Pretty sure Darktable only supports openCL and not Metal for MacOS. OpenCL is unsupported for M1/2/3/4/5, which makes RAW file processing, batch workflows, basically everything, unusably slow. Unless something has change

We just did this song and dance with the tariff war between US and China last year. It was revealed that 3% of China's exports are purchased by the US, and that they are fully economically prepared to take that to zero when push comes

I walk slower and talk slower than I used to, and do both way slower than people I interact with. I can appreciate things better by moving slowly, with more intention, conserving my concentration and energy for matters of substance. Why mus

The president of the United States sets the tone that hated without reason or explanation is the way the system works now. Belligerence and power are the currency. Speaking to people's better angels as if it has a chance of influencing

...and when your labour, and the labour of 90+% of all humans on the planet have no economic value, we'll do what? Continue to avoid exploring obvious solutions because certain words have been made into epithets, or failed previously b

Rule of law and precedent are considered quaint and optional now. But this centuries-old decision not encapsulated as a constutional amendment is binding? Nope.

I don't doubt this description of what happened, but the sad irony in a company whose product was producing tools to generate archival copies of images, not recognising the value of retaining archival copies of images... facepalm.

Is that true, that it's money that belongs to people? OpenAI isn't spending $1 trillion in hard earned cash on data centres, that is funny money from the ocean of financial liquid slushing around, seeing alpha. It also certainly i

Google says > RuBee is an acronym for "Radio U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing", Weirdly not related at all to Zigbee's naming origins, in spite of their technological similarity.
