I really thought that my sarcasm was obvious, especially with that last sentence… Apparently there are people out there who are more openly shitty than I realized.
There’s never a good reason to enable and protect rape.
Any standard set lower than this should be grounds to get throat-punched.
- Comment on The emotional support dunkies 1 day ago:
Y’all are being way too harsh. I’m sure he has a really good reason for why he enabled and protected Harvey Weinstein’s rapery. Something so convincing that we’d all say, “you were absolutely right to help blow up the lives of fellow artists. You’re really not a piece of shit!”
- Comment on PHILIPS FIXABLES. 3D-PRINTED PARTS FOR FRESH Starts. on YouTube 4 days ago:
Just a friendly reminder that Philips continued manufacturing CPAPs with a sound dampening foam after learning that the foam caused lung cancer. They covered this up for years and killed/ruined the lives of a number of their customers.
Even after the coverup was discovered, the Dutch government determined that they were dragging their feet on their recall affecting millions of customers. The government also accused Philips of a pattern of not taking recalls seriously.
Sorry for referencing this garbage website, but they’re one of the most comprehensive sources of how ghoulishly Philips treated the discovery that they were harming and killing vulnerable customers.

- Comment on What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge? 2 weeks ago:
Just from the handful of OSs I’ve tried, I’d suggest Ubuntu desktop again.
As for docker, I’d say to get docker and docker compose setup. Once you’re running in docker compose, adding machines is often as simple as editing some markup in a text editor.
But my final suggestion is to crawl before you walk before you run. Start slow in the terminal. Instead of using your file explorer, navigate directories using the terminal and then open the directory you need into the file explorer using the terminal.
Want a new file? Use
touch. Want a new directory? Usemkdir. Eventually, it’ll become annoying to open a file from your explorer when you could just open it from the terminal. Then, you’ll get annoyed with text editors and want to reduce your context switches by using vim.Also,

I’m far from an expert, but I’ve made some progress of my own and eventually we might learn a thing or two together. - Comment on Unannounced Blade Runner Game Canceled At Supermassive 3 weeks ago:

If any of you other states are willing to accept and help employ a Texan immigrant, I could really get behind this. I work in the tech sector and I’m a Texas 5 or 6, or a 1 anywhere that requires a degree.
Not to be picky, but please not Oklahoma, Florida, or Mississippi. Those seem like lateral moves.

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.
- Comment on Adobe Deletes Bluesky Posts After Furious Backlash 4 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Microsoft has now fired the employees who publicly protested the company supplying AI tech to the Israeli military 4 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Microsoft has now fired the employees who publicly protested the company supplying AI tech to the Israeli military 5 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Microsoft has now fired the employees who publicly protested the company supplying AI tech to the Israeli military 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, so here’s my general process batch-editing photos in Adobe Camera Raw:
- Drop the contrast
- Drop the highlights
- Punch up the shadows
- Boost whites and blacks
- Adjust white balance
- 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.
- Comment on Microsoft has now fired the employees who publicly protested the company supplying AI tech to the Israeli military 5 weeks ago:
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.
