I use openscale and a Beuer BF700 (I think that’s the model #, it’s a model listed in the github wiki) and it works great, although I had to do the initial setup on their proprietary app to get the profiles to work right, and the scale had to be imported/was a bit hard to find. The wiki includes instructions for modifying a scale to add an arduino and the necessary bits to DIY one if you’re at all technically inclined.

I recommend it, but YMMV if you try to use a newer scale. If I ever have more time I would like to try to extend the drivers to support more scales, because openscale is very good software.

Yep, agreed! Just advocating critical thinking. Part of the problems of pseudonymous platforms with open signups is that it makes it easy and imposes low financial cost to control a bunch of accounts that people can use for ends like that.

Of course other websites and search engines themselves are doing the same, the cost for setup is just higher (hosting, SEO optimization, advertising, etc.)

I don’t really think that’s a solvable issue for open platforms, which is why I think critical thinking is crucial as an advocate for platforms. That’s why I’m here!

Nothing is impossible to compromise. It’s about making it not worth it (why go after some home lab when they can use the same methods to extort milliions of dollars?).

Unfortunately, these days it’s quite possible it’s coming from an LLM. I agree with your sentiment, you just have to always keep in mind what other possible incentives an actor on the internet may have for sharing a fact or opinion, whether it’s simply monetary (corporate wants you to buy this product), political (this state wants to you to believe this thing), or personal (this person has a grudge against this thing and is willing to use bots to amplify their discontent).

I mainly shoot nikon F mount, so I’d have to see if an adaptor is available! I know there are a ton of AI mount manual focus lenses, but I haven’t done too much research on which ones are well regarded.

Stunning, really good use of B&W!

I need more prime teles.

Agreed

Didn’t know this, thanks!

Thanks for the info! I might brave it if weather holds up then.

I’ve been wanting to do this but the bridge being down and the cold have stopped me! Did you just do it as an out and back?

Manistee?

Nope, 25 gb is just english language wikipedia compressed, no images. All the other languages are smaller.

Lemmy’s Docs are pretty good.

Under filters and blocks in settings! You definitely can.

RunnerUp for Android is great

Lol, I probably should have said “legacy”. Would hope no one is writing new SOAP APIs in 2024!

A few niche examples:

/r/generative /r/musicians /r/wildernessbackpacking /r/tropicalweather /r/analogcommunity /r/heavymind

Good luck convincing the non-technical users there to come here. This place is currently great for interests catered to programmers and sysadmins (speaking as one!), but artist and hobby communities are seriously lacking.

SOAP, which is basically dead, or GraphQL.

I think to trying meet all of these without compromises (such as privacy and performance) is basically impossible. How would one boost engagement on positive emotions or personalize without large data mining efforts, model building, and running text classification on every comment or post?

I agree they are good aspirations.
