Also another process change: I switched over from Lightroom/Photoshop to Capture One & Affinity Photo. No more Adobe subscription, hooray! Really liking CO.

I actually really dig CO’s session vs catalogue workflow. Sessions have really helped me organize specific projects/jobs better.

Been a while! I had a baby and have been BUSY. Haven’t had a ton of opportunities to get out but here’s some #photography over the last few months.

Outside of “work” work I’ve changed my process a bit so I don’t have to edit so much. I’m using Sony’s picture profiles to get some nice SOOC jpegs.

Security and privacy minded guy here. It’s pretty trivial to find someone’s home address. If you’re registered to vote (in the US anyway) your address is available online. Hell, phone books used to have everyone’s address.

Addresses just aren’t that private.

I used to edit PHP files directly on the server for a production API. Sometimes I feel nostalgia for those days.

I guess the freedom of speech thing is just out the window for these ghouls, huh?

“They probably won’t stop you so do it anyway.”

… is literally why social networking is a hellscape.

I’m so sick of AI things. I feel like I’m becoming a Luddite. I just want to live in a cabin in the mountains and chop wood to pass the time.

Rip that media and host it on a navidrome server and you can access it anywhere. You’ll never even miss Spotify.

Really good book on this: “Is Shame Nececcary?” by Jennifer Jacquet.

Shame is one of the most powerful, effective, and longstanding motivators for society to coerce individuals and groups to conform to social values.

He had a rape island. I’m pretty sure he’s capable of blackmail.

Not yet. I’m still waiting on the developer account. I created a bsky account @adifmate.com you can follow and I’ll post there when it’s live

They expand and migrate over time as plants do but individual fungi are not mobile as in move under their own locomotion.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who or Transformers.

Totally with you. I don’t know how I could forget ❤️

I’m so sorry you lost King. Losing a dog is a hurt that goes so deep.

He looks just like my Izzy girl. We lost her in April. She was the most loyal, fierce, and loving dog. She got me through some tough times in life and was there for some of the best too.

I used to work on an Elixir platform. Elixir is a functional language that works a lot like pipes. I can’t say it was a fun environment to work with. Has a lot of cool features though.
