So Wide open = low coverage = small f stop -> lots of light -> “fast” shutter speed. And then the other way around. I think you finally worded it in a way it can stick in my brain! I like thinking about the f value as how much you’re covering the lens.

Do you have a good way to remember which way fast and slow f. stops go? I always have to trail and error when adjusting camera settings to go the right direction or especially listening to someone talk about aperture.

I assume it is GNU Hurd, their own kernel.

Believe it or not, but if you wrote down the melody for Bohemia rhapsody (from memory or not) and then sold it, you could be fined for copyright infringement. You can memorise it, you can even cover it, but you can’t just sell it. That part still applies to humans. It’s the redistribution of that information that’s important.

Jpeg XL is such an unsexy name though. (In my opinion) JPEG is already seen as an ancient format, there are plenty of even main stream memes about it’s artifacting quirks. And now you just want to slap more stuff on it? Make it extra large. Sounds like bloat to me!

To be real for a second; I’m sure it’s a fine format and suited for the future, but the name really does put me off it a bit 😄

I hope you mean 60hz is enough for TVs. Because I certainly don’t want that regression on my monitor 😄

In the case of BF 6 and fornite it’s “could run, but we actively don’t want you to”.

So I recently updated pop from 22.04 to 24.04. The only real headache I’ve had is running games through proton. Games now start in windows, which might not even show up at all until I super + F11 to full screen it. The mouse gets stuck in either a corner or the middle, sometimes the cursor works in the menus but stops working on the game itself. Gamescope can fix some of these issues, but alt-tabbing is always an adventure if it breaks the game or not.

An annoying thing is it is very hard to figure out where an issue lies. Is it wayland, is it Cosmic, is it gamescope, or proton? Any tips or tricks people might have would be appreciated.

It’s a shame, because I want to like Wayland. i don’t know what magic system 76 worked in x11 but the only issue I had before was some tearing when moving windows around. 2 monitors of different resolution and framerate with nvidia.

WhatsApp is using Signals protocol for communication: https://signal.org/blog/whatsapp-complete/

I don’t fully understand what it entails, but from what I understand is that yes, WhatsApp is using the same encryption and message flow that signal uses, but you’re still using Meta’s app, and they can just read the plaintext message from there.

And the EU has been on a roll recently with threatening privacy with chat control, net neutrality, rising right-wing politics in many countries. We’re not a mini america yet, but let’s not pretend it’s all roses and unicorns here, there is a lot of fighting still to be done.

You. When you said “we should” that does kinda imply you’re willing to engage in this as well :P

That’s a fair take. I can relate to the feeling of uncertainty. When I make small donations of a couple of euros I have to push away my feelings that the donation could be seen as insultingly low. It’s hard to judge what a “fair” price is. But after all, many donation buttons say “Buy me a coffee” so I would hope the amount is appreciated either way.

You’re not throwing money out the window though, you’re giving it directly to someone. Someone who has used their craft to create something that has value to you. I’m not necessarily criticising you for not donating, I just want to shift your perspective that your money wouldn’t be valued by other people.

Locking this comment. Duplicate of https://lemmy.world/comment/21433687

I have quite a few domains through them as well. Haven’t seen anything bad about them and I’ve been treated as a valued customer so far.

It’s not normal to become alienated from your SO because of a meme. The healthy thing for him to do is to open up to his SO about these feelings. This is the same thing as being mad at someone because they were mean in a dream. Bring it up in a conversation, laugh at the silliness of it, and move on.

Oh cool, I didn’t know that and it was the main fear I had from swapping. I really should have just looked it up by now, but oh well.

I don’t think many data hoarders are sitting on the AI generated stuff 😁

I’ve had Spotify since it basically released. I fully switched to a self hosted music library about 5 months ago. I imagine I’ve supported artists more in those 5 months than I did during my 18-ish years of Spotify premium. I still use Soulseek for large artists or quite old albums, but most new releases and remix tracks I pay for.

GPUs also need memory. So they aren’t escaping this from a consumer POV. Not to mention how production capacity is still being sucked up data centres, but now for AI.
