Hmm. I just tested it in Excel. “No fill” will make it transparent. White would cover the grid lines.
So, I guess it’s doable using a set of columns with identical colours. Calculating the values from a picture would also be possible - for a mad man.
The area under the guys face is blank. I’m not sure if it’s possible to stack a transparent colour.
Also the vertical sequence of colours is not the same through the horizontal axis. It could be done, but the right most girl would consist of completely different data than the first two people.
It would be a lot easier to do in other ways.

Google is even worse.
Climate Change: they should clean up as they go. It ought to be part of the production cost.
Immigration: Why aren’t the laws enforced? The issue is that employers absolutely do hire unregistered immigrants, otherwise they wouldn’t come. Even Trump himself has Mar-a-Lago staffed with illegal immigrants. Either make them legal, or stop the employers from dumping the employment market with “they took our jobs”-employees. It’s the most hypocritical thing. It’s not complex at all. It’s just racist slavery.
Compromise doesn’t have to mean giving up on anything. It’s more often about finding a middle way solution on an issue that both sides can accept.
This is how I would suggest compromising on each issue without either part giving up on any:
Abortion: Religious people can give up all the rights they want.
Gun control: Ban guns in cities. Allow them in the wilderness.
Climate change: Allow industries to pollute as long as they pay for cleaning it up.
Immigration: The whole thing could be solved by not allowing employers to hire people without their paperwork in order.
Culture wars: The fear is that certain cultures get to control others? Don’t allow anyone to force their culture on others.
Trump gets president: Okay, if all power is removed from the position, then he can be the representative of the country. Not a good one but whatever.
It is a Soviet or Polish gas mask from the 1950s. SzM-4m or similar.
The thumbnail looks like the bad Jesus restauration.
That’s the other way. English got a lot of words from the vikings.
No. Mayhem’s house is said to have been close to Oslo.
OPs picture is a stock photo from a small city further north, Flåm by Sognefjord.
Perhaps someone could make a business of it then.
Chromebooks sold well enough. Google made $30 billion on that in 2023.
Anyone willing to put together a physical Linux machine, market and support it could take a chunk of that.
It would be nice if it was possible to simply go to a website, check off on the stuff you want and then get a full package.
I liked the idea of AV Linux, because it comes in a bundle of stuff that I need, but it also comes with a lot stuff that I don’t need, and I’m not sure the desktop is my choice. It also didn’t really work at the time I tried it.(Some years ago).
So… if I, a stupid user, could simply go to a website, check mark at the desktop, check off which office package, music apps, browser, etc.etc. and then get a download of that in one go where it’s all set-up and works, it would be a lot easier than having to go through the process of installing the OS and then installing/removing apps, and then making it work…
Like, let’s say I want a PC just for music creation, I should be able to download the the OS with the DAW of my choice, all the VSTis and potentially also the most common free sound banks. In one file.
If I wanted an office PC, I should be able to get the OS, the office suite of choice and all the misc. PDF tools, email client and whatnot of choice. All in one go.
Windows and macOS sort of came with everything before, but these days they’re just as annoying to set up as any Linux distribution. Linux as a whole could take advantage of that situation by offering a prepackaged but custom installation.
Of course it would also help if someone made a Linux installer for windows, so users didn’t have to use windows to create a bootable USB. I think this is the step that normal users hesitate on. I don’t know if it’s possible, but it ought to be possible from software to partion the disc and install dual boot or something.
Yes. Linux Mint works “straight out of the box”.
It comes with a preinstalled browser (Firefox), so if you only use your computer for online stuff, then you dont need to do anything at all. Just use it.
The only technical thing you might want to do is to enter the WiFi password and find the software manager to install any additional apps you need.If you can install apps on your phone, then you can also install apps on Linux Mint.
I actually found that it was a lot easier to install Mint than setting up a new Windows pc. The most difficult part was using a windows pc to download it and making a bootable USB stick. Your friend can help you with that or you can follow a guide.
I have had zero issues and I have never written a single command line. It just works.
If the company buys “motivational presents” for employees… the company is already several years or more behind the employment market. You’re not unionizing hard enough.
Well, if you need to buy these seed in the first place, then you’re probably not in an environment where they’d usually grow. It takes time. At least more than one season to get it going.
My local municipality planted local wild annual seeds all over the city two years ago. It made a nice news article, but the flowers are all gone by now because they didn’t re-seed.
It’s be a racket.
I’ve played “it came from the desert”. I’ll take the tiny lions any day.
Just toss a bucket of water at them or adopt them and keep them in a terrarium.
Perhaps it should be decided by a cognitive test instead of age. This is a dangerous road though, because a lot of people with cognitive disabilities can and should be allowed to vote for themselves.
Maybe the test could be made to test if a person understands what an election is and them being able to form their own opinion.
The main issue isn’t age, but rather that a lot of people vote for something that they think others expect them to vote for without ever forming an opinion of their own.
However those people should also be allowed to represent themselves, so I think all elections ought to have the option of voting for “shit, I don’t know, I have no idea what’s this is about”, and if that vote came over a certain threshold, then the election should be void and postponed for a week.
