Note that any article that mentions Organized Retail Crime is pretty much a BS number. That is a pretty much made up number according to economists that.look at such things.

Oh wow Matthias and Ann :) that was such a great surprise! Very positive video to see these people doing something to protect these seals.

I have a "technical" question @Dima . Here videos.trom.tf/w/8cqikT49xCZXR… did you put the sounds of that seal separately? When it was breathing? I've seen in many documentaries that they do the sound afterwards, even these little bits, and I think it makes it all more of a close-up experience. Because usually they film from afar and you cannot get a good sound of these creatures. And I love that effect of feeling the closeness of whatever nature they present. It makes it all so much better.

Anyway, I am very happy to see you continuing this work!


Never come close to the seals https://videos.trom.tf/w/8cqikT49xCZXRVSWEQY1BY

Another important video by @Dima . Support him if you can. His work is really inspiring and positive.

Thank you Tio!
Yeah, I was staying at Matthias places for a few days while I was in Belgium. And he also invited Ann to join us when we went for the seals :)

So it's very weird, But I was surprised by this sound. The fact that it was so audible, although I was quite far away. No it's real sound :) Imagine that! I just lower a little bit background noise and raise a little-bit his sneezing snoring :) But even without a tweaks it was audible quite well. I have a small shotgun mic on my camera, and it works very good, but it turned out also for a long distance. I really was surprised by that, normally you wouldn't hear that without very long shotgun mic. And I was quite far away :)

But quite often in such videos it will be different sound which is put on top, because it's quite hard to record a video of a wildlife and also record proper sound of it. Especially in a distance.

Ahh ok. Interesting, that for sure must've been loud. Because I thought you added that effect after since you were quite far away from what I could see in the video.

Great job as usual!

Our Friendica instance got updated to the latest stable and all of our custom themes were updated and we added 2 more: Brown and Grey.


Go to Settings - Display to test them out.

They will be shared with the Friendica's developers if they want to include them in the default Friendica's themes or get some ideas about future changes.

Big thanks to these people who create Friendica for being so awesome and for keeping Friendica so useful and feature-rich!

Un très bon texte presages.kessel.media/posts/ps… d'une camarade sur un sujet pas évident, comment ne pas penser à ce non moins très bon dessin de Thibaut Soulcié ?
