The US Is Considering a TP-Link Router Ban—Should You Worry?
  • The US government has something of a credibility crisis, doesn't it? (And I don't think it started with Trump, though he makes it worse.)

  • Twitch’s new storage limits will purge huge swaths of Internet gaming history
  • Yeah, I can sort of understand the impulse that everything must be preserved no matter what because we don't know what will be useful or interesting, but it's not realistic. Embrace ephemerality! It's fine!

  • Removing Jeff Bezos From My Bed ◆ Truffle Security Co.
  • Sounds like an opportunity for someone to crowdfund a privacy respecting cover+chiller package.

  • Linux royalty backs adoption of Rust for kernel code
  • Learning Rust made me a better C# programmer.

  • I had a galago pro and it was not well built. It fell apart faster than any other laptop I've used.

  • Framework hasn't done that yet. They have an event in 3 days and a lot of people seem to be thirsting for a Strix Halo main board, though.

  • Accidentally wound up with Ilford Delta ISO 3200 film. Can I use it, or should I return it?
  • That's a great resource I was unaware of! Thank you.

  • Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout
  • Is that Falkon? I'd use it if it could integrate with bitwarden.

  • Amazon is changing what is written in books
  • Sorry, no. No other e-ink devices at all.

  • Accidentally wound up with Ilford Delta ISO 3200 film. Can I use it, or should I return it?
  • That's something I hadn't considered. I'll look into it. My naive expectation is that I would need better optics.

  • Amazon is changing what is written in books
  • I have not been at all dissatisfied with its clarity. I bet on a LCD or OLED screen the DPI would be noticeable, but not on an e-ink display.

  • Accidentally wound up with Ilford Delta ISO 3200 film. Can I use it, or should I return it?
  • With black and white, I'm actually interested in doing the development myself. So once I'm comfortable doing it by the numbers I'll probably give that a shot. Thanks.

  • Accidentally wound up with Ilford Delta ISO 3200 film. Can I use it, or should I return it?
  • Thanks, I'll hold onto it and give it a try once I know what I'm doing a bit better.

  • Amazon is changing what is written in books
  • What you've written is true, but none of it applies to ebooks.

  • Amazon is changing what is written in books
  • That's not unlike the experience on my Kobo Elipsa 2e.

  • Trip to Seville [Kodak Ektar H35N | Kodak Ultramax 400]
  • I recently bought one of these on a lark. I've yet to develop any film, but I like some of the results I've seen.

  • Accidentally wound up with Ilford Delta ISO 3200 film. Can I use it, or should I return it?

    I have recently started getting into film photography and I'm still learning the ropes. After buying a variety of color and black and white films to experiment with, I noticed that I somehow accidentally bought a couple of rolls of very high speed Ilford Delta ISO 3200 film. At this point, all I have is a Kodak Ektar H35N and an Olympus Pen-EES 2 which has a max ISO of 400. Is the Ilford film useless to me, or can it be used at lower speeds in certain conditions?

    EDIT: This is tangential, but I was originally going to ask this question on Reddit instead of Lemmy because the conventional wisdom is that Lemmy isn't useful yet for more niche topics, but I thought "why not try Lemmy first anyway," and I'm glad I did. I found the most active film photography community on Lemmyverse.net (which hadn't yet even federated to my small instance) and it paid off. How nice!

    Lemmy Support @lemmy.ml Bilb! @lem.monster

    Remote Moderator actions still do not seem to work after upgrading to 0.18.5

    I was made moderator of the /c/TrueAnon on the lemmy.ml instance a while ago, and none of my actions have ever federated to lemmy.ml, so I gave up. Thought I'd try again after this upgrade and still no dice. The response I'm getting back from the API when I try to add my lemmy.ml account to moderator status is "not_a_moderator." Is this a transient federation issue or are there more fixes required for this scenario to work correctly?

    What hardware do you use to play?

    I play with an Index. I'm looking for an alternative though, and the one game I play regularly is Beat Saber. I'd like to know what the experience is like with other hardware.

    I'd really like a better logo.

    I hastily had the current one made with DALL-E using the prompt "cartoon lemming monster with fangs." I think it lacks charm. I'm not an artist, so maybe I'll try a better generative art tool or ask one of my artist friends for a doodle.
