 2000. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-Day … Australia took another 5 years before the last jigsaw piece (ABC News) got on board, but Ten News was on it even before digital broadcasting in 2001.

    In the USA, it took 15 years … and a shutdown of analog before studios even installed 16:9 let alone HD: cc.com/video/a6c63f/the-colber

    But 2008 did generate this fantastic YouTube sketch to launch their widescreen ability: youtu.be/FEm8PZ_lUh8

  29. Heeft er iemand ervaring met een #widescreen monitor tijdens het programeren? Ik heb op mijn werk 3 #monitoren maar thuis een 'simpele' 23inch. Om nu meteen 3 #schermen te kopen..
