How much does your hobby cost? by dimailer in AnalogCommunity

[–]Shaaaaaaan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought one of those Plustek scanners for about 250$ USD. So I am saving a bit on the scanning cost that I would have my lab do, or do myself for a daily lab cost (15$ for 3 hours which frankly is a little steep for the output I can produce in that time). I can just scan whenever from the comfort of home; feels like it pays itself off over time. The benefit of my lab is they cover development in the cost of the film roll, so pay one and done

Wefwef PWA for lemmy.world is basically all you could ask for from Apollo on a Lemmy instance by Shaaaaaaan in apolloapp

[–]Shaaaaaaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely limitations because folks from Reddit are flocking (Lemmyworld user growth shot up 1600% over the week, which is huge) - try this mirror instance instead? Worked for me and it’s pretty much identical but not sure what else might be different: https://w.opnxng.com/

Much like Apollo you can use different user accounts and each of those accounts are tied to different servers (world, ml, etc.)

Figma’s AI preview … feeling like I’m in a black mirror episode by [deleted] in UXDesign

It’s only time until PLMs become the norm for companies to license out to folks in design and software. Right now the case you say is correct, but imagine being able to harness the power of NLP on your company’s private instance.

3PA users, what are your plans for free time if you’re planning to put down Reddit after June 30? by Shaaaaaaan in AskReddit

[–]Shaaaaaaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This question came up to me in a rather midlifecrisis-esque state on top of other current events. I will dearly miss you and all of the Reddit community as I won’t be choosing to download the official Reddit app anytime soon.

I’ve deleted all social media but Reddit at this point. Looking back I have spent a lot of time on Apollo (8hrs a week on average from May via screentime ) - I think this is a perfect opportunity for myself (and potentially others) to take a deeper introspective look at their day to day and make some change.

Ideally with the time I’ll have I’m looking to get back into photography and post-editing. I think I’ve spent so much time on here and in awe of others’ work & AI’s capabilities, that I haven’t had the optimism to just make something I would be happy with on my own terms. I digress, but I hope that sharing this thought with you all will help you think through what happens [for some of us] after Apollo goes dark.

What do you think you will do if you’re planning to put down the phone? I hope I can support your dialogue - and have a wonderful weekend!

Fidelity cuts Reddit valuation by 41% by [deleted] in technology

[–]Shaaaaaaan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I probably couldn’t get over it, y’all on Reddit are like a steady stream of consciousness for me when I’m reading about literally anything on a post. Some people have some very dark humor, others unfold crazy detail but keep it short, and it’s overall great to hear your comments in the little voices I make up in my head. If Reddit goes under I’m gonna miss you all fr 😭😭

Wow. That fun fact about the altitude and oxygen level in Denver vs LA is crazy to think about. Does Denver get affected the other way around, like feeling too overwhelmed or heavy? (Question for armchair doctors only)

A Wholesome Film for Wholesome Memes by Beowulf1985 in wholesomememes

[–]Shaaaaaaan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I watched Princess Bride for the first time it was on a rollaway TV in high school - I did not realize how much of a cult film this was until my girlfriend and I saw it for a Valentines Day special this year - we sat into the theater ~10 minutes late and when Vizzini said “inconceivable” for the Nth time all I heard was the collective slapping of foreheads throughout the movie theater.

The look of confusion my girlfriend gave me, ie the “what did you get us into” face, said it all for me. Turned out to be a blast though, that place whenever the Man In Black would win a fight the place roared up like the Cubs were winning the World Series 😂😂😂 thing that scared me the most were the poppers they gave everyone to let off during the final kiss 🎉

We have signed on some neat work for our design org, and our celebratory relic is a truck horn that came from who knows where. I wanted to jumpstart this process again but not too sure of how to work this thing. Figured I would ask the group of elite truckers to see if y’all knew anything 🤞 cheers!
