Interesting, so it seems to depend on how accessible the manufacturer makes their camera api?

Does that make sense? I don’t know much about how this all works, to be honest

Oh, that sounds annoying. If it’s any consolation, there’s clip-on macro lenses for closer focus that can be had for just a few bucks.

Speaking from experience, you can produce some really cool shots with those, if there isn’t any other solution for that problem.

Ohhh, okay. Gotta say, wouldn’t have surprised me though.

auto-focus on the macro lens just doesn’t work (making that one useless)

So you basically have a fixed focus distance, or is it all over the place because the auto-focus freaks out?

Oh wow, so it’s even worse than I thought. It works on my one+ 5t, but maybe because I’m running DivestOS? Or one+ has just closed down the camera api on newer models

Yeah, the only alternative I know of would be Gcam with unnecessary permissions removed.

Other than that, the LineageOS default cam can use all the lenses, but doesn’t have any useful manual settings.

OpenCamera is pretty damn good, offering pretty much all the manual settings you could want.

There is only one downside to it:
As far as I know, it can only use the phones (back and front) main camera lens. So if your phone has extra lenses for tele, night mode or whatever, OpenCamera can’t do anything with them.

At least from my experience.

Unless it’s something dangerous and you don’t know what you’re doing. Don’t want to get a garage door spring to the face

I’ve had the same Casio watch for 16 years now, just had to change the battery once. Sturdy and precise.

Well, almost. A while ago it set itself to be three hours off, and I can’t figure out how to get it back to my timezone. I follow the steps in the manual to have it re-set itself, but it’s still three hours off.

I don’t understand where it gets that time from

never really bothered with the spinoffs, as the model of Arch makes them useless and more problematic to deal with

I highly enjoy using EndeavourOS. But then again, I wouldn’t classify it as a spinoff, it’s pretty much vanilla Arch, but purple.

Now Manjaro on the other hand… Tried it and understood why so many people don’t like it within the first week.

But when the time comes and the kid needs to write some assignments for school, you can be like Your Steam Deck can do that too, have a look at what this dock does

Imagine if handheld gaming is all they’ve ever used it and known it for, and all of a sudden you show them than it can be a full desktop experience, too

My mind would’ve been blown back when I was a kid

I was going to say Siege, but they removed the ability to play as a team of exclusively shield recruits, I’ve heard.

Pretty much all the basic tools are named after and have icons looking like the original, physical tools used back in the analog days of photography, and also painting and printing in general.

Brush, pen and scissors being the obvious ones, masking should also be fairly self-explanatory. But then there’s also stuff like dodging and burning, which is a technique used in the darkroom to increase or decrease exposure of specific parts of the physical image, and a lot more I have to look up the english names for first

I wonder how many people do photo editing while being blissfully unaware of why the tools are named the way they are.

Don’t get me wrong here, I fully support pirating Adobe products.

It’s just that their software is incredibly annoying and bloated on top of being grotesquely expensive

Like the other commenter said, you can always check out the free trial first.

Unlike certain other products, you don’t need to provide any payment information, and you start the trial period whenever you want, for each product individually.

And to add to that, once your product is activated with the license bound to your account, you can use it without having to be online or logged in.

Even then I’d feel robbed

Fuck Adobe, fuck anyone who makes decisions at Adobe. Fuck Pantone too, while we’re at it

I guess that’s an exta benefit of having to raise protein intake on a calorie deficit. High quality protein is very satiating.

I think it’s enabled by default, but you can also just disable it for specific apps.

But if you leave it enabled and permissions get revoked after a while, you’ll get a notification telling you about it. I think that’s fair.

There’s always going to be a debate on whether something like this should be opt-in or opt-out, but for the purpose of privacy and data security, it makes sense to be on by default, I reckon.

There is very little reason any app should keep its permissions if you never actually use it, is there?

Especially when most people use apps that phone home every last piece of data they give them access to.

Wasting anything that’s still safe to eat should upset you
