Roughly, it must be a couple hundreds prints and, say, 400 slides?

I don’t know how many I actually want to digitize, though: I didn’t do any serious culling yet and -critically- how many I want to digitize will depend on how much work/money is gonna take per print/slide.

Almost as good as star citizen

Nice.

Is this a crop from a fisheye? The lens distortion looks very unusual, with the stretched corners

Darktable is basically the only software I use so I can’t really compare… it definitely does have a learning curve and it’s quite technical (designed for nerds, by nerds), but (being a nerd myself) I find it rather natural to use.

In a sense darktable is more a collection of modules bound together in a framework than a monolithic/cohesive software. On one hand, this means you have to learn each module separately; on the other, it also means you can ignore most of the modules and only look at the handful you’ll actually use.

Definitely do watch some tutorial to get started with darktable (if only, to understand the general workflow which modules you want to use).

Strage… I can clearly see pink both on my PC and phone (in the initial image, not this one).

Did you export the photo using the srgb color space?

Nice photo.

You should work on it in post, mainly to remove that pink hue in the overblown area.

Here’s what I did with darktable (it’s just a quick edit, but still an improvement IMHO):

You got some great answers already :)

Let me just add that, in general, it’s expected to have executable files inside your home directory.

For example, ~/.local/bin is intended for user executables and usually added to the $PATH, and a lot of package managers (such as cargo, go, pip,…) will install applications under ~ (Steam also does that).

I must say, this is really creepy.

In your shoes, I’d put some effort into explaining what (legitimate) use case you have, least people won’t be much inclined to help.

Why do people think we care why they decided this or that? (same goes for people who switch to linux, or upgrade their gear, or whatever)

Basically, the only way is to disconnect the TV and use it as a dumb screen. Lineageos supports a few set top boxes (see here).

I heard (take it as hearsay) that some smart TV periodically capture screenshots of what’s on screen and upload it, so it actually disconnecting the tv from the network could (again, hearsay) make a real difference.

It’s no secret that we trade our information for access to the Internet.

I pay a monthly subscription for access to the Internet (actually two: one for the landline and one for my phone).

So what do you prefer a subscription based Internet with privacy protection or a free internet with companies allowed to take and sell your data

Either one would be better than what we have now, which is not free and not private.

What’s crashing? the Linux host? Virtualbox? the windows guest?

(personally I won’t be able to help you, but other people might)

Well, at least the one he used for thruth is safe (mastodon IIRC?)

I don’t use that so I’m mostly shooting in the dark, but… does caps:escape_shifted_capslock do what you want?

(source: localectl list-x11-keymap-options | grep esc)

The title is missing a second part: “after China, the US, Russia, the UK, etc.”.

I get that privacy is potentially in danger if chatcontrol passes (ie. it’s not right now) and that to raise awareness is worthwhile, but misrepresenting one of the best places privacy-wise as “one of the greatest threats” is just dishonest.

I tried adding backslashes to escape, it still looks fine on lemmy.ml but your app may be bugged (and possibly vulnerable to xss? can you see the script block after the closed bracket?) <script>alert(‘you should not see an alert’)</script>

Ommigod, these kids :)

SVG comes XML (a more coherent/simple version of the SGML that is behind HTML), and specifically from a time where people took XML and made it hyper-complicated with a flurry of extensions and specifications (look up “xml namespaces” “xslt” “xml schema”).

The most apparent difference between SGML and XML is than in the former you write tags like <br> without a corresponding </br>, and in the latter you have to close them like <br/> (which is shorthand for <br></br>).

So… today you learned that what you learned earlier today was close to truth, but not true :)

PS: A lot of document formats are undercover/zipped XML (eg. the libre office documents, IIRC microsoft’s .xlsx and .docx). This is not dissimilar to how json/yaml are widely used today.

Based on a US distro whose versions are supported for 1 year, and “built to the requirements for the EU public sector” (because the EU public sector has one coherent set of requirements and the dev knows them, even if he doesn’t list them out).

This is most probably good-intentioned and it is admirable how the dev sprung into action, but it’s naive at best.

Visitors to the US have been asked if they were members of the communist party since forever though?

IDK if those who replied “yes” would be sent back, but I do remember reading about Chinese communist party members being denied entry to the US.

I don’t see much difference between this and that as far as the 1st amendment is concerned… aren’t you idealizing the 1st amendment (and/or how seriously the US takes it)?

PS: let me make clear that I’m not trying to defend the indefensible behaviour of the Trump administration in any way

You must have an outdated version. The current version is “We announce that there must be no criticism of the President, and that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong. Anything else is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
