Random thoughts and finds...

Man, seeing all the strings always going back to big fossil fuel is always a surprise, even if I am aware that it was always like that. These cronies are of course best buddies with Trump and who knows how much damage this is going to do in the future.

Ok. Bit of random self publicity. A couple of recent edits I’ve done and a petition to try to save this little bit of publicly funded media from cuts for any who might be interested. Tnx

I dislike Teams, but this YT makes it pretty cool.

@g-man Thanks for sharing. Made my day better. It has been a stressful two days at work. Well, the past week or so has been hard.

Does not have iGPU :pensive:

Who needs a GPU when your CPU has more cores than many GPUs? That’s a beast of a processor.

Did I mention we just upgraded the workstation at work to 2 TB of memory? Not storage, memory. I guess my image processing algorithms were a bit too memory hungry :grin:.

Framed up a photo for the mother in laws birthday this morning.
Matting is a little off center.

Sending you guys kind regards from the train. Hoping to evoke some nostalgia in some of you ;-).

(the preview is broken, let’s hope this embeds properly)
Found this and really agree, especially one of the comments:

Street photography isn’t about the people, it’s about what the people are doing.

I also do street photography sometimes and if I decide to include people, it’s usually side … or back shots, basically anonymizing them, so it’s easier to share publicly

I have to get this *random fact *off my chest once: when writing about darktable I have to concentrate absurdly hard to not confuse lighttable/lightroom and darktable/darkroom.

Congrats. It does not include preregister-lurking years if you are shy like me. I was also shadow-following Pat and others way before PIXLS.

Thanks for sharing this link, some really good points in it. And some inspiration made “click” for me as he was pointing out the obvious - oneself being part of the picture being taken.

I’m considering to by a new monitor and am currently observing prices for some Asus ProArt models on geizhals.de, hoping for some black friday offer to pop up. So several tabs of Geizhals for some ASUS monitor… I think my browser is taking the opportunity to tell me something:

Everytime I read “Sunset in Africa “struggling” with colors” I picture a sunset struggling to get it’s colours right. Makes me chuckle everytime.

Also: Oh my god I hate working with Libre Office Writer. Dealing with images is just as bad as in the olden Microsoft-Word days. Also Libre Office ribbon interface isn’t nearly as smooth as Microsoft has had it down for years. I really don’t miss much from my windows days but fuck Libre Office Writer…end of rant. Back to work.

I heard good thing about OnlyOffice. Though I don’t use either (for simple documents, I use Markdown, for complex ones, LaTeX :wink:)

Thanks. There are a lot of nice markdown editors out there but I am missing the flexibility I am used to from word (read: being able to colour text). Onlyoffice kinda doesn’t give me the proper open-source vibes; I feel like Libre Office may be the more lasting/sustainable option…

And Latex, oh my old love. I forged my dissertation in latex (and it forged me). I almost lost my mind crafting some more complex tables but I am damn proud of the outcome. Even though the styling may be somewhat “standard Latex”.

Office work is not supposed to be enjoyable. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Unless you are the type that joins Office or Excel competitions. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
