Long shot, but I’ll try…
Italian friends, can you help?
Someone I know from other socials is going to study in Rome for the whole academic year and they’re looking for a place to live. Any leads or contacts would be appreciated.
Anyone, anything?

Few things taught me so much about value of honesty and transparency in communication as deceptive ads of mobile games.

Short and sweet impromptu Sunday visit at the occupied part of the University of Wroclaw.
It was the 42th day of waiting for the university authorities to respond to students’ demands to cut ties with institutions supporting genocical practices of Israel conducted on people in Palestine.

TIL according to Flickr, the manufacturer of iPhone 15 Pro is NOT the company you would think of.

Photographers of fedi, what printer do you use to produce prints of your digital photos (up to A4 or A3 format)?
(doesn't have to be super affordable but it should be small enough to be kept at home)
(I have unfavorable things to say about HP, but if you use one and want to change my mind - feel free to do so)

@npub1h0s…g0d7 That, plus that shadow on the right could use not being cut out. People seem not to care when I do that myself, but my inner perfectionist cries every time 😅

"You're the last line of defence between putting out quality and crap. And if you allow a crappy photo to go out, that people don't like or just doesn't represent what you do, that's your fault" -- Jared Polin[^1]

@npub1xy8…k9gh what is this nonsense

Some time ago, while discussing something of little relevance, I pointed out it takes more effort to debunk false statements than to express them.
Today I learnt this unfortunate phenomenon has a smart-sounding name.

@npub1aka…zzz2 That's fair.
I'm leaning towards making the whole section clickable, would probably make things easier for my sausage fingers on mobile.

@npub1yyx…qa5g I’m curious. So far my experience with it as a blogging powerhouse has been a bit of mixed bag, but I assume I haven’t scratched the surface of what’s possible.

Freakin' NASA can maintain their Voyagers for decades and ship firmware updates to them despite being VEEEEEERY far away, yet I'll 100% have to upgrade at least one computer / mobile device of mine within next 10 years due to lack of software support.
Where did we make a mistake as a species.

Tech-bros being mad because a massive tech youtuber offered a honest review of some shitty overpriced gismo. I'm gonna need lots of popcorn.
(that tech-bros are white and the youtuber in question is Black is also a pattern worth noticing)

Creative Commons licensing can by just as simple and just as complex depending on how much one cares.
I care too much and I'm seriously considering buying a stock image instead.

We spent a lot of today doing code review and I think I coined a principle of good code. I'm totally going to use it in a job interview if I'm asked and I don't care about consequences.
I'm not audacious enough to claim credit for it, but here goes:
Write your code so that you can still maintain it in half a year, on a hangover, after 2 hours of sleep.

Also, Luminar Neo is available on sale for 83% off its original price. Of course they run subscriptions, but one-time payment is still possible.
After a few moments with free trial I'm not exactly sold, but it has one particular advantage over the one I use.
Apparently it supports HEIC and DNG files from both of my phones.

Happy April Fools’ day to everyone who celebrates.
I’m a fool all year long, so I don’t celebrate.

So uhm, I blogged. And to be honest, only to a small extent it is about photography.

Dear US (?) lazywebs,
When people mention 'Thomas Friedman moment', what is the cultural context I'm missing to understand this idiom?

Sometimes when I get upselling / remarketing email from a company I just bought a product from I click 'Unsubscribe' and write nasty words in the 'reason' field.
I'm not exactly proud of it but way too many companies fail to acknowledge that being happy with the purchase isn't equal with willingness to buy another copy of the same item.
