Love digiKam! It and darktable make up my daily drivers for my photography!

Centralised identity is something that Nostr does right. But it’s got a nazi bar problem

The admin team burned out

It just redirects to https://join-lemmy.org/ for me

I look forward to inertial scrolling!

So, a few years back, when my kid was 13 or so, I used to send them memes over discord. This was 6 or 7 years ago now. And I thought, I’m a cool mum, 'cause I use discord to talk to my kid, and I send them memes.

And one day, I asked my kid if I’m one of the cool parents, 'cause I send them memes, and they said “You send me old memes”. Their friends thought I was cool but my kid? Nah, not so much…

In all seriousness though, my kid is 20 now, and I have a great relationship with them. Don’t read too much in to it. I don’t think there’s any winning with young teens and pre teens. You’ll never be cool in their eyes, and I think we just have to find our peace with that :)

Well, that was the first PewDiePie video I’ve ever watched…

Strange that he didn’t mention leaving YouTube behind though!

In the day, nothing matters!

I use PieFed rather than lemmy as my default these days, but the answer is the same for both. I love that they’re community driven, community hosted federated spaces that let people find the experience they want, and that they’re strongly resistant to corporate takeover and centralisation.

What I don’t like so much is the increase in debate bro type folk that are slowly drifting over from reddit. Of course, they’re at least partly dealt with by the things I mentioned earlier, but still, I wish we could undo some of the in your face debating attitudes that people have been trained to default to by toxic social media

I don’t like there is no way to get notification (subscribe to) a post to see new replies that come in after I’ve read the post for the first time…

I’ve moved to PieFed now as my default instance instead of lemmy, and this is one of the main reasons why! And you can do it at the community level as well, to be notified when a new post is made to a given community

There are better ways of convincing non involved participants than debate, especially it’s an argument around human rights, bigotry, transphobia, racism etc. Getting in to a debate normalises the idea that “both sides” of these arguments have similar validity and value.

Honestly, I like it. I run google and all of its platforms in their own tab containers, without signing in and that’s what my Youtube looks like. It’s great, I can search for the thing I need, and otherwise interact with google ad spam as little as possible

Thanks to the longer focal lengths and brighter light making narrow apertures more viable, it’s not something I’ve needed for my birds.

But I’ve definitely felt the pain of the reduced DoF the few times I’ve tried macro

Millions of people have reviewed you!

I really should. My cameras all stack in camera, but it’s not something I’ve really tried to play around with much. There’s not much use for it taking photos of birds :p

Honestly, I think they’re worse than people say. There might be the odd good news story to come out of them, but they are designed to get you to fork out cash, and stay around and keep forking out cash, so their whole goal is to feed you hope, without ever causing you to be successful enough to leave.

As you wish!!!

The Twelve Apostles are much more impressive than Pancake Rocks IMO

That was my immediate question too!
