Jos Suomessa esiintyisi enemmän mediakritiikkiä, jutun voisi tehdä vaikkapa siitä, miksi Hesari ja Yle ovat omaksuneet kirjoituksessa https://politiikasta.fi/aarioikeisto-ja-sen-maaritelmat/ esitetyn viimeaikaisen meemin, että ”far right” olisi suomeksi ”laitaoikeisto” ja ”äärioikeisto” olisikin ”extreme right”, jota englanninkielistä mediaa lukeva suomalainen harvemmin näkee.

Wikipedia on aika hyvä sanavastaavuuksien hahmottamiseen ja siellä ”far-right politics”, ”äärioikeisto” ja ”extrême droite” on linkitetty yhteen.

Äärioikeisto ja sen määritelmät – Politiikasta

Ajatus politiikan äärilaidoista on peräisin jo Ranskan vallankumouksen ajoilta. Arvojen lisäksi kielen vivahteet vaikuttavat siihen miten ääriliikkeistä puhutaan. Määrittelyt elävät ajassa eivätkä ole täysin pysyviä.

Politiikasta

How can the storage configuration of iPhone 16 Pro have this large an impact on kg CO₂e figures? Surely the kg CO₂e contribution of the variable component is tiny in comparison to everything else that goes into a phone? The transport contributes 3% for the base model. Can the logistics for non-base configurations be this inefficient?

Or do the ISO standards turn dollars into kg CO₂e, so that the margins that Apple makes on the upgrades show up in kg CO₂e?

Very messed up that it likely isn’t incorrect to include Elon Musk on this list.

And that being the case, it’s very messed up that non-AfD European politicians keep posting on the platform where Musk gets to decide what to boost and what to suppress from view.

TIL about Adobe Express, an app for social media content creation. So this is where influencing thought graphics come from. Here’s an actual template with unedited placeholder text.
TIL: If you set Studio Display brightness to about two thirds with the default preset (the reference modes don’t do this), Lightroom Classic gives you one stop of HDR headroom for rendering. Setting the brightness lower than this won’t add more HDR headroom. Setting the brighthness higher gradually reduces the headroom until the headroom vanishes altogether.

This picture from https://www.flatpanelshd.com/focus.php?subaction=showfull&id=1706864032 illustrates well how weird it is that movies are still made at 24 fps. It’s even weirder that connoisseurs say this is good, actually, while also saying that more is better for various other dimensions (including audio specs; advocating hifi for audio and lofi for fps can go together).

https://www.flatpanelshd.com/focus.php?subaction=showfull&id=1586323514 has some good questions about the anti-HFR sentiment.

It is common i18n advice to say you shouldn’t use flags in the UI, but here’s a failure mode that people giving the advice probably aren’t even thinking about.
Remember the good old days when _the_ “portable” Apple device came with a case?
Not the pitchbot.
From the dept of Microsoft laying off QA: Windows 11 Start menu in its default configuration when device pixel ratio is 2.
