Social media was designed for folks to tell their friends what they were up to and what bands they like.

hey maybe listen to the guy who was literally there building it from the beginning?

That's a very good question, it was still online when i looked a few years ago, but now i can't find it.

oddly the audio download link links to a URL that redirects to archive.org which then says it’s not found

Is there a way to make FaceTime NOT ring on a Mac, but still have it logged in so I can place outgoing calls on it?

Phone calls too plz. When I get a call now, no less than five devices around me light up and make noises.

Make a whole bunch of videos and hone your workflow into a knife edge.

I don’t do fancy edits, and I have everything set up and ready to go so just a flick of a couple switches and I’m good to go.

I’m about 75% of the way to having a permanent recording setup in place, it’s already saved me time even tho it’s not perfect.

I still struggle with how scripted the dialogue should be. The less scripted the more editing. The more scripted, the worse the final result.

Oh no, 90% of the work is done before I hit record, that means editing is super easy.

me after voting, seeing 100% “Be Responsible” response: WOW EVERYBODY AGREES

me, 2 seconds later: oh wait, I’m the only one who voted so far

also what voodoo do you use that allows you to start filming a video the night before it’ll be released?? you must really have your post-production workflow down!

I tend to spend 3x more time editing than filming.

Dang I get both my new lens and new microphone tomorrow.

But I need to shoot tomorrow’s video tonight....do I risk waiting or should I be responsible and keep to schedule.

hmm race condition? 🤔

btw thanks for this, it turned out to be an extremely useful purchase! I can’t even count the number of times this SD card adapter has been useful to me!

@photojoseph @aaronpk I am a novice to these techs. Any idea why do I get this greenish screen with my new (inexpensive) camcorder connected to ATEM Mini?

I've seen a similar problem outputting from HDMI devices into certain monitors. Turns out HDMI has two different color modes, RGB and YUV, and some devices only support one or the other. If the camera has a setting for that, it might fix it, but I'm betting it does not.

When you compose the thumbnail but forget you set your camera to 4:3 for some family pictures...and you remember right when you sit down and import everything into photoshop. 😭

I’ve definitely had to “content-aware fill” some photos because of that 🤦‍♂️

I think that's distant enough, lots of photography answers in this thread. So you'd make the gear or use it?

I've been making videos about how to use different kinds of cameras and streaming gear. It's a nice break from the tech world even if there's still some tech aspect to it.

If you were just going to walk away from tech entirely what would you do instead?

Define tech? Cause I've been enjoying getting into the camera gear YouTube world lately which is completely different from software development tech

Totally—it’s a beautiful phone. I often carry a separate camera, and prefer small, cheap and simple.

‪Yeah I'm leaning that direction too. Even tho the iPhone camera is pretty good, a camera with a bigger sensor (RX100 or G7X) is still so much better. If I'm gonna post a picture I care about the quality, I'll use a real camera. The iPhone is good for random photos of my cat.‬

I’m still using an iPhone 7 for exactly that reason

I wasn't thrilled about FaceID when it launched, but the other features of the XS were worth it since I was upgrading from the 6S.

Apple has:

FCPX
Motion
Compressor
Logic Pro X

Why isn't there a pro photo app?

Aperture was one of my favorite apps. They should have kept it going.

I miss Aperture so much! It took me a while but I decided to go all in on Aperture. A few months later they dropped it. 😣

Took three hours to:
get my laptop to tell Home Assistant that I’m around via MQTT

reconfigure my lighting automation to take it into consideration

Bonus:
got some info on screen locking state and idle time to help adjusting lighting info

Thanks to Node-RED!
Yessss node red is great

I’m interested in improving the image quality for my video calls. Sadly, no one seems to make a truly high-end webcam. The alternative seems to be mirrorless cameras and HDMI capture devices. Am I missing something?

Seems like there might be suddenly a market for a USB camera with a nice lens.

There are however high end webcams that are used in offices, but they tend to be $2k or more which is not exactly a home user price point.

You might be surprised! Also check out this list which is about Webmentions in general rather than the specific service webmention.io https://indieweb.org/Webmention including lots of software that supports it! And if you've never heard of micro.blog, now's a good time, because everyone there is regularly sending and receiving webmentions too!
