if facebook would like more consulting tips for mark’s video call appearances, i reckon i could compromise my morals and ethics for about one billion dollars. — PolitiTweet.org

@ironedfish i was coming from DSA and XDA sets before i got my first MT3, which are flat and low profile, so i was skeptical i’d like them. but the aggressive scoop and the deep, suction cup like dishes on each keycap make them a joy to type on. — PolitiTweet.org

@c_davies @pierce longer focal lengths also make it easier to blur out the background, though that is mostly determined by the distance from camera to subject and the aperture — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@c_davies @pierce you just have to be able to move the camera back far enough for the framing to be correct. once you go beyond 120mm you start to have the opposite problem of the face getting too compressed and flat looking. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@c_davies @pierce i was anticipating it being a joke, but i’ll answer sincerely: if you have the space and don’t need to sit really close to the camera, anything above 50mm (full frame equiv) can be flattering. 85mm is a classic portrait focal length for a reason. cont. — PolitiTweet.org

@pierce he does! his DP should try to not make it worse, ha — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@ThisIsNoahEvans probably, but a smart DP can adjust for that with the correct gear — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@pierce yah closing down the aperture will bring the background more into focus (probably undesirable) but won't unsmush his face. gotta change focal length for that https://t.co/YQyptf6Zk1 — PolitiTweet.org

@CaseyNewton I will do it just for the Casey hang opportunity — PolitiTweet.org

mark's helpers should switch his lens from a wide angle (24mm? looks like 24) to a longer lens and move him back. the wide lens is making his face look narrow and smushed vertically — PolitiTweet.org

@ironedfish those are sharp. i got MT3 Susawatari caps for this board — PolitiTweet.org

@ironedfish well it’s certainly that! — PolitiTweet.org

@ironedfish yeah, they are like pandas, but silent. a guy on reddit makes them, so uh, i guess i found them deep down the rabbit hole. — PolitiTweet.org

@ironedfish Gazzew Boba U4 62g. they arrive tomorrow, but the board i plan to put them in is still en route so i can just stare at the switches when they arrive. maybe i’ll actually spend the time to lube them while i wait. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@ironedfish i already bought the switches that were being reviewed and am just waiting for them to arrive at this point, so this was more of an “i’m impatient” kind of thing — PolitiTweet.org

@Stephen7yLore the branding didn't really, but the Lumix cameras typically had better quality lenses than the competition at the time — PolitiTweet.org

@WillHayward would have probably been better tbh — PolitiTweet.org

Kodak EasyShare cameras came with Schneider branded lenses and a printer dock they were also terrible — PolitiTweet.org

I'm old enough to remember when $150 Sony CyberShot point and shoot cameras came with Zeiss-branded lenses (it meant nothing then too) — PolitiTweet.org

watching a custom mechanical switch review on youtube and i think my dude just burped mid sentence and rolled right on through it? like, didn’t bother with a second take or anything just like “these have a rounded tactile bump *BELCH* which is different from other switches" — PolitiTweet.org

@mikejuergens @Tim_Stevens Channels has been around for quite a while. the DM feature is what just launched this week. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@mikejuergens @Tim_Stevens it does make it “go away”, as requested. admins have to disable it on the instance to fully kill it, but that applies to the whole instance and can’t be segmented among working groups (i.e. sales, engineering, marketing, etc). it’s a mess of a feature. — PolitiTweet.org

@jeeveswilliams that’s the exact problem i have with its light mode — i can’t parse anything out. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

i am the farthest thing from a Dark Mode All the Time stan (most dark modes are lousy and not helpful!) but TweetDeck’s light theme is so impossible to parse i can’t believe they ship it. there shouldn’t be a light and dark mode with this app — PolitiTweet.org
