minus-squarehowrar@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 days agoMore like someone didn’t want to go through the extra work of smoothing things out.
minus-squareTroy@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 day agoIt’s interesting that it is smooth specifically in the x direction, but the y direction has more abrupt changes.
