The answer is Yes, but you gotta pay for it! You can get "practical video lighting" - these are lights designed to replace standard bulbs but don't have the flicker of normal lighting.

Yes, exactly this.

When compilers came along, some people honestly thought it would dumb down programming so much that anyone could do it.

When high level programming languages came along, they rejoiced again - now finally anyone can make software.

When Intellisense meat you no longer had to remember variable names, write your own imports and could guess how most libraries work, the bells rang out once again in celebration.

And now we have AI, it's cool but really just another step like all those steps before. For me, it's a replacement for the documentation I never read anyway. I can ask an AI a stupid question rather than bothering a human developer.

These days it's my job to manage a small team of developers - when I ask them why they wrote a stupid thing that makes no sense, 90% of the time, the answer is that an AI wrote it for them.

Can someone explain what just happened?

I just liked the new one more. Also the vehicle tax will go up on any vehicle bought after April 2025 (in the UK), so there's probably going to be a lot of deals.

Anyway, if I do upgrade it won't be another Tesla.

Mind of Steele:

It's a weekly news report, but all the subjects are C-list conspiracy theorists.

The show is named after a British Conspiracy theorist called Mark Steele - this guy literally made a show a week about Steele until nobody would associate with him and he shut down his channel.

These days he makes videos about another conspiracy influencer - Richard Vobes. He said he's going to keep making videos about the guy until Vobes shuts down his channel.

Can someone ask r/askconservatives how they feel about this plan?

[–] fadhl3y 14 points 2 weeks ago (10 children)

I own a 5yo Tesla. I would have upgraded, except for the fact that giving more money to Musk is horrific.

You didn't say why you wanted flicker free bulbs - if it's because you make videos, welcome to the exciting world of cinematic lighting. All lights for videography are flicker free, but expect to pay accordingly.

Can I get some love for Stewart Lee?

Mastabatorium?

 

I noticed that this YouTuber uses an effect where a still photo is brought to life, usually with a gentle pan or zoom effect.

Is this a plugin, or just somebody manually chopping up the image with Photoshop and then putting it back together with After Effects?

Spotted today in London, England. What is this clear plastic shelf below the car's license plate?

 

I’m running another free comedy show at The Glitch on Lower Marsh. This show is totally free, just turn up. If you find me (just ask for Sal), a pint of the usual for anybody who tells me that they found out about the night via this post.

Is there a way to connect Matrix to MS Teams? And for bonus points, Zoom's messaging system?

 

Have some classic early 2000s meme-rock

I could have connected one of many affordable and excellent-quality webcams to my computer, but I think this is better. Nikon's new 24mm f1.7 lens is really good for desk-based closeup work.

Can we have some love for London's longest alley?

Waiting for Lana (lemmy.world)
 

I took this photo at BST Hyde Park today. Lana did eventually perform and she wasn't cut off like at Glastonbury.

 

"But her emails!"

Insisting on similarity is a kind of lie to make Clinton’s conduct look worse than it was, to make Trump’s look more benign than it was, or both at the same time.

 

I enjoyed this video because vast sections of London, are easily recognizable from this 60 year old video:

"A Journey from Castrol House in Marylebone Road London, to the City of Bath in a MKII Jaguar in 1963. Advanced motorist George Eyles takes us through London, out over the Hammersmith Flyover (an area which has really changed a lot) and follows the A4 West onto Reading and a newly built section of the M4. Later he passes through Newbury, Hungerford, Chippenham, Malborough, Calne, and ends at Bath. It is fascinating to see how all these towns and roads looked back then"

 

Some friends of mine are running a free evening of improv comedy at The Cavendish Arms, near Stockwell.

Cavendish Arms is best known as a stand-up comedy venue, but they’ve opened their stage to this bunch of scriptless weirdos. Please come along for an evening of free entertainment. We've booked some of London's best teams of improvisers.

I’m going to be there, and I will personally buy a pint for anyone (up to 5 people) who tells me that they saw this ad on Lemmy!
