Love it, awesome shot

And in that bog there’s midges

Yes 😍 it is an absolutely beautiful bog imho

And so satisfying when you know it’s going to hold tight and everything inside will be perfectly dry. Makes a real difference in how cozy it feels to sit there

Hey, reading your comment it sounds like you are angry about the story and image shared here. It makes me sad, as you seem to believe that your comment adds anything meaningful. I wish you to gain a better intuition on when expressing your opinion actually makes a valuable contribution

I thought about explaining OS to her for a second. Then I decided if she’s still enjoying life without digitalization so much that she doesn’t need a charged cell phone, it can still wait a year or two

Fife has a unique landscape, formed by its vulcanic past combined with the erosion of the sea. Different types of lava have different resilience, which is partially responsible for those stunning rock formations. Great shot!

I don’t see why people get so riled up in the comment section of this post.

Is the original post a legit psa? Definitely. Will this become problematic with European law at some point? Well at least it’s going to be interesting. Should we care? Seeing as lemmy development is partially funded by the European Commission, definitely! Should we care for altruistic reasons? Also definitely. This place is supposed to be better than the centralized corporate social media to its users, especially also regarding privacy. It’s good practice to set up new accounts every once in a while against doxing and seeing how much of the community on lemmy is built by people who are sensitive to their privacy this is sth we should respect.

Should we break down in squabbles here of one instance against another? Please, if I want to hear “all people from place x are bad” I’d just switch on an election debate. Show that your adults. Take your peers and their concerns here seriously. Make something out of it when people raise legit concerns. Thank you bonjour for bringing up this topic.

That law is definitely problematic. The phrasing was even back then critizised rightfully as too broad, too open to interpretation. It generates a bad precedent, as it could just as well be used against anti fascism activists once the AFD manages to grab power anywhere.

Now where does that come from? It stemmed from one of those actionism-phases in politics where someone said ‘oh there’s so much hate on the internet, it inspires hate on the streets, what should we do?’

The backdrop was a consistent uprising in really troubling hate speech on the internet, where people with their clear names called for lynching politicians and their families. The thing is, addressing this would not have required new laws. We would have been fine with someone actually persecuting the laws we already had.

Now the “new law” ofc makes it easier to persecute those criminal cases. But that prosecution still only happens if the police actually stand up to it. Arguments like “insufficient public interest” “insufficient staffing” “that could have been anyone writing this, how should we know that an account named Max Mustermann actually belongs to said Max Mustermann” still give the police in the more right wing states in Eastern Germany easy ways out. If they don’t want to prosecute a crime, they will always find a way around it.

With all that being said, I can only concur with observations that this law is only now being discussed in international news as right-wing governments with media ties try to make a bad mood against Germany and influence the upcoming elections. Otherwise the anti-protest laws in the UK that bring climate activists behind bars for peaceful non-violent protests would top those headlines every time.

Tl/DR; yes, that law is shit and good intentions don’t help. Police still only prosecute those they want.

what a beautiful shot!

thanks for clarifying, will remember to make a better description next time :)

Originally, I believed that I can’t build an HDR image from the mini-3 AEB-shots, as somehow HDR from JPEGs seems to not be a good idea, and apart from Photoshop there’s no software around that fully understands the DNG format of the more modern DJI drones. Then I found that I can just put them in gimp and manually build the HDR part. That meant that quite some shots I’ve taken last year could be rescued :)

I like your composition, the dramatic clouds, the path, the clear subject in the middle, the outlook on where the hike goes, great photo!

They’re all in the contacts anyways, with autocompletion once you start typing their mailaddress

Someone asked the other day ‘why so photoshopped’, when I basically did nothing to the image’. The commenter was downvoted heavily and I thought that’s not good. I liked the discussion tbh. So I thought more transparency would be good on what I do with the images. I only do this for fun, so don’t have anything to hide

Feel free to make it one
