Good dev.

This piece of interview with Roger Corman on Joe Dante's work on trailers is my fawourite:

"Were there any elements that you had to tell Dante to tone down?

Not really. There was one memorable moment when Joe showed me a trailer for a picture just before lunch. I said, “Joe, it’s alright, but it isn’t quite as exciting as I would like it to be.” He said, “Let me work on it through lunch.” I came back after lunch, and it was exactly the same trailer, trimmed a little bit, with an exploding helicopter. I said, “Joe, that’s an exploding helicopter from a war picture we shot in the Philippines!” He said, “Well, don’t you think it helps the trailer?” It did. It was great. And I thought about it for a little while, and I figured, there’s no law that says every scene in a trailer has to be in the picture. So we left it in. After that, whenever Joe had a dull moment in a trailer, he would add the exploding helicopter."

Something that I haven't seen mentioned on this topic:

having a spare charged battery with you also have so much more sense than carrying a powerbank. No losses transferring power to phone, no excessive heat, MUCH lighter.

This is what we have for radios (walkie-talkies), drones, cameras, but not for phones, where we really need this.

Not restrict, but sign.

Did you like this joke? Look here for more. Oh no, you are fediversed now, oh well.

Om-nom-nom

Most companies I worked with had a choice of the work laptop, usually Windows/Linux or MacBook. And the trick is, you cannot buy cheap MacBook. So the choice is using linux but with a terrible screen, unusable trackpad and bad hardware, or take MacBook and enjoy all premium.

So I always take MacBook and then ask for a local workstation where I will have linux with i3 / Sway WM.

Many european countries have great immigration laws and opportunities. Some companies will offer relocation assistance and reimbursment. It's a challange, but it's possible.

Just please leave your cars behind :)

I watched Star Trek: The Next Generation first, then Deep Space 9, then started Voyager, but it wasn't as good IMHO.

Now watching select episodes from The Original Series, select episodes from Voyager, Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks.

Edit: New - -> Next

Most people don't care about ethics /politics or the networks and corporations. They will use what's convenient — familiar facebook where friends and family already are, instagram where you get (this frustrates me the most) announcements from cool places about events, twitter where shitshtorms and instant news happen and so on.

None of my friends moved or know about Fediverse. Some heard about Mastodon.

Someone has been spamming random pixels on Ukrainian flag as well. I reported that as soon as bad intent was clear and so far so good. Hopefully works for you as well.

Using Pixel 8 Pro for a week now.

Comparing to Pixel 7 Pro:

• Battery life has improved, now can sometimes squeeze 2 days of use.
• Camera is better in some modes and in the dark. Selfie camera feels much better.
• Performance is the same, but never gets hot or even warm.
• screen is completely flat now, corners rounded more.

Overall, no Bugs encountered so far,very smooth experience.

According to website,

Highly compact single-piece system ideal for dismounted and covert operations.

• Dimensions (Handset): 69 x 37 x 16 cm
• Weight (Handset): 4.75 kg
• Effective range: >2.5 km
• Battery life: 2 hrs active / 7 days standby​

Microsoft SwiftKey from me.

Best features I'm sticking for:

1. Keyboard layouts could be combined (e.g. de/en together).
2. Auto punctuation is great: space after comma and full stop, full stop pn double space (but only if makes sense) etc.
3. Very customisable.
4. Suggestions are good for all languages I use.

I read it and was trying to understand why Death suddenly speaks German on 3rd panel xD

Cropping / framing the picture is the most impactful instrument. In this case I would crop unnecessary information (noise) out of the photo:

• reduce amount of the sky,
• cut from below to keep building nicely aligned in lower 2/3,
• remove a bit from the left so that the car is not pooling attention and to reduce green colour.

Picture will completely shift it's attention and mood.

Sometimes I even make few different framings as copies and get more than one story.

Refuse > Reduce > Reuse > Repurpose > Recycle

5 Rs rule

Right picture if I need to traverse fast flowing mountain river.

I hope you called the police to file a protocol.
