Man oh man did I read that title wrong and was completely confused

Do you have something else going on perhaps? The very top item on that FB link was an ad, followed by 2 posts, then another ad

What do you do when "voting with your wallet" makes you unhappy?

I'm not here to bash Linux, Android, Apple, or Windows. I like windows (10 at least) better than OSX or any distro for desktop use. I like iPhone better than Android.

Voting with my wallet just means I'm not as happy as what I currently have chosen.

> As a comparison point, many people shoot street photography "from the hip", aiming the camera at the rough spot they want to get with a forgiving aperture setting (around 8 or more).

Interesting you say this as I have been on my photography journey these last 2 years and keep hearing the opposite opinion: People "cheating" by using a low aperture so they don't have to think about the entire composition as it gets blurred out.

A password manager can both take care of remembering unique passwords and allow privacy options

> House after house where no front yard has anything for anyone, and quite long distances before you get somewhere you might be welcome, or have a chair.

This is very bizarre to me. I never once thought about a chair as a child. _If_ you got tired you just took a seat anywhere or just laid down.

An empty lawn was the perfect place to play any number of things. Even better was when 2 empty backyard lawns connected and there wasn't much/any landscaping for some really big activities.

There's a difference between picking a car out of a lineup to play in a game and taking (a lot of) money to buy a Ferrari.

I too would pick fun/weird stuff to play, but if I had Ferrari money I wouldn't be touching this.

I was in web agencies since like 2002-2015, always got PSDs from either clients or internal designers

> even Apple's own executives were sometimes surprised by the internal financial reports.

Was this recorded or just people drawing lines between Epic's expert witness claims and the executives trying to down play them?

we take a webcam to keep eye on dogs sometimes. I use a travel router for that

Man, those are 2 apps I haven't touched in decades. They felt novel at the time, but they just aren't as fast for me since it requires leaving my IDE which already has both CLI and visual git methods (I use intellij products)

Well you weren't too far off. Already calls for execution on the spot for barking and role playing robocop or something. Some very stable minds or russian bots, I dunno.

Not sure why this is on HN at all tbh

You imply you either would believe his word or would short nvidia yourself if he said he was. If not, why not?

on firefox at least, the WASD controls seems inverted?

Doom is the defacto "I wonder if we can get it to run on x" program

Definitely a US based phenomenon, but sadly like other US based things it spreads to other countries. I talk with friends in CA and EU who are seeing some of the junk we saw 10 years ago with "what is fact"

You would think common sense prevails...

Kinda sidebar here, apologies, but a question for any DSLR/Mirrorless owners out there:

I've always been frustrated by the reach of phone cameras and finally got a mirrorless and 100-400 lens. It is an aps-c so the equivalent max focal length is 640mm which has been great for wildlife or some long views out on a hike. The sensor is 32.5MP which knocks the socks off my old iphone 12 pro, however this new 16 (or maybe it started with 15?) is 48MP.

Now I know its going to be unlikely we see a phone camera with the reach - but what about landscape photography? Would a 16 pro on a tripod be able to compete with real camera gear. I assume you can focus stack or bracket with ProRAW? This hobby is expensive and just trying to decide if I invest in a lens (my only other one is the kit lens) for landscape.

Final output would be for a 4k tv (samsung frame is nice for that) or possibly print

Hopefully after this cycle the MAGAism dies out (assuming Trump doesnt win) and politics becomes boring again

For sure, but there are all kinds of bad photoshops out there where it is super easy to tell, much like bad AI images that stick out like a sore thumb (or 2 thumbs).

But getting good at photoshop takes a lot of effort (as well as a license or a will to use it otherwise), that will remain the same. The same can't necessarily be said for AI images which have been improving year over year and becoming more and more accessible.

You got me to click, thinking there would be some kind of insight, but then I was greeted with people arguing over "last night" vs "that night" typo.

Just out of curiosity, which country(s?) refer to that as tipping?

You'd also need customer service to handle all the problems

> What did this people do before all of these apps came into play?

The same thing we do now: get takeout, sit down at the location, or cook at home.

Hell, even before these apps were invented I always just went and got my pizza or grabbed it on the way home.

The 2015+ timeline definitely tracks with my wife's anecdotal experience. She's been working in pediatrics (exclusively at Children's Hospitals) since 2003 and the amount of kids she sees with self harm or suicide attempts has grown so much in the recent years.

Think of them like snowflakes

It is unfairly funded. The ensuring part requires the same time and effort for

Free apps, apps that make money off ads, apps that cost $1, apps that charge a monthly fee, apps that resell products where a 30% cut exceeds their margin.

Perhaps the stores should change to a model of choose your own adventure: pay per release or % cut. What would you say is a fair amount to charge per release - keeping in mind apple/google will want to maintain their insanely high profits from the app stores?

Brando Sando or Wheel of Time :)

I wouldn't call audiobook "settling", I enjoy them more than books with a great narrator.

What got me back into reading was Harry Potter. I hadn't read a book for fun since middle school and had grown to loathing reading of any kind from all the assigned reading. (just give me the cliff notes).

HP was new, all the rage, and wife convinced me to give it a try (she had always been an avid reader). I had maybe 3 books to catch up on and I read them all back to back and was eagerly awaiting the 4th. We'd do midnight releases and each buy our own book and didn't sleep till we were through.

manual brute force doesn't really sound like a fun way to "hack"

I enjoy scifi/fantasy but had no clue who Michael Moorcock is.

Are his books good or this just a jealous ranty guy?
