Und es werde „auch nicht mehr lange dauern, bis der Anzeigenmeister [sic!] eins auf die Fresse bekommt“.

Ich hab den Ausschnitt von Montana nicht gesehen und nehme an, der Ton macht die Musik, aber was er da sagt, war auch mein erster Gedanke, als ich die “Reportage” gesehen habe. Nicht, weil ich denke “ey der gehört verprügelt”, sondern weil das bei der Menge Anzeigen, die er stellt, einfach fast ausgeschlossen ist, dass er nicht früher oder später jemanden erwischt, der sein Temperament nicht im Griff hat.

Gibt doch auf Reddit (und sicher auch hier drüben) immer mal Berichte von Leuten, bei denen plötzlich der Angezeigte vor der eigenen Tür steht und sich über die Anzeige echauffiert, da einige Behörden aus irgendeinem Grund liebend gern auf Datenschutz scheißen und einfach mal direkt Adressen rausrücken.

Dazu noch die ganze Scheiße rund um Drachenlord. Wenn sich da die falschen Leute reinsteigern - und die Chance steigt halt durch solche Reportagen massiv - hat der arme Kerl echt die Arschkarte.

Epic have come a long way from Epic MegaGames, and it isn’t always a fairytale story I suppose.

Someone here on Lemmy highlighted that quite nicely when Valve dropped their Half Life documentary. Valve embraces their past. They cherish it. They still maintain their old games to honor their success.

Epic on the other hand completely wiped old Unreal titles from the relevant stores and don’t give a fuck about supporting any of them. Which is a shame. Also I admire the tech behind of modern Unreal engines, so there are still geniuses at work who are likely passionate. Too bad they essentially only ride the Fortnite train outside their engine development.

All good, but I think it’s really often a misconception that a DE like KDE, which is big and brings tons of features, must be more ressource intensive than a (feature wise) smaller DE. Which, as the benchmarks show, is surprisingly not the case.

Look on phoronix for benchmarks. Plasma consumes less RAM and CPU than even XFCE.

Those are some rookie measly numbers.

FTFY

Such lieber nach Storch Heinar. Das muntert dann wieder auf.

I counted 68 so far, but I fell asleep in between, so I may have missed some. I am also starting to believe, the cats just go back inside to jump out again.

It would be weird if the protests had a big effect on the predicted votes. Who would be all for the AfD and then suddenly go “yeah well, I changed my mind now”?

The protests should mainly convince the government to finally start the process to ban the AfD.

Pendelt in Wein

Also ist die AfD kein rechtsextremistischer Verdachtsfall, sondern macht einen bei Kontakt zu selbst zu einem? Naja, passt irgendwie auch.

I don’t think it got worse. At least in regards to webcams. It looks more like that for many years they essentially re-used the same sensors in different cams and didn’t really evolve. Which always seemed weird, given that smartphone with fantastic sensors have been around for ages now - with lenses which are likely even smaller than what a webcam would be able to allow. Only the relatively recent home office trend has brought some change. But so far it still doesn’t look too good.

It was a Logitech C922. It’s a piece of shit though. A bit less than other webcams I had, but I can’t even properly key out my greenscreen if the lighting in the room is not 100% perfect. With the smartphone cam it works even with completly shitty lighting.

The only webcam I would have somewhat hope in would be the Obsbot Tiny 2, but €350 is too much for something I can solve with an old smartphone. (Also I don’t need 70% of the features of the obsbot tiny; I mainly want a good sensor and image processing.)

I bought one of those arms you can attach to the desk and then position as necessary. They have a standard ISO mount you can use for cams, microphones, etc… I also attached my normal webcam to it before. No I have a smartphone mount (this one, to be precise) on it.

True, you will need 10 to 20 seconds setup each time. But the video quality is really impressive. And another upside: you can be damn sure that no one watches you without you knowing, because you have to setup the cam each time and it doesn’t just sit there. But I guess that’s only a minor advantage.

I put up a specific mount to quickly put the smartphone in place and have a dedicated charger cable right beside it I just need to attach real quick. If I used my iPhone, I could probably make use of the MagSafe mechanism to mount and charge in one go. (I think there are also MagSafe compatible cases for other phones, so that might be something to think about in general.)

Do you have an old SmartPhone lying around? Or could you put aside your SmartPhone during those usage scenarios? Then grab DroidCam (or rather DroidCam OBS, if you mainly need it together with OBS) and you have a camera quality that can compete with dedicated cameras (not webcams). Almost all webcams suck hard in comparison.

Naja vermutlich sind nicht unerheblich viele Modelle auf dem Markt, die eben dem Vorbesitzer auch nicht zugesagt haben (weil zu kleine Batterie, bekannte Kinderkrankheiten, weiße Sitze, …). Zudem gehen solche Wagen auch schlechter Weg und bleiben damit länger in den Portalen auffindbar. Die richtig guten Angebote sind vermutlich schneller weg, als man auf “Login” drücken kann.

An der Garantie ändert sich ja beim Gebrauchtkauf nix. Wenn der Wagen noch Garantie hat, hat er die auch noch, wenn du ihn übernimmst. Gewährleistung kriegst du - zumindest beim Privatkauf - natürlich keine.

Also new people are still motivated to change stuff. They are not yet worn down by bureaucracy.

4 million.

2 million would be 1%.

That is - IMO - what critical thinking is meant to be … thinking about alternative explanations and evaluating their viability or probability.

Unfortunately a lot of people use the term “critical thinking” as just another way to rationalize why they are against something, without actually weighing the options.
