I'm an enthusiast amateur photographer with nice DSLR and a few mirrorless cameras. And I shoot a lot on automatic. It's fine. Semiauto and manual is usually only needed if you have specific ideas about exposure.
Also you can fix soooo many mistakes in the post. When people tell me their cellphone photos look naff, I tell them to just try levels / curves / white balance tools, and those are in every photo editor. Will help a lot.
I post photos online, and despite the fact that the platforms (Tumblr, and I think Pixelfed too?) scrub exif data, I do it manually anyway.
Pro tip:
exiftool -overwrite_original -All= file.jpgFor me OneDrive "memories" are from my wallpaper folder or Xbox screenshots.
Google "memories" are food diary photos (on days when my food budget is spent, Google loves to show me photos of the massive pizzas I ate years ago, because it knows) or random sunsets. (Except for that photo collage with cheery music from my grandma's funeral. Why did it have to do that specifically. Just asking.)
Fun thing, I don't want to get YouTube Premium because YouTube has a huge bunch of bugs and glitches and crap UI design and since they're the only service in the niche there's been no indication they'll ever fix their shit.
I didn't care about YouTube Music, so losing ads on stock YouTube apps was literally the only reason I was even considering getting Premium.
But if it doesn't even do the one job...?
Yup, doesn't surprise me.
I also have a NAS box that's out of support. Turned off all of the nifty services and firewalled the shit out of it so it won't be visible outside the LAN even by accident. Will replace it with a FreeBSD box as soon as I get a new hard drive.
I don't think I've had a single USB-C cable/connector/socket fail yet. Which can't be said of Micro-USB.
But other than that, meh.
Does PDF actually allow some objects to be invisible on screen but visible on print? Because that'd be cool.
It's 2225. Archaeologists discover yet another long forgotten university library storage facility. Inside, they find stacks of Elsevier journals that have never been opened. They then find puzzling coffee stains that somehow appear to be result of the printing process, and conclude that the cultural significance of these markings was probably lost to the ages.
I tried to reupload the full 600 DPI scan but lemmy.world decided to start coughing - though I don't think uploading it at higher quality is worth it, as the 2000px wide version is already pretty representative of the original.
I think the full PNG is already of printable quality. If you really need it in PDF format for some purpose or other, I recommend just grabbing the PNG and converting it. I may see later if I can convert the 600DPI scan to PDF though.
A solid game in its current state. Probably one of the best games of the decade for me, just not in top 5. Has that "once you start playing, suddenly it's 3 hours later" factor. Extremely atmospheric world design. Lots of great writing too.
Now, it does have the annoying thing that it sometimes keeps reminding me of games that did some aspect better. For example: Vehicle physics feel completely hokey. ("Man, I wish I was playing Saints Row 3/4") Can't really go exploring everywhere, would have loved to explore more rooftops and such. ("Man, I've got to get back to Mirror's Edge") Not exactly a prime stealth game in accordance with the laws of the art form. ("Man, Deus Ex was the shit, got to play it")
Blender tutorials are like:
OK you start Blender up, you delete the default cube...
Lemmy installation tutorials are like:
OK you install Lemmy on your server, you defederate from Hexbear...
I mean, every other device with a clock that I have use NTP.
All of the cameras I have do have wifi/bluetooth, but at least as far my Nikon cameras go, last time I tried it using the app reliably on my phone was a bit of a hassle. Ricoh pocket camera was said to have an app but everyone complained how terrible it was so I didn't even bother to try it. Setting the time manually is just easier for all of the cameras.
The only camera that I have that had a reliable and easy app-based time sync was my GoPro. But then GoPro replaced their old app with this current nonsense. It just straight up doesn't pair my camera to my phone any more and pushes a subscription thing and I heard them talk about EOLing the camera ("excuse me, how the f do you 'EOL' a camera", asks this Nikon girl with a lens from the 1980s). So I had to figure out how to set the clock manually.
Ah, this will be the Department of Dunning-Kruger. The workers are idiots who think they are supergeniuses. Led by an idiot who thinks he's a supergenius.
During Trump's first term, this was just a metaphor, suggested by random comedians. Now, life will imitate art to its full extent.
