  • It’s a computational mode in the camera. It takes an initial photo, and then a series of photos of equal length, and composites any new light on the subsequent photos on the first. In this case, from memory, it’s 5 photos at one second exposure each.

    Basically, it lets you do a long exposure, without blowing out static light sources.

    There’s a slight post processing change to the colour, to bring out the orange/teal effect, but it’s pretty subtle

    Edit - FYI, your reply was tagged as German, which means that non german speakering lemmy users probably won’t see it, because most instances hide replies of languages the user doesn’t speak






  • I use digikam with sidecar files on my main photo editing PC.

    We sync this directory with a media server on the local network that enables all of the local devices to access the photos and tags. In theory, it means we could run digikam on another device as well, and sync data between them via updates to the sidecar files, but in practice, we don’t do this and the media server is effectively read only.

    Then, we sync the media server images with a photoprism instance that we have running on external hosting. Photoprism recognises the keywords and sidecar data from digikam, which lets me search and access the images from anywhere.





  • All I’ve got is anecdotes, but as I understand it, trans women are less likely to get prostate cancer in the first place. Personally, I don’t know any trans women that have prostate cancer, and given how many older trans women I know, that suggests it’s less common than you’d expect in cis men.

    However, it could fit that those of us who do get prostate cancer are at a more severe level before it’s detected. In my years in the trans community, the only times I’ve learned of trans women with prostate cancer is when it’s been advanced. But those are all second hand stories and blogs/news articles etc.


  • The opening sentence of that journal article feels off…

    “Among people with prostate cancer, transgender women receiving estrogen are more likely to present with high-grade disease vs cisgender men, suggesting potential delayed diagnosis”

    Given that trans women have smaller prostates (a protective factor) and lower testosterone (a protective factor) and that estrogen therapy is the leading treatment for men with prostate cancer, it feels like quite an assumption to state that lower overall presentations of high grade cancer are potentially an indication of an increased risk of high grade cancer…



  • There are two types of people that use slurs to talk about other folk.

    The first group is made up of folk who don’t give a fuck if they’re hurting others.

    The second group is made up of folk who don’t realise the slur is a slur or don’t understand why the slur is harmful.

    The second group appreciates being informed about the consequences of their words so they can change course.

    People in the first group that are pretending they’re in the second group get angry when called out. But they were always the first group.







  • We skipped 6 and went for 7. So far, we have no devices that support 7, so it hasn’t been “worth it” yet, but it will save us having to upgrade.

    And the Wifi 6 compatible devices we have certainly benefit from it.

    It made a difference in the quality of the connection from my kiddo’s room. Wifi 6 certainly beat the crappy, interference ridden ethernet over power adaptor we had been using on their old PC
