  • They're mad because GNU's Not Unix and such.

  • Not sure, but maybe "1080p" describes the approximate level of video quality ("full HD") while 1200 is the actual vertical resolution ("full HD but taller") due to the video having a non-16:9 aspect ratio?

  • Some games actually have this feature.

  • False, we know who the firestarter (twisted firestarter) is.

  • Different people are different.

  • Is there a medical lab nearby? People might go there to do the thing with their cup and mistake that for the dropbox. (Otherwise "leave" is odd phrasing...)

    Also, OP, this is lemmy_shit_post.

  • "I still can't believe you wished for a big, orange head!"

  • Have you checked the signup page for your Lemmy instance lately? It amounts to "write us a short essay personal statement of what you intend to do here and we'll manually approve your account sometime, hopefully soon." I know this is somewhat standardized among instances, and it's there for a noble reason, but it's without a doubt friction for everybody who goes to sign up, and a barrier to entry for a good chunk of people, who might not yet even fully know why they'd want to join aside from "my friend says this is cool."

  • Having your stuff accessible and synced, including read/unread status, across devices is a real benefit.

  • To OP and the few other comments sarcastically dunking on the blogger for just discovering RSS: why? It's not exactly drowning in advocates today, and there's basically a whole generation that wasn't around when Google killed off Reader. What if we treated advocacy like this like the good thing it is?

  • They call him Mr. Boombastic.

  • All is forgiven, but next time go with "Kenny G."

  • You just gonna compliment the guy like that?

  • First of all, are you sure you're buying the camera body by itself? It's possible that you are, but it sounds like that camera is most commonly sold together with the Canon RF‑s 18‑45mm IS STM, a good lens with an okay range that lets you zoom from "sort of wide" to "sort of long." It's a good starter lens, but Ken Rockwell (a trusted camera reviewer) points out a few other common lens options for this camera if you're looking for more zoom range.

    Buying a camera+lens combo (often called a "kit" in the photo world) will usually save you a little bit, versus buying the two separately.

  • It would be pretty irresponsible for me to make a suggestion. I chose my camera system well over a decade ago and while it's served me well, the market is way different today and I haven't kept up with current choices. (There's a very real chance I wouldn't make the same choice if I was starting out in 2025.) I've seen posts in !photography@lemmy.ml or !photography@lemmy.world with questions like yours answered by helpful people who are actually up on current stuff, so I'd definitely see what they have to say.

    edit: To expand on this somewhat, if you choose well you'll likely get a number of years out of your camera "body" (the actual camera itself, not counting the lens) before you feel like you need to upgrade to a new one. At that point you'll keep all your lenses and choose a new body from the same system, which means it's still compatible with your collection of lenses. (And while it seems counterintuitive, some lenses can actually cost more than the camera body.) That's why, although these are things you don't need to know today, per se, choosing a system that suits your needs and budget matters, and why you want advice from people with broader experience.
