  • I don’t know if I can recommend framework. I’ve been having lots of reliability issues with their hardware.

    I had massive issues a few months in. Lots of weird issues such as SSD randomly disconnects, screen flicker & system crashes, and issues with powering on after leaving the laptop overnight.

    Been emailing back and forth with them since October trying out different fixes. All this time I haven’t really been able to use my laptop reliably. It should be getting sorted eventually. Their warrenty is pretty good and they finally agreed to replace the whole thing.

    The laptop was nice. The modular ports was kinda cool because you can choose your io. The nice part was being able to open the laptop and upgrade parts without voiding warrenty. I think this is hardware issues rather than linux compatibility issues.

    Maybe a Thinkpad would be more reliable for uni work





  • Its the mathematical term for estimation and constructing new data from existing data. In the context of what you are doing, it’s resizing images.

    You are doing something called linear interpolation. This works great for shrinking an image. However, have you considered what happens when your ASCII resolution is greater than your image resolution? This is where bilinear and bicubic interpolation come in.

    These algorithms are cool but are also massive overkill for your average use case. They only make a different in a very niche use case (when your ASCII resolution is greater than your image, such as pixelart)

    Great code! Very cool
