    a constantly updating overview of my top processes, what’s eating resources.

    Why would you need that?

    Assuming you are using a minimal install of any distro, you already know all non essential services running because you installed them. As long as you didn’t install a package group of plasma with all its apps, you will already only have the things you need running, so your tab will mostly consist of

    „Ah yes, the machine made to be used is used. What an abhorrence!”

    like yes, vlc is indeed running and I am using all my processor cores to transcode a movie, am I gonna clamp a 5v cable to my tongue and manually read out the sectors on my drive by licking it in order, take a pen and paper and manually encode the movie to h.264?

    Also BTW if you don’t see performance problems, running htop all the time is just a waste of the resources you are so eager to preserve





  • Yes, rf did take a nosedive

    How great that there is still EF. I just got myself an r10 since Sony dosent currently have a current aps-c (want that because I throw up from the laggy ones like the 6400 had when I tried it) for around the 600-800€ range.

    Also with tamron and others canon also confirmed that they are already licensing third parties.

    But if you look at half recent ones like the Canon 70-300 is II USM or even a canon 18-55 is II (or Tamron 17-70 f/2.8, which I currently run, they’re perfectly OK for what I’m using them for at least.


  • I don’t really understand photography.

    Its just like drawing. The technique matters most.

    With food youre working with colours and macro, mostly, while with action you are trying to position yourself so you can get the best shot. With weddings its a mix.

    It dosent matter if you are really good at drawing underage incest furry porn if the dude wants you to make an oil painting of the Alps.

    And it all depends on what kinda.professional she is.


  • I like being able to debug stuff.

    Windows nowadays does not provide any meaningful logs, so everyone in their forums and such is just guessing around why things won’t work.

    DirectSound libraries are missing? Install them via a sub menu of a sub menu of a really small text in the settings, wait 20 minutes for a „loading bar” telling you nothing, and guess what problem it had when it just told you no.

    Aside from all the bugs like the menu bar just not opening and preview updates being shown with the same size as regular updates (great because older people will just install those updates too)











  • That is another situation

    Amazon is a seller. Steam is (aside from selling) a service provider with their workshop, forum, etc

    While it would be way better if those were all in a different tier for devs, so for example they can select to get less of a share for those features, what they are basically doing is sidestepping a provider

    Or in the case of photography:

    You go to a Photo shop and lend their camera equipment and services for free, but they take a 20% cut for every copy of that picture sold.

    If you buy a picture, you can download it indefinitely and get some services like changing the color grading on the website. The photo shop hosts the picture for free and only makes a profit through selling licenses. The owner also has an option to get infinite licenses for these services for free.

    What youre allowed to do is host the picture on your own, pay your own cloud provider, and sell the picture that way.

    What youre not allowed to do is generate infinite licenses for free and sell them without ever paying the photo shop for their services, while still using them.
