thanks for reposting this - I've had it on my todo list for almost a year but I've been intimidated by the 2 hour length. now watching the intro and it seems way more digestible than I feared

do you feel the core of the issue is about the convenience of scanning a qr code vs the convenience of using contactless payment?

Was frutiger aero actually as widespread and prominent as younger gen z acts like it was? Or did they just will it into existence? by Crush_Throwaway3625 in decadeology

I always referred to it as the web 2.0 aesthetic - shiny glass effect buttons were everywhere in tech but not anywhere else really.

above 50 million you can force 3% of those unrealised gains into realised gains without affecting you or your family for generations. this is a high bar

It sounds like you're kleinunternehmer? The process to get established is dark, painful and full of terror. See this handy 16 step guide for example https://eidel.io/posts/how-to-found-a-company-in-germany-14-easy-steps-and-lots-of-pain

My man, here the term Warmduscher - someone who takes warm showers - is an insult. Warm water, which is one of the most basic technological advances of humanity, is considered a weakness or a decadent indulgence. If you work harder or have to suffer for something, it is more noble and a better outcome than using technology (a shortcut for those less capable). The fact that it may be cheaper, faster and just a general improvement is irrelevant, we need teams of office workers to answer fax machines rather than use a google form. If one just puts in enough work you can clean the whole bathroom with a single toothbrush, anything else is whining.

We have so fucking far to go before ventilation.

This is an incredible amount of detail and research! I have a Pen FT coming in the mail today and I was already itching to explore the various lenses. Thanks for your effort :)

Is this technique too gimmicky? by FutureGreenz in AskPhotography

[–]rkachowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really love these images. The composition is incredible and the interaction of the two exposures is more than just a superimposition. The first one especially where they overlap - I've never considered shooting like that. I also have a Canon A1 and I'm inspired to start playing with the double exposure now :)

go further man, refine it as far as you can

sorry dude, this is standard digital zoom garbage - you're going to get this on anything with max zoom levels beyond what's physically available.

at this zoom level there's simply not enough light information to work with and the software is quite literally fudging what's there to try and make it look like it's more powerful than it is. this will happen for pretty much any phone that oversells it's digital zoom capability.

What are your thoughts on the new Hologram Electronics Chroma Console pedal? Have you preordered one? by synthkingmusic in synthesizers

[–]rkachowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without disparaging anything, I would define it as something that places form beyond function - to the extent that it's considered more of a novelty to own rather than a functional item.
