  • Its just how photography copyright law works. The person who presses the button owns the photo. I was a wedding photog or a while. I wouldn’t stop the couples sharing my photos on social media, but they wouldn’t be allowed to sell the photos for use in marketing or anything. Nit that ot ever came up.

    If a couple asked me not to use their photos for advertising then I would have taken them down, not because I was legally obliged to, but because I’m not a horrible person.

    When I was getting started I charged less, because I didn’t have examples of my work at weddings. But I made it very clear to the couple that I would be using the photos for advertising o get my business off the ground, so they knew their pics would be all over my website, etc.








  • I’ve made a few text/discussion based posts on a dnd community and got good engagement. People are wrong if you give them a chance.

    Be the change you want to see. It’s never more true than at the beginning of something like we are now. I’ve only been here a month or two and I ashtray feel like I’ve seen Lemmy evolve over that time. It’s cool!


  • Space Engine. It’s not quite a game, but rather an accurate simulation of the known universe. Anything beyond what we know is procedurally generated. The first time I played it it made me feel so small.

    I started at Earth and flew around the solar system, then picked a star and flew towards it. You have to increase your speed by multiples of the speed if light to get them to move. The stars started moving and then moving past, me, but the star I chose wasn’t moving. I realised it was actually different galaxy, so increased my speed by many many multiples of the speed of light until eventually it dwarves to move. I flee over to it, and then slowed and explored a few star systems there, I found a binary star system, that was really cool.

    Then I had a realisation. If I didn’t use the search function, and I just flew around trying to find my way back to Earth, I just never would. I could play it for the rest of my life and be certain that I wouldn’t find it. The odds are that small. That thought scared the shit our of me and I closed the game and couldn’t okay it again for a few days.

    Don’t know if that’s what you’re looking for but I do recommend the experience!
