Why does this show “Containers” under new? I've used this feature for years and years...

Do we really though? Everyone is wasting resources doing almost exactly the same thing. Climate loses, we lose.

Lobsters is invite only. That helps. :)

What problems exactly?

$5 the first month, then price is doubled.

mikae1··on Meta loses bid to dismiss US states' claims that FB, Instagram addict children
What's funny is that I don't find fediverse apps like Mastodon to be less addictive. It could be because they (and the ActivityPub protocol) was modelled after commercial counterparts or that information foraging in an endless forest of data in itself is attractive to the human psyche.

And the planet... While I experience some schadenfreude when reading these comments from programmers, I also can not help to wonder when this insanity will this end.

Thanks! Just are reminder... For those using DoH, this is not going to help. If you use DoH in Firefox you'll have to edit network.trr.excluded-domains in about:config to include pinboard.in and do the /etc/hosts edit too.
mikae1··on The AV2 Video Standard Has Released (Final v1.0 Specification)
Depends on if you want lossy or lossless.
mikae1··on Phloto for My Photo Flow
WebP is pretty much equal to JPEGs via jpegli (for lossy compression). AVIF is better than WebP and jpegli JPEGs for lossy compression and supported pretty much everywhere now. AVIF is worse than WebP for lossless compression.

jpegli JPEGs will convert to lossy JPEG XL without generation loss when JPEG XL is more well supported.

mikae1··on Nitpicking the shell history scene in 'Tron: Legacy'
You're lucky if that's right. In Sweden there's no fair use of imagery at all. "Citaträtten" (the right to quote) only covers words.

mikae1··on Gyroflow: Video stabilization using gyroscope data
In my experience, what you call vision-based systems don't even come close to Gyroflow. After I started using Gyroflow I haven't touched the Ronin gimbal many times.
mikae1··on Gyroflow: Video stabilization using gyroscope data
Just be sure to turn off any in camera stabilization to get the best results.
mikae1··on Gyroflow: Video stabilization using gyroscope data
I use this for near 100% of my video projects at work (with Sony cameras) and it's absolutely amazing. Sony is not exactly class leading when it comes to stabilization (like Panasonic). There's a Premiere and Resolve plugin-in these days.

Fast guide:

* Be sure to turn off any in camera stabilization in Sony cameras.

* Be sure to take the added crop into account when composing.

* The faster shutter speed, the better. Forget about 1/50 for 25p. There will be the most horrible artifacts. For 25p, use 1/100 or preferably use 1/200. For 50p, use 1/200 or preferably 1/400 etc.

mikae1··on RTX 5090 and M4 MacBook Air: Can It Game?
>> This project requires a special entitlement from Apple. I’ve requested it, and heard they may be open to granting it, but I have not yet heard back, and I’m told that the wait time could be months.

> I have been bothering the VM team for years for VM GPU pass through.

Good luck. I'm sure they're keen on giving people access to this so that people can spend their money on NVIDIA GPUs instead of buying more expensive Macs. :)

Would of course be awesome, but I'd be very surprised if it happened.

mikae1··on Localsend: An open-source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop
Lovely, but was replaced by KDE Connect for me. Connect works for iOS, macOS, Android, Linux, you name it.
mikae1··on My audio interface has SSH enabled by default
CVEs and all, but I just can't wait for firmwares for cheaper modern cameras from Sony, Nikon and Panasonic getting hacked and modified too add features from more expensive models.

They're all firmware restricted to justify buying more expensive models, in one way or another way.

DNG support would be pretty awesome too.

mikae1··on DeepSeek v4
Some other reactions:

I wonder which model will try some more common spoke lacing patterns. Right now there seems to be a preference for radial lacing, which is not super common (but simple to draw). The Flash and Pro one uses 16 spoke rims, which actually exist[1] but are not super common.

The Pro model fails badly at the spokes. Heck, the spokes sit on the outside of the drive side of the rim and tire. Have a nice ride riding on the spokes (instead of the tire) welded to the side of your rim.

Both bikes have the drive side on the left, which is very very uncommon. That can't exist in the training data.

mikae1··on DeepSeek v4
Being a bicycle geometry nerd I always look at the bicycle first.

Let me tell you how much the Pro one sucks... It looks like failed Pedersen[1]. The rear wheel intersects with the bottom bracket, so it wouldn't even roll. Or rather, this bike couldn't exist.

The flash one looks surprisingly correct with some wild fork offset and the slackest of seat tubes. It's got some lowrider[2] aspirations with the small wheels, but with longer, Rivendellish[3], chainstays. The seat post has different angle than the seat tube, so good luck lowering that.

> There is even Darktable fork Ansel where they try to roll back lot of these ux mishaps.

AFAIK, the reasons Ansel exists are:

1. To yank out darktable internals for code purity reasons.

2. Its (talented) developer worked better by himself than in group.

He was vehemently opposed to any idea containing the words "intuitive" or "UX".
