@verita84 because it's an app for a totally different purpose? lightroom is a tool for managing a library of hundreds of thousands of images.

@bot @gray i mean if i switch i'm switching to a cracked version obviously

@gray @bot the problem is that i have 26 years of digital photography in lightroom already. does capture one import all of that? can it even handle a library that huge? it's like 2TB and hundreds of thousands of images...

@sabbatical nothing quite as obnoxious as an instance owner telling you what you're allowed to read on the internet

@luka last? or first?

last (in public performance) is when patrick russell dropped seawolf at no way back 2022 (or was it in 2019?) and it surprised the hell out of me despite knowing the record stone cold and hearing it a million times. it was a total dj-for-djs move.

@retr0id i am so confused then. why do you need .rip?

@retr0id then it sounds like they would still be .zip files.

ha russia switched its national anthem after the USSR collapsed, but TIL putin put back the original USSR anthem melody as russian's official anthem in 2000 (without the original words).

@retr0id then just implement zip without the parts you don't like - if you're careful then existing decompressors should be able to work on your files

@icedquinn having seen some of the memes that those people post, i am gonna stick with "cursed" at the risk of being cancelled from my joke being misunderstood

@retr0id what improvements do you propose? it may already be part of the zip format, just not widely implemented. it does a lot of stuff, being an old and crufty format.

@Andres @socketwench you're simply objectively wrong here. publishing one-to-many is about the size of the amplification, full stop. it's useless otherwise. just because *you* wave it away as "influencers and celebrities" doesn't mean it's not value, and the size of the audience is the *only* metric that matters when determining objective impact or usefulness of publishing. it's publishing, not "a social network". that's retconning.

@bot it's not easy, and i attempted to contribute to darktable but they are rude and uncooperative so i stopped. if you don't like my complaining, mute and/or unfollow. thank you, drive through.

@Andres @socketwench "big number better" is because it's a one-to-many publishing platform. people who think "big number better" isn't true are people who don't talk to large groups of people; i.e. people who don't matter.

i fucking hate giving adobe money but i'm still not ready to use cracked lightroom because it has so much valuable shit stored in it. at least i downgraded from the $600/year full creative cloud to the $250/year lightroom-and-photoshop-only one. fuck adobe.

please someone replace lightroom with something usable (it isn't darktable, shhh)

@alan imagine thinking the government stopping you from interacting with a publisher and publishing platform is somehow doing you a favor

@vagina_museum it's because the censorship is invisible so it is prudent for them from a brand protection standpoint to overcensor anything that might possibly contain words that might contain unflagged nudes. it costs them nothing to overcensor.
