I do also read El País, so I think that balances it out. The subsidiary journalism that doesn’t do with trans people is very very good.

:3

There was a much better portrait on the front page. No idea why they didn’t include it in the article.

why not? i don’t read their articles on gaza, if that’s your concern

the article has a link to the lumix on amazon

oops, forgot. Pretend I said CoMaps.

check the fifth image on amazon, it’s pretty small

OrganicMaps CoMaps is another OSM client with buzz

OpenStreetMaps?

I agree, but in a different way: No ethical consumption under capitalism 😃. My position on all companies is “take what you can get, bail when they yen grift”

System1 is an advertizing company that operates in the privacy niche. All I can get from all that ad copy you quoted is that they advertize 😀. I haven’t heard of them doing anything other than selling ads. AdExchanger (no idea what their reliability is but the writing style is quite frank so I’ll trust them) clocks System1 as a “Special-purpose acquisition company”.

The privacy community has a pretty favorable view of System1: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/search-engines/?h=startpage#startpage https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2020/05/03/relisting-startpage/

the law is that they have to recognize if a majority of workers vote to unionize in an National Labor Relations Board secret ballot, so in any case this is a formality

I didn’t realize you meant the price of the base iPhone. But for one, at $500, you can get a Pixel 10a, which topped categories in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRoTOE3FqT0. Besides that you can get similar camera quality for $200 by simply buying a phone from four years ago,

No? The Oppo Find X9 Pro is $800, including tariffs. (In China, it’s ¥5300 while the iPhone 17 Pro is ¥9000.) And take care that it’s not just good, it’s reviewed as the absolute best of the year.

for once i’m not blaming microsoft for adware

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28_Years_Later is the $150-million gross sequel to the trailblazing 2002 28 Days Later, which reinvigorated zombie horror.

The themes of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangerine_(film) (2015) laid the groundwork for the same director’s Oscar-winning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anora .

what the article said about its successor:

The best camera for street photography Ricoh GR IV: Ricoh GR IV

This camera looks like a classic soap-bar-style point-and-shoot but packs a big APS-C sensor and a seriously sharp lens. But it shoots only wide-angle photos, and it lacks a viewfinder.

The Ricoh GR IV is the Platonic ideal of a street-photography camera, especially if you like to shoot quickly and covertly. Its minimalist design won’t catch anyone’s attention, you can easily slip it into and out of a pants pocket, and its wide-angle field of view and unique Snap Focus feature let you quickly shoot from the hip. If you want to take more time with your compositions, it’s a great all-around travel camera, too.

But skinny-jeans pocketability comes at a cost: This camera lacks an electronic viewfinder (an optical viewfinder is available separately), its rear display doesn’t tilt, and its wide-angle lens doesn’t zoom.

If you like the idea of the Ricoh GR IV but prefer a field of view closer to that of a classic “normal” lens: Ricoh is still producing last generation’s GR IIIx. It’s almost exactly the same camera as the discontinued GR III, but with a 40mm-equivalent lens.

Compared with the GR IV we recommend, it has a very slightly lower resolution sensor (24 megapixels), uses an older (but still effective) version of shake reduction, has a slightly different control scheme, and doesn’t include the Cinema Yellow and Cinema Green film modes. However, the overall shooting experience is quite similar.

what’s your price point? did you consider the article’s “disposable film camera” suggestion? the article mentions some high-end compact cameras at $1500 and links their review of point-and-shoots, which includes “The best camera for capturing distant subjects: Panasonic Lumix FZ80D, $435 from Best Buy”
