I mean, if anyone, Captain Lezbian is the person who needs to have one

I haven’t seen it used much in a non-gendered way, so I guess that’s why it has a clear masculine ring in my head

I don’t intend to blame them, I’m just making an observation.

The fact that they don’t know is a problem in itself too, and spreading awareness about cybersecurity and teaching general tech literacy and common sense is not done as much as it should be.

It’s exactly like you say. They don’t know, and how would they? No one is ever giving them the information they need.

Can Disney just ******* ***** ** ***** already

You’re right, most people either don’t care, or don’t even know enough to care in the first place.

And that’s a huge problem. Yes, companies have some responsibility here, but ultimately it’s the user who decides to use the service, and how to use it.

Not just guys, let me tell you

The only reason it’s like that is because devices come preinstalled with Windows. I would love if we had the Linux option that makes the device cost less

Well damn, federation took its sweet time to show me your reply

Working should really happen on a separate network though, business has no business being conducted on a private one.

Does that mean we can make moon photos that are even further from reality now?

Federation had a hiccup there, I’m only seeing your reply now

Supersampling is definitely something interesting, but up to what point? On a sensor this small, even something like 48 sampled to 12 already suffers to a degree where I would stop calling it useful.

Don’t get me wrong here, I can see the use first hand on my own phone. My second lens for night mode does 20MP to 5, and while the image is brighter than the main lens, it’s just as grainy, and a much lower output resolution too.

Now granted, my phone is a few years old now, and modern devices surely have better sensors, but no amount of trickery will make up for those physical limitations.

If it were an actual zoom, at least. I was absolutely delighted when I first learned that some phones do in fact have lenses with a variable focal lenght.

Having that 2x zoom through actual optics instead of it being a cropped image is fantastic, gotta say. I really want my next phone to have that, so that zooming is actually useful.

pixel binning as a ‘solution’ to a problem which needn’t even exist in the first place.

Well, I fully agree with this article. There is one other good use of binning/supersampling though, and that is better chroma resolution relative to luma.

But even that won’t do much, with all the other shortcomings already present.

It is, and I hate it so much. Like, even a full frame sensor would need some proper ISO magic at 200MP

I really don’t get the use of super high resolutions on tiny sensors like that.

Sure, you can have a crazy zoom (aka crop) while still retaining good enough resolution, but at this point?
All the detriments that minuscule, high-res sensors bring about won’t just disappear.

never really bothered with the spinoffs, as the model of Arch makes them useless and more problematic to deal with

I highly enjoy using EndeavourOS. But then again, I wouldn’t classify it as a spinoff, it’s pretty much vanilla Arch, but purple.

Now Manjaro on the other hand… Tried it and understood why so many people don’t like it within the first week.

If they transparently inform buyers about the account requirement and what that means, then they have done their duty and are compliant, I’d say.

Not that I like that.

But as long as the consumer knows everything they need to know to make an informed decision about the product they’re going to use, it’s all good.

Now, this decision also needs to be voluntary, so if there are some dark patterns or other carefully constructed circumstances bullying the consumer into accepting all the bs, then that would violate the GDPR.

But what is voluntary or not is hard to say, for many products and services. Can be argued either way, and you better believe it will be argued either way.

Combatting symptoms is nice and all, but ideally you’d want to remove the reason these symptoms exist in the first place.

But the prices being so low is exactly what makes people care less about things like privacy, so not great either

And if even Meta agrees to do it, there’s no excuse left, is there
