I just found my 3DS XL a few days ago. Are there custom softwares to install on it?

You have plenty of good information regarding gaming already so as far as Adobe Lightroom goes, try Darktable. It's a FOSS alternative and very nice software

My brother-in-law got a Switch for his kid. They tried to play the "free" classic emulated games but then it stopped him and said he had to create some online account which costs money. That's some scummy tactics to get you to pay a subscription for a "free" game

Imgur provides an error saying it's over capacity. I'll check back later, I'm really interested to see your photo. How long were each of your exposures?

Good advice, I'll definitely keep a notepad in my bag.

Alright, I'll keep my histogram as close to maxing the bright side without clipping.

On average, how many gigs of storage do you use to complete one photo? Also what's the size of the final image?

Sherpa is by far the best. I personally find GB southern English female medium very natural sounding

I'll start my journey with Messier then. Sounds like a great place to focus on. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

I appreciate all the tips. I'll definitely pay more attention to those key words (angular size and magnitute) when I come across them. I am in the northern hemisphere

We'll have to see if the general consumer is willing to pay full price. It seems likely as people generally just go along with things. If so then Nintendo will definitely keep prices high

These are great, I hadn't given much thought to the atmospheric conditions besides the obvious clouds. I found my city's astronomy club that I plan to go and meet with the next time the weather permits a star party.

Can a 300mm lens get images like all the common nebulae photos (I have a full frame so it's 300mm even)? I know some are further away but I'm sure you understand the idea I'm going for. I'm less interested in planets and I believe those require crazy long focal lengths.

Thanks! I didn't know about the rule of 500

Wanting to get into the Hobby (lemmy.today)
 

Hey everyone, I've been a long time photographer on a hiatus. Ever since learning about the existence of EQ mounts I have been excited to get back into photography and try the astro side of it.

I have a 300mm f/2.8 lens for my DSLR and am wondering if that focal length is any good. Thanks!

If the price never drops and a "must have exclusive" arrives you would purchase one? Why would you let that change your principle on the matter? It's just a game, probably overly priced too. Vote with your money. Let Nintendo know that it is too expensive for the average family.

I don't use Discord much anymore and haven't used this program but this looks like a nice 3rd party Discord flatpak. It supports screensharing on Wayland. Just thought I'd share with the community

I just noticed today that Signal (not talking Molly) is now available on F-Droid via the "Guardian" repository.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

Looking for a Modern Retro Case (lemmy.today)
 

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a modern designed case (preferably SFF) that has retro asthetics. Examples would be the SilverStone FLP01 and Ayaneo's Retro Mini PCs.

Reviewers without Conflict of Interest? (lemmy.today)

Are there any reviewers on YouTube/Rumble/etc. or independent blogs that don't post affiliate links, aren't sponsored by the printer company, or had one sent out by the company? Those to me all seem like a conflict of interest.

Yes people need to make money, I'm not blind to that, but they can advertise other things that aren't a direct conflict of interest.

I'm looking to get my first printer and would like to get info from an unbiased source. I just don't know enough to weed through the million 3D printer channels.

The Sovol SV06 Ace seems nice with little research as it is large enough to print the project I have in mind and uses open source firmware (Klipper) which is a must for me.

Axle Pattern Name? (lemmy.today)
 

I'm just getting back into Legos and recieved the 10317 Defender kit for the holidays. I would rather it have white wheels (I don't mind painting) and found that there was a past model wheel that came in white. The only difference is the axle style. Instead of the cross pattern it looks more like a half cross. What is this pattern called? Is it compatible with the cross pattern? It looks like it could be.

Umbrella (lemmy.today)
 

Anyone else getting Umbrella "No stream available" errors?

I had watched stuff, shutdown, next day tried watching the same thing again as well as other shows/movies and got the error. No changes to the program or service. Now the majority of shows and movies give the error

Help with Game Saves vs States (lemmy.today)
 

I have the Miyoo Mini+. I originally used MinUI and it saved games like a normal GBA and loaded the game to the menu everytime I started it, again like a standard GBA worked. I switched to OnionOS to have a nicer interface with boxart and now it only uses save states and auto starts from said state when opening a game. Not an authentic experience.

I have learned there's a difference between game saves and save states but don't know how to switch my handheld to use only game saves. Is it based on the core used maybe? Can anyone help me out?

Next Step of the Social Credit System (www.engadget.com)
 

If someone reports you for doing anything against their ToS on other websites then it will hold consequences.

This is another reason why privacy matters. Have different user names on different platforms so you can't be linked. I don't condone treating other people poorly however this leads to more control, especially with how crazy ToS/EULAs are and how they are ever changing.

Great Comic Based Games (lemmy.today)
 

I'm seeing family over the holidays and they really enjoy comic book stuff and video games. I don't know much about comics and am looking for suggestions on classic comic book based games I can load on my RPi and bring over to play. All I'm aware of are some of the Marvel vs Capcom fighting games but maybe there are others. Any ideas?

Create File in rpm-ostree Read Only (lemmy.today)
 

I'm trying to get a Garmin Ant+ USB dongle working within Fedora Kinoite to work with Golden Cheetah and my cycle trainer.

The Golden Cheetah wiki only has instructions for getting this to work within Ubuntu which I got working on Mint previously. I'm trying to convert over to Kinoite and this is critical.

The wiki says to create a new udev rule. Following the instructions it says to place it in /etc/udev/rules.d which also exists in Kinoite, the problem being it's a read only folder and sudo still doesn't allow me to place a file. How do I override the atomic structure to create a file there? I believe it requires using the rpm-ostree command but I'm unfamiliar.
