Went to @xoruby.com in Portland, and it was a blast! If you get a chance to go when it's near you, I highly recommend it!

Sometimes I have to spend my HN karma smh
Hacker news post that says > Turns out “delete after import” was a huge mistake. That's a mistake no mater what application you're importing to, else we'll be graced with another blog post, "Darktable app Corrupts Photos". What's the purpose of RAW+jpg though? Seems rather redundant? With my reply > That's a mistake no mater what application you're importing to, else we'll be graced with another blog post, "Darktable app Corrupts Photos" Thanks dad.

Am I the only one that gets these "extensions are not built" warnings? They drive me up the wall. Why am I getting yelled at for gems I didn't require? 🫠
