Enjoying Mexico City with some friends who travelled from Canada just to surprise me on my 40th birthday (tomorrow).

Nice excuse to bring out the old Fuji X-T10 and 35mm f/1.4 and generate some #bokeh 📷

Just to be clear: Mickey Mouse being in the public domain doesn't matter and never did, other than Disney being the antagonist promoting copyright term extensions over the course of the 20th century.

What matters is the literally endless list of other works that were kept out of the commons because of Mickey.

Mickey was a reverse-canary in the coal mine. Now that his copyright is finally dead, the rest of culture can finally breathe free.

@halide Is Halide Macro mode OK?

Comparing macro shots from default Camera and Halide, I found there was a lot of noise and ugly sharpening in the Halide ones, and after doing some controlled tests with a tripod and remote shutter, it seems to confirm my hunch.

The Halide versions of these are worse, right? Less detail and oversharpened, with chunky noise in the background despite a lower ISO.

Any chance Halide could “use default macro" and just add the manual focus/exposure options?

A comparison of two images like the previous photo, again showing over sharpening.

@halide Is there some way Halide could add metadata to images that would show in the macOS Photos app? Or to see which images are from Halide with what's there now?

I can see "Saved from Halide” when browsing on iOS, but it's invisible on my MacBook. Maybe it's just an omission from Apple, and they'll update it at some point. macOS Photos all around sucks compared to on iOS.

Would be really useful in figuring when Halide improves my captures without opening my phone to check.

Excellent overview of a difficult subject by @globalvoices

“Over the last 45 years, the Islamic Republic of Iran has weaponized textbooks, religious debates, movies and series, city walls, and even cemeteries to impose cultural violence and institutionalize its dominance, particularly over religious minorities.”

Another excellent reflection on the situation in #Palestine by @justinling , this time comparing it to the US quagmire in Iraq:

“Whatever the strategic objectives of invasion, without a clear exit strategy you will have no choice but to fight the forever war. Any action you take will radicalize the people you control — and it will radicalize your own people as well.”

So “Container Queries” are now working in all major browsers, assuming people have updated since Sep 2023…

Can we please start using them for everything?

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_container_queries

I think I'll start employing it for responsive refinements, where the page still always makes sense without them, but uses them to get perfect layouts at every possible breakpoint, which is the long-awaited promise of container-based styles.
