I prefer this Ubuntu

Also consider getting some portfolios of photographers you like. Really worth it for ideas and getting a sense of what makes a photo good or not.

I think the largest challenge though is maintaining the distribution and managing the associated upfront costs.

Existing large content producers could likely afford to handle this but new producers could struggle paying to seed their content.

Though I do think overall this is more achievable than people give it credit for:

• YT videos don’t need huge bandwidth for a sustained period; only for short bursts. Most views come in within a week.
• Content is probably localized to specific countries. Less need to replicate across the globe.
• Let the source prefer to seed the highest quality and other peers downsample and replicate as needed.
• Doesn’t need YT scale. Tons of YT “content” is spammers leeching essentially free hosting from YT. No one needs to seed their videos if they don’t want to.
• 1080p is still fine for YT videos. h265 is very efficient (though downsampling 265 isn’t great). Don’t need 4k for most videos.

Just adding to the chorus that while it’s cool and conveniently sized the screen just falls apart.

lol sure loser whatever

The fuck is with these stupid bots that try to turn every conversation into “muh immigration”

Yeah. Society is responsible for the outcomes of its children. It shouldn’t personally hurt your feelings but it should motivate your actions.

Welcome! And yeah versatility is great. FWIW 50-55mm is my favorite focal length and I personally shoot either that or crop to it 90% of the time. But the longer lengths give you that nice compression of the background and more opportunity for bokeh.

Really interesting perspective! It’s a great choice of location and subjects. You clearly have an eye for what’s pretty out there in the world.

As for a critique that could improve your future photography:

It’s a bit blurry. Since you had a relatively still scene I’d say next time take the time to drop your f-stop to maybe 4.0 and raise your shutter speed the same number of major f-stops to compensate (ie. 8.0 -> 5.6 -> 4.0 goes 1/125 -> 1/250 -> 1/500). This will keep your exposure about the same as 9.0 and 1/125 while increasing the separation between your focus and the background. It will also compensate for any camera shake while taking the shot. 1/500 or higher is particularly good for this.

If the intent was to show the divide between the water and the town it also couldn’t hurt to rotate a bit to the right. There’s a good deal of busy background in the left side of the photo and not only a bit of the town.

If the intent is to capture the black boat then it would make sense to get a little closer. A longer focal length like 85mm would also be great here.

I agree. So if people are hearing it and demonstrating it with decibel readers then there’s probably little to no sound dampening.

It could be but also datacenters are ridiculously loud and the sound is very high pitched. Would drive anyone nuts if they could hear it.

I cannot read. Even better.

The lack of a return type declaration makes this sooo good.

Hrmm. TIL. Thanks!

This fuckin quote is from Joseph Goebbels and was about one of his views on a Jewish conspiracy. I so hate this quote.

You know the problem but not the set of reasonable or practical solutions.

Anyways I and l look identical too in many fonts. Should we make them the same letter?

He got them a few and far far less than they asked for.

Again you do not because the world consists of more than your interests and job description.

In cases where something looks stupid but your knowledge on it is almost zero it’s entirely possible that it’s not.

The people that maintain Unicode have put a lot of thought and effort into this. Might be helpful to research why rather than assuming you have a better way despite little knowledge of the subject.
