Yeah but if they did that, farmers would have to spend an extra couple of cents of their government subsidies per chicken and then the health insurance industry would make a load less money from exploiting people hospitalised with entirely avoidable illnesses..!

Genuinely wouldn't be surprised if health insurance lobbying is part of the reason it's this way

This is super interesting, and a project I'm gonna keep an eye on. Not least of all because I've got a good selection of E-mount lenses.

One thing that's gonna be a struggle is all the specific lens corrections in photo software obviously will not be present for this. I wonder if the body behaves optically similarly enough to an existing Sony camera to be able to reuse those profiles.

They're able to shoot faster and are more compact than equivalent DSLR cameras. They also should be less prone to failure over time due to fewer moving parts

I mean that's why the owner set it up in the first place

8GB was already too low for what is positioned as a premium machine. RAM is a pretty cheap part of the whole computer, so it's completely unnecessarily small. I'm also a software engineer and the 16GB in my work MBP M1 is not even enough at times.

The big thing that's caused Apple to stop completely fleecing the people buying the low end option: AI. If you or Apple want to run local models on a machine with only 8GB of RAM, you probably won't have much left over for anything else.

I know, I deliberately said England here to emphasize they would be a good authority on the English language

Nah this looks pretty standard photoshopping to me. Pretty sure the colour grading is one of the standard filters in lightroom

Post anything on 4chan and expect insults

Are you implying there's something wrong with that?

I guess you're expected to set those up in a RAID 5 or 6 (or similar) setup to have redundancy in case of failure.

Rebuilding after a failure would be a few days of squeaky bum time though.

Uefa has warned ministers that England could be excluded from the European Championship it is co-hosting in 2028 over "concerns" that a planned independent football regulator could lead to "government interference" in the sport.

A bill to establish a body to oversee the top five tiers of the men's game in England was reintroduced in July.

The UK government has said the football watchdog will "protect clubs" by "ensuring their financial sustainability".

But in a letter sent to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and seen by BBC Sport, Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis wrote: "We do have concerns remaining... as normally football regulation should be managed by the national federation.

As someone who's been a wasps fan for decades, this is finally some positive news after what has felt like a very long silence!

Now I wonder where the ground they mention is going to be

Hey, I've been trying to subscribe to !audioproductiondeals@lemmit.online for a couple of days now and know the drill about searching it first and waiting for it to sync, but it doesn't seem to be doing the job.

It looks like other lemmit.online communities seem to work fine, but this one seems to stubbornly refuse to show up.

Is there something I'm missing here?

UPDATES BELOW

So I browse on the desktop using the mlmym/old.lemmy client (e.g. http://old.lemmy.world) because old habits die hard.

One of the many things I found myself missing from RES & Reddit was the ability to customise the community bar at the top of the page to contain some links to my favourite communities. I had a spare minute this morning to throw together a userscript for just that:

Here's a pastebin with the script. Create a new userscript in tampermonkey (or whatever userscript plugin you use), drop the code in, change the array of communities at the top to be the ones you want prepending to the list, and you should be good.

Make sure to add the server suffix to any communities from other instances and if you want to use this on another instance other than lemmy.world, just change the match rule in the userscript header comment.

I didn't host on greasyfork as I'm probably not going to make any further changes, and I'd need to come up with something a bit more sophisticated than an array of communities. I'll update this post if I ever change my mind on that

Update

So I guess I wasn't happy with leaving it alone:

Here it is on greasyfork https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/474756-lemmy-mlmym-community-bar-customisation

I added localStorage and a simple config GUI to configure the list of favourites now, no reordering yet (without just removing and re-adding in a different order), but I imagine I'll end up adding that in time

Update 2

And another update:

I've just updated GreasyFork with 0.3

  • Added reordering
  • Added background fade and background click to close
  • Added favourite/unfavourite button to the community sidebar
