  • This appeared on my feed as I was listening to ABBA - Dancing Queen, and I'm pretty sure that's what the owl was dancing to in your photo, because it lines up perfectly!

    Technically, I was listening to Reina Danzante (the spanish version of Dancing Queen)

  • What is going on with your moral compass that you believe that sometimes, funding bigots doesn't make you a shitty person, yet also lets you believe that disagreeing with you on that issue topic is enough to qualify someone as a shitty person?

    If you can make an exception for people funding Rowling, you can make space for them disagreeing with you, without pretending that they're the problem

  • ISO 160 = high contrast mode... ???

    跳过

  • Apologies if this question comes off as insulting, but just to confirm, if you're shooting manual, when you adjust the ISO to keep the exposure value the same right? The photo you've got there looks slightly underexposed to me

    That being said, assuming you are keeping the exposure value equal, then conventional wisdom says that you get slightly less contrast (including colour contrast) with a wide open aperture. So if you set the ISO faster, and don't change your shutter speed, your aperture will be smaller, and you should be getting more colour contrast.

    On top of that, each lens has its own "sweet spot" where it gives you the best image quality (sharpness, contrast, saturation etc) generally but not always somewhere around f/8.

    So if you haven't already, true adjusting your ISO to 160, and getting your aperture as close to f/8 as you can, and adjust the shutter speed to achieve that.

    how do i explain “it’s raining” to my boyfriend?

    跳过

  • It sounds like a similar situation I had learning Spanish. In english, I'd say "It's hot". In Spanish, that's "Hace calor", which translated literally means "makes heat". And it was strange to me because I wanted to know what was meant to be making this heat

  • You create the community on another instance. You update the lemm.ee version with a sticky post and sidebar edit to let people know the new location. Do that before lemm.ee closes down, and even people that find the lemm.ee version of the group after the instance is gone will still be able to find your new location

  • Do you need to be an activist? Absolutely not. You have a chance to live on your own terms in a world that made that really hard. You don't owe it anything.

    That being said... Visibility makes a huge difference, and it's super important that some vulnerable folk are visible and loud. But remember, they're the ones putting themselves on the line, so that in the future, it won't be as bad for those that follow, and that needs to be respected.

    For me, being trans was always just a medical issue

    This isn't helpful. Whether you see it that way or not, being trans is not "just a medical issue". The fact that you were able to live your life as if it were, gives you a position of relative privilege that most trans people don't share. The truth is, if you get publicly outed one day, it won't just be a medical issue for you either. So whilst you don't have to be an activist, you shouldn't be downplaying the reality that other trans folk do have to face, and honestly, you shouldn't be pretending to yourself that you are immune to them either.

    Live your life on your own terms, and do so without guilt. But even if it's just in the privacy of your own thoughts, make sure you build your visible peers up rather than mentally separating yourself from them

  • TubeFree is a new Peertube by BT Free

  • Most people don't start making videos to make money. In the early Tube days there was no money.

    Absolutely. I'm one of them. But there's a lot of peertube instances that serve that need.

    The OP was talking about creating a moderated instance, with high production quality requirements for members, with the possibility of charging for extra upload capacity etc. And that narrows the field down to people who either make their living from producing video content, or want to make their living from producing video content. That's the group I was talking about

    PeerTube only has 1 less avenue for monetization than YT, among dozens.

    Absolutely, but the one its missing is a major source of income for most professionals and semi professionals who make their living from video content. And folk who rely on YouTube advertising aren't just going to be able to drop YouTube for Peertube whilst keeping a consistent income stream. Which means the OP (and the OP specifically, not peertube in general) will need to make space for allowing those users to exist in a way that encourages them to move to Peertube, without cutting off the income they currently make from centralised corporate platforms.

    My partner and I run a peertube instance out of our own pockets, and we make videos and host other folk making videos, without caring about their quality or experience. For us, it's about giving folk voices. But I wasn't talking about peertube in general, or folk like myself, I was addressing the OPs situation

  • Linux reaches new peak of 2.69% in Steam Hardware & Software Survey: May 2025

  • I started using linux full time about a year ago. I started with Arch, but moved to Cachy really quickly when I discovered it. All of the advantages of Arch, but repos optimised for modern hardware, and a whole heap of useful pre-configured tools, like Wine/Proton, fish, snapper etc. Arch is a bare bones, pick and configure your own setup rolling release distro. Cachy is a pre-optimised, rolling release distro with lots of useful stuff right out of the box.

  • At the moment, its challenging for creators to generate income from Peertube. In theory, the avenue they have is through patreons and the like, but in practice, peertube doesn't yet have the volume of users to make that work. And as a result, it's going to be hard to use any kind of "premium/paid" tier service, simply because there won't be many takers.

    In my mind, right now, if you're trying to attract creators, you're going to need to reduce as many barriers as you can for them to move over. That may mean co-existing accounts on bigtech platforms and on peertube, and in terms of helping with your running costs, voluntary donations are the best way of doing it for now, until peertube gets a larger volume of users.

    Either way, we spun up our own peertube instance a few weeks ago too, so welcome to the vidiverse :)

  • J.K. Rowling uses Harry Potter wealth to fund anti-transgender organization

    跳过

  • She makes money from the popularity of her IP, whether or not she makes money from any individual title. The success of that game makes her money, because it tells studios that it is profitable to make Potter content, and that will make her money.

    So no, do not purchase her stuff, because she will explicitly use her profits from her IP to actively target and hurt trans folk.

    This isn't hypothetical. It's not multiple steps removed. It's not "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism". This is someone who is explicitly using her money to hurt vulnerable people, so you do not give her more money or encourage others to.

    Ever.
