Hmm πŸ€” that's fair but I think more often than not it's not what the photographer remembered of that moment but down to common practices with color curves and histograms in Lightroom or something.

I like your idea but I think it's more of a post-render is more like what you remember.

However you can't use your own editing skills to get the picture to how YOU remember it or want it when it's already in someone else's version.

Which fine. Like you never got to SEE yourself and that's why you hired the photographer.

My issue is that I would be happier hiring someone if I didn't have to use their awful makeup filter mode photos that don't even look like we're real people.

So watermark the raw as unedited or something so you can verify it wasn't your finished product. Don't lock me out of being unable to see the actual moment of me and my family.

Ah well you actually give the option to purchase the RAW which I'm fine with. At least ALLOW me to have an option to have the RAW myself.

I appreciate you taking the time to explain yourself and I can see circumstances where a professional's reputation and work quality are directly correlated with their future business and financial stability.

But I'd gladly pay a fee and I straight up had a photographer deny me family photo RAWs because they "never" allowed anyone access to those.

Ah this is perfect you can enlighten me then.

How are you a photographer trained in the art of capturing a moment with appropriate focus, lighting, timing, and framing providing a service to me?

By not providing me that moment in its purest form.

If I'm hiring you to photograph me not to be my digital artist. Or at least offer both.

By not providing the RAWs you're literally providing a restriction in my access to the moment I hired you to capture.

If I designed a web site for you and then when you tried to move your hosting to someone else and said "Oh sorry that web site is only provided as part of my services." And forced you to create a whole new design to host somewhere else. It's quite plain to see that's manipulative business practices.

In my view it comes from an insecurity of photographers that they can't compete with photoshoppers but the reality is I'm paying you to use your skills to capture the moment correctly. Frankly idgaf how good your Photoshop skills are. Especially now with A.I. "authentic" photos will become all the more valuable to people.

I have met a few photographers who absolutely will not agree to that and it infuriates me. Must be some new trend of pro photographer influencer bull to hold your raws hostage.

Switch that spaghetti out for a pint of ice cream and you're not living the good life

Someone please explain this to me. My smooth brain can't comprehend.

It's in the iso 😒 how hard is it to switch out void on the livecd?

[–] netwren@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Dope. I just memorized it to 50 digits. Good to know for my intents and purposes it doesn't matter at all anyway.

Ah man this is the first meme I saw and I just got done giving up trying to install Arch because I'm getting some systemd hang from the USB installer.

 

Studying and awk came up.

Spent about an hour and I see some useful commands that extend past what "cut" can do. But really when dealing with printf() format statements is anyone using awk scripts for this?

Or is everyone just using their familiar scripting language. I'd reach for Python for the problems being presented as useful for awk.

 

Even though it's pretty subjective, I'm curious what other comedy podcasts out there are on the top of their game.

Currently I've been listening to Your Mom's House but I've heard from others that it's fallen a bit since it's earlier years.

 

Has anyone else noticed an absence of new releases on PCVR?

I feel like the latest game was Ghosts of Tabor and everything else came out 2022 or earlier.

 

What are your favorite resources to recommend for beginners?

I'm wanting to get interested for doing a cyberdeck case, and/or custom cluster racks for Raspberry Pi's but any and all newbie resources would be appropriate for this question.

 

Loved the aesthetics from pictures I had seen of other cyberdecks.

Does anyone have recommendations on builds to get started with?

 

It would be convenient to swipe away posts I've already seen. Something I got used to as a habit on RIF once I got it setup.

Definitely not a deal breaker but might make for a nice UX add.

Thanks for the hard work!!

Can the admins in lemmyworld capture some data on what the real cost of hosting a Lemmy and what the user capacity is like?

I'd consider hosting a federated servers for my friends and I would like to know some tangible parameters on how big I could go.

Edit: Thanks everybody! Seems like a standard VPS is the go to. I think I have the wherewithal to do this at some point with my skill set. Will start looking into it.
