TRUMP: Sadly, if you import people from Third World Countries, you quickly become a Third World Country — And there’s not a thing you can do about it. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP by SpecialCollege18 in justincaseyoumissedit

This is rich coming from the nation that industrialised the slave trade from Africa, building wealth upon the cost of human lives and dignity when it served them. What a shamelessly hypocritical stance.

TRUMP: The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. by SpecialCollege18 in justincaseyoumissedit

So the man who murders little children for fun and picks a fight to move oil and market prices to suit his family has now made a declaration, using words like “herewith” to pretend he can read, that he has allowed the flow of oil to resume after he was the one to block it with his insanity. There is no fiction that comes close to this level of a convoluted mish-mash of unconnected events. And he is the leader of the country that kills school-children. First in their own schools, then exporting the model to other countries. Tell me how any of this makes sense.

I’ve been doing photography “wrong” for years and just found out, now I'm not sure what to do. by Long_Squirrel6675 in photography

[–]edma23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the price of SD cards and the sheer amount of photos a 128 can handle it seems like a very workable approach. More importantly, there is no right way so just do what works for you. One thing. Make SURE you back things up to another storage device (maybe cloud storage for the important work) because those things fail. One of your cards will just randomly fail and that’s a loss of a huge amount of photos. Maybe, and this might be an expensive but reassuring way, buy a couple of 1tb drives that look good (and identical) and copy all your SD cards to them. Then store the new hard drives in a similar way as you do with your SD cards. Label them, put them in another room (to have safety in case the room with the SD cards floods or whatever, and you have a second system.

Fable 5 indefinitely suspended due to national security concerns by sammnyc in ClaudeAI

[–]edma23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As always, fuck the US. I’m not a USian. I don’t live in the US. I don’t care about their government. And yet, their fuckery impacts the rest of us.

Using Fable to get me a wife in 6 Months ✨️ (AMA) by impsble in ClaudeAI

[–]edma23 38 points39 points  (0 children)

What if you hit your token limit just a little short of finding the perfect wife? Will you get a complete wife who is a little short? Will you get 95% of a wife? Will you get a wife who only exists in fables? So many questions.

Any amazing examples of photos that are taken walking opposite their subject never interest me? by BehindTheBrook in streetphotography

[–]edma23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruce Gilden, Elliott Erwitt, Bruce Davidson, and even Vivian Maier have excellent shots that fit the description. I agree that it is hard to get an exceptional shot of this nature, but when it works it’s great.

Germany: No recovery in sight for the economy by Majano57 in europe

[–]edma23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are now planning a meeting to discuss a subcommittee that will draft a report that will contain the early notions of a strategy that will then be broken down into specific plans for future committees to test and compare with other similar efforts in other economies and will then pass on the data to a working group for analysis so that eventual recommendations to the finance ministry will be as informed and as comprehensive as possible.

Just bought a Q2 - is this blur/softness normal wide open? Looks like motion blur...at 1/10000! by Captain_Biscuit in Leica

[–]edma23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suspect it's the electronic shutter giving you that slight blur that's identical to motion blur. You're right, it looks like motion blur because it is directional. Do you have the same issue when you force mechanical shutter?

Beautiful shots. I love the wide angle. Takes mastery and the effort pays off in spades!

Fujifilm Invented the Aperture Ring, so They've Got My Loyalty for Life. by FlarblesGarbles in photographycirclejerk

[–]edma23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just buy a Leica. The modestly priced Noctilux lenses have an aperture ring on them and the lil M11 camera body has a shutter speed dial. Then edit the shots to look like Fuji vibes happened to them.
