I’ve put noise cancelling headphones on to use my computer, and forgotten both the music, and the noise cancelling. I sat there for about an hour with headphones on that did nothing 😫

Have you tried RawTherapee instead of Darktable? They both do pretty much the same thing, but I find RawTherapee much easier to use :)

It’s never Lupus

It depends on which symptoms you have and how strong or intense they are. My wife and I didn’t have excessive symptoms when we were younger, so didn’t really have too many problems making friends, while our kid has more issues with staying on topic and interrupting because of the need to get a thought out straight away. They’ve still got friends, but find it harder to make long term friends.

If we had decent privacy, they could be amazing. Imagine something like Facebook, the way it used to be advertised, that could identity your friends and give you some of the information they’ve chosen to share with you.

Instead of trying to frantically remember your friend’s new partner’s name, you get a subtle name bar above their head. Maybe you get a reminder about their birthday, or a life event they’ve shared.

Unfortunately though, we’re currently stuck with the shitty version that going to extract all the data it can, and sell it to whoever can afford it :(

I’ve tried ChatGPT a few times to see if it’s useful for me, and it’s worked surprisingly well in most cases.

I made a website that needed two modal images, one on the top and one on the bottom. I wanted them to be enlarged when they were clicked on. I found a load of guides for getting one to work, but I couldn’t get both to work. A few minutes with a prompt got it working. It didn’t help me to learn JavaScript, but did give me working code that I needed quickly.

I’ve used it to fluff up some text. I’m not very good at making things sound good in text, so it helped a lot.

The latest one I’ve tried is getting camera settings for a dark gig setup. I was able to give it an old photo that was under exposed but gave an accurate impression of the room, and ask for recommended settings with the same lens, a new lens, and a flash. It gave me a selection of settings with and without the flash, including settings for rear curtain sync, so when it leaves a ghost trail behind the subject. It’s nothing I couldn’t figure out, but would have taken a bit more trial and error in the room. I probably wouldn’t have thought of the ghost trails.

Be careful with Mediamonkey. I’ve got it on my phone and PC, and my music is getting quieter and quieter on the phone. I think it’s something to do with the volume leveling on the Android version, but haven’t had a chance to figure it out yet.

I can put a song on full volume, and it’s quiet enough that it’s difficult to hear. I’ve tried the same tracks through youtube, and the volume is fine, so it’s not the phone speakers.

If you’re using Lemmy in a browser, opening a link will take you to the link’s instance, like opening a new website. This will mean that you need to log in to post etc.

If you use Lemmy through an app, that should handle the links and make it essentially work like one big website. You can open links from any part of Lemmy and be able to post and comment from your existing account.

The only issue may be the fact that you’re on .ml. Some instances have blocked .ml and a few other instances because of what are basically political differences. That will restrict where you can post, and could be part of your issue.

Bad. Copyright needs to be reformed, but this would be more likely to put money into the hands of rich people and corporations.

Imagine that I’ve just released a book series that’s more popular than Harry Potter and LOTR combined, and I get hit by a bus. What’s then stopping Disney or Warner Brothers etc from producing a set of movies with all the associated merch, and making a shit load of money, with not a penny going to my family? Not even giving them the opportunity to make enough to live on, never mind getting rich?

In that situation, depending on the contract, the publisher could even pulp the existing books and release identical copies without paying me or my family.

I’m gonna eat you little fishy!

Clean the outsides. You shouldn’t put anything inside your ears, not even your fingers, but cleaning behind your ears and rubbing your earlobes between your soapy fingers isn’t going to cause any issues 👍

I’ve found with this type of text that if I try to read it normally, I struggle to process the change between the start and end of each word, and read much more slowly. If I try to read quickly though, it flows, as if I’m skimming the words but still understanding them properly.

It’s a very strange feeling :)

Your account is less than a week old, and you’ve made about half a dozen posts around the same topic. Maybe try reading the answers to your questions and think about them.

Exactly. I used to do the same thing about 15 years ago with Windows XP and Windows 7 computers. I didn’t have a lot of space, so I’d get about half a dozen set up and go along them in a row running the installers. By the time I got to the end of the row, the first one would be about ready for me to click the next box. The vast majority of time installing an OS is waiting.

Don’t you mean /g?

Wasn’t that one of the Incan gods?

Just a reminder:

I’ve got a CF-25 here. I keep meaning to find the power supply and seeing if it still works :)

My wife doesn’t just do this, she irons t-shirts inside out to protect the design, but also folds them with the design on the inside. Most of my t-shirts are black, so I have no way of telling them apart without unfolding them…
