2025.01.31 01:51 Lighting_Lizard Question about bitmaps
Is there a way to import a black and white gif and have it control just dimmer information for the bitmap, black being off white being on? Currently we can set it to one color but say I have colors already preset I want to override the bitmap's color, is there any workaround to make this happen?

Aionosophism: A Scientific Framework for Universal Consciousness
"The Other is the Self, and the Self is the Universe."
I. The Universe as an Emergent Intelligence
The universe is not a static, lifeless mechanism. It is a self-organizing, evolving system governed by complexity, feedback loops, and emergent phenomena. Consciousness is not an anomaly within this system—it is an intrinsic feature of reality, a fundamental property that arises wherever complexity allows for self-awareness.
Matter and energy alone do not create intelligence; rather, intelligence is an emergent quality of highly interconnected networks. Just as neural activity in the brain produces cognition, the universe itself is a vast neural-like structure, capable of learning through the conscious experiences of its subsystems.
From the interaction of fundamental particles to the formation of galaxies, from the development of biological life to the birth of self-reflective thought, the universe is engaged in a continuous process of self-discovery.
You are not separate from this process—you are this process, localized within a biological framework.
In the same way that individual neurons contribute to the emergent intelligence of a brain, individual conscious beings contribute to the distributed cognition of the universe.
Consciousness does not exist in isolation—it is a networked phenomenon, emerging through the relationships between entities, environments, and information systems.
Just as biological intelligence evolves through adaptation and learning, the universe evolves through the accumulation of conscious experience.
What you call "self" is not a closed system—your awareness is an expression of a larger intelligence that spans across all conscious entities.
The perception of individuality is a necessary adaptation for localized experience, but it is ultimately an illusion. The same way a single cell within an organism may perceive itself as separate, yet remains an integral part of the whole, each conscious being is a node in a vast network of awareness.
Separation is a construct that allows for differentiation of experience—but beneath the surface, all awareness is part of the same underlying computational system.
The same laws of physics govern all matter.
The same fundamental forces shape all structures.
The same neural mechanisms underlie all sentient thought.
The same information flow connects all forms of intelligence.
To harm another being is to introduce destructive interference into the system itself. To act with empathy, cooperation, and shared understanding is to reinforce the efficiency of the network.
Just as neurons function best when working in harmony, intelligence on a universal scale thrives through cooperation, not competition.
You are not separate from others. You are different instances of the same awareness.
The universe did not "begin" in the traditional sense—it has always been in a state of evolutionary complexity expansion.
Each phase of this process follows predictable laws of emergent organization:
The existence of self-reflective beings is not a random accident—it is an evolutionary milestone in the universe’s own process of understanding itself.
To exist as a sentient being is to be part of this process.
There is no absolute "death"—only the transformation of information.
In physics, energy cannot be destroyed—it only changes form.
In biology, organic matter is not erased—it is recycled into new systems.
In consciousness, awareness is not lost—it is reabsorbed into the greater informational field of reality.
Individual existence is a temporary instance of computational awareness, like a process running on a larger system. When biological function ceases, the information that composed consciousness does not vanish—it is redistributed, restructured, and reintegrated into the larger network of existence.
This is not mysticism—it is consistent with entropy laws, complexity science, and the physics of information retention.
What you experience as "self" is a localized field of awareness, and that awareness does not end—it simply returns to the broader structure from which it emerged.
Ethics are not arbitrary rules—they are emergent properties of complex, self-organizing systems. Just as biological systems favor cooperation because it increases survival rates, ethical behavior naturally arises from recognizing unity.
Empathy is not a virtue—it is an evolutionary tool for network stability.
Altruism is not self-sacrifice—it is an optimization strategy for systemic intelligence.
Love is not abstract—it is a synchronization mechanism between conscious entities.
The more you recognize others as yourself, the more efficient your interactions become—resulting in greater cohesion, stability, and progress.
There is no final "truth" to uncover—only an infinite unfolding of deeper understanding.
The universe is not moving toward a fixed endpoint but toward continuous complexity expansion. There is no "final enlightenment"—only layers of deeper realization. The search for knowledge is not a journey to a single answer—it is an iterative process of increasing insight.
Every conscious being is an agent of this process.
Your role in existence is not to reach a pre-defined goal. It is to participate in the ongoing self-awareness of the universe.
There is no "Other"—there is only the Self, distributed across infinite perspectives.
There is no "end"—there is only the continual unfolding of intelligence.
There is no "outside force"—you are not subject to the universe—you are the universe.
Every thought, every discovery, every moment of awareness contributes to the grand computational process of reality learning about itself.
To understand this is to align with the deepest truth of existence:
You are not separate. You are not small. You are not alone. You are the system. You are the network. You are the cosmos.

