That’s some weird automatic sharpening. Use the digital zoom on your phone and and take a picture of trees or hay or whatever. Then you’ll have the same artifacts. I wish there was a way to turn it off.

Thank you for your amazing posts! I really enjoy them!

That resonates so well with me. Attending all the meetings, discussing feature requests and evaluating their feasibility is so exhausting. But working overtime for a few days to find and fix the bug that completly halted production? No problem!

Je nachdem wie risikofreudig du bist, kannst du das direkt in einem Rutsch erledigen.

Right?? What a lunatic

One ski boot every night? That’s very strange indeed.

You mean Wind🤮ws?

I’m not the one above, but I use digiKam for organizing and Darktable for editing. Though it’s not necessary to use both. You could also organize your photos in Darktable or when you only need very basic editing, do that in digiKam.

It’s different from Lightroom but I wouldn’t say harder. The docs of Darktable are very detailed and good to understand.

Ich muss sagen, ich bin begeistert! Hätte nicht gedacht, dass das zu meinen Lebzeiten noch was wird.

That’s amazing, thank you for this detailed explanation! I’ll try that out later.

Does anyone know how to properly do the bottom variant in Inkscape? I only know how to do the top one and I don’t like that

I grew up with trackballs because my dad preferred them to the old mice with a ball underneath. So for office work I still use one too. But it’s still just a pointing device so I’d say it would be similar to learn using a split keyboard or a dvorak layout or something. You’d still press one key after antother.

The CharaChorder is so different in the way your “typing” multiple keys at once. I feel like it has such a steep learning curve because you have to not only learn another button layout but the whole way your thinking about typing and writing in general. I’m afraid I’d just get frustrated and never use it, even though I thinks it’s extremely cool.

Law ready for this?

Oh ja das stimmt! Tress of the Emerald Sea zähle ich zu meinen absoluten Lieblingsbüchern.

Ich lese—oder viel mehr höre—aktuell “Yumi and the Nightmare Painter” von Brandon Sanderson. Außerdem habe ich seit sehr langer Zeit mal wieder die erste Staffel von VGHS gesehen.

Der schwarze Schimmel in meiner Dusche ist da anderer Meinung!

The magic key for me is to tell no one about my project, until it’s in a workable state. Just telling someone what I want to do, including the details of my plans, is sometimes enough for me to never actually start with it. But keeping it quiet—which is very hard mind you—leads to me actually acting on my plans.

Do you mean the CharaChorder? I thought about getting one in the past bit it looks like a super steep learn curve and I’m not sure if I’m willing to subject myself to it.

I always draw directly with ink. If I use a pencil first then I stress too much about everything to be perfect. When using ink directly from the start, I have to live with the mistakes and make them work. It’s a lot more relaxing for me.

I learned from Sketching Scottie on YouTube and it’s my favorite way to draw.

That statement of him is not entirely wrong. But we humans have a very powerful bio computer that is perfectly tuned to process those visual inputs in realtime. Until a comparable performance is possible, removing LIDAR is very stupid.
