@Snowgaze ❄️:cravo: Agreed

But even downsampling both to 12 megapixels, the camera image still has more detail:

Curious about just how good the quad bayer "48 megapixel" pro raw camera in the iPhone 16 Pro is, I put it head to head against my 26 megapixel Fuji XE4 with a 16mm lens (stopped down to f/5.6) to closely match field of view. I photographed the same scene on both. Here are 100% crops from both, scaled to the same size.

Notably, the phone, despite having more pixels, simply does not capture the amount of fine detail that the Fuji captures with only half as many pixels.

As good as camera phones have got, you simply cannot compete against large photosensors fed by a nice expensive quality piece of glass.

Neurodivergent people can read and listen to podcasts too, you know. This sort of thing makes us profoundly angry.

My father was not a “super hero”. He was my first bully.

@Steffen K9 🐰 @Hypolite Petovan Ok, so I think I need to do this: linux.how2shout.com/how-to-ins…

Which I did, and restarted everything, but it's still bollocksed

So I'm kinda out of ideas beyond manually blocking the offending user each time this happens

Apple: “And our new iPhone 16 has hardware ray tracing for unparalleled mobile gaming performance”

Mobile gaming:

OK, more digging. It's failing in line 231 of /var/www/html/src/Object/Image.php.

Which is this:

} catch (\Throwable $error) {
			/** @see https://github.com/php/doc-en/commit/d09a881a8e9059d11e756ee59d75bf404d6941ed */
			if (strstr($error->getMessage(), "gd-webp cannot allocate temporary buffer")) {
				DI::logger()->notice('Image is probably animated and therefore unsupported', ['message' => $error->getMessage(), 'code' => $error->getCode(), 'trace' => $error->getTraceAsString(), 'file' => $this->filename]);
			} else {
				DI::logger()->warning('Unexpected throwable.', ['message' => $error->getMessage(), 'code' => $error->getCode(), 'trace' => $error->getTraceAsString(), 'file' => $this->filename]);
			}

So my suspicion was right: it's animated GIF avatars which are causing this. However, rather than fail gracefully, I'm left with a zombie worker job which seems to persist forever.

What we had planned for this last week: Tréguier to Bendodet, versus what we did: Tréguier to Quiberon.

I am bloody proud of us.

So it turns out that if you have your own sailboat, you can rock up at Cherbourg Marina and as long as it’s after 6, nobody knows or cares because immigration have gone home to watch the football or some shit.

Illegal border crossing is something you get to do if you’re middle class, apparently.

Project “Oui Oui Baguette” taking our boat, Scarlet, to France as the start of moving her to Portugal, on Monday.

Looks like we’ll be motoring for 14 hours. Not enough wind forecast to make the sails go.

They’re still there. I deleted the cron container and recreated it and they haven’t gone away.

Will they ever go away? These are clearly some sort of zombie.

!Friendica Support Hey all.

The top two jobs here have been stuck for 4 days.

Is there a way I can remove them?

Was in the uk for the last week.

Yeah

I feel like I have a “brand”, and that brand is “slightly psychotic middle aged tomboy trans lesbian”.

And brands must be maintained.

So when it’s time to descale the kettle, and other people use vinegar …

Five years ago, the East Of England Liberal Democrats posted a photo of two transgender women, me and @Zoë O'Connell, wearing “Bollocks to Brexit” T-Shirts.

It is a sign of how far UK politics has fallen that that is utterly unthinkable now. Both the total erasure of transgender people’s existence and acceptance of Brexit are utter orthodoxy across the political spectrum there now.

Apparently this beach is accessed only by sea.

WRONG

Free soloed the bigger, down and up.

Because I can.
