Kinda makes sense tho. Either they earn money on you from ads or they make money from you because of subscription. Or you’re like me and you still block the ads even though YouTube does everything it can to stop you.

I wouldn’t really mind watching some ads before a video, but I don’t wanna get constantly interrupted or have the ads track me everywhere. I tend to watch the in-video ads from creators tho, because most people I follow have relevant ads, funny ads, or ar the very least deserve some revenue.

Sorry I missed this comment before. I used an app on my phone for this called Lightmeter, because my camera is quite unreliable sometimes. Phoenix doesn’t have a lot of dynamic range, and while it’s listed as iso 200, most people have reported better results shooting at 125 and developing normally. It’s an experimental film and struggles a lot with underexposure. I don’t think there would’ve been any exposure where I could’ve gotten the shadows and highlights properly exposed together, the highlights probably don’t have a lot of headroom anymore

Some countries have honey bee colonies that turn agressive. But normal honey bees, the ones in the picture, are usually homies that won’t sting unless seriously agitated. And unlike those fucking wasps they don’t repeatedly put themselves in a position to be agitated. As a kid I used to be obsessed with insects. I’ve been stung by bees and wasps multiple times. Every time a bee stung me it was my fault, I tried to catch them so I could see them better, often thinking it was one of those hover flies pretending to be a bee. Wasps however have repeatedly stung me because they’re assholes. And way more often they’ve almost stung me because they’re assholes. Bumblebees are extremely chill, they usually just let me do whatever, although I also tended to leave then alone.

What do you expect? France isn’t able to remove a democratically elected leader, nobody but the people of the USA can do that. From Europe we can call those fuckers clowns, we can punish the US as a whole for choosing these clowns (or at least for letting them rise to power), but even for that we have to be careful because we have plenty of incentive to not go in too hard. Europe won’t help, Europe shouldn’t have to help. US Americans created this problem and they’re the only ones we can ultimately solve it.

Uhhh tip: learn to relax before your body decides to teach you. I didn’t and I’m almost a year into a burn-out. Not knowing how to relax is not funny or quirky, it’s a one-way road to severely fucking you brain up.

You’ve clearly never been drunk and hungry. That’s not a viable or safe solution.

Yup, we’ve had that for a week or two. Managed to freeze in my summer jacked only once so far, and had a couple of instances where I was sweating my ass off when I misjuged the weather. Oh well, it’s wat better than the guaranteed cold an wet weather

For real. I type like a boomer, but I never had any problems at uni or work (as a developer). It’s not about how fast you’re typing but what you’re typing. And any good developer generally spends more time thinking or testing than typing.

Bur bad managers can’t accept this, they need dumb metrics like typing speed, added lines of code, useless certificates, etc

Barely, maybe. Definitely not smarter enough

This is an apt description of how I felt when watching The Acolyte. The fight scenes were cool, but I couldn’t help but feel like basically everyone was acting like an impulsive teen all the time and if they had just been a reasonable adult for basically 2 minutes the whole plot wouldn’t have happened.

Honestly just looks like normal lens flare where the sun is blocked by a tree branch. The flare is lens-dependent, but it’s also dependent on conditions. I doubt one could reliably fingerprint someone based on lens flare unless OP is like one of a few people using this lens

Because an average user would do that. Hell, I use Linux full-time and I didn’t know that PopOS in a huge transition. A user wants a gaming-focused distro an picks one. It should just work if we want all those Windows users to transition. He can’t do it right either, there will always be someone complaining about his choice. People here seem to think they’re an average user, when they’re really way above average in terms of technical knowledge. Even if Linus should maybe know better, it’s better that he does some dumb stuff because that’s what many people would do.

Oh, according to my notes this was shot at f/5.6 and 1/250th. I also had one at 1/1000th, which is what I actually metered it at as far as I can remember. While that shot has more detail in the highlights, most of the image is underexposed. Phoenix (1) really is a difficult film to satisfy, curious to see how Phoenix II changes things

Personally my worry really isn’t reincarnation, there’s no reason to believe that that’s true. But if these are fundamentally the same neurons that make up our brains, then how much do you need to put together before they acquire some form of “sentience”? Does a clump of 800,000 human neurons experience pain, sadness, a sense of self? Where is the line between an emotionless biocomputer and torturing a living organism for its entire lifespan?

Despite the fact that I really hate “AI”, that question was of course already sort of relevant for the latest AI models, even though we can generally conclude that they’re not there yet at all. But real neurons are different, we know what they’re capable of. How many do you need before a clump of neurons has rights?

Yeah moving doesn’t seem to lose weight (unless you’re very overweight). It’s very good for you, but muscle isn’t lighter than fat. At some point I went from not running to running half marathons and I went from like 86 to 82 kg average, but that only really happened after I also changed my diet. Currently I stopped running temporarily because of some health reasons and I haven’t really gained much weight either, I just feel weaker.

Seriously? I have recently been working on my personal programming projects on my ThinkPad from 2014. That thing also has 8 GB RAM. It’s slow, but that’s only because the dedicated video card is no longer supported by NVIDIA. I was totally able to run PyCharm, my program (which was hungry for ram), and Firefox with quite some tabs open without any issues. And most people will be doing more basic stuff on this than what I was doing. Browsing around, editing some documents, viewing some photos. I’m not sure how heavy MacOS is, but I’ll assume it’s more like Linux than Windows. You can do a lot with 8GB if your OS isn’t gobbling up resources to spy on you, show you ads, or run some useless AI shit you didn’t ask for.

I agree that it’s not a lot, but this laptop is not meant for people who need to do more than what I mentioned, putting much more RAM in there would just creep up the price without really offering anything.

Note that I’m not an Apple fan or anything, I’ve never even used anything from Apple.

Imo he’s buying time for Europe. Most people here obviously despise the US. But we made ourselves reliant on them in every way. If Trump wants, he can absolutely ruin is right now. We need to decouple, but that takes time. Rutte is trying to manipulate Trump until he’s either gone or we’re self-sufficient enough to not need him anymore. And yes that means praising him for doing dumb shit, for doing illegal shit. But if that keeps us afloat for another few months then that’s what it takes.

Uhhh yeah. My PC is booted in less than half a minute, why would I let it waste energy the whole night just to boot slightly faster? Even when I booted off of an HDD I still did so.
