So I was just sent this. Thought y’all might wanna take a looksie.

Yeah, it’s actually there at https://discordapp.com/terms

By uploading, distributing, transmitting or otherwise using Your Content with the Service, you grant to us a perpetual, nonexclusive, transferable, royalty-free, sublicensable, and worldwide license to use, host, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display Your Content in connection with operating and providing the Service.

you…. you do realize they NEED these terms…… so that they can host images……. and let ppl see what you send……… right…………

Incapable of holding all knowledge, I did not! I was hopeful someone might be clear it up but I was also hopeful that it was possible to be polite about such things. Can’t win all the time, I guess!

perpetual - So they don’t have to set up some sort of content expiration scheme.

nonexclusive - so you can post it elsewhere and potentially sell it.  If anyone asks for exclusive access be very very sure you are getting paid.

transferable - If they get bought by another company they don’t have to wipe all content.

royalty-free - They are not paying you to use their service to host your content

sublicensable - so they can have a 3rd party (like Amazon EC2) do the actual hosting, or provide another service with that content, like chat bots, giphy, etc.

worldwide license - They don’t have to geolock it

to use - Blanket right to use in their app

to host - Otherwise everything has to be externally linked

reproduce,  publish, translate, distribute, perform, and display - Every time someone views the content it is being reproduced because that is the nature of the web.

modify, adapt, create derivative works from  - Resize, transcode, change formatting, make thumbnails, etc.

in connection with operating and providing the Service. - Limits these abilities for the sole purposes of being used in the app.  Excludes their use in advertising, selling their own copy of stuff, or claiming any sort of ownership outside of the Discord app.

I hope that helps.  Legalese can be a little bit daunting but if you know what to look for, like nonexclusive and “ in connection with operating and providing the Service“ you can put your concerns to rest.

my favorite human instinct is the proclivity toward fierce protectiveness of those younger than us

like in general i am not great with children and do not want them. but when i see a 6 year old boy absolutely screaming his little lungs off in the middle of the mall i’m like “i would kill for your physical and emotional safety” and THAT is my primal instinct and inherent truth.

im very grateful for the lessons in photography i was taught in stop motion class because just now they made it possible to photograph the stars with my phone in spite of the camera usually not detecting the light of stars because theyre so dim,,,, enjoy these shiny motherfuckers

ok so if everythings normal, your phone camera should have a manual mode (sometimes called pro mode). in it, change the settings of the shutter lag to 20 seconds, then put the phone down on some stable, plane surface and press the photo button (usually when using your camera, the volume buttons can be used as photo button) and let the phone still for the whole 20 seconds. 

(basically the problem with most cameras is that they dont have a very good light sensitivity in the dark, however that doesnt mean they cant detect it at all. the longer the shutter is open, the more light your camera takes in and the more burnt/light your pic will be, so in (literally) dark situations, make the shutter lag longer to get all that light you need! also i said 20 seconds but really you can make it shorter or longer depending on what kinda stuff you want for your stars)

Yes this!

Additionally, adjust your ISO to the highest number (mimics the film used for very low light and low speed images)

image

And set your shutter speed to the longest time possible (on my phone it’s 10 seconds).

image

Leave your focus settings on Auto, and if your phone camera has a timer option, turn that on (five seconds is generally enough).

Plan your shot first, then find a place to set your phone down so you can get the image you want. The less light pollution, the better; you’ll pick up FAR more stars in your picture.

Once you know what you want to shoot, tap your screen to “focus” it, then hit the button to take the picture, set your phone down, and back away from the “tripod”. Don’t touch your phone for a good 15 seconds, just to be sure.

You will not be disappointed in the results, let me assure you.

Not even a little bit.

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I’VE EVER LEARNED

Works best in an area with low light pollution (city lights) of course !

I was walking in the forest during winter, and saw a wendigo sitting under a tree. I asked it if it was going to kill me. It said, “No, this is just a dream.” So I sat next to it in the snow for a bit and then he said, “The anger in your heart warms you now, but will leave you cold in your grave.” And then I woke up.
