we have way too much new user feed back that “darktable isn’t at all like lightroom” and well… yeah.

darktable should not be an LR anything. ;)

Its going to be rough getting the things that are fairly necessary for a photo editor: color management, calibraiton, etc etc. God speed to the dev, but I’m not sure I see this getting to the point of replacing darktable for me.

The thing is, “vibe-coded” doesn’t always have to mean some terrible project stealing data with a million backdoors.

It doesn’t have to mean that… but that’s what it means.

It was vibe coded in two weeks. It doesn’t have color managed. Its missing a lot of things.

On one hand, I sympathize with the concern and desire for transparency. After all, vulnerabilities easily missed by AI can have devastating effects on someone’s privacy and infrastructure. On the other hand, should we really be any more hesitant over a vibe coded project than an app launched by someone whose GitHub profile links to their Neocities page (no shade intended)?

The answer is “yes.” Neocites is chill. Vibe coded software that maybe works is not.

I have been wanting to set this up for a while, but didn’t know what I was doing, so this tutorial helps a lot and I will give it a go, thanks!

Emby rugpulled their users, that’s why jellyfin exists at all.

Did they split the contacts and calendars into their own rust crates? It’d be awesome to have it as a standalone.

ZFS datasets.

Your “unedited” raw file is not actually unedited and has a lot of processing applied to it. It is likely that capture one has a business relationship with Fuji to know what “secret sauce” the in-camera jpeg engine uses.

If you don’t start using and contributing to free tooling now, they’ll never get better and they’ll never be “professional” (whatever that actually means).

You can continue to lock yourself into proprietary tooling, but that result will always be the same: a decent product gets bought, made subscription, get worse in quality while bleeding the customer out via subscription. You are already there will Adobe, and its started for Affinity.

So, the longer you hold out on FOSS tooling, the worse and slower things will be.

Look at how excellent FOSS tools are when they get attention and investment: blender and krita.

Sorry… This is like some real computer hacker kill William shit.

I hope this is a swing and miss at satire, but honestly I can’t tell.

You can’t be serious.

Name calling is what people do when they don’t have any rational argument left, and you’ve done it twice.

Everyone loves increased work load and wow that’s a lot of power to… do what exactly.

You don’t need to resort to name calling, you could make a compelling argument instead…

It doesn’t “learn” anything, its a database with linear algebra. Using anthropomorphic adjectives only helps to entrench this useless and wasteful technology to regular people.
