moresci.sale/@birds/1131473539… birds@moresci.sale - Mountain Bamboo-Partridge

An intricately patterned partridge of various scrubby habitats; not restricted to bamboo thickets. Body is brown with black spots and gray streaks all over. Face is paler with a thick black line through the eye. Usually seen singly or in pairs. Often forages under cover but will venture out into the open; less tied to extensively thick cover than many small partridges. Song is a loud clattering series of high squealing notes, often initiated by a hoarse, throaty shriek.

Captured with the Rodenstock 138mm/6.5 HR Digaron-SW lens (@ f/8), Phase One IQ4-150 back (@ ISO 50, 1/30 sec), vertically shifted 15mm.

The glass curtain and reflection reminded me of Saul Bass's iconic title sequence for North By Northwest (imitated in Mad Men), though this is across town. The film also used a somewhat different perspective, looking downward, and at a sharper angle. Here, our focus is on the impressionistically rendered Times Square skyline rather than the street below.

The Rodenstock 138mm/6.5 is unusual for a larger-format lens in that it has a floating internal element that has to move as it's focused. This means it has to be focused with a helical ring (like an SLR lens) that moves both the focus and the internal element, rather than simply by moving it back and forth with a bellows. This makes the lens big, heavy, and cumbersome (not to mention spendy), but it's an extremely sharp design.

Den norska politikern, stortingsledamoten och partiledaren för Sosialistisk venstreparti 1975–1976, har avlidit 96 år gammal. Inte minst hennes arbete kring manliga härskartekniker har blivit legendariskt. arbetaren.se/2024/09/16/hon-sm…

Sadly, none of the two will happen, because those guys are already too well entrenched in politics.

🤡 Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure 'citizens will be on their best behavior'. Oh, this is like 1984, but it gets worse for all of us and even nobel goals for billionaire psychopaths.

is this him regurgitating is total control plan from the aughts?

As I recall, he wanted to run a database with information on every person in the US for the government and use it to control their lives ( probably termed as determining access to things like services, travel, and employment )



Le Premier ministre britannique Keir Starmer, fait scandale dans son parti (les travaillistes) en estimant l’Italie de la néo-fasciste Meloni a fait des "progrès remarquables" dans la lutte contre l’immigration clandestine. La gauche d'Outre-Manche devrait nous contacter, on a une certaine expérience en matière de trahison à gauche... Starmer soutient aussi Netanyahou contre la CPI. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/s…

Wow, we're still not over @fediforum

It's truly amazing to bring some of the most exciting developments on the Fediverse together for a few days and see what everyone is up to. No other network has such a vibrant, committed, and supportive community.

If you attended (or even if you didn't) and you want to know a little more about what we're doing and about Patchwork - please get in touch!

Via Kyle Griffin:

The first graders who survived the school shooting at #SandyHook are now old enough to vote in their first presidential election.

Many are supporting Vice President #Harris.

"It's no-brainer for me," says survivor Lilly Wasilnak, 18.

"I'm casting a vote for the 26 who can't."

MANY?
This means some aren't.

Yes he signed up every Twitter user as following him, because, you know, he is important and no one else is.

Shout out to AccessNow folks and @Xeniax who helped to convince Meta to unblock #deltachat invite URLs in Facebook. Previously delta invite-links on Facebook were marked as "dangerous" and didn't work.

sidenote: if you send someone an invite-link, they can click it directly after they installed Delta Chat because they will be guided through the "create-profile" flow automatically and then be dropped into a chat with the inviter.

Delta Chat (39c3)
@jonah the invite-links are decentralized: no web-request is done typically/when mobile DC apps are registered to directly get the request on the same device where the link is clicked. If you don't have DC installed, then you would indeed visit the web page which however doesn't see who you want to connect to.
as to chatmail servers, there are several public ones at delta.chat/chatmail and a number of private/non-public ones -- for each invite links work just fine as described.



Seems like Elon Musk is learning what's appropriate to post online. Which is good. Shortly after the FBI arrested a man suspected of trying to shoot Donald Trump, Musk was inspired to post on X, “And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/ Kamala 🤔,” before deleting it. The billionaire with a security clearance later wrote: “Well, one lesson I’ve learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be all that hilarious as a post.” @Gizmodo has more. #X #ElonMusk #Assassination #Trump #Tech #Technology gizmodo.com/elon-musk-deletes-…

It's hilarious that up until this point he hasn't already learned that lesson. I guess a little visit from the Secret Service is what it takes to get through to him?

Arrest and jail would be imminent for any non political connected billionaire
