Log does not work great in heavy computational video right now. It was the case with RAW on phones till manufacturers find ways to bake computated (i.e. stacked, stablised, etc.) data into RAW, like xiaomi, huawei, pixel, and apple.

That's a weakest point of phones as by exposing to log curve, you exactly showcase the poor latitude of phone sensor. With the price and additional rigging required (and cooling), just save and get a bmpcc.

The argument of getting out a phone and handheld for night photography (first saw in Huawei P30) or slow-motion and get really great image is valid.

The argument of randomly getting out a phone with cases, cooling, external SSD, mounted battery, matte boxes (especially for strong glaring on iPhone), and a camera stabliser (because a phone stabliser is not tailored for this weight), will be over 1.5kg. That does not sound like valid.

Log is quite useless other than controlled or professional shooting as exposure matters a lot more, and lack of IRE exposure (false color i.e.) makes it not feasible.

There is also PineNotes (which is in very early dev stage, but Pine64 makes dev board anyway, already available for ordering) in the market, but from the demo Modos definitely have a lot better display.

Maybe it's finally a time for x86 e-ink laptop to strive. Can't wait to take note on that.

How communism supposed to work: if we take away the wealth from rich people and spread it evenly, then everyone is equally rich.

How it worked in history: if we take away the wealth from rich people and spread it within the ruling classes, then every peasants are equally rich, or poor.

If we take the opportunity of education away from every students, then they are equally dumb, which means they are equally smart now!

this was banned recently (around 2020), also that sounds as legal as how stocks work in the first place during age of exploration and an intervention within seems maybe not strictly necessary.

As much as I respect the authors and their opinions, it feels terribly wrong to put that on Github. This is not a personal blog. There are no codes, no licenses, no whatever contribution or forks ever possible for the lack of meanings.

Why?

It does not take a body part to host a server or buy a VPS, or you can even use wordpress parts. If the only thing they are looking for is opinions (or, mainly similar opinions), they could go subreddits or forums like HN. Why Github?

The daily dose of privacyguides forum dissing LibreWolf for unjustified [reason](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/librewolf-browser-firefo...), while their recommanded "Brave" was delibrately a product to replace annoying ads with their own commercial ads and earn BAT crypto, built-in VPN, built-in Web3, wallet, whatever stuff...

Their opinion TLDR; no auto-updater (community auto-updater exists), no advantage to config Arkenfox.js by yourself (but why do I need to be a json geek to just use a browser?)

LW the best daily-driver browser for me, they still include the option to use FF Sync, which is supposed to be safe as E2EE. Mullvad Browser is better but hard to daily drive.

Similar to ublock origin advanced mode (which basically is uMatrix continued), be prepared to fix the site by yourself sometimes. But for safety, privacy, anonymity and security, hell yah.

Especially consider the need to update your software for NLE is highly selective. H.264 and H.265 were used over the years for LongGOP, while ProRes and DNxHD/DNxHR were all supported a long time ago. There are no reasons to update unless you need latest blackmagic RAW or ProRes RAW, which are well beyond normal consumer realm. AV1 may be a new thing, but that's it.

There are no continuous vital features updates like being able to read newer camera RAW files for ACR. I find a one-time payment much more suitable for FCP.

With LPX and anything remotely in music production area the subscription just seems dumb. Omnisphere, Komplete, FL Studio, Cubase, Pro Tools, Ableton Live were all in the realm for decades, and while subscription did became a thing (especially for very expensive samples like Hollywood, Spitfire, etc.) features in a DAW are sufficient for a long life cycle in production, and mandating a subscription for "keeping latest" just seems odd.

Quite not true. LOS does not need to hack kernal of all deprecated chips to update everything to much higher android ver. There are no reasons manufacturer can't do that. It's a choice made by manufacturer not Qualcomm.

The fact that you handled Google data in the first place and kindly begged them to detect and delete sensitive ones is slightly out or order. The thing is regulate apps in first place.

Scrum needs surprising effort from coworkers to understand the system as well unlike common kanban that has existed for eternity. Meanwhile at some stages the stuff just becomes mythical and people stop to implement but rather improvise.

As if people 50 years ago had a life expectancy of 120. While healthcare is primary reason for its increase it is not scientifically rational to pray what was there 50 years ago. HFCS contributed to diseases so far less than cane sugar, with a lower volume dose as it is sweeter by far. As with making food cheap, I doubt what diet will be if local farming is the only choice. Suddenly no oranges from Cali, beef from Chicago, nor fishes from sea. How is it possible to have seafood diet if someone lives in Utah then? Fish out of the dead salty swamp? The single catch-all phrase of "that was not a thing 50 years ago, and there are bad things happening last 50 years, gonna blame them all" I'd rather unhelpful.

