So what's the exception?

Some places have sessions organized by employees organically. Management doesn't really care about these ones. They're about things that aren't directly useful in the job; one's a #language #enthusiast and wants to talk about #Elixir, which the company doesn't (yet) use internally, and others are interested in it for their own #curiosity.

#Stuff like that.

The critical part is, these are employee-to-employee interests, not company training.

I already had an espresso habit before #jameshoffmann but now the #espresso #enthusiast has risen from those dark #coffee ground.

I appreciate that you're an #astronomer and a #Space #enthusiast
But please!
Remove your tongue from #SpaceKaren's sphincter and stop blowing smoke.
Giving him a pass on facilitating #Fascism?
Really?
#Hitler solved Germany's unemployment problem, maybe he deserves a #2ndChance?

@DeciTM Oh no.

I've seen so many, and many of those moved here from Twitter. The keyboards all look SO PRETTY!😭 🥰

Let's set this one free into the wild and see if we can find any more keyboard enthusiasts.

Why nobody ever mentions Canon's third-party manufacturer lock out in their camera reviews?

Disclaimer: This will be a #rant!

We all know #Canon is the ONLY major #camera manufacturer that doesn't license their #mirrorless mount technology, but, to add insult to injury, #Canon is, since this summer, now also threatening legal action against third-party RF mount lens manufacturers for IP rights infringement and, as an immediate consequence, you might have noticed your favourite #photography equipment supplier had since removed all such products from their shelves. You might have also noticed that Canon is now aggressively #marketing their subscription and cloud-based image processing solutions (#IPaaS?), and otherwise locking their users into "Canon || GTFO" culture.

Well, guess what, as an #adaptarian (vintage lens adoption enthusiast), I guess that leaves me no other option but to take the only road offered and GTFO ASAP, before I spend a fortune on what other #MILC manufacturers consider worthier of supporting off the shelf and, more often than not, free of charge or at least for a reasonably small fee (with income of that directly supporting development of those features).

Canon has been, and still is, by far the slowest and most hesitant to include even the most basic modern digital camera #FTM (full-time manual) features into their cams and probably only do include some of it to appease indy filmographers and documentarists (to which they will shamelessly offer insanely niche products that cost more than your house and still not make use of their so precious IP to their full potential). And this latest "vendor lock out with a vengeance" means that I can't look forward to things like focus confirm chipped adapters, auto-focusing helicoids, ability to load lens correction data into the cam or even something as simple as writing the darn focal length (that you need to put in for your #IBIS to work correctly anyway) into your file's #EXIF data. And just forget about your camera's ability to hold a list of such vintage lenses that you might own so you could conveniently select from when changing the lens and then writing that info into EXIF. Or, better still, that it would offer that automatically when an unidentified lens is mounted. Or indeed any of that jazz that is readily available with other manufacturers, is trivial to implement should they choose to and would be much appreciated by their enthusiast community.

So, TL;DR and with Lenny Kravitz's "Are You Gonna Go My Way" playing in the background: Canon is, systematically and methodically pushing out its #enthusiast user base and killing #creativity in the process. And all those photography review sites failing to acknowledge that in their final ratings or at least mentioning it with a single line in their lengthy and "thorough" reviews either don't know what they're talking about, are being sloppy, or they're simply in on it. But hey, nice "Clash of the Titans" #vlogs!

Q.E.D.

Thanks for reading and have a nice Saturday!

Would you describe yourself as a #FOSS #enthusiast ?

So I am interested to hear from the "hobby programmer" demographic...

What have you used programming for? (in general)

A little more specifically...

What has been your most useful project?

What has been your coolest / most satisfying project? (if diff. from above)

Introduction:

#Artist and #enthusiast interested in the #political #economy of #art. I’ve engaged with the #technologies of #exhibition to work critically with #museums. #galleries, #art #schools, #archives and #auction houses.

Currently I'm #learning to live with less and experimenting with how to #consume fewer #resources. To be more #resilient.

I'm trying to be conscious of what makes life #joyful, but not at the expense of #others.

Hey #mastadon folks! Forgive me if I’m not posting correctly, it’s my #FirstTime. I’m #RobynzReality, a #VirtualReality #enthusiast and #gamer. I’ve been working within the #VRIndustry since 2016 in several capacities including as #ContentCoordinator and #MediaSpecialist. I also review #VirtualRealityContent and love sharing how enamoured I am with the emerging #tech.

I love #VivaldiBrowser I really do. But every time I open #Firefox, it feels like when I upgraded from a single core PC to a quad core one.

Feature-wise, Vivaldi is awesome. What keeps it back is #Chromium itself. It's just painful to #browse the #web, #stream videos and anything else with it. It's buggy, has rendering issues, and as a #typography #enthusiast, I have to say that Blink engine's #font rendering is super crappy.

Firefox is like when you use a 120Hz hi-DPI screen phone, but on PC.