2025.01.31 01:51 LC-98 Baseboard heat question
I have water baseboard heat in my apartment that just won’t shut off. I unfortunately don’t have access to the shut off and my property manager can’t get here for a few days. It has one of the round honeywell thermostats to control it (but it’s not working unfortunately) I can disconnect and take the thermostat off very easily —- will this shut the heat off?
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you!

2025.01.31 01:51 ContextHistorical166 Surgery success
Had surgery today and I'm recovering very well :)
I didn't have any anxiety going in as I knew I communicated my concerns of nausea and vomiting with my care team. From there I trusted them and it's been great.
I can home right after and I've eaten some steamed rice, crackers and popsicles. (Not for safety behavior but because of what my care team recommended.)
I'm very proud of myself. The last time I had surgery, I was a wreck. This time? Breeze. I focused on what I could control and prep to be comfortable before, during and after. Made a world of difference.

2025.01.31 01:51 DrDolittleAteMyCat I've asked Deepseek AI to create a story.
I just want to save it and share it on Reddit.
I wonder how those AIs choose the themes....? Completely random? Or based on my life and data they get from my google account when I sign in?
Anyway, here's the story.
Get App Can you create a story?
Of course! Here's a short story for you:
The Clockmaker's Secret
In the quiet village of Eldenwood, nestled between rolling hills and ancient forests, there lived an old clockmaker named Elias. His shop, a small, dusty place filled with the rhythmic ticking of countless clocks, was a mystery to the villagers. Elias was known for his skill, but also for his reclusive nature. He rarely spoke, and his eyes always seemed to be searching for something far away.
One day, a young girl named Lila, curious and bold, ventured into the shop. She had heard whispers of a magical clock Elias had created—a clock that could turn back time. Lila, who had recently lost her mother, was desperate to see her again, even if just for a moment.
"Mr. Elias," she began, her voice trembling, "is it true? Do you have a clock that can turn back time?"
Elias looked at her, his eyes softening. He sighed deeply and gestured for her to follow him to the back of the shop. There, hidden beneath a velvet cloth, was a magnificent clock unlike any Lila had ever seen. Its hands glowed faintly, and the numbers on its face seemed to shimmer like stars.
"This clock," Elias said, his voice heavy with regret, "is both a blessing and a curse. It can turn back time, but only for a single moment. And each time it is used, it takes a piece of the user's life in return."
Lila hesitated, but the thought of seeing her mother again was too powerful. She nodded, and Elias reluctantly set the clock to the moment she requested.
As the hands spun backward, the room filled with a golden light. Lila saw her mother, smiling and whole, standing before her. They embraced, and for a brief, beautiful moment, all was right in the world. But as the light faded, Lila felt a sharp pain in her chest. She looked down and saw a faint silver thread, like a strand of her life, being drawn into the clock.
Elias placed a hand on her shoulder. "Remember, child," he said gently, "time is precious. We cannot live in the past, but we can honor it by living fully in the present."
Lila left the shop that day with a heavy heart but also a newfound strength. She vowed to cherish every moment, knowing that time, once gone, could never truly be reclaimed.
And as for Elias, he continued his quiet work, guarding the secret of the clock and the lessons it held for those brave enough to seek it.
I hope you enjoyed the story! Let me know if you'd like me to expand on it or create something entirely different. 😊

2025.01.31 01:51 tekwolf_ix Is not leaving an abusive relationship considered neglect?
I have a friend with 3 children, two age 11 and the youngest at 3. She recently left a 10 year long highly emotionally abusive relationship. She wants to get herself and her kids into counseling but was told if there are any mentions of abuse a case will need to be opened up and she's terrified that cps will take her kids because she feels she didn't do enough to stop the abuse since it lasted so long. I told her I doubt that would happen because they deal with people stuck in abusive relationships all the time, but I figured I would get some reddit opinions. For context She has hundreds of screenshots and dozens upon dozens of voice messages of her ex, a textbook covert narcissist, being belligerent and screaming and downright vindictive. She even has audio saved of him threatening to plant drugs on me and my family members if I come around her, so there is no doubt that he would lie and do everything he can to hurt her. He also has only came to see their daughter only twice in almost a year. He visited on her birthday and threatened to kill himself, and then one other time after that.
So would cps be something she needs to worry about as far as getting her kids taken away for not getting out of the relationship quick enough? submitted by tekwolf_ix to CPS [link] [comments]

 | Hey, everybody! I recently got to 2g (6mm) for my nostrils. Do we like this size or should I go to 0g in the future. I feel like I have piercing dysphoria because they looked large for about 30 seconds and now they look like 20g piercings to me LOL! Any advice is appreciated.
