Advice Wanted - Zoom lens questions

I’ve never been much of a zoom user but have been considering a “one lens” option. I’ve thought about the Sigma 18-50 f2.8. The range is pretty good, but I really don’t like the idea of giving up the aperture ring. The other day I was thinking that, for me, a zoom of about 20-80 would be about...

actually #duckduckfedi/#askfedi: are there any good editors/IDEs that aren't like really AI focused?

(I have a feeling someone's going to say something like neovim: I'm talking about... "GUI" editors I guess? stuff like VSCode.

VSCodium seems intriguing but afaik it doesn't support the extension marketplace??? so I'm not sure about it.

or for that matter, can you just easily disable all the AI stuff in Zed??? because I wouldn't mind trying it if so... but the marketing is so AI focused so I'm skeptical)

Advice Wanted - Suggestions on where to go next

Hey all, photography noob here. I've recently caught a pretty good bug for the craft a few months ago after acquiring a sony NEX-5. After some research and finding about the wealth of lenses in the E-mount family (Not to mention the adapter market!) and the amount of cameras that are cross...

Looking for feedback on my edit. Trying to maintain realism but more dramatic photos.

Alright @NotAHopeInHades, what do you think? Still no dodge and burn, dehaze still positive (can't quit it!) but tried more intentional lighting. Anything else you may have done different with this one?

Hey everyone :) I just bought a Fotodiox "Fusion Smart AF Adapter" (Sony E to Nikon Z) and have a question for anyone who has experience with "smart adapters": Using a Sony FE Voigtlander lens via "smart" adapter on Nikon, I was expecting for aperture info to be passed through to the camera -...

typically, I am out of my depth on my next knitting project:

https://www.garnstudio.com/pattern.php?id=5522&cid=17 is the pattern i would like to make - I would also accept being directed to something similar (kind of a shrug with armholes type thing) that will also use my 250 g (530 yds) of bulky yarn.

I am not sure how to read this pattern. I also don't have double pointed needles, and would like to hop straight into circular.

any tips for what they mean by "the pattern"? tips for the armholes?

"K 2 sts in every st" - is that knit 1 front and knit one back, or sorta knit 2 front? or something else?

hi! I am having a great time. this next yarn is so soft, this will be fun.

Advice Wanted - Nikkor D Lenses - This or that?

So to complete the setup with my newly acquired F4, I’d like a normal zoom, in the period appropriate D series. I already have a 70-210 f/4 D, and have ordered a 50mm f/1.4D. Which normal zoom should I get to accompany and complete the 3 lens setup? Looking for first hand experience with...

Wondering if anyone can recommend a (free) way to follow Instagram feeds in an RSS reader? I searched online for a way to convert an Instagram user's feed to an RSS feed but it appears it's “complicated”…

I self-host #FreshRSS and would like to be able to follow some music-related Instagram feeds which post about local gigs etc. I ditched my Instagram account a few years ago and won't ever go back, but it would be great to be able to see announcements of gigs and that sort of thing, from people who don't use anything to get the word out apart from the dreaded Instagram…

Thanks in advance!

I'd like to make my pixel art site more mobile-responsive. A lot (if not all) the doll/art pages end up with content off to the right, so the viewer has to scroll side-to-side to see everything.

Right now, my art, blurbs, and base credits are in HTML tables. Is there any way to make it so that if it's being viewed in a narrow browser window, the table cells will stack?

I'm also open to suggestions of other ways to display my art that don't involve tables. I'm just a very old-school coder, so HTML and a bit of CSS is all I know. 😅 I'm just not sure what's possible right now!
