  • I know, I’m a sports photographer myself. The photographers probably had more or less 12fps set in the camera, more would probably be overkill for a journalist portrait basically.

    Even so, you can miss something like this if you start taking photos too late or too early. I had this situation many times when a footballer goes for a header and I get a photos of the ball coming towards him and going away from him, but not the moment he touches the ball. 12fps means a photo every 83ms and you can still miss it. Not to mention a bullet going a bit faster than a ball. Everything happens faster than we realise.

    Not to mention shutter speed, how fast the shutter goes down, exposing the sensor. Too fast and you won’t get that streak, too slow and you’ll entirely miss it.

















  • The thing is, it only breaks sometimes (usually when I need it the most lol). Both are installed and I don’t think it would only not work sometimes if they were missing. I’m thinking of hopping to another distro haha I know it’s not arch’s fault, but this excuse is as good as any lmao




  • I saw a comment somewhere that said: “people have been burnt by Microsoft too many times, while Apple still has a benefit of the doubt for many people in regards to privacy”. People still have some trust in Apple, compared to MS.

    Edit: Found the comment by @deweydecibel@lemmy.world

    If Apple announced Recall? Apple wouldn’t announce Recall, that’s the whole point. Apple wouldn’t be so brazen and stupid to push a tool that is so obviously invasive and so poorly implemented. Apple earned its trust by not making those mistakes.

    But if they did decide to say fuck it and implement something like Recall, of course people would trust them. That’s what trust means: consumers take them at their word. But if it’s as bad as Microsoft’s Recall, Apple would burn all that trust when people found out.

    People don’t believe Microsoft because they have long since burned any trust and good will for most of their consumers. They have proven time and time again they don’t give a shit about users’ wants or needs, and users have felt that. So when they announce Recall, they have no earned trust. No believes them. There’s no good faith to cushion this. And it turns out everyone was right not to grant them that trust.
