  • That sounds pretty good.

    I’m looking at Leap, specifically since I don’t want to have to update constantly, and don’t mind a bit older software for those machines. I just want something that’s easy to maintain and somewhat ready to use, even if I haven’t touched it for a few months, and Arch just tends to break if you don’t update regularly.

    The only thing I need up-to-date is a browser and Discord, which I’ll probably install via its own flatpak anyways.

    It feels pretty German out of the box

    I am German myself, and I’m not sure how I have to take this. 😅 Out of my mouth this could be both a compliment and an insult, depending on context.






  • There’s the saying: “write drunk, edit sober”, that’s probably falsely attributed to one author or the other.

    I wouldn’t recommend drinking, but although I’m not a writer, sometimes hyperfocus has a similar trippy energy for me. So I guess the advice to use that energy and focus on putting text on paper and iron it out afterwards is kinda comparable.










  • Can’t tell if it is for the ad-girl. But I have to mention, that - ACKSHUALLY - this is not happening because of the focal length, but because of perspective, i.e. the distance between camera and subject.

    In order to achieve the same framing on a subject, like the dude in that GIF did, with different focal lenghts, you have to adjust how far away you stand.

    So for practical purposes, especially for portrait photography the focal length kinda forces you to do that, but it’s not the cause of perspective distortion.

    You could achieve the same effect, by taking the sameish picture with a wide angle lens and moving away from the subject with each shot and then cropping the foto to get the framing/field of view to fit the first pic in sequence. Of course you lose resolution and image quality that way, so it’s not recommended.
