Asimov's Robot

It’s only been an year? I feel like that time was ages ago!

Yeah, all my bad experiences with Firefox from back in the day were completely gone when I switched back to it a couple of years ago.

At some point 15-20 years ago Firefox was becoming a resource hog and I switched to chrome. I switched back a number of years ago and regret not switching back earlier.

I love it, thanks for sharing! You chose the better frame as well!

But you’re paying for a service that uses you as a product. You are paying twice.

What an American problem. 😂

Yes, but it’s been more than 6 months since I’ve written in mine. I used it mainly to document my life and deal with mental issues. The past six months have been mostly daily struggles and ordinary life so I’ve had no incentive to go back and journal. I should fix this, grab the keyboard and resume!

A lot of non-native speakers can show higher command of the language, because they took the time to study its rules. Just look at how people type on social media.

Reddit’s street photography subreddit wasn’t that great to be honest. I’m trying to curate a street photography community here, but it is a slow process. !streetphotography@lemmy.world .

But I agree, I still go back for some niche content like the editors’ subreddit.

It’s rare that it could come up in conversation outside the topic of photography, but here it is: !streetphotography@lemmy.world

I’m trying to, reached 300 subscribers, but three of them posted once, several commented once and that’s it.

Photography looks deceptively easy. You just go out and click a button. It’s so much more than that. I feel like a huge issue with amateur photographers is that they don’t want to put the time in to develop their visual literacy. Studying classical painting, other photographers’ work, even cinematography, poetry, literature, is what helps develop the sense of what does and doesn’t work in an image.

Photography is mostly about pictures though. Do cooks talk mostly about ovens? Yes, the tool is important, but no oven is going to bake a pretty cake on its own. There’s often this obsession with technology that brings little to the art of photography itself.

What kind of discussions are you looking for? Technology, gear, aesthetics, photographers to study, books?

KeePass for me. I manage my own database, don’t rely on clouds and etc.

Yep, I’m still using a pixel 3a. Was running amazingly well up until a boot loop forced me to upgrade to android 12. It’s still okay, but you can feel it’s not as responsive. I don’t see a reason to upgrade while it is running so smoothly. I could be happier with a better camera, but I have a real camera, which I carry almost anywhere, so that’s okay.

Sadly, my Pixel 3A is not supported. The cutoff point is the next gen of the phones.

Yeah, grid walking would be frustrating to attempt here, haha.

Cities in the US look so tidy with the way streets are laid down. Here’s where I stopped mapping out my routes:

Thanks for the information and the discussion! I’ll definitely check the website out. I used to just manually map Google’s My Maps, but it got tedious.

Yeah, I totally understand! It just really resonates with the idea of street photography, which is a lot of walking, a lot of looking, and a lot of appreciation of the little things, the little moments or visual accents that happen in daily life. You’re welcome to join in !streetphotography@lemmy.world to check out what I’m talking about.

What software do you use to track your walks and map them out so thoroughly?
