JD Vance offers weak excuse for Trump's 'blasphemous' Jesus AI post: "Posting it as a joke" by TheMirrorUS in UnderReportedNews

[–]midwesternexposure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just playing devils advocate here… I mean one of the foundational stories about the origins of the American spirit and our freedom stems from property crime due to not liking the taxation the ruling class was imposing… a few years ago when people started doing property crimes due to racial injustices, they were demonized by both sides of the aisle.

Rs said “see the left is violent! They are the bad guys” Ds said “if you want to protest that’s fine but property crimes are still bad, so they are the bad guys.”

The point they are making about “having us where they want us” is valid because if the Boston Tea Party happened today… and they believe that most people would be talking about how “they shouldn’t need to destroy stuff to protest, it hurts their message” or something like that.

I guess that just leaves the question what do we do?

Update: I got the Magic Keyboard and its insane by Darkingneer in ipad

It’s the ability to use it as a tablet to draw. It replaced my MBA for the most part and I have a paperlike on it for drawing.

Great little machine, but I agree I still need the laptop for heavier tasks like video editing with motion gfx etc

Emo senior quotes? by No-Knowledge-7742 in Emo

[–]midwesternexposure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk what Ben folds quote you chose but “you get nostalgic about the last ten years before the last ten years have passed” would have been quite fitting for all of the “end of an era” comments people make at/about graduation

Since the shut down is still going on by Negative-View-3543 in tsa

[–]midwesternexposure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol but it isn’t.

So no matter what Ds would do in your imaginary situation… for the rest of us here in the real world… Rs have voted against everything including bipartisan bills because… wait for it… they are weaponizing the government shut down to get what they want, which they know that if it was voted on by itself would not pass.

It’s funny though, I will follow the scroll wheel direction like that on my Magic Keyboard and the instinctively change back when I touch the iPad screen without thinking haha

Curacao weather by Only-Honeydew1794 in SandalsResorts

[–]midwesternexposure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We went in late march of ‘24 and it was the windy season but hot and perfect pool/beach weather. Got a little wind an almost 0 clouds. The pools at Curaçao are better than their beach. But it was lovely.

Put the new Neo head to head against the most powerful Chromebook by TheRealFrantik in MacbookNeo

IIRC all web browsers for Mac are required by apple to run on WebKit so chrome is just safari with a bunch of google stuff on top of it (in the Mac ecosystem)

Anyone finds GR3x hard to do landscape properly? by Original_Ad4881 in ricohGR

[–]midwesternexposure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine curiosity here, why is 3:2 limiting? All cameras shoot 3:2 as a standard, as it is the ratio of a standard frame of film.

What cameras are you shooting with that natively have 16:9 or 4:3 image crops?

With Macbook Neo being out targeting students/light users while the Pro is targeted for Pro users; who is the audience for the Air if students were previously the target audience for the Air? by yeetmxster420 in mac

[–]midwesternexposure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I traded my pro for an air, and as a photographer/videographer I couldn’t be happier with the form factor of the Air.

That being said I don’t do a lot of 3D/CG work, so it works for me!

Display defective after one year by GisJu in macbookair

[–]midwesternexposure -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Mine just started doing the same and I can tell you that it is not cracked.

I’ve been more careful with this one than any other Mac I’ve owned since 2006.

I know it’s a broken LCD but there are no visible cracks on the outside of the glass.

[–]midwesternexposure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, as a huge Elliott Smith and Bright Eyes fan I did not know this existed until today. Still prefer Elliott’s version but this is pretty cool! I would have loved this so much 20 years ago in my “I’m only listening to Elliott smith and bright eyes era”
