Outstanding visual is pretty packed this year, but I wish Nine Sols wins it. It's not even underrated, just feels like it wasn't talked much about outside of Hollow Knight enjoyers, maybe due to it launching on PC only (console version came out only recently), or perhaps due to the studio's turbulent past. More people should really give it a go.

From my understanding, they do have contractors bid for projects. Though, fair and transparent or not is another issue.
death penalty to greedy leaders of companies
~~With the notable exception of people in power.~~ (Edit: They do get executed) Corruption is real bad there, there are plenty examples of people in gov positions being filthy rich and have kids who show off their erroneous spending on Douyin.
Why not? It doesn't really matter who steals from who in the AI race, it's about who gets to the top first to dominate the market. So of course China would want that, as do every AI company around the world.
FYI, China although communist in name, actually functions mostly on capitalist economy, but party authority always comes first.
Happy to help!
Cause physics. F-number is calculated by (focus length / diameter of entrance pupil). Say you want a 400mm focal length with max f2.8, your front element diameter would need to be 400/2.8 = 143mm. Looking at the Canon EF 200mm F2.8, which has a filter diameter of 72mm, 200/2.8 = 72. Math checks out.
(Edit: Front element diameter is not actually equal to entrance pupil diameter, but here let's just say it is. You can look up the physics if you're interested.)
Have you actually looked up the lenses yourself? Canon EF 400mm f2.8 lens exist, but you're looking at 10x your budget brand new, and really huge sizes. And if you want zoom on top of that? Just search the Sigma 200-500mm f/2.8, aka the "Bigma". I'd say you're better off using f4 lenses or whatever is within your budget, and try to work within the limits.
TLDR: If you want telephoto with super wide aperture, the lens would need to be massive, and expensive.
I'm going against the grain and say that pretty much any modern camera can fill your needs, small or big. You say you don't mind packing larger gear, but for travel specifically, you will feel every extra weight.
First, going with modern mirorrless cameras instead of DSLRs will save a huge chunk of volume and weight out of the gate. Though you would be paying a bit extra for modern stuff.
Second, if you're mostly going to shoot in daylight, going with smaller sensor sizes (APS-C or M43 instead of Full Frame) also cuts down weight for the camera body and lenses. If you're really worried about low light photos, then go Full Frame (but I'd say APS-C sensors are still mostly fine).
There is no right way of learning all the ins and outs of photography settings (ISO, shutter speed, F-stop). Digital cameras already make taking photos so much easier, you can learn all those stuff at your own pace. I'd say stop worrying and just go out and shoot. Get a camera that at least has a PASM dial. If you're not sure about what settings for what scenario, put it to Auto/P-mode. Then, you can try out A-mode and S-mode when you need it. Look up stuff when you don't understand a thing, or want to replicate a certain feel. Take more photos, and learn composition along the way. Sometimes composition is more important to a good photo than the right settings.
Hope this helps!
Persona 5 is a JRPG where you role play as a high school student, who was transferred to a high school far from home in Tokyo due to being expelled...
Blocking + Algorithms feeding things similar to your taste is already forming an echo chamber. Bluesky with it's community driven block lists and starter packs makes this much easier too.
It can be a good thing or bad. Just depends on what you want out of the platform.
For sure. I struggled so much in the Colosseum I did not finish the last stage (Aspids can go fuck themselves), and didn't even bother with the Pantheon. Wasn't story required anyway so I'm fine with it.

Sequential/sweeping turn signals on cars should fully turn on then dim down, not the other way around.

I've been using the 6a since the start of this year, and alongside it Accubattery to remind me to unplug my phone whenever it reaches 85% charge.
I know Accubattery stats are just an approximation, and I've only been using this phone for half a year, but still quite amusing to see the battery health go up instead of dropping.

[Bug] When you set profile default sort to TopDay and switch accounts and back, this happens
(sh.itjust.works)
I was so confused when I was seeing posts 4 years old. "Old" isn't even supposed to be an option lol.
Tested with other options, seems like TopWeek becomes TopDay, TopMonth becomes TopWeek, TopYear becomes TopMonth, TopAllTime becomes TopYear, and Most comments become TopAllYear. Active, Hot, and New are unaffected.
So for now, you can enjoy seeing the creation of the Fediverse and read posts in reverse with this hidden option.

I stand corrected.
