Admin of lemmy.blahaj.zone
I can also be found on the microblog fediverse at @[email protected] or on matrix at @ada:chat.blahaj.zone
The one thing I’ve been thinking about (but haven’t yet done) is using it for the Insta 360 camera app (an app for editing/exporting videos from 360 panoramic cameras). It’s actually more feature rich than the desktop version, which doesn’t have a linux version in any case, so using it to quickly reframe my videos and export them to something non proprietary would be a whole lot easier…
Maybe I’ll try and get that working today…
The best help you can give someone in distress is hearing them, whilst you redirect them to a place that can help with empathy and compassion.
Any form of automated message comes across as the exact opposite of empathy and compassion.
In addition, speaking as the admin of a trans and queer community, I don’t have any special tools or abilities to help people. Sending the report to me doesn’t let me help them, because they’re almost certainly not in my country, and I don’t have any special access that enables me to contact them or reach out to them. The tool I do have, is the instance itself that we host, that allows people to connect with their community and their peers, that allows them to struggle, and that shuts down anyone who would try and add to the hurt of someone on the edge.
Which is to say, I don’t think a reddit style feature has a place here. It will let people think they’re helping, without actually doing so, as well as providing a new vector for abuse (though that would be less of an issue than on reddit). In theory, an automated list of resources that could be called on could be useful, but again, if someone is struggling, they need to feel heard, and automated replies can come across as dispassionate and uncaring.
It means you won’t end up with dual boot breaking one of your installs, you won’t accidentally overwrite anything etc.
Entirely optional, but if you were already planning on removing it anyway, it’s not really any extra work
If you’ve got two slots and a modern motherboard, you can do the same thing but keep both m.2 devices installed. If you really want to be sure, take out the windows device, install Linux on the second, and then put the windows device back in. You’ll be able to swap back to windows if needed that way without swapping things out
My RC hovercraft! I loved that thing, but it had such a short battery life, it was basically unusable
The hot water tap in my shower turned itself completely off one day.
The whole gender thing? And I say that as a trans person. It’s real, but I can’t explain it…
That feels off somehow, or at least, the unsolved problem part isn’t as narrow as that makes it seem.
I can recognise a place, just like a face. I don’t eliminate options, I just recognise it. I can recognise voices the same way.
I don’t understand how faces are different in this context?
Yep. The first trans people in my life that helped me when I was struggling to come out were trans men. And they were the first people I had ever spoken to about this stuff where I didn’t have to explain everything. They just got it…
It’s not so much that lemmy doesn’t keep it. JPG and WebP files themselves are limited to about 8 stops of dynamic range, so it doesn’t matter where you upload them, they’re not going to give you the same dynamic range you had in post processing from a RAW file
Friendica, and to a lesser extent, misskey and it’s forks
Faux outrage isn’t playing around though. They’re not doing it for fun, they’re doing it for social capital.
And that’s why it’s good that it’s an option! I just don’t want it to become the only option
10/10 this is the future of Linux.
I hope it’s a future of Linux, not the future. I’m not a fan of atomic distros, mostly because if their reliance on flatpak and the like
Open world games don’t hold me, because ironically, they tend to feel too small. When you can walk from one side of the setting to the other in real time, it all feels small.
As an instance admin, if I regularly see reports for a local community that break community rules but not instance rules that sit without action for 24 hours or more, that’s when I’ll get involved with the community to try and get more active mods.
If the reports are for posts that break instance rules, I’ll action them whether or not there are local mods active.
And there’s Nik Dimopoulos, the gay guy that lived next to a queer bookshop. Police broke in to his apartment, failed to identify themselves and then fractured his arm so bad that bone in his upper arm was broken in to multiple pieces. And he wasn’t the guy they were looking for…
Apologies if this question comes off as insulting, but just to confirm, if you’re shooting manual, when you adjust the ISO to keep the exposure value the same right? The photo you’ve got there looks slightly underexposed to me
That being said, assuming you are keeping the exposure value equal, then conventional wisdom says that you get slightly less contrast (including colour contrast) with a wide open aperture. So if you set the ISO faster, and don’t change your shutter speed, your aperture will be smaller, and you should be getting more colour contrast.
On top of that, each lens has its own “sweet spot” where it gives you the best image quality (sharpness, contrast, saturation etc) generally but not always somewhere around f/8.
So if you haven’t already, true adjusting your ISO to 160, and getting your aperture as close to f/8 as you can, and adjust the shutter speed to achieve that.
