What should I NOT do in front of rich people?

Diminish yourself or your self worth

Women face inequality across society.

Men only groups foster and grow that inequality.

Women only groups give women a chance to get away from the bullshit at least sometimes.

If and when we solve inequality, then we can come back and talk about whether gendered groups still have a place.

You know trans people exist right?

tbh, I didn’t get that far. It could be legit. It just didn’t sound legit, and I didn’t see a person in the first little bit I watched, so I turned it off before giving it much of a go. When combined with the clickbait headline, I just felt like I wasn’t going to get much out of it

I clicked, it sounded like an AI generated voice. I turned it off

That’s what dual booting is for!

Like it or not, the distinction is meaningless to people outside of the US

I mean, Kaity and I run a Jellyfin server for our family to access, as well as a couple of friends. But that’s about as public as it gets…

These have been our settings pretty much since we set up pbz

Hi! What’s up?

GRUB because of the snapper support. I’ll probably try Liminie next time I do a rebuild

What are you doing with photoshop? If it’s mostly photo editing, it’s darktable that you’re looking for.

There’s a few artefacts and things in there because I was working with a pre edited webp file, but that’s what I’d do with it.

This is my darktable module history.

I used local contrast initially, but preferred how it looked without out, which is why it was turned off towards the end. The first color balance module was just using the “standard colorfulness” preset. The second color balance module boosted the luminance in the whole image, gave a bit more brightness to the shadows and mid tones, and increased the contrast. The final color balance module, I used a mask to isolate the background, and upped the contrast even more. This introduced artefacts in the background that wouldn’t be there if you did the same thing from a RAW file.

And this is the mask I used in the final color balance module. I manually drew an area over the bird to exclude it, and then adjusted it slightly using the hue slider. I added a bit of feathering on the mask to get rid of harsh borders and to smooth out the impacts the artefacts had on the mask. Because I was only editing contrast, and not colour, the border didn’t need to be exact.

So if it were me, and assuming you’ve got an ORF (RAW) file for the photo, I’d use the color balance RGB module, and then play around with your shadows and power settings.

If you’re really keen, you can use a parametric mask on the hz (luminance) and/or hue channels to select the background, and then boost the contrast of the background separately from the bird. Possibly give the background a little more saturation too.

Why Shadowrun 1st edition? It’s not the game at its best. Burst fire and full auto require rolling dice for every single bullet! (And I say this as someone that was introduced to RPGs through Shadowrun 1st edition, and even has a Shadowrun tattoo)

We have the technology to manufacture materials that could make up a Dyson Swarm. We are not even close to having the technology to make materials that would be sufficient to make a Dyson Sphere.

What we don’t have is the resources, logistics, energy supply and manufacturing base to implement either…

The quickest and easiest solution would be to update your snapper config and reduce the number of snapshots you keep.

Induced radioactivity is mostly the result of contamination from radioactive materials. Whilst it’s possible to induce radioactivity from gamma rays directly, you’re talking “background noise” levels of radiation. Which is to say, the cable isn’t going to become notably radioactive, and even then, the part that does, will be the part that isn’t protected by the atmosphere. And for people to navigate those areas of space safely, we already need shielding to protect us from the suns electromagnetic radiation, so a small increase in radiation from the cable isn’t going to make much of a difference to anything.

Unsurprisingly, vulnerable folk being regularly and deliberately attacked by people “speaking freely”, tend not to see “speaking freely” as a gift, and are more inclined to see a space where they’re not attacked just for existing as a gift.
