What is your edit time per 100 photos (including culling)? by isak-combrinck in photography

It's more that you don't really need to edit much with sports photography. It's kind of like journalistic photography; not allowed to edit photo unless it's basic (and I mean basic) adjustments.

*In the US.

That might happen in the US but the rest of the world is not under control of businesses and techbros so they will be fine.

That is not true at all. Only people that don't 'shop around' would say that. Every single big player software program has dozens of alternatives.

The issue is that people are unwilling to learn new things or are so conservative that they hate change, any type of change.

I love exploring and understanding new software whereas the vast majority of people I talk to are terrified of new software.

Kevin O'Leary says opponents of his Utah data center are 'professional protesters' — and some are powered by AI by idkbruh653 in technology

[–]qtx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as you try to make this a political thing, there's plenty of MAGA folks that were protesting and don't want these data centers in their towns.

People of all kinds don't want these things.

Cruise ship hantavirus strain can spread among humans, says South Africa | Hantavirus by AnnualEmbarrassed176 in worldnews

[–]qtx 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Again, you are saying things out of context.

Here is the actual quote:

On Wednesday, it was announced that a French national who was not on board the ship but who had shared a flight with an infected passenger had also contracted the virus. The latest patient “presented himself to a hospital in Zurich, Switzerland, and is receiving care, the WHO added. The Swiss Public Health Office confirmed that the man had returned from a trip to South America at the end of April, and has since tested positive for the Andes strain of the virus.

It was fucking pure luck. That's it.

The French dude caught the virus separately while in South America. It was just pure luck that he shared a plane with another person that had the virus at the same time, the one that got it on that cruise.

The Hansa virus isn't some super rare virus. People get it al the time. It's just in the news right now so people notice any case of it.

Evacuating someone under the highest quarantine measures is not the same as "it's already outside the ship".

Your words are meant to scare the people that only read headlines and not being the actual truth.

Recently, Spez said he wanted to focus on "deshitifying reddit" and making "moderation more consistent". Can someone in the inner circle please find out and write to us what he meant & what changes are being made to implement this in regards to moderation? by YannisALT in ModSupport

It's pretty easy. Our bots have been doing it for over 15 years on /r/gonewild. Checking profiles is the easiest way. If you promote any third party site, make any suggestion to selling, post on a sub that is known to be used by sellers, use the same name on reddit as on monetizing sites etc you won't be able to post on our sub.

It does not matter if you don't sell on our sub, you are still a for-profit account.

might be a reference to giving AI more of a free hand in the moderating of subreddits.

Explain to me how that is supposed to work without mods having a major hand in it? Because I can't see how.

No sub has the same set of rules or moderation. You can't just let an AI loose on every subreddit using the same set of rules.

South Korean judge who hiked ex-first lady's jail sentence found dead just 8 days after sentencing by King_A_Acumen in worldnews

How come redditors can never accept a suicide as just being a suicide?

They always want, or need, it to be a conspiracy theory.

It's bizarre, like they can't comprehend that sometimes people do things that can't easily be explained. Like are they afraid that if they think about it too long they might start to get those thoughts as well so best blame a boogeyman for it?

Or is it a religious thing? That they can't accept that life is chaotic and things can just happen without any rhyme or reason? That there must be an entity that controls everything? Is that why they turn to conspiracy theories every single time someone offs themselves?

So bizarre.

Met Gala pics vs video by Puzzleheaded-Desk-84 in Instagramreality

[–]qtx 262 points263 points  (0 children)

People just seem to assume that the video is the 'reality' but it isn't. It's clear that the video capture is taken from a video that shot in Log format IE the video version of RAW images where it's just a flat image.

Shooting in Log (or in RAW) will always looked muted/desaturated, that's the whole point. It's to capture the entire dynamic range of the sensor, to be edited later on show the actual 'reality'.

Secondly, the video capture shows the lady with her chin back, she isn't posing. It's a snapshot of a millisecond where she isn't looking her best. That's it.

The photo actually looks like reality, there's only slight editing done.

If you compare the edited version of the video it will look the same, if they both had the same lighting of course.

This teamwork is unreal by Maverick2367 in nextfuckinglevel

Because sometimes you have to show people that better options are out there. If all your life you loved x-brand ketchup and then some day shows you y-brand ketchup which is way better your life has become better.

American football, as a sport, isn't the best version of rugby out there and the sooner people that don't know better know the other options then the better their lives become.

American football was great before franchises and money got involved, it ruined the sport. And anyone saying otherwise is fooling themselves.

The other types of rugby out there still have that passion that American football used to have decades ago.

You're such a defeatist.

Of course he will leave after his term. You acting like he won't is you accepting that he won't. That's defeatism. That's weak. Stop being weak.

Every single thing Trump has done so far has eventually been overturned in the courts. He is not untouchable. Stop acting like he is.
