I got a used fresnel light for indoor photography. These things are really expensive new. Now I just need a stand because this thing gets very hot.

If #Apple continues on this path I’m going to have to switch back to Android. The idea that they deserve a fee from developers for people simply running programs on their operating system is unhinged. The App Store fee is justified because it’s a distribution channel. But whatever this is, is nonsense.

@Gargron If you are really thinking deep about it, Apple after the death of Steve Jobs is a luxury brand than an innovative tech company.

While their stuff is cool and hip all from my perspective, their stuff is extraordinarily expensive, their ecosystem limits what you can do with it, and the garden wall approach.

This is a move prioritizing money rather than innovation and this isn't sadly unusual as the world slowly turns into a place of greed.

@Gargron what about the cost of developing all the developer facing api’s?

For those using the mastodon.social web app, there's been an update to one of #Mastodon's core features, the compose form! Been working on it since end of November last year, so really excited to finally bring it to light. More is to come. Let me know how you like it!

@Gargron I noticed straight away and I like it!

@Gargron Great! 😠 It was already impossible to add an alt-text on my iPod Touch but now I also can’t choose an emoticon anymore. #fail #pleasefixthis

pancake :verified:

@Gargron a before-after screenshot would be helpful for those who don’t use that instance 🙏 but i think i’ve seen it in the comments and it looks quite good!

The trailer for the new Avatar: The Last Airbender show looks decent, but even if the show turns out to be a faithful recreation of the original I'm not sure what for? The original is already perfect. It's still there. Why does it have to be recreated again?

@Gargron Right? That's EXACTLY what I said before the trailer even came out. Not knocking the show, I'm just extremely uninterested...to me, ATLA but not animated = ATLA but less interesting 😂

Daan

@Gargron as many have already said, it’s a great way to bring the material to a new audience.

I also think people put the original show too much on a pedestal. The show being animated is not the only reason people might not be watching the original. Compared to “adult” animated shows like Arcane and Castlevania, Avatar is quite cartoonish.
I’ve recently finished season 2 which I really loved, but season 1 could’ve done without much of the slapstick humor aimed at kids IMHO

I have the theme from L'homme Orchestre stuck in my head today.

@Gargron simply out of curiosity, in which context did you watch this film? Dubbed over? Properly dubbed? Only subtitles? In which language?

@Gargron there are worse things to have stuck in your head. :iara_music:

Nik Beeson

@Gargron Sounds like you're in a hurry, with some whimsy and a dose of humour. A good way to be in a hurry.

Something about this shot appeals to me. From my trip to Cumbria last autumn.

@Gargron looks like a building from Hogsmeade :)

TrueInfections

@Gargron A train station? It's interesting to see that there's a clock. There once was another on the left?

Nika

@Gargron All the equilateral triangles maybe, 60 degree angles; 6:06 on the clock...just that random weirdness

Eugen Rochko

There is no metal music video better than this. Maybe no music video at all.

@Gargron Having grown up through the progressive music ranks with the likes of Gentle Giant, Kayak, and many others, I can't believe I've not been following Haken. Now I have some catching up to do!

@Gargron
That was not what I expected, in the best way possible. Epic.

Toby Haynes

@Gargron So many good tracks from the Caligula's Horse catalogue - and they are touring right now. New album on the horizon too.

Aiono

@Gargron
Caligula's Horse I great! Especially this album is my favorite of them.

Eugen Rochko

I wish Fujifilm Superia X-tra 400 was real 😔

@Gargron I have a box of 4 rolls squirreled away in my freezer.

@Gargron seeing a bunch of 5-packs on eBay, seem pretty real ;)

It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since #CasualtiesOfCool was released. I've listened to that album about 110 times since then. If I remember correctly, this was the first song anyone heard, as a preview on their PledgeMusic campaign. PledgeMusic doesn't even exist anymore.

@Gargron Happy New Year, Eugen! Mastodon was an important part of my life this year, so thank you!

@Gargron happy new year and more to come!

@Gargron i don't think Mastodon is incrementally larger than 2023
