  • We’re not defederated from them or vice versa. As you can see, we are fully up to date with each other on both ends. You can also check the instances list of both sites.

    If I had to guess, I would say that it is your language settings, which probably don’t explicitly include estonian. So anyone on that instance who tags their post or comment with an estonian language flag will be invisible to you.

  • What is going on with your moral compass that you believe that sometimes, funding bigots doesn’t make you a shitty person, yet also lets you believe that disagreeing with you on that issue topic is enough to qualify someone as a shitty person?

    If you can make an exception for people funding Rowling, you can make space for them disagreeing with you, without pretending that they’re the problem

    This story is literally a story about someone following your “advice”. A trans man used the bathroom transphobes would legally require him to use. Phobes melted down. Hurled slurs at him, threw him to the ground, screaming, yelling etc. The trans man got arrested.

    The phobes weren’t “proven to be pathetic”. The phobes were empowered, because they got someone they hate arrested, despite that person doing nothing wrong. The trans man, following the law though, ended up in gaol overnight, was legally barred from entering that bar again, and got a fine for disorderly behaviour.

    Your advice just gets trans people hurt, and does nothing to the phobes except empower them. It’s easy to offer advice from the sidelines, when to you it’s all just about the purity of the idea. But your idea is worse than useless. It’s actively harmful.


  • Apologies if this question comes off as insulting, but just to confirm, if you’re shooting manual, when you adjust the ISO to keep the exposure value the same right? The photo you’ve got there looks slightly underexposed to me

    That being said, assuming you are keeping the exposure value equal, then conventional wisdom says that you get slightly less contrast (including colour contrast) with a wide open aperture. So if you set the ISO faster, and don’t change your shutter speed, your aperture will be smaller, and you should be getting more colour contrast.

    On top of that, each lens has its own “sweet spot” where it gives you the best image quality (sharpness, contrast, saturation etc) generally but not always somewhere around f/8.

    So if you haven’t already, true adjusting your ISO to 160, and getting your aperture as close to f/8 as you can, and adjust the shutter speed to achieve that.
