…never did before?!

One thing that’s really clunky is checking the list of followers and followed accounts: depending on which instance is each account, these lists are either incomplete or empty. I don’t know if I do something wrong, but I was trying to get up to speed with Mastodon by discovering interesting accounts to follow- which is not trivial - and found the aforementioned problem. I use a third party app and various web front ends, including the “official” ones (you are forced to when you look for the list of followed/followers)

And quality is a small piece of the puzzle: experimentation, choice and fun factor are the bread and butter of this hobby.

Pretty much. She was in “The Left” party, which is quite, let’s say, nostalgic of the wonderful DDR past of some parts of Germany. Then a couple of years ago she formed her own party, literally named after her, that brought her to be the “veteran” as in “didn’t make the cut to the parliament”. She’s an embarrassment, no wonder Russian trolls spit out such interviews with her :)

Ach die Sahra, sie soll doch lieber nach ihrem Lieblingsdiktaturland hinreisen und bitte da bleiben… danke!

She is a joke of a populist idiot, if she says something, is most probably wrong 👌🏻

Ok now that part makes more sense, thanks for the correction.

Do you have any suggestions for iPad and or mobile versions of Darktable? Nitro runs on iOS, iPadOS and MacOS and I use it regularly on all three platforms

Nice write up, I will for sure check out Darktable again 👌🏻

You know a lot more than me! Interesting post, thanks :)

So on the muddled part (PetaPixel is pretty generalist and simplifies a lot): the actual difference is given by the processing and not strictly by the decoder? I don’t like how Apples “RAW pipeline” handles Canon RAW, so I either use the toggle in Nitro to bypass it (and start with a LOG-like image for a video comparison) or have to rely on the horrendous Canon DPP. All three cases give me different results in colors and noise (with the native Canon solution usually giving the best image, unfortunately)

It’s not only decoding, but also interpreting: each RAW decoder gives indeed different results.

Not really, I always had pretty neutral striking. The good thing, in my view, is that minimal footware forces you to stride correctly. One should not overthink forefoot strike, it can do more bad than good. An actual good strike is putting the whole foot down, with the front impacting slightly before the heel. Full forefoot striking is only possible while sprinting.

Full convert here, cannot wear anything else (apart from on road bike shoes for obvious reasons).

Really nice post! But I rate converse as flat but stiff and heavy, in addition to narrow.

Take it easy with running or you risk injuring yourself! I run either with Vibram FiveFingers or with sandals, the ground feel and control is unsurpassed, but you have to slowly get used to it. Then you can run barefoot on concrete with no problems :)

I moderate a community, if you’re interested: !barefoot_shoes@lemmy.world

For wallpapers you don’t need high res, 4K is 8MP and 8K is 32MP (your phone should have 50 Megapixel). I don’t think you would see any improvement with cheap cameras, which will always be more burdensome to bring with you than your phone. If you want to open yourself to big step up in quality, go full frame with good used lenses. Crispness is given by the lens, not the sensor. There are new ~1000€ full frame cameras that are really good: Nikon Z5 II (stills focused) and Canon R8 (faster sensor, better for video but other downsides) are the best value. With used lenses you could keep the kit price pretty low.

The road to redemption has started

The question by Oxjox is very relevant! Depending on the SW you might see a RAW file interpreted with the additional style information from the Velvia preset. I would expect Fujifilm own RAW processor to do this. And for sure in the camera itself, you won’t ever see the unedited RAW file.

Thanks for the explanation! I interpreted it correctly, but really thought you misspelled something :D

I learned something new.

If you want to get leaner and stronger, you should focus on bigger movements and not single muscle concentrated exercises. Pull ups, rows, bench press, deadlifts and squats. After whole body lifts, you can focus on single muscles like biceps. If you do them while fatigued by other lifts, you have to tune the load accordingly.

Most important of all: look at your form and stick to the movement. Let the weights down before going out of form. Weight is the tool, not the target (in your case!)

Body English? :)

Are you looking for an echo chamber that fits your views or what do you mean with “tolerate”? If you keep it civil and back up your arguments, I see a lot of potential for serious discussions on a lot of instances.

I tried one almost new (a “new vintage” from Zassenhaus that sells new for 80€!) and it was so miserable that I couldn’t believe it: grind setting changed while spinning and not smooth at all. Metal burrs, but unusable…

Same here, a couple of days ago I was scrambling to order a sun filter and get it in time for the eclipse, and then I checked the weather forecast… no need to hurry, next eclipse in September
