Looking for Compact Camera recommendation

I asked grok About a simple cam thats at least as good as the cams of iPhone 15 pro and/or the latest Google pixel Models.

I just want quick unprofessional photos that still Look nice and Detailed.

He recommended to to me the following Models and I Need yalls opinion:

  • Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III
  • Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II
  • Panasonic Lumix ZS200 (TZ200)
  • Ricoh GR III

To be honest I wanted something below 500€ but I guess I have to reach deeper into my pockets for something nice. Do yall think its worth paying quite a bit more? Or would yall Not pay much more for a nice compact cam?

If you have other recommendations please do throw them into Discussion!

Edit: sheesh i forgot this is lemmy with all the anti ai stuff. In any case I understand the hate but can we please just focus on the matter at Hand?

Why would you want to sign your commits with PGP? Is SSH insufficient?

So, feel free to correct me if I am wrong but this is my current knowledge about ts:

  1. PGP and SSH both use asymmetric encryption; in other words there is always a public and private key.
  2. You can verify the sender with your public key if the sender signs whatever he sends with his private key.
  3. You tend to insert your public key into remote Git repository like Github etc.

So should your private key not be sufficient to verify your identity when you push commits? Why would you want to use PGP instead?

How can open source projects get acquired by third parties?

today i was reminded of hastebin for some reason.

for context: hastebin.com was a site hosting the open source hastebin software to temporarily store text. it was very simple: you paste your text and then you save it. it could then be shared with anyone.

few years later it got acquired by toptal and the service went to the shitters but i digress..

how can an open source project just be acquired by someone like toptal? i know there tend to be central leaders on open source projects (which can be passed onto others) and hosting services can be costly but i figured due to the nature of open source that it is harder to take over a project..

yes i know forking is an option and that people did do that but still. under the stewardship of toptal from what ive seen the project went quite in the gutters and i havent heard of hastebin in years..
