Yep. Cigarettes smell and taste terrible, but I love the smell of pipe tobacco and cigars. I enjoy smoking a cigar a few times a year. Though, the smoke only smells good in the moment. Once it permeates clothing, it reeks just as bad as cigarette smoke the next day.
Dude. I needed to use this app the other day for the remote shutter function, and I was somewhere with no signal and no internet. Only to discover that the app had updated and now required me to create an account to use it. I was pissed.
My great grandmother got married at 14 and had my grandmother at 15.
I think many comments have already nailed it.
I would add that while I hate the use of LLMs to completely generate artwork, I don’t have a problem with AI enhanced editing tools. For example, AI powered noise reduction for high ISO photography is very useful. It’s not creating the content. Just helping fix a problem. Same with AI enhanced retouching to an extent. If the tech can improve and simplify the process of removing an errant power line, dust spec, or pimple in a photograph, then it’s great. These use cases help streamline otherwise tedious bullshit work that photographers usually don’t want to do.
I also think it’s great hearing about the tech is improving scientific endeavors. Helping to spot cancers etc. As long as it is done ethically, these are great uses for it.
The only excuse for subscription model is when there is cloud storage/sync or server provided functions that are a core part of the software.
If I didn’t rely heavily on the cloud storage and syncing part of Lightroom for editing photos seamlessly on desktop, mobile, and web, then I would already have dropped Adobe for Darktable and a pirated copy of Photoshop CS2 for when I need to print.
I too absolutely despise the whole format.
The picture alone tells me “do not eat” yikes.
I want a FOSS version of the original core use of Facebook. A place to keep up with IRL friends and aquaintences. Share photos and updates with everyone you know. Organize and send out event invites. Facebook groups.
Sure you can do that the old fashion way. But the convenience of those features is the only reason I still use Facebook. I assume its what keeps most of FB userbase around.
It’s pretty normal. I took 6 years. I was having a good time.
I’m not saying this didn’t happen. But as an American myself, I find this bizarre. I was born and raised in Texas, and I can’t recall ever meeting someone who didn’t know what England is. Though I guess if you are visiting from England, the topic is more likely to come up.
I’m also convinced that every country has absolute morons within their populations. Our American morons are just louder than most.
It’s probably advanced Excel users, mostly. Also, people who heavily use the collaboration features of MS Office.
Its only a sin if you feel empathy for the other gods.
I had no interest in this movie either way, but now I want to see if its even remotely as bad as people are claiming it is.
The USA is supposed to be a “free country.” Everyone within its borders should have the right to criticize the country, or anything at all, and not face repercussions from the government.
That doesn’t mean they won’t face repercussions from everyone else in the country, who also have the right to criticize them.
The only way to use Adobe products on Linux are the web apps (which are limited) or in a windows virtual machine (slow) or by dual booting into windows (annoying).
You can run really old versions of Photoshop via Wine. But if your needs are that simple, you can probably just use Photopea.
For my use case of Lightroom for accessing and editing final photos across my computer and phone, and occasional photoshop use (mostly for printing) I am able to get by with the web apps, and windows virtual machine.
I would love to drop adobe. But the Lightroom Mobile cloud storage sync feature is too invaluable to me right now and there is no other option that comes close to that feature.
It should be locked at 50 cents per square foot. So a studio apt would be like $500 a month. Its close enough to what prices were in recent memory before the insane jumps in rent cost the last decade.

Does anyone else have a mandela effect about Val Kilmer being dead already? I feel like I have read about his death mutliple times over the past decade and then had a mandela effect that I thought he had already died, but then also when I heard any story about him I also have a mandela effect that I thought he was dead.
divers? was that supposed to say “divots?” Are there actually documented cases of someones skull deforming from wearing headphones enough? I have never heard of such a thing.
Good.
