  • Photography, like all art, is completely subjective. A good photograph is one that makes you feel something. I don’t care much for all those pictures with the perfect compositions but it’s the feeling that is important. Extra points for a photograph that delivers the feeling that the photographer intended.

    What makes a good photo is that you want to look at it. Or maybe you don’t want to look at it but you just have to. Composition can help tell a story but composition does not make the picture.

    I really like the photographer Robert Adams, and in particular his book “Skogen”. It’s filled with nice pictures and very few of them follow many of the common composition “rules”.

    You like what you like. If someone shows you pictures, just tell them what you like about the pictures.

    Have you tried org-mode in emacs? It’s got everything and more! You have zettelkast-style note taking, journal, agenda, spreadsheets and a bunch of other stuff. And everything is saved in text files.

    Emacs really is a great operating system!

    I thought it was the other way around. The thickest part of the can is the top, followed by the bottom. The sides are much thinner. I thought the reasoning behind switching to tall and narrow cans with the same internal volume was to save on aluminium.



  • This is just Russian propaganda. Ukraine weren’t even close to being considered for NATO membership when the special military intervention was announced. They’ve had a border conflict with Russia since 2014 and therefore they could not join NATO.

    Ukraine is defending itself. Zelenskyy said “I need bullets, not a ride” and the west simply helped Ukraine with what they actually needed. It’s completely reasonable that Ukraine can use western aid to strike military targets within Russia that threatens their sovereign territory.



  • Yes, but windows was not designed for the application. The application was designed for windows. This is a huge difference and blame for it not running on Linux should be placed at the producers of the application, not the os. If you want to criticize an os, then do so by looking at what does and does not work in the hardware interface, not by listing applications that have been designed for particular systems.

    For all I know, windows could be the worst thing ever to develop applications for, but since it’s the most popular OS, most companies targets it for development. It doesn’t make it a better os.





  • Well, as operating systems go, they both accomplish pretty much the same thing: an interface for programs so that they get access to hardware resources. One thing that Linux does is that it supports many more architectures than what windows does.

    In windows, the UI is a part of the operating system so customization is a lot harder than what it is in Linux.

    These are the only things that I can think of that are directly tied to the operating systems, but I’m not the most knowledgeable on these things. I honestly wonder what makes windows better as an operating system, because I can’t find anything.
