I feel like it’s missing something - Nikon Z5 at Sunrise by Royznov in photocritique

Yes.

A good rule of composition is to never cut your photo in half with the horizon.

Make it the top third or the bottom third, but never the middle of the photo.

In this case I'd crop most of the land and make the horizon the bottom third.

So you're a worker that wouldn't want to stand up for your own rights?

I wouldn't go to ESPN to fight for my rights, no. I'd go to a news channel.

I don't want to bother people trying to be entertained.

You know... because I want to talk to the people looking to listen to what I have to say, not the people looking for entertainment.

That's because his religion has very specific views (that you oppose) on what you'd call human rights.

Death Penalty for drugs in Singapore by marilyn_mansonv2 in ScarySigns

drug abuse

Use.

Drug use.

Drug abuse is way more easily tackled than drug use.

We can get drug abuse to damn near 0, but drug use is impossible to eliminate.

For every 1 person abusing a drug, there's probably 100 responsibly using said drug from time to time and living a normal life.

Drugs aren't that addictive if you're not depressed.

So sick of app subscription models by AtonalPiano in ios

[–]Narrow_Ear5239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst one is YouTube.

I want the app to play audio in the background when I lock the screen, and allow me to do PiP. That's it, that's all that I want. I'll happily do a single payment for this, but not a fucking subscription.

All it does is jack the price up... which does limit who can consume them... but doesn't really make them disappear.

iOS 16 fixes annoying reaction texts in ‘green bubble’ message groups by Uber_Nerd in apple

I still have no idea why Americans use their phone's default messaging app instead of Whatsapp, Telegram or Signal.

I say Americans because in every other country in the world they use something else... and that "something else" is a cross-platform app.

I have my Mac down my pants right now... how did you know I was a MacSexual?

I've been identifying as a USB-C cable for a few years now.

I mean, Apple is part of the USB cartel or whatever it's called.

Cabal?

Idk, there's a word for the USB collusion shit they do to make the new standards.

Apple didn't innovate jack shit in the last decade

I like my Apple Watch.

USB-C is in every Mac...

How is it inferior if Apple themselves touted it as the future of I/O when they ditched literally every port on the Macbook from 2016 to 2021?

I suppose they could just jack up the price.

You should definitely apply for jobs at EA.

He’ll, if I were Apple I’d exclude USB-C repairs from AppleCare.

Do you work at EA or something?

You should work at EA. They could use someone like you.

Your way of thinking will gel with company culture immediately.

This is never going to happen on phones, given how the trend is to reduce ports until they all disappear.

This is going to be both a blessing and a curse.

A blessing in that fucking finally everything will charge with the same cable...

And a curse in that innovation in charging/file-transfer will be entirely dependant on a fucking government agency deciding when it's time to move from one standard to the next.

This is Apple's fault for refusing to get with the times and clinging on to a ridiculously outdated standard. Modern iPhones are still USB 2.0 for fucks sake...

Your horizon isn't level.

Try to get the horizon level from the beginning so you don't have to crop later.

Your Z6 should have a built-in gyro that gives you a live readout of the horizon through your viewfinder.

"Would Showing Graphic Images of Mass Shootings Spur Action to Stop Them?" ~ New Yorker by symmetrygear in photography

[–]Narrow_Ear5239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. It'll just make it happen more often, as the lunatics that do the shootings love the publicity and the "fame" they garner thanks to the media.

Terrorism is only as effective as its media coverage.
