Any reason for the anamorphic lens? Is that to get a 16:9 image?

Check. From the video I understood smaller RPi screen was landscape orientation, which surprised me since your find with the other screen. I expected those lenses to be quite similar, but then electronics in lens adapter make sense. Before you know it you could find yourself designing your own bayonet mount, unless 4 screws is flexible enough.

Nice progress! I looked into hackability of the MFT protocol in the past. You probably already know of it, but there has been some reverse-engineering of the protocol https://marcuswolschon.blogspot.com/2013/12/reverse-engineering-micro-four-thirds.html So the RPi 5" screen is landscape-oriented? Regarding the electronic C-mount, if there isn't already a standard connection, perhaps a power+serial connector cable could do as a generic hackable interface, meaning a dangling cable and motor drivers in the lens body.

Do you care about #OpenStandards or #Standards in general? The EU 🇪🇺 has a #consultation until the 17th of December on the revision of standardisation regulation. This is your chance to influence the policy for years to come. 📝 https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/14511-Standardisation-Regulation-revision/public-consultation_en I already shared my key issues with current industry standards in a presentation at #LFEnergy Summit https://lfenergysummiteu2025.sched.com/event/26J0P #OpenSource

thanks for providing more context to the fonts and increasing discoverability. I already looked at the fonts for #AdaZangemann translations, which need handdrawn letters for headings in different scripts. https://git.fsfe.org/FSFE/ada-zangemann/issues/156#issuecomment-40935 I'd wish for an even greater script coverage. Any suggestions are welcome!

Nice ad put out by #TheOnion satirical newspaper, highlighting the issue of software as a service and software subscriptions. In case of #Adobe the livelihood of most creative professionals and artists depends on the monthly subscription. Sure software development has to be payed for, but users lack control on the price or features. The popularity of general purpose AI is set to introduce a similar 'license to operate' on broader society. Support #FreeSoftware for a way out software dependence.

I'm impressed by the save dialog of GIMP (npub1jxd…txs3) as it shows the minimum version others will need to view the file and even shows which features caused it and how they affect backwards compatibility. This makes it actionable to make my file compatible for users not yet on the great 3.0 release. #GIMP

Trump is pas twee weken president en heeft al veel kapotgemaakt. Meer en meer mensen in mijn omgeving wachten niet af, maar nemen stappen om los te komen van Amerikaanse bedrijven. #BoycottUSA is echt aan de gang.

AI models can be misused by changing context of use. Regulation is currently in this area. A clinical model to detect depression from voice is misused to screen job applicants. The AI model is used against the group that participated in the research.

Sound like a delaying tactic. The EDPS worked with the Commission in the investigation to be as precise as possible on the minimal changes needed. They had 9 months to get into compliance after publication.

Tomorrow is 9th of December, the date of deadline set by the European Data Protection Supervisor by which time the European Commission must have stopped data transfer to the US, including the illegal data collection by Microsoft. I haven't seen any updates on this if the Commission appealed or complied. Does anyone has more details? https://www.edps.europa.eu/press-publications/press-news/press-releases/2024/european-commissions-use-microsoft-365-infringes-data-protection-law-eu-institutions-and-bodies_en #Privacy #EDPS #SafeHarbor #EU

Duidelijk tijd voor meer digitale autonomie. Doordat Nederlandse bedrijven en overheid sterk afhankelijk zijn van Amerikaanse dienstverleners heeft de nieuwe president ook veel invloed op het functioneren van Nederland.

Omzeilen is mogelijk, maar onaantrekkelijk als het strafbaar wordt gesteld. Telegram verbod in Brazilië ging ook gepaard met een absurbd hoge boete op VPN-gebruik. Plus er is al een netwerkeffect dat het lastig maakt bijv. WhatsApp te mijden. Genoeg manieren om te zorgen dat iedereen deelneemt in deze massa-surveillance. Ben bang dat men heel goed weet wat ze aan het doen zijn.

In response to episode 164, I can recommend Hetzner Storage Share as a managed Nextcloud at a low price https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/ Some remarks: 1) encryption at rest is disabled by default, see FAQ, 2) you can't enable some backend services, like video thumbnailer, 3) I heard they don't contribute back to Nextcloud development.
