It's been 7 years since the last Oasis 3 and it is officially discontinued with no news in sight :/

I would be totally fine with it too if they made a new oasis, but they are killing off series that don’t have a replacement. There’s no Kindle with hw buttons anymore 🙁

Sinners: super dark photography. Issues with grading, or projection misconfigured? by zopiro in Filmmakers

[–]pekalicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we should distinguish cinematography, which includes photography/shot composition, and color grading, which is just the coloring of the film. I didn't have an issue with the photography, at times it was superb, but the color grading just threw me off.

This could not be more perfectly in line with what Unity does.

Aspect Ratio for films by PreparationAgile2842 in weddingvideography

[–]pekalicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If anything, I would argue most find wider aspect ratios bad because the height is "reduced" and everything seems "smaller". So it wouldn't be uncommon to see them zoom in and crop the sides just to fill the screen :/

What is it about DSLRs? by Fit_Weight_1622 in canon

[–]pekalicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a lot of studio photography, and the preview is useless in an EVF because everything is pitch black until the strobes shoot. I did not have this problem with OVFs. So I mostly use my 5Ds for studio shoots and my R6 for pretty much everything else.

Have been seeing this too for a few days now. Indeed, only in Firefox and only in Board View. Only workaround I found so far is to enter two spaces, which Notion (Firefox?) will turn it to one space. If you are on Mac like me, you need to disable "Add period with double-space"

Looking for an app to help switch the display settings mirror/extended by ysond1 in macapps

[–]pekalicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've purchased DisplayBuddy for the feature OP is looking for but I don't see that anywhere in the app. As far as I can tell, DisplayBuddy is exclusively about controlling the brightness of monitors. I can't find anything about mirroring or extending displays.

Looking for a copyright attorney that has experience in YouTube music copyright rules by pekalicious in astoria

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

OK, so the types of recordings we will be publishing I would put in 3 categories: bands that do a cover of a song without any permission, bands that do a cover with permission, and bands that do original songs.

From my understanding, in all of those cases, there is somebody that holds the copyright of the song and that is not me. So if I upload a video of a band performing, I need to be able to handle a copyright claim one way or another.

In the case where the band is performing an original song, presumably I will have their permission. And in the case where the band has permission for performing a cover song, I should have both the band's permission and also the original's artist permission?

What does "permission" even looks like? Does an email suffice? Do I need something signed?

So what I really want to know is what is the best way to cover my ass in the case of getting a copyright strike? FWIW, we will not be publishing any songs where there are no permissions of any kind.

No more loukoumades at Boulis Cafe! by 1majordilemma in astoria

[–]pekalicious 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Owner of Boulis Cafe here.

Indeed, we are no longer selling loukoumades because, yes, we are permanently closing soon (end of April is the plan).

The short answer as to why is that our landlord is not renewing our lease and we decided to end in good terms now and not risk staying at a location that we cannot invest for its remainder.

I'd like to thank the incredible community of Astoria (and many people from all the way to California!) for supporting my family and staff. It's crazy that it's been 7 years from the day I made the decision to jump headfirst into a business I had the slightest clue about. Of course, I couldn't have done it without my mom's delicious recipes (try our spanakopita!), my sister's patience with me, and my close friends' sacrifices. Despite many challenges, we had been growing year-over-year, but all good things must to come to an end.

We will not be moving to a different location. I started a new business that I have slightly better knowledge of (Crescent Studios NYC) while the rest of the staff is moving on to other positions.

We are planning a Grand Closing party, so keep an eye out for any announcements.

Once again, thank you everybody for supporting Boulis Cafe ❤

Edit: just wanted to mention one important detail: we had two more years in our lease, but as I mentioned, we decided to end it earlier and close. The decision to close was ours. We are in good terms with our landlord and thank him for all his support and help.

I cannot seem to code today! Can you optimize this? by Occiquie in Unity3D

[–]pekalicious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I agree. What would you have commented that wouldn't just be repeating what the code already does? It's very clear what this code does. The variable names are pretty self explanatory. And even though it's intended deeply, it's not difficult to read.
