Sometimes I say that there are “nice photos” and “good photos”. A nice photo is usually one which is technically good (focus, sharpness, composition, post processing etc.) and it’s pleasant to look at. Properties of good photos are much more difficult to nail down because they often break “rules” intentionally and they’re so varied… but they make you feel and/or think.
I remember that exact same verse! I had had multiple traumatic happenings in life and tried to study Bible to soothe my mind and find some answers. I read the whole thing and hoo boy was it eye-opening! I tried reading apologetics to allay my doubts but they seemed like dodging the questions and didn’t provide satisfying answers. Then I started reading stuff with historical critical approach and it started to make sense. I fell away from Christianity. Then I read other “holy” scriptures just make sure I wasn’t missing something and realized that they all had cool stories but that’s about it. So, I decided to rebuild my world view on something that wasn’t based on wishful thinking… and I’ve been a content atheist for 15 years.
I have ADHD too and in those few high stress / life or death situations I’ve been in, I suddenly felt super calm and focused while some other people were just screaming. I read somewhere that people with ADHD are overrepresented in first responders and similar jobs and I can believe that.
That being said, I very much agree with JackByDev. Yeah, ADHD is a disability. It has caused much pain and suffering for me and I wish I could get rid of it.
Joskus tuli ite sanottua että vihollinen kökkii jossain… yleensä tuli ymmärretyksi että kämppää =)
Ite käytän monesti termiä esilaskettu… laskemistahan se renderöintiki on jos ei nimenomaan tartte korostaa sitä visuaalista puolta.
Tarkkaan mietin Hitler-kortin käyttöä mutta tilanne on niin kovin verrannollinen…
I run Linux on all home computers, MacOS on work devices… if AMD’s 8x40 APU turns out about as good as it’s rumoured to be (efficiency-wise) I’ll probably try to get my company to get me a Framework laptop with that and then all will be well.
Anyway, I’m pretty sure Steam Deck is having an effect here. Not only do they seem to sell well on their own but people may get ideas when they see Linux-based device running games decently…
You’re welcome :) I hope you find a satisfactory solution.
Depends on conditions and what kind of birds but you’d need a pretty long lens (like in 300mm-600mm range), decent autofocus and enough image quality to resolve feather detail… it’s pretty tall order for a phone. I hear some people like Moment add-on lenses on their phones but I don’t think they make long telephoto lenses. Most of the long lens add-ons I’ve seen are of really questionable quality…
Back in the day Discord’s advantage was that it provided a way for people to set up a voice communication server with push-to-talk without any technical knowledge and for free. I don’t know how they’re ahead of competition now… I don’t know what their killer features are.
I use it occasionally but there are a few problems that always drive me away . 1) I have muted all the servers but I still get occasional sound notifications and just cannot find any source for them, might be a bug 2) there is no global notification history. To me that seems like a must-have feature and I don’t know how people stand to use discord without it 3) ui feels very clunky. To me it seems like I spend way too much time navigating through the ui and searching for things. For example, scrolling through the servers and trying to remember which icon was which. Anyway, I would be interested in hearing why people do use it besides everybody being there.
Yeah, translations are bit of a double edged sword… if they’re well made they are awesome… but if they’re poorly made they can ruin the whole experience. Anyway, thanks for the input!
A friend of mine used to play Stratovarius - Black Diamond and Children of Bodom - Lake Bodom occasionally on car rides and I had to look them up … and then more stuff like it. Melodic death metal is still my favourite genre :)
Yup, a lot of my time got wasted on YouTube… I watched “educational” and “interesting” videos but I have to say that many of the creators got caught into enshittification process too… I would do well with 95% reduction in watch time. However, if they start a real war against adblockers… 100% reduction will it be.
I think they were lamenting the fact that people don’t seem to recognize why capitalism’s inherent forces tend to cause enshittification of services. That it’s not just a bad CEO that causes this but the inevitable squeeze that will happens where user good-will is exchanged for money. This is why hopping from privately owned central service to another will not solve that problem… but decentralized services that are not owned by any single agent (and therefore can’t be bought, can’t be turned into value for investors) can resist it.
It’s good to see people here, good to see people protesting and taking control. So, I welcome you (if that amounts to anything :D) However, I wish people also take stock and ponder why social media service after another turns into crap… :)
Ei taida olla mahdollista piholen tasolla kun mainokset tulee samasta paikasta kuin muukin sisältö… mutta paljon muita mainoksia ja seurantakikkareita se kyllä blokkaa :)
Iteki pistin piholesta redditin bänniin… vois laittaa sen redirectaa tänne lemmyn puolelle. Jos on kauheet vierotusoireet niin voi sitte vaikka tuottaa sisältöä tänne =)
Sounds like they’re not going away yet. But if youtube really manages to shut it down… that’s going to cure my youtube addiction.
And the “best” part? I’ve sometimes checked what happened to the godawful bosses that literally bankrupted promising companies and were all kinds of incompetent assholes… well, they got into bigger and bigger companies! I’m sure they’re doing stellar job there too… why would they otherwise be paid big bucks? We’re playing a rigged game and pretending it makes sense… and we’re supposed to accept that that’s “just how the world works”.
