Anyone got the DOI? I promise I won’t build a small swarm of wheeled mushrooms.

Love the light on that shot! I hope you’ll keep going with the hobby!

Here are a few things:

• “Kit lens” such as this 18-55 of yours are typically not that great. It really depends what you plan to shoot, but going with a prime lens (50mm f/1.8), if you can afford it, or something vintage (Helios) can be a great experience; also for “forcing” you to shoot manual, as other advised.
• Great to see you are on Linux! I have no idea about the webcam stuff. I also didn’t had luck trying to use a Sony camera myself, but I’m guessing if the proprietary software doesn’t work, the only option is to get a capture card for your PC.
• For editing, I strongly recommend Darktable, also as advised before!
• Shooting manual is rewarding; shooting “blind” (idk if there is a specific word for that), where you estimate the exposure “by hand” is a lot of fun imo, and very forgivable on digital camera! If you can, give a shot at the “Sunny 16 rule” technique. To me, it makes shooting outside very relaxing since I don’t have to care about the camera settings that much once it’s figured out.

Have fun, but beware! It’s a deep, deep rabbit hole.

Not enough Pepper

Push me to the edge

He got some heat in 2019 after an untastful statement he made regarding the Epstein case. A massive backlash happend, followed by him leaving many of his positions, esp. at MIT and at the FSF. Eventually he made some public excuses and got re-integrated to the FSF board, to the displeasure of some.
