Why Shadowrun 1st edition? It's not the game at its best. Burst fire and full auto require rolling dice for every single bullet! (And I say this as someone that was introduced to RPGs through Shadowrun 1st edition, and even has a Shadowrun tattoo)

People are complaining about this, but it makes a lot of sense. Normally, you can't use reverse osmosis to turn salt water in to fresh water without some form of power to overcome osmotic pressure, and that's what makes reverse osmosis desalination a challenge to implement at scale.

Darth Vader is demonstrating that with the addition of The Force, it becomes possible to create the pressure required for reverse osmosis to occur without needing a battery or power supply, and thus, fresh water from the ocean!

We have the technology to manufacture materials that could make up a Dyson Swarm. We are not even close to having the technology to make materials that would be sufficient to make a Dyson Sphere.

What we don't have is the resources, logistics, energy supply and manufacturing base to implement either...

The quickest and easiest solution would be to update your snapper config and reduce the number of snapshots you keep.

Induced radioactivity is mostly the result of contamination from radioactive materials. Whilst it's possible to induce radioactivity from gamma rays directly, you're talking "background noise" levels of radiation. Which is to say, the cable isn't going to become notably radioactive, and even then, the part that does, will be the part that isn't protected by the atmosphere. And for people to navigate those areas of space safely, we already need shielding to protect us from the suns electromagnetic radiation, so a small increase in radiation from the cable isn't going to make much of a difference to anything.

Ah yeah, I think I know what is causing that! We had a similar issue with Tesseract after we setup our new endpoints.

Kaity will have a poke around when she gets a chance!

The only adobe software I used was photo editing, so Lightroom and Photoshop. I have no idea what their other apps do, or how they compare to linux equivalents

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago

Ah, no, I use darktable for all of my editing. But sorting my photos, rating, tagging and flagging them for future editing is all digikam.

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago

Digikam is built from the ground up to be a photo cataloger. Hierarchical tags that you can click on to expand or contract, the ability to jump from a given photo to all photos taken on the same date, or all photos in the same folder, or all photos that share a particular tag. Collapsible folders and tag structures, the ability to toggle child tag/folder recursive view on or off, image grouping (automated by filename/timestamp/burst). They also share metadata perfectly well through EXIF data, so anything I do in one is visible in the other right away.

This is digikam

This is the same folder in darktable

 

We've been getting a few of these types of posts recently, so this is just a reminder. There are plenty of places we can find endless bad news. This is not meant to be one of them. Bad news has a place here, but only when it's part of a discussion that helps people move forward despite the negative.

My biggest issue with darktable was the masking. It's so different in darktable, but once I understood it, all the barriers fell away

I can't find something that has a decent workflow. I'm not looking for anything fancy

I import, sort and tag my photos with Digikam, and then open them with darktable for editing.

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I was one of the former. Photography isn't my job, but it's really important to me, and photo editing was a show stopper for me for a long time. Even after I moved to Linux full time, I was using remote desktops, VMs and whatever else I could manage to get Adobe stuff working, without having to switch back to Windows. I endured, because I'd finally hit a threshold where that pain was worth putting up with in preference to Windows and its built in ads and spyware.

But when I finally gave up on getting Lightroom working on linux, I figured I had no choice but to learn a linux compatible workflow... It was either that, or go back to windows, and that wasn't happening...

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 41 points 6 days ago (18 children)

In hindsight, I'm so glad I couldn't get them working on linux, because it forced me to get my head around Darktable. I couldn't go back to Lightroom now...

 

If you're non binary, and have a blahaj lemmy account, ideally with history in this community, and you would like to moderate this community, please reply and let me know.

 

For those quick off the mark, you may already have seen her name appear in the list of lemmy admins! We've brought Jorunn on board, as she's already staff on our piefed instance, and she has been helping moderate lemmy via our admin bot, which can approve signups, delete spam etc. So, she now has her own keys to the castle to make her life easier!

You can reach out to her for issues around community/instance moderation, regarding our lbz users etc. Kaity and I are still the best contacts for sys-admin related issues however.

Anyway, welcome aboard Jorunn and thank you for taking this on. I certainly appreciate it :)

This was taken in near total darkness, with a hand held, 300mm 1 second exposure. I love this camera and lens!

And thank you to the Tawny, who was happy staying perfectly still for my long exposure :)

If you're interested, and use Blåhaj Lemmy as your main instance, let me know and I'll add you as a moderator. You'll then be free to add other off instance mods if you like, but the primary mod needs to be a Blåhaj Lemmy user,

Planning a heist (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

This Kookaburra, was staring at the chips of a guy who had laid down on the grass and closed his eyes. A moment later, the heist succeeded!

Kaity has just spun up a PieFed instance, which is open to anyone that wants to try it out.

PieFed is part of the "Threadiverse" along with lemmy and mbin. If you are already reading this in lemmy, then you already know what PieFed is about.

If you're curious to try it out, or if you're just looking for a way to avoid lemmy, you can find it at https://piefed.blahaj.zone/

Like our lemmy instance, we have set PieFed applications to require manual approval, but if you're already a member of our lemmy instance, you can get auto approved by our modbot by quoting your registration code somewhere in your application.
