Attached: 1 image Caladenia pusilla (tiny fingers) in open grassland near the Genoa River, VIC. Only one flower out at this location at the start of October - but several more in bud close by. Flowers are very small on this easily over-looked orchid - tip of my little finger included here for scale. #Orchids #OzPlants #Biodiversity #Ecology #Botany #Photography #Spring #InTheField #Nature #BloomScrolling #EastGippsland #Caladenia

I feel like I had a big part in this after gandi went crazy with price increases 😅

Also, if you’re still using gandi, it’s time to move.

Oh look, riverside.fm now supports podcast editing via an LLM chat box.

I can hardly contain my excitement.

@tom yep. We have the same problem. It only works if you are following a team that is not in your market - like my family follows the tigers but we live in Atlanta, so it works. But trying to watch the Braves is a hot mess

@tom it is remarkable how MLB has taken such a simple concept and made so damn complicated, frustrating, and disappointing

Tropical Storm Jerry🌀 @jerry.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gy · 8d

@calbearo that's basically the problem

I just got an alert that Nvidia’s market cap crossed $4.5T. I know I am mixing elephants and telephone poles here, but it seems weird that the manufacturer of IT components has a market cap that is almost 15% of the GDP of the US for 2025 🤔

@exchgr @Viss there are a few reasons it’s beneficial to make the jump. Generally speaking, 100 or 150 megapixel images don’t provide a benefit for most applications like you say, but medium format has a much larger dynamic range than full frame, just like full frame does vs apsc and apsc has vs […]

@jtk @mastometrics looks like it might be abandon.

@Viss I would not mind getting into medium format at some point, but I thought full frame cameras were expensive...

@Viss This is the file properties. I must be misinterpreting lightroom's bit depth setting on export, because this is showing it at 48 bits. I should note that this PNG is considerably larger than the raw files (about 3x larger). Experimentation is fun

Tropical Storm Jerry🌀 @jerry.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gy · 9d

I exported those as full resolution png files with 16 bit color depth, and the file sizes are wild - about 160MB each.

The videos from Portland this morning are just terrible. People sitting around in star bucks talking and drinking their coffees, hiking, and riding bikes like nothing is happening.

@ferrix I have to be honest and admit that if they hadn’t left the name placeholder in, I would have almost certainly approved it. And it has me wondering how many were written by AI and properly tweaked an I happily and blindly approved.
