I’ve tried to main it on a few occasions most recently on 4.1. It’s immensely powerful and I really think it surpasses Lightroom on ability to create pleasing tones. I have it installed on my home and laptop photo editing setup and I do use it on occasion.

Uortunately, even as an Adobe hater, I still use Lightroom CC 99% of the time. Why? Because speed and cross-platform compatibility. CC is less powerful* but I can do all of my editing in 30 seconds per photo and I have roughly the same experience accross Mac, Linux, and Android.

Darktable is slow to update, you have to be methodical, and there are so many ways to do the same thing. I know the devs are trying to make the best tool possible and I think they’ve built a gem. But I’m not invested enough to learn best practices for my photo editing software. I want a tool which gives me the happy path to the basics.

*ai masking, ai noise reduction, and ai object deletion are insanely useful. I feel bad every time I use them… But I do. Darktable doesn’t have these

Dang. That hasn’t happened to me yet, but it sounds infuriating

I didn’t get this. Anyone care to explain?

Worked for me

People have been asking for thicker phones with more battery for years. Wth

As someone who’s written tens of thousands of lines of SQL in dozens of environments, this guide has great tips and ugly code… Dear God, my eyes!

I scrubbed the video for the better part of 40 minutes. Here’s the vibe. These points bounce off each other.

1. AI everything. This is aimed at investors who don’t know shit about games other than it has labor cost. Nothing novel was shown or discussed other than broad strokes of concepts which we already know about.

2. Sponsors and Ads everywhere. To remind us it’s EA

3. Creating is bad business. EA wants:

• to use AI, not artists
• fleeting interactions, not deep experiences
• sell platforms, not content
• engage algorithmically

They aspire to do to games what TikTok/Reels/Yt shorts did for video. Make it as easy to make a “game” (AI slop) as shooting a phone video. Let the algorithm bubble up addictive crap and get eyeballs on screens. Ads everywhere. Pay extra to make Iron Man a character in your 2-minute “game”

This is a nightmare and I hope they fail

🤮

What?

Monetary devaluation is an economic policy Inflation is literally the “general increase in the prices of goods and services”

This was a breaking change on YouTube’s side. You have to update to v0.27.1

Of course. But that’s not uniquely Romanian or some rememenace of the communist times. That’s capitalism. Look at the US and England. They have the same problems.

A little over a decade of economic stagnation, a massive flow of money and power from “the state” (the oligarchs) to private citizens (oligarchs, sometimes new ones), and years of privatization, austerity, and general kleptocracy against public goods…

Then one of the fastest growing economies in Europe, with a good standard of living, and insane rates of home ownership and some of the best and cheapest Internet in the world.

The dictatorship was overwhelmingly bad though it had some positive, socialist traits. What Romania is today is much better with some bad capitalist traits. People in the country sometimes look back to the communist days with nostalgia. Others got stuck in the post-communist bleakness and never saw that their country moved forward past them.

This is a really useful writeup because it outlines a simpler installation. It seems like most people post when they have a very special or unique situation.

It was 5 years and 8 months between the release of Oblivion and Skyrim. Oblivion was released on March 20, 2006, and Skyrim was released on November 11, 2011.

With added firmware/drivers for better hardware compatibility

Signal is pretty good all around and phenomenal considering that it’s free.

I wish I had enough time and knowledge to combine mumble and revolt… That would be the perfect discord replacement.

Actually, I just want 1) gaming voice chat with 2) a shared music bot which 3) my non-tech friends would want to use
