My contribution to the from last night! I hadn't planned on venturing too far but as night drew closer and I saw all the amazing photos I packed up the gear and headed into the mountains!

Picked out a spot and packed up the gear, wonder if I’ll be alone. Hopefully we get to see something 😀

Guess I’m gonna have to figure out how to take photos of the aurora 😬

Really good look at the problems Microsoft is facing with Xbox, which fingers an angle I think is a problem across Microsoft as a whole: growth as the only real goal.

@GossiTheDog exponential growth does seem to be the only measure of success in this capitalist hellscape.

Speaker Mike Johnson claims that if Republicans don't have full control of the federal government after November, "I think we're facing very serious threats to our republic."

Some days are just outright overwhelming and depressing. Today is one of those days.

@Teri_Kanefield I'm sad that you won't chat about this stuff anymore, it’s one of the main reasons I followed you years ago because I appreciated your reasoned approach on these subjects. But it seems the angry commentators and people riled up about stuff have broken the ability for us to have civil discussion 🙁

I've never once been the enraged person messaging you, but those people have broken civil discourse in so many ways. I appreciate your work, I won't ask questions any longer.

@cdlhamma@hachyderm.io avatar

@Teri_Kanefield I'm also sad you were immediately defensive, a true loss due to our terribly broken media landscape.

cdlhamma,
@cdlhamma@hachyderm.io avatar

@Teri_Kanefield Understood. I just want you to know that what you did, here and previously on Twitter helped me recognize when I was getting tempted by the media rage cycle. And for that, I am forever appreciative. I am now largely disconnected from it.

So, thank you for that 🙂

I'm sad because others won't get that now, because sadly - they won't read the blogs.

Also I hope you plan to keep updating you "What can I do" blog post, I hope to share it again as we get closer to the election 🗳️

@Teri_Kanefield as someone who’s spent zero time in courtrooms other than almost being a juror I’m curious, is it normal to violate a judges order ten times and not end up in jail by noon? And I realize there’s gray area here. Just curious because it seems extreme 😳

cdlhamma,
@cdlhamma@hachyderm.io avatar

@Teri_Kanefield I’m asking you specifically based on what’s actually occurred, I don’t watch commentators talk about this stuff 🙂 I’m not an angry observer, just a curious one.

I know most of the people that come at you are angry already but that’s not me - just an observer.

@Teri_Kanefield I'm referring to this:

“I find you in criminal contempt for the 10th time,” said Justice Juan Merchan, who said he is concerned that Donald Trump has apparently not taken heed of his prior findings.

“Going forward, this court will have to consider a jail sentence. The last thing I want to do is put you in jail.”

@Teri_Kanefield that's not what I want at all, my apologies for engaging. I’ll just stick to reading your blog posts.

cdlhamma,
@cdlhamma@hachyderm.io avatar

@Teri_Kanefield original post below. I personally wasn’t expecting a yes or no at all, just an answer based on your experience. I always look to you for far more than a binary answer 🙂

Just a curious legal observer. I assume the talking heads are out there screaming it’s unprecedented to rile people up. But is it?

Sorry that was a long winded response!

@cdlhamma@hachyderm.io avatar

@Teri_Kanefield that was all I was really looking for personally, so for me yes that helps! When I ask questions it’s more around what happens in the real world so I can understand better. I'm probably in the minority asking questions like this and not fishing for a specific response. Maybe I should have worded my original question better 🙂

I know there's no way you can make a comment on his case specifically. I’m looking more generally when I ask a question.

@Teri_Kanefield I look forward to reading it 😀

Big game devs and publishers sure know how to take truly amazing games and destroy them. There’s absolutely no reason for this change and yet, it’s being forced. Taking one of the biggest games in years and giving it a massive black eye.

I feel terrible for the developers who actually created this game.

Can we just stop with “driver assist” and “autopilot” technology? Computers are nowhere near ready for this task with the insane number of random variables thrown at them combined with people putting too much trust in them. https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/112354836228599594

@josephschmitt I noticed some of your photos on Glass were taken on a Leica Q3, what do you think of it? I’ve been considering picking one up

cdlhamma,
@cdlhamma@hachyderm.io avatar

@josephschmitt ah! It really does look awesome from some of the videos and images I’ve seen! I’m also really intrigued with having 60mp and additional flexibility for cropping with the IQ it has.

I got on the wait list at the local Leica store 👍 I need to give them a call and see how close it is.

cdlhamma,
@cdlhamma@hachyderm.io avatar

@josephschmitt well.. turns out they have one for me! Will be picking it up tomorrow. Any accessories you'd recommend?

cdlhamma,
@cdlhamma@hachyderm.io avatar

@josephschmitt oh wow I had no idea it did that, that is pretty awesome! When I crop in on the A74 it gives me a smaller raw file instead, not really a fan of that implementation - this way is much more flexible.

And good to hear on accessories, I was going to go with the thumb grip as well. The body looks like something you could easily lose hold of
