Angry Hippy

Same for non fiction writing. If people can see how you might make a living from what you make, they love to downvote it to oblivion. Guess we’re all suppposed to have office wage jobs all day and write fanfic for free at night. It definitely keeps me from ever posting about my writing.

I sort of got the feeling that self-promotion was generally discouraged on Lemmy.

I’m tearing down a plaster and lath ceiling hung from beams to replace with sawn boards sitting on top of the beams. Not only are board and beam ceilings nicer to look at, I gain an attic floor. The boards are sawn from trees cut from the communal forest two years ago.

Maybe find a marble and stone dealer who does kitchen installs and ask them?

I would use a commercial concrete cleaner to remove any bad oil stains and then a solid sealer. Sika should make both of them and be available at the big DIY stores in the masonry section.

A well-sealed concrete countertop is a great work surface in a kitchen, though you might have to reseal it every year.

You might need another muffin. You’re a little hangry.

Especially the East.

Photography software in general.

Photo Mechanic, On1 plugins, and Capture One - there isn’t a single piece of FOSS photography software that is remotely useful for my use cases.

High volume tethered shooting with automatic application of edits and adjustments in separate layers is basically impossible.

Fast culling of hundreds or thousands of images along with applying metadata with templates is also not really possible.

Darktable and Digikam are okay Lightroom replacements, but they don’t come close to touching what is available in the proprietary world. Rawtherapee doesn’t do tethering at all, and isn’t very good at what it does do compared to On1 Photo Raw or Capture One.
