Fife has a unique landscape, formed by its vulcanic past combined with the erosion of the sea. Different types of lava have different resilience, which is partially responsible for those stunning rock formations. Great shot!

I don’t see why people get so riled up in the comment section of this post.

Is the original post a legit psa? Definitely. Will this become problematic with European law at some point? Well at least it’s going to be interesting. Should we care? Seeing as lemmy development is partially funded by the European Commission, definitely! Should we care for altruistic reasons? Also definitely. This place is supposed to be better than the centralized corporate social media to its users, especially also regarding privacy. It’s good practice to set up new accounts every once in a while against doxing and seeing how much of the community on lemmy is built by people who are sensitive to their privacy this is sth we should respect.

Should we break down in squabbles here of one instance against another? Please, if I want to hear “all people from place x are bad” I’d just switch on an election debate. Show that your adults. Take your peers and their concerns here seriously. Make something out of it when people raise legit concerns. Thank you bonjour for bringing up this topic.

That law is definitely problematic. The phrasing was even back then critizised rightfully as too broad, too open to interpretation. It generates a bad precedent, as it could just as well be used against anti fascism activists once the AFD manages to grab power anywhere.

Now where does that come from? It stemmed from one of those actionism-phases in politics where someone said ‘oh there’s so much hate on the internet, it inspires hate on the streets, what should we do?’

The backdrop was a consistent uprising in really troubling hate speech on the internet, where people with their clear names called for lynching politicians and their families. The thing is, addressing this would not have required new laws. We would have been fine with someone actually persecuting the laws we already had.

Now the “new law” ofc makes it easier to persecute those criminal cases. But that prosecution still only happens if the police actually stand up to it. Arguments like “insufficient public interest” “insufficient staffing” “that could have been anyone writing this, how should we know that an account named Max Mustermann actually belongs to said Max Mustermann” still give the police in the more right wing states in Eastern Germany easy ways out. If they don’t want to prosecute a crime, they will always find a way around it.

With all that being said, I can only concur with observations that this law is only now being discussed in international news as right-wing governments with media ties try to make a bad mood against Germany and influence the upcoming elections. Otherwise the anti-protest laws in the UK that bring climate activists behind bars for peaceful non-violent protests would top those headlines every time.

Tl/DR; yes, that law is shit and good intentions don’t help. Police still only prosecute those they want.

what a beautiful shot!

thanks for clarifying, will remember to make a better description next time :)

Originally, I believed that I can’t build an HDR image from the mini-3 AEB-shots, as somehow HDR from JPEGs seems to not be a good idea, and apart from Photoshop there’s no software around that fully understands the DNG format of the more modern DJI drones. Then I found that I can just put them in gimp and manually build the HDR part. That meant that quite some shots I’ve taken last year could be rescued :)

I like your composition, the dramatic clouds, the path, the clear subject in the middle, the outlook on where the hike goes, great photo!

They’re all in the contacts anyways, with autocompletion once you start typing their mailaddress

Someone asked the other day ‘why so photoshopped’, when I basically did nothing to the image’. The commenter was downvoted heavily and I thought that’s not good. I liked the discussion tbh. So I thought more transparency would be good on what I do with the images. I only do this for fun, so don’t have anything to hide

Feel free to make it one

I tried that but found that it is still too unpopulated. The instances I found just had posts by the same five people. But I agree, the software is great, it just lacks an audience :)

TL/DR; c/pics and c/photography are the only places I share images.

Wow - that’s quite the compliment for a dude who just likes to post holiday images. I don’t post my pictures anywhere else, as I don’t believe in letting Meta and others commercialize my photos or feed their AI monsters with it.

I like it here, I like the federation, I like that nobody restricts my upload size or compresses my images and I really like the vibe of the whole place and that I can just pay a buck a month to cover my costs instead of lots of ads and data scraping. Some months ago I thought c/pics is great but it could do with more content. So instead of complaining I started posting my own humble tries here, following the motto mediocre content is better than no content.

I’ll take your question as encouragement and keep posting.

Oh wow, didn’t expect that :)

Thanks!

Sensor noise on higher gains I’d guess. Normally I take images like this in manual and fiddle around with the settings until I get it right. In this case I had to be quick because the light was changing by the minute so I shot in auto. But I agree with you, I also liked the effect here that’s why I kept it.

Didn’t do any editing, came out of the camera like that. But dji already does quite heavy editing. The problem is that the raw format in which they save the file is AFAIK only fully implemented by Photoshop, so working with jpegs it is…

The limestone above is not high enough to really filter out whatever the farmer on top throws on their field, so it’s contaminated with pestizides and not recommended for drinking. It smells like fresh water.

Same tour we did, I also really enjoyed it :)

The oldest traces of mankind in the cave go back to the Celtics, so quite some time ago. It is well explored. The cave is only accessible with licensed guides. We went in the first kilometer, where everything is still pretty tame, no protracted crawling etc + it was a dry day with low water levels. But yeah, 2h in and you know you will take 2h again to get out. That’s the point where you start wondering what happens if someone breaks their ankle…

The guide explained to us that there is a cave rescue team that comes and gets you out of anything happens, but it takes roughly 14 h to get someone injured back out again o.O
