Yeah, pretty much. Any decent display on a TV is gonna have all the shit you don’t want, but you can (at least for now) just not connect your smart TV to the internet. You;'d have a good TV with the “smarts” neutered. But you’re still paying for it.
It’s a bit like the ATSC broadcast stack. You likely aren’t using it, but the industry still makes you pay for it (and it’s not cheap).
Yeah, I liked aperture too. I do think Lightroom got a ton better in the ensuing years than aperture ever was, but it’s like $15 a month now iirc.
It was cheaper, but mostly they refocused the product from filmmakers to youtubers. The latter is a 10x (or maybe 100x) bigger customer base, so it sorta makes sense, but unfortunately for Apple they threw away the filmmaker customer base and failed to acquire the youtuber customer base. And the filmmakers didn’t forget being cast aside. FCP usage in the industry fall off a cliff and never recovered.
Premiere has a lot of the market share Apple wanted, but even they are losing ground to Resolve; a highly capable product that’s inexpensive, and made by a company that doesn’t have the baggage of fucking over its customers. Resolve right now is free if you don’t need the studio features, and $300 for life if you do.
Yeah, competition is good, but I’m not sure this is competition. These products were mostly free already, and the paid stuff in the bundle is, I guess… Pixelmator and FCPX, and at what appear to be much higher prices.
Then of course Apple is pretty famous for fucking over creatives by just dropping products. Film professionals still haven’t forgiven Apple over FCPX, and then Aperture… they just dropped it one day and kinda forced people over to Lightroom. It’s gonna be hard to earn back trust of people who’ve been burned by Apple in the past.
It’s not like it’s his money though. He’s insanely rich regardless of how the “bet” plays out.
it’s not even obscurity; it’s logged publicly.
For several years, there was a coffee shop in a mall near me called Barista Bot or something like that. Their payment screens had a tip option, and it looked to me like most people were tipping. These businesses exist; there’s real data on consumer behaviors out there.
Maybe they hired the brand team from HBO.
We know exactly what they did. They stole. Everyone knows this.
For YouTube, I’ve switched to Grayjay and I just subscribe to creators I like. I ignore the home feed.
This has removed AI slop, ads, and shorts, which is awesome, but I the tradeoff is jot having a useful recommendation feed. Its not as good as YouTube of old, but worlds better than YouTube of the last few years.
And another few thousand times per day while they’re here.
Not really silent so much as waiting for the new talking points.
Some kid with a high capacity clarinet playing Pumped Up Kicks probably. Praise Jesus.
I ran it on a Pi Zero W for a bunch of years, and it was as stable and problem free as it gets.
Early this year I swapped out my wifi/router for a minipc running OPNsense. I retired the pihole since OPNsense has Unbound built in.
It happened once
Not even once according to the article. They don’t actually know what happened on that flight, but their simulations can’t test test for cosmic radiation and didn’t reveal any other errors, so they presume it must be the cause. Then made up a story about that being a day of heavy day of solar activity, which the article refutes.
AdventureLog is pretty cool. Pairs with Immich nicely too.
Paperless NGX is awesome. Of course Immich. I also really like Firefly-iii and Home Assistant.
You still had doubt before this decision?
Do you have any doubt that they’re we’ll see the same scathing dissent headlines when they overturn the California redistricting law?
I gave it a look. And I’ll say that personally I’m not a big fan of card stack views, but that’s prob just me. The main reason I’m leaving the note here is to say that the app name bounding box in the cards seems to just truncates the app name. It works fine at 75% zoom, but at 100% zoom I only see the first 2 or 3 characters of the app name. Could be an artifact of the browser I’m using (Brave/MacOS), but figured I’d let you know.
We elected the imbecile, impeached him, witnessed his commission of countless crimes, then gave him immunity, then elected him even harder.
Yeah, I only used Lightroom Classic. I tried regular Lightroom once, did not like.
And I agree, I liked aperture better than Lightroom at the time too, but Lightroom progressed while Aperture started pushin daisies.
I’ve recently given Darktable a try. It seems promising, but it’s different enough to be a frustrating transition.
