“Does Jenna Haze still have a restraining order on me”

Damnit! More naked pictures!

Yes, you’re right. I initially didn’t see any reason to differentiate, but I remember the existential dread over the future of Dreamweaver, too.

Adobe’s unpopularity can be traced back to a decision it made over 10 years ago when it shifted from perpetual software licensing to subscription pricing.

I’ve heard people shitting on Adobe since CS3 and I started shitting on them at CS4. Adobe acquiring Flash was such a dark moment for so many creators.

1. Swiss cheese slices: make them holes too tight.
2. When you run everything as root, if you fuck your shit, your shit’s fucked.

“Best practices” tend to come from other people’s whoopsies. But it’s always good to question things, too.

I couldn’t resist

I’m just guessing though, so I don’t know if this is helpful at all.

Any information is helpful and I truly appreciate you taking the time to summarize your workflow. I’ve actually never monitored the histogram outside of snapping the photo, so that alone is a great suggestion. I generally edit by eye and kinda feel my way through, but using a metric sounds like a great idea! It also makes a lot more sense if you’re right about RT/DT being more “literal.”

I know I haven’t given enough time to either piece of software, but I’ve been so shocked by how little of my process carried over, that I kinda ran away in fear almost immediately.

I have, but with terrible results. Can you recommend some tutorials? The behavior of various tools always surprises me, coming from Adobe raw and Lightroom.

For example, reducing contrast in Adobe tones down highlights and shadows while doing that in dark table and rawtherapee turns everything washed out and grey.

Yeah, so here’s my general process batch-editing photos in Adobe Camera Raw:

1. Drop the contrast
2. Drop the highlights
3. Punch up the shadows
4. Boost whites and blacks
5. Adjust white balance
6. Adjust exposure

When I’m done, I have a stark, professional looking photo to export. In darktable, trying this leaves me with a grey mess. I’ve also tried rawtherapee, but with even worse results. I’m 96% sure that the problem is me, though.

I’ve been on Linux as my primary OS for around a year now. I’m still looking for a replacement for Lightroom and camera raw that doesn’t absolutely crush any image I’m working on.

Use the same cameras and AI that Musk said were gonna fully automate Tesla

If not for the billionaires, why do governments exist?

Huh… Recent context has really ruined jokes like this…

Who knew that Trump was so into Hawaiian solidarity. Gonna make the whole nation into an expensive island.

…

No. Like, no…

Never.

Literally no one does that…

Are… Are you okay?

How quickly can you lay eggs? Any non-zero answer is impressive. Negative is almost more confusing than impressive.

You should consider having more polite thieves. You wouldn’t be friends with an asshole, right? So why are you letting yourself get robbed by one?

SMHing my head

When I dispose of my hard drives, I encrypt whatever data is on it with a drill. I’ve also used an AR-15, a .45 1911, an axe, and a screwdriver.

It turns out you reasonably prevent unintentional data leaks with almost anything and a can-do attitude.

Sure, I could encrypt the data using software. But hear me out: bzzz, bang bang, whomp, clink clink clink.

Eggs are still expensive, sacrifice more!!!
