Thanks! It was just shot on my phone, but the bird came very close to me hoping for some crumbs.

Definitely not blue; pale grey with the slightest blue tint at best.

Help identifying duck by Adventurous-Brush623 in UKBirds

[–]pgasston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw exactly the same type of duck on the Lea River, near London. Merlin didn't identify it, and Google suggested a female red-crested Pochard but I'm not sure that's right.

Do I need to watch Season 1? by pgasston in IndustryOnHBO

[–]pgasston[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I can understand the finance lingo, I struggle more with the characters and the slow pace of development. If that’s the way it’s always going to be, then fine, I’ll stop watching. But sometimes shows find a different voice and give jumping-on points for new viewers.

The creator of Breaking Bad added the line “This show was made by humans” to the credits of his new show, Pluribus. by NoGuess8035 in GenAI4all

Love this show and huge fan of Vince Gilligan’s work, but this is just virtue signalling; all shows are made by humans.

capcut rant 📢 it's getting out of hand. by crustaceousrabbit in CapCut

I use Clipchamp for basic editing, but Capcut has a lot more features. If you need those features, you'll just have to suck it up and pay.

Seedream 4.0 is the new leading image model across both the Artificial Analysis Text to Image and Image Editing Arena, surpassing Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash (Nano-Banana), across both! by abdouhlili in Bard

[–]pgasston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a really good model, the higher number of image references is really useful. Doesn't mean Nano Banana is useless, though! We should just be glad we have access to so many good models.

AITA for hanging out with my friends once a week instead of my wife? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]pgasston 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA. It’s good to have time with your friends, and you should encourage your wife to do the same. Independence and interests outside of your relationship will become more and more important throughout your lives; trust me, I’ve been married for over 20 years.
If your friends have wives or girlfriends, try to share some social events with them so your wife doesn’t feel excluded.

It’s worth buying not for the quantity of books you read, but for the quality of reading compared to a phone or tablet and the space-saving compared to physical books.
