Nah not at all tbh, you can get very smooth deceleration with it and it doesn't feel floaty or whatever, it does take a tiny adjustment to how you drive, you don't coast anymore but rather you can finely control your deceleration by how much you lift the accelerator, it's quite nice to be honest I always drive it in that mode (even if it's not real one pedal).

What do you mean especially around cinema?

I think some cars also turn on the hazards automatically if you really hammer the breaks.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 16 hours ago

Yeah my electric 208 is kinda like that (if I remember the video well, watched it a while ago) but since it's Europe there actually is a regulation about how much a car can decelerate before break lights come on, so instead of making the system turn the lights on they throttle how much it can decelerate for recharge and still makes you use the break to use full regen (and eventually the actual brakes, of course). So it's not a real "one pedal driving".

I just don't mind my glasses that much that I want to put myself through this/take the risk/pay the cost. I've had them since I was a child, I'm used to them and as far as I know, that's still what has the least side/adverse effects.

If we're thinking of the same ones they just look like full throttle/tilt forward to me!

Is that even beta flight? Never seen it configured like this, I know that's what they were using at the beginning because that was basically the only FPV software available, but maybe they have a new "military-grade" one now?

Also it's interesting to see the different flying styles, some of them are like "let me carefully position myself slowly right next to this wing, yesss just right", meanwhile their buddy just flies full speed ahead straight into it.

Mai 68! But yeah the big benefit of pavement bricks is they're right there! Just duck down and pick one up lol. Depending of course on the street construction, Paris doesn't have so many of these anymore, in the Netherlands though they're everywhere and easily picked up, they use this a lot to make the streets easy to rework, only high speed/traffic streets have concrete.

For those like me who never heard the term:

Estuary English is an English accent, continuum of accents, or continuum of accent features[4] associated with the area along the River Thames and its estuary, including London, since the late 20th century. In 2000, the phonetician John C. Wells proposed a definition of Estuary English as "Standard English spoken with the accent of the southeast of England".[5] He views Estuary English as an emerging standard accent of England, while also acknowledging that it is a social construct rather than a technically well-defined linguistic phenomenon.[5] He describes it as "intermediate" between the 20th-century higher-class non-regional standard accent, Received Pronunciation (RP), and the 20th-century lower-class local London accent, Cockney. There is much debate among linguists as to where Cockney and RP end and where Estuary English begins, or whether Estuary English is even a single cohesive accent.[5][6][7][8]

That person clearly never jumped/fell into one.

The first name "Al" has been ruined, my first thought was "they're making AI gore?".

The liability thing is definitely part of it but it ain't good news for anyone involved if that thing decides to pop out over the Pacific.

Hello fellow Lemmy investors. I need to vent/seek advice...

I'm passively invested to what is (for me) a big amount in VWCE... The beatings have been rough since trump took office and a good chunk of my profits have already been wiped out.

Due to a change in careers 2.5 years ago (starting my own business), I've not had as much income as I used to and have not been adding to the fund since then. This fund is my "do-not-touch" fund, I did have cash savings on the side, a decent chunk of which has gone into investments in my business, vehicle, etc.

I'm not wiped out yet and still in the green, and I still have a rainy-days worth amount in cash savings, but if this fuckery is gonna keep going, that won't last much longer I guess. My fund is all-world so it's supposed to rebalance if the US shits the bed (which is why I went for that rather than the traditional S&P500 indexes), but still it's getting beat pretty hard meanwhile. I'm in Europe if that matters.

I don't know what to do, my strategy would say to ignore this and stop looking at the app, but also I can't help being nervous and I really don't want to start seeing my hard-earned savings that I'm keeping for my kid/retirement go in the red...

Hey there, I'm looking at producing my first documentary and one of the tools people use for that is called Studio Binder. It's an all-in-one for making your scripts, shotlists, moodboards, location scouting, storyboards, production planning, collaborators management etc etc.

Any of you know of similar tools that are FOSS? I think some VFX/animation pipelines also have similar needs.

I already found storyboarder for making panels which seems amazing but I'm getting a bit lost in the jungle of options for the project management/scripting side of things. I'm considering Airtable for example but might be overkill for my needs.

Ideally it's something tailored for filmmaking specifically but open to hearing about general purpose planners that can be adapted.

I know that's the talk of the minute and the rest of Lemmy is bombarded with arguments about whether to defederate from threads or not.

I'm not looking to start the debates here as well but I'm just curious on our beloved admin's stance about it, are we going to allow federation with threads?

Dead feed? (sopuli.xyz)
submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hey there, so I registered to Sopuli recently and I'm still getting through the transition out of Reddit, I'll admit right now I'm enjoying the shit show too much to step away but once RiF stops working, I'm probably gonna be around here a lot more.

But right now my feed seems completely dead. I spent some time subscribing to some popular communities from different servers and I try browsing local, all and subscribed. Both hot and active serves me posts that are days, sometimes weeks old.

What can I do to get more content in my feed? I was just browsing the kbin front page (without an account) and was seeing fresher posts from Lemmy servers than I'm getting in Jerboa so it must be something wrong on my end and not just that's there's too little content.

Hello! As a newly arrived Reddit refugee I thought I would try to contribute. I might start posting individual tracks if I sense interest but for now, let's start with a broader overview.

There is a branch of hip hop very close to my heart, one that has a relaxed, elaborate ambience on boom bap beats with twists.

I won't pretend I have historian level of knowledge but you can think of it as a continuation of artists like nightmares on wax, tricky, etc but also massive attack, portishead and that kind of more melodic trip hop. Some of it mixed with traditional rapping.

This all mixes into the French melting pot and you get this back and forth between traditional hip hop with a rapper, and this abstract, melodic Trip-Hop scene. You'll also find influences from reggae, dub, punk, rock, jazz, Celtic, Arabic, oriental etc etc etc, since this is very much a world of samples, while some artists do compose everything themselves.

Now of course all these things exist outside of France but I've explored a lot, I don't even live in France and I listen to many genres, and for me at least it's in the French artists from which I tend to find "that sound" that works for me.

Now to get you started on the journey, some of the more mainstream artists to search for in your preferred streaming service. I keep it to things international people can listen to (e.g. no/limited French lyrics).

  • Chinese man (the masters, within this artist alone you can find many of the substyles I'm talking about I prefer the older albums by I hear youngsters enjoy the new stuff)

  • Degiheugi (more modern and his own unique twist, kinda tropical)

  • Chill Bump (these guys are more traditionally hip hop, the lyrics are in English, but you can still sense the influence)

  • Kognitif (this is very much the essence of what trip hop means to me)

  • Guts (here you'll find more ethnic influences, he also makes live musicians participate to his productions)

  • Scratch Bandit Crew (not a fan of the whole discography but the good tracks are really, really good)

  • Mounika (and finally, one of my all time favourites in his decidedly more chill and dark vibe, bordering on lo-fi at times).

There are so many more great artists and if you did want to try one with French lyrics, then in the more traditionally hip hop category but embodying this branch, I suggest starting with "Dooz Kawa".

I hope that I might make a few people curious with this and maybe even create a new passion or two for my beloved flavour of trip/hip hop.

Share your own regional artists that you think upstage the usual international stars in their own way!
