You cannot unsee de oeuf.

  • I love this. It will be great if more kids in towns and cities can grow up with wild creatures around.

  • I've been wondering if something like this existed! It seems like a cross between Cherrytree and Minder, both of which are very cool.

  • A GUI would be great. I wonder if something like Faircamp could be used as a backend to essentially make a simple static website which can be viewed offline with a browser. With a template it's just a case of dropping files into a folder.

  • Great idea 👍 I really like this. Does it require use of the command line to make the mixtapes/playlists?

  • Brean Down has you covered

  • The impact on kids is bigger but as adults we are also not immune. I suspect that a significant number of parents are putting their kids in front of a screen so they can use a screen themselves.

    I think that as we indulge more and more in high dopamine-stimumating things like screens, processed foods and drugs of various kinds, and as those things get more and more potent, it gets harder and harder to find the motivation and competence to maintain what they replace, like good relationships and community. This a compounding and self-reinforcing problem because the worse life gets, the more attractive these things become as an escape, and the more you escape the more the rest of your life gets worse.

    Its the classic downward spiral of addiction. On a massive scale.

  • Thank god. I feel like I've been cringing for months.

  • Good idea, I should have thought of this!

  • The nuclear warheads are actually made in Berkshire. The 'delivery systems' i.e missiles they are mounted on and the surrounding tech often comes from the states and gets sent back there for refurbishment and testing every few years. The UK could do a lot of damage with what it already has in stock before needing to get more. I agree that the US should be cut out of all important supply chains though.

  • The quality of their hardware is very high and reminds me of macbook pros that I've had in the past. They test their laptops on Ubuntu, so if you choose to have that preinstalled you know that everything will just work. I've run Debian and Fedora on mine and both have been fine too. The other good things in my book are that they use Coreboot which is an open source bios and their customer support is excellent.

  • You should look at getting a laptop from Starlabs with Ubuntu preinstalled on it.

  • Shut up America.

  • Ok, got you. That's still pretty cool.

  • No probs :) You will love Geeqie then! Learn (or set) the basic shortcuts and a progressive marking/rating workflow and you'll be flying. I used to absolutely hate culling but now it's my favourite part of the process!

  • This is a good question and I'll be interested to see what others have to say. One thing I've noticed is that memories can transform into 'memories of memories'. What I remember is not the felt impression of something but what I subsequently told or showed myself about it. And it doesn't even just apply to childhood - I have same thing for big events in my life from last couple of years.

    I do find that it's possible to consciously dig deeper and unearth forgotten memories though.

    I'll also add that I think what constitutes a sense of 'self' is more than just memory.

  • Just to put it out there: There are some excellent options for a linux-native photography stack which also work on windows and mac if you're interested in trying those out before switching. Darktable and Rawtherapee are both excellent raw developers and Digikam for library management and light editing. You should find that you can pass files between each for a seamless workflow. If you did switch to Linux you would also get Geeqie which is blazing fast for inspecting, culling and rating raw files and is also interoperable with the above apps.

    A really good resource for FOSS and Linux photography is pixls.us

  • FWIW .psd support in GIMP is getting pretty good. Not sure what your use case is but it might be worth checking out if you haven't used it for a while.

  • I haven't gone too deep with Krita yet but I did try out some digital painting in it a few months ago and the brushes and brush dynamics were really nice to use.

  • Definitely! There are some really powerful plugins coming out for the 3.x series now too and there's even more great stuff to look forward to in the 3.2 release due out soon. Good times indeed 🤩
