So my fear of sharks has gotten better, and I don’t quite understand why.

Curious 🏳️‍⚧️

But anyhow, you’ve probably found me because you’ve seen one of my totally inconspicuous comments

I’m open to chat about these and other related things over on Matrix

    Maybe being trans will finally help me with my fear of sharks

    Do you need a model for anything? :P

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Someone to pose for you? :P

    miss_brainfarts ,

    I use Adwaita cursors on Windows, so

    miss_brainfarts ,

    I have to disagree, I did not turn into a femboy

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Oh, I do. But I turned out trans, so there's that

    miss_brainfarts ,

    No no, I went straight to being a girl

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Though to be honest, I was steered towards the femboy track, but then came the realization

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Boobs. Like... boobs

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Chill, I'm working on it

    miss_brainfarts ,

    They release dopamine alright, but that doesn't mean I instantly know how to make use of them for the things I should be doing

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Depends on if I'm around or not

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Oh no, you don't shush me. If anything, it's the other way around

    miss_brainfarts ,

    I'd genuinely like to see you try, kitten

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Well, if you want to beg for anything else, that would be the time. Won't be able to understand a word otherwise, and then I'll just do whatever comes to mind.

    Ah, who am I kidding, I'll do that anyway🤭

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Yeahh, that's a good point.

    Amazon being Amazon again, huh? Though I can't actually comment on that, I haven't used Amazon in years, and I don't miss it.

    (If you ever feel like being horny in private, I am on Matrix🤭)

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Ah, Amazon. Never change. Wait no, scratch that, please change, ffs.

    @miss_brainfart:catgirl.cloud

    If I were to guess, I'd say you are on catgirl cloud, too🤭

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Seeing other people happy makes me happy.
    Making other people happy gives me life.

    And I've managed to make huuuge progress concerning certain blahaj-related things, and that is just... can't even put it into words, really

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Do we actually know the place? I'm guessing Kazakhstan or somewhere around there

    miss_brainfarts , (edited )

    From my experince, an odt made in Libreoffice is what works best in both it and Word. But that's just how it's been for me, so who knows what weird things happen to other people when going back and forth between them.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    I'll say it again:

    Glutes are what it means to be human

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Oh, now that sounds like something I might like

    I don't have the fastest RAM out there, so whenever I upgrade from my 1600, I want an X3D variant to help with that

    miss_brainfarts , (edited )

    I think I'm gonna get one of the higher end models, since it'll be the last possible upgrade I can do on my motherboard.

    So 5700X3D or 5800X3D, depending on what the prices look like whenever I'm gonna be in the market for them. And then I'll be set for a looong while. Well, an appropriately fast GPU would be nice to go along with it, but you know.

    But it's pretty cool that they made a 5600 variant too. Might as well use the chips they evidently still have left over

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Cute kittens infodumping are the most adorable thing in the world🥰

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Do you have a few hours to talk about using reverse-mounted vintage prime lenses for macro photography?

    miss_brainfarts ,

    So basically, a lens captures a large area of light and projects it onto a small sensor.
    When you turn the lens around, it captures a very small area the size of the sensor it's supposed to be used with, and projects an image into the camera that is way too large, resulting in what you see being a severe crop.

    Which means, the shorter the focal lenght (and the further away the lens is from the camera, for example using bellows), the more „magnification“ you get out of this crop.

    Now, this means three things:

    1. You lose a fuck-ton of light, and since you're required to close the aperture by a lot to get any kind of usable depth of field in such a configuration, you will sometimes not be able to see what the hell you're even doing, because it's so dark.
      This is manageable with a 50mm lens, but obviously gets worse the more you crop.

    2. Since you're using old manual lenses, have fun with capturing a busy insect with all the right settings before it buggers off. Using continuous shooting and a flash that can keep up with it is invaluable.

    3. And lastly, you can't even use the focus ring anymore if you mount a lens backwards. Your focus distance is now fixed, and equivalent to the flange focal lenght the lens was built for.
      This means your only way of getting the subject in focus is to move the whole camera back and forth, which gets increasingly difficult the higher your magnification, since the depth of field is so incredibly thin, even more so if you keep the lens wide open to see what you're even doing.

    But it's fun, and so much cheaper than dedicated macro lenses :D

    miss_brainfarts ,

    You could just get a reverse-ring to mount one of your existing lenses backwards, but I want to steer you into the rabbithole of vintage lenses anyway

    Ebay has loads of all kinds of them, and many are in no way behind modern lenses in terms of image quality, while being super affordable.

    But then there's also lenses people specifically seek out because they aren't perfect, and exhibit visual quirks that make them interesting for creative work.

    The soviet Helios 44-2 for example has some strong spherical abberations going on, producing what most people call a „swirly bokeh“.
    This lens has been used in some scenes of The Batman, and they even modified their expensive anamorphic cinema lenses to look more like the Helios.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Another one I like a lot is my Pentacon auto 50mm 1.8 multi coating. If you can find one in good condition, this is a great looking lens you should be able to get below 50 bucks. At least that's the kind of price I remember last time I checked.

    And it uses (like the Helios) the m42 screw mount instead of a proprietary bayonet. So that's a big plus for fans of open standards, even if it's absolutely irrelevant today, since you'll need adapters anyway.

    But my favourite might be the Minolta Rokkor 50mm 1.4, that is just a nice lens. There's also a 1.2 variant, but it's harder to find and more expensive.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Do it :D

    lies, deception

    miss_brainfarts ,

    What's wrong with all my trans sisters??

    miss_brainfarts ,

    It's fantastic, isn't it? I can't stand seeing those dumbass thumbnail faces anymore. So sad that creators are kinds required to do certains things for their video to perform well

    miss_brainfarts ,

    they can execute their intended tasks without incident

    Now if only the Deutsche Bahn could do that too

    Whatever I say, hm? Well well, I'd love to see that

    miss_brainfarts ,

    So eager already, hm?

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Even if it includes rope and a feather?

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Do I even have to say more? How about you tell me why you're interested, hm? Go on, let me know what you like about it

    miss_brainfarts ,

    So tell me, how much do you like not being able to move while a strong, tall woman teases you up and down your whole body, just ever so slightly missing the best spots to make you crazy?

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Oh, you'd be exclusively on the receiving end if I have anything to say about that

    miss_brainfarts ,

    That's what I like to hear😘

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Well, i also think it's unfair how I don't have access to all of these sub... lovely people in real life 🥰

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Actually, I shouldn't say anything, I'm not leaving the house often enough to complain about that.

    But I believe that will change once I transition further and feel more comfortable with myself

    miss_brainfarts ,

    There's a project by Diolinux called PhotoGimp, which aims to make Gimp look like Photoshop. It also changes all the keybinds to match those of PS.

    miss_brainfarts , (edited )

    Affinity is hella cheap, all things considered. And once you authenticate your installed software, you never have to be online again to use it.

    It's so nice, I'm definitely gonna buy it some day, unless GIMP and Scribus somehow manage to impress me until then. Inkscape is already great, but those two...

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Oh wow, I never noticed, and it's not even been two years since I've started using it. Whoops.

    Well then, I'm gonna go try and figure out how to run Affinity in Wine.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    I'd be fine as long as it runs in Wine, honestly

    Okay but genuinely, what games are there? I know of Celeste, and... huh, that's the extent of my knowledge. I need more canonically trans video games for my gay little transbian heart

    Edith:
    Well, thank you all, you lovely little gamers, you^^

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Portmaster is great, but a network-wide solution like pihole that covers other devices too is invaluable imo
