The papers (and magazines) mainly printed in B&W. This is, as far as I know, a professional shoot as it was done with a higher resolution than many pics from then.
The colour photos my family took from this time need to be severely colour adjusted to not look as depressing milque/grey/beige colours when we scan them.
I think you have to adjust your idea of what it was like. These are magazines from the 80s, some of the cheapest printing there is. mentalfloss.com/…/11-delightfully-dated-80s-magaz… B&W was for artsy pics or cheap books only. I have pics from the 80s that look like they were taken yesterday. I was very young, but color was the norm.
He did weddings and stuff like that but we all had cameras, my friends too. I remember throw away cameras as a kid too. I think we just have had different country experiences. Polaroids weren’t the norm in the 80s. I think you’re possibly switching the 70s and 80s or it’s like I said before, Sweden vs. US.

Ever since the “you can’t disable the fully charged notification” update that hit the same week as 5 unremovable apps with full phone permissions, I am done with Samsung. Such a scumbag way to remind you it’s not your phone.
To the right, outside of the field of the picture, is an iconic food hall for international cuisine as well as for Swedish fish and crustacean cuisine.
I'm going to guess that Swedish Fish are not the same thing in Sweden as they are in the US.
“Malaco pastellfiskar” or “Malaco-fiskar” used to be a semi-popular candy, that lost their popularity in Sweden in the 1990’s. It surprised me and my family a lot when we were abroad, especially in they US (and the Bahamas(!?!?)) that they’d been so popular, as we Swedes didn’t like them much in general once we got more candy varieties to choose from.
I am mildly amused with the thought that anyone thought these bland, (very) vaguely fruit flavoured, gelly candies were in any way something that was appreciated in Sweden once we could get international imports.
For some reason, I’ve been unable to post or comment to !sweden since about a month ago. I made some posts, but then I couldn’t. At first, I thought it was a bug, then I thought I was shadow banned (mailed the mod and checked just to be informed that they didn’t ban me in any way), then I thought it was a bug again. A few days ago, I just gave up on posting there, as Lemmy just stalls irregardless of what client I use with this account.
I’m encouraging people to go to !stockholm , but it seems it’s mainly me and a couple of other users that peruse it at all. If that sub doesn’t pick up, I’ll ghost it as well, which would suck as I think we have a lot of info to share among one another and with tourists/interested parties.
I had the same thing happen to me for a different community. I couldn’t even see any posts in that community, not even the ones I made. If I logged out I could see it, but if I logged in I couldn’t.
I eventually created a new account when I made my own instance, and that “fixed” it.
Those are countries that care about free speech. They would also allow burning the bible or the Torah … it’s not just the Koran. The inference in the headline is flawed.
It’s not really your phone if it does things like this. This is Samsung’s phone you pay for their permission to carry for a few years.
True ownership means fully possessing something and deciding how it operates including what software it runs, what data that software can access, and when it can access it. I would not be surprised if those apps had some very invasive default permissions.
There’s a difference between not having full ownership and not bothering to use it. There’s plenty of options from rooting to full custom ROMs, and as far as I know Samsung does nothing to prevent you using those, they just don’t do it for you / provide support and updates.
Yeah, you shouldn’t have to root your phone to own it though. This is just straight up asshole design, there are plenty of people out there who aren’t technically savvy who don’t know how to do this stuff. They shouldn’t be forced to circumvent the default software just to remove an app they don’t want in the first place.
Last time I bothered researching, Google pixel was the only one that didn’t void the warranty when you unlock the bootloader.
I remember Samsung being especially locked down with hardware e-fuses that blew if you ran any software not signed by their key. You could never reset back to stock afterwards.
Certain markets too, perhaps. I’m in the US with an A32 because I’ve just flat-out stopped paying for flagships, and I haven’t seen any junk in the most recent update.
Haha sure, hopefully I can remember correctly. I believe it was an 8:3:1:1 rub - brown sugar, salt, chili powder, and the last 1 was cumin, Sichuan peppercorn, and dried hot pepper. Smoked with hickory at 250ish using a 3-2-1 (3 without foil, 2 wrapped in foil, 1 without foil). I made a sauce using ketchup, mustard, rice wine vinegar, and some leftover rub, and basted that on during the last hour.
This is why I install LineageOS on every new Android phone I buy. Currently rocking an S8. With the original software it’s really hard to use since the RAM is filling up fast. With LineageOS it’s still an awesome phone.
Samsung made two different variants of the Galaxy S8 line - one with their own Exynos processors (the good one) and one with Qualcomm processors (the shitty ones).
Only Exynos devices have LineageOS. I guess that’s why they’re not listed as officially supported.
The same developer also made newer releases already. It’s rock-solid and everything works.
For good camera support I recommend using IDans Gcam mod (Mod8.3b_IDan_v4.7_test2.apk). You can enable HDR and three different moded (Day, Night and Dark), the photo quality is mostly as good as stock, if not even better. It’s a bit buggy when trying to view the photos inside the camera app so I have to use the Gallery a lot, but that’s just a minor nuisance.
Slack kills me. A group of friends of mine from college use it to stayb in touch. Our instance has a dozen or so users, half of them mostly lurk to stay in the loop. For us active members it would definitely be worth paying 7.25/mo or whatever it is, but we don’t want to lock out the others who don’t really use it so often and they definitely wouldn’t pay for it (and some can’t really afford it).
I wish they had a tier below Pro for personal use (we aren’t a business) that gave full post history and limited everything else and was maybe not per user billing but instead usage based. It’s such a great, intuitive platform and works perfectly for our group of friends except that you can’t go back to look at anything.
The best discord support servers have a wiki they regularly update with the solutions they’ve helped people solve, though sometimes by just including them in their how-to guides. At least, that’s the case with certain console homebrew/modding communities.
Discord is a poor replacement for forums. It’s like hearing every conversation in a nightclub all at once. IRC, ICQ, MSN Messenger, and AOL Chat never killed forums, and I doubt Discord will either.
I hope not. I don’t understand when people suggest discord as a replacement for forums or things like reddit. It’s not really the same thing at all.
And that’s to say nothing of it being pretty targeted towards gamers and gamer culture. I am a gamer and don’t mind it but it’s a barrier to adoption for people who aren’t at all into that.
I’m in the same boat. I at least sort of “understand” it if that makes sense? Like, it’s not my bag but I know about it and that makes it easier to ignore.
But like…my wife is not at all a gamer. She goes to forums or reddit to follow hobby interests she has. Having a bunch of cringey leetspeak and gamer bro stuff is going to be off-putting to those types of people, and maybe enough to prevent them from adopting the platform at all.
It certainly factored into our decision to use slack for our college friends group instead of discord.