It's not rocket science that some carrier and manufacturer lock the goat out of their phone like Samsung and Verizon, but I think this thread is dealing with a much more different problem and everyone who bought carrier does not belong.

If contain and consist and replace a new word and it is supposed to be an encyclopædia then maybe it is a legit move. It's like English professor ranting about use vs. utilise. Mixing words are bad attempts and precise wording is objectively better, tho I highly question if the machine effort replacing a ambiguous word is good enough to detect what it actually means in context.

A best explanation by EFF here(https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/03/government-hasnt-justi...) is that it is not only for TikTok. A transparant system of regulating and even auditing what telemetry services can acquire is fundamentally and universally beneficial for whatever country the service is based in.

But it is not surprising that those laws are never passed so far. Google in their software realm is too strong to be combated as compared to their hardware realm with right to repair. The big names in hardware are replacable as they all buy stock solution (like fingerprint sensor), and those sensor manufacturers don't care about right to repair. But Instagram or Snapchat or WhatsApp or Tiktok or whatever are not that replacable and thus more addictive and better for the company. Google or Meta is definitely not giving up on these places, and considering their influence, the future ain't bright.

That case you made about meat consumption is actually very relatable as found in a few reports went viral in China, including this one by ![guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/mar/16/eating-u...). Twenty years ago most rural living Chinese can't afford beef at all. Twenty years later they are able, and there are like 1 billion rural people become urban in 40 years I guess (plz check source), and developed countries are already mad about stuff they predicted to happen. Trust fund solution is one helpful tool for this, yet uprising tension in India/US allies and China/Russia/Middle East/Pakistan make the plan definitely dead. It will soon to be another case of WWII U.N. that is controlled by U.S. and vetoed by U.S.S.R. for a billion times a year and not producing anything remotely close to a deal, or a compromise. Also, solar array is tremendously expensive due to regional difference, just like battery, either rare metal or lithium.

If you are making something as a branding or contract, then you better keep it. People break promise every time and not like all of them are evil, malicious, or should go to jail. But a bank failed to pay back frequently will definitely found themselves doubting where the customers go.

It's not because they are evil persons. It's because when that promise and trust is broken, I need to severely rethink about other thing. If they ever comes out with NPO financial report or even a formal apology, I'm fine - I mean I'm mad a bit, but not angry. They tried something and it doesn't work, like every success story (or failure story that no one asks) things do go south. But if the solution of the company is secretly hiding it or even publicly denying it (not in this case but that kind of stuff did happen before), then they are not getting a penny from me.

As making cloud storage free for everyone without ads forever is not quite possible nor sustainable, unless you farms telemetry for money (GDrive, dropbox with insane telemetry found recently). It is purely understandable and predictable the business model will die some day, and it's definitely not to blame them for not being able to keep this forever. This is not QE4 and money is not printed in house. But apology and even a changelog is free and it definitely cost more to try to hide it then be honest with it. That's a misdemeanor to perjury for me.

Very controversial. U.S. as a divided land and government (now) can't pass anything in federal court so N.Y. is banning natural gas where oil companies in Alaska can dig well right next to preservation area and burn the excess gas on site (because app. it is cheap and they don't have infrastructure to transport or store), cooking massive fireballs 24 hours a day.

Is this step from N.Y. a leap too far? definitely. Is it in the right direction, as opposed to drill baby drill? Also definitely. However in actual climate impact, it is more sustainable to ban petrol car, but our battery tech does not allow everyone to buy EV. Either to public transportation or go junk traffic. Those petrol car (and SUV, "light truck") causes a lot more harm than natural gas which burns into water and carbon dioxide, from asthma to smog. Domestic use of natural gas is terribly effective to be ignored.

I don't know right now but I think they should mandate heat pump in every new houses so minimal energy can result in great heat in winter, instead of relying on AC and failed on grid. Also, N.Y. does not have tons of renewables?

Yep, using Librewolf with letterboxing to resist fingerprint, I have encountered basically all type of captcha at all sites.

I thought, for a long while, that school did teach this during Bio class (at least I learnt that in AP Bio). Being honest science research is already hard enough and all honours belong to a lot more others in the field.

[Privacy guides](https://www.privacyguides.org/en/) is also a great site for this. Prism-break updates fairly slow unlike privacy guides. However, PG leans heavily into usability and commercial software, recommanding questionable software including 1password. Also, PG prefers updating system (so mostly non-ubuntu based) but including opensuse and arch, which has questionable risk from rapid upstream update. Overall, both sites are great info. Also they promote Brave way too much, stick to Firefox/Librewolf/Mull. That's a bad rec.
