just to do things like reading rooftop unit dataplates

Most cheap drones won't be able to do this, at least not in real time. They tend to have 24mm equivalent focal length, which doesn't lend itself well to close-ups. In theory you could zoom in on a PC, but that involves getting the photos off of the drone, which is hard to to on the fly.

You'll want a camera with longer focal length if you want to be able to scout these things in real time. But honestly, I'm not sure even a 70mm would give you that, and by that point, you're no longer in cheap territory.

You might be able to get your hands on a second have Mavic 3 Pro, which has a 166mm lens on it, but even second hand and one generation behind, it's still not cheap

The Twelve Apostles are much more impressive than Pancake Rocks IMO

That was my immediate question too!

Come on, pancake rocks though!

I imagine it's a little different in photography circles since there's probably no good way to build new lenses with solder,

Those photographers shoot film, and develop their own images in a hastily thrown together darkroom in their home :)

That's a lot of words to say "Things were better when I was young".

It's a clickbait article, showing the same distress at younger generations that every generation before has complained about

The airport "Marriott" in Santiago de Chile. That place was a hole, and a tiny one at that.

If it we weren't Google, I'd be ok with paying too. As it is, the content creators will have to get by with their individual sponsorships, rather than getting ad revenue from me.

There is no tolerable amount of ads, because not only are they an awful experience, they explicitly drive user hostile growth and decisions in the future (ie enshitification).

I used to pay for YouTube to avoid ads, before I got sick of Google and refused to give them any more money. Now I use a pihole and a browser based adblocker, as well as 3rd party front ends, because fuck Google. I don't give a shit if I'm denying them income.

It changed. Back when this all went down, instance bans did not automatically issue community bans. This was a problem in the case of spammers, because it would mean that if an admin banned a user with post removal turned on, their posts would only be removed locally, and the removals wouldn't federate to other instances.

Around a year or so ago (maybe a bit earlier?) lemmy instance bans were changed to also issue community bans for any local community the account had interacted with. This meant that when an account was banned with content removal, those removals would federate to other instances for communities that were hosted on that instance.
