More than 6GB per minute in 4K? Because that already seemed like a lot.

Alright, fair. Noted. Just because their marketing calls it ProRes RAW doesn’t mean it is true RAW. I didn’t look into it that much.

What I do know though and what my point was about is that it makes big files fast. Files of a type and scale you can’t effectively do anything useful with on an iPhone itself. So if you want to edit them (and why else would you shoot in that format?) then step 1 is that you want them off the phone and on a platform that can deal with them. And for that transfer speed matters.

There is at least 1 use case for it: some of the newer iPhones can shoot raw format video. Apple calls this ProRes. It is also possible to take those videos as large as 4K. This comes out to about 6GB per minute of video taken.

Imagine someone like a YouTuber decided to take a couple of 20-30 minute clips. Yeah, I wouldn’t want to wait for wireless transfer on that. Especially not if that is a regular thing someone does.

Off of the top of my head:

• Makeup,
• (Some types of ) clothing,
• the diet industry - not saying hating your body is the only reason for a diet, but I suspect it’s 50-80% of the industry anyway
• some parts of workout industry
• some types of self-help books
• cosmetic surgery

I currently live to make life a little better for animals and other people. And when I have time left over I use creative outlets to create stuff.

Here I was laughing at a silly man trying to forbid something that never happens. Now I’m sad again. How on earth is this the lived reality of so many children? Can’t do much from over here in Europe but what the heck.

Yeah, this is definitely just someone who got told (possibly even by a band member of Rage Against the Machine themselves) what the songs and the band are actually about. Doubt a single song will ever be made.

Doubt I’ll be much help here if you’re worried about carbs. My main comfort food is pasta. Piles of pasta. I like just about any sauce or topping.

Only advice I’ve got is to think back to your childhood and see if you can think of anything that might scratch a nostalgia itch. That usually helps me too.

Well, if Pakistan got it right this might just be disconcerting enough for India to abort this planned attack . Even if Pakistan didn’t get it right or are maybe even bluffing it might create an international reaction that could cause India pause before any future attacks.

I suspect that’s exactly the reaction Pakistan is hoping for.

Pavement does heat up more in the sun. Might have been a mainly sunny day.

I understand what lentils and rice are good for, but what on earth did Ben do to deserve being cooked?

I feel there is a certain maximum amount of influence a for profit company should be allowed to grow to. They have long surpassed it.

The other ones for me are: Neil Gaiman because of the recent sexual abuse/ coercion thing with multiple victims and the band Disturbed because of the political views of their lead singer.

Yeah, I too just can’t unsee her influence in her work. I would have made a deliberate choice to no longer support her with my money, even if I could still enjoy HP. But it turns out my brain just won’t let me enjoy any of it anymore. Things I used to enjoy suddenly being almost revolting to me only ever happened to me with 3 different artists and she is one of them.

Couldn’t agree more. Those books were my safe space growing up. I miss being able to enjoy them. Sadly it doesn’t work that way for me anymore. They feel tainted and wrong to me now.

Fair. I do really hope that the fans who think like that do make a point of differentiating between HP stuff that does line JK’s pocket and stuff that doesn’t. It’s one thing writing or reading fan fiction but a wholly different thing to buy the latest game for example. I personally lost interest because I can not unsee her influence on the world she created. Wish I could though. It used to be such a comfort when I could still enjoy it.

I think the concept is frequently called “Death of the Author”. It’s the idea that you can see a text or piece of art as entirely removed from the artist themselves. In the case of Rowling I would argue this is a bad idea as she is actively seeing support for any of her work, regardless if fictional or otherwise, as active support for her view on trans people.

Whenever I see another example of how that woman is attacking marginalized people who are just trying to live their life multiple things happen:

1. I feel horrible for trans people - especially (former) Harry Potter fans. And I remember that her comments have real life impact directly and indirectly leading to more trans deaths both self inflicted and by violent attacks.

2. I wonder how I can best publicly boycott her work as she has stated that she sees any support for her work as people agreeing with her bullying

3. I remember that there is no way in which a well adjusted, mentally healthy, happy person would act this way. So I at least rest a bit easier knowing she’s miserable.

Honestly I think there’s a strong difference between people reacting to content who are adding value (eg adding meaning information, elaborating on their opinion, etc) and people who “react to content” just to get away with reposting the content. The second group tends to try to obscure as little of the original video as they can get away with and if you subscribe to them you effectively get a pre-curated list of somewhat interesting videos (if you can ignore their heads or a silly automated voiceover).

Sadly both groups often don’t credit the original creators, so whoever actually made the original content tends to be out of luck regarding getting their fair share of revenue or digital traffic.
