How I manage my photo workflow, a tiny 🧵 :

First of all, I shoot in JPEG. If it's not good enough for a JPEG, it's not good enough for a RAW. Not amount of data will ever recover a totally burned area.

So after I transfer my files to my computer, I open Rawtherapee, an open-source equivalent to Lightroom.
My first step is to select all the unblurry/correctly exposed pictures using a 1-star rank. You can also color-label your pics, but I find the star system more handy.

After a first pass, I filter on the starred pics and I unstar the worse ones until I have a number of pictures I'm comfortable with. Usually around 15 pictures per model. Removing pictures hurts, but it's less work down the road, and nobody wants a dozen identical shots.

Next, let's process one picture by double-clicking it

Sama & tech bros are just trying to cash out before everything goes to /dev/null. LOL. Everyone with 2 brain cells knows advanced reasoning
models (e.g., Claude 3.7 Sonnet, DeepSeek-R1, OpenAI, Gemini) exhibit a collapse in reasoning effort and accuracy as task complexity increases.

It fails to even do the most basic of tasks! I could go sic gpt 4.0 on an article, just to have it tell me what the publication date was, and it will fail to find it.
in reply to nixCraft 🐧

I'm unconvinced by this argument. For one thing, AI isn't algorithmic, it uses neural networking to generate new solutions out of old ones. Sometimes it works well, sometimes it doesn't, usually depending on whether the input is appropriate to the task. Asking an LLM to do anything except simulate human-generated text is like using a hammer to dig graves.


Experimental Piefed support is now available for Voyager


I'm excited to announce that Voyager now has experimental support for logging in with Piefed! You can try it out today on:

This will roll out to the official app stores and vger.app soon(tm), once I’m confident there are no major regressions. If you prefer not to switch to beta builds, just hang tight.

Please note that Piefed support is EXPERIMENTAL! There are still many things that don't work quite right, which I'm hoping to improve over the coming weeks.

The basics including scrolling home/all/local, viewing posts, blocking, commenting and voting should work well. However there are some known issues:

  • Can't sign up for a Piefed account in-app, only log in with an existing one
  • Subscribed communities list is empty (should be fixed soon!)
  • Inbox tab doesn't load
  • Comment search doesn't work
  • Profile upvoted/downvoted doesn't load
  • No moderation tools
  • Mark as read doesn't persist
  • Creating/editing posts is currently untested
  • ...probably a bunch of other stuff too, please let me know below!

Behind the scenes, this interoperability is made possible thanks to aeharding/threadiverse, a new library I am working on to normalize various threadiverse-software APIs. It's open source so any project use it, but it's under heavy development right now. What's cool about this is in the future, adding support for mbin, or whatever else is possible!

Again, feel free to try it out and let me know if there are any more issues to be documented and fixed.

in reply to FancyPantsFIRE

Yeah, piefed thumbnails are pretty small. I don't know if that's a per server config or not though. Probably something to ask the piefed devs
in reply to aeharding

Yesterday I merged in a PR that lets the instance admin set the sizes for thumbnails.

But the real issue is that the thumbnails have a variety of uses - in the PieFed web UI thumbnails are shown quite small so 170px is fine. But some mobile apps might show the thumbnail in a manner that spans the whole screen which is going to need to be at least 350px wide.

I'll make PieFed generate a 500px version of the thumbnail and include that in the API response (as well as the smaller one).

@rogersm It's probably also the least relevant in terms of his achievements so he gets a pass on that one IMHO.
in reply to Project Gutenberg

@rogersm There's nothing wrong with that quote, and it's arguably the one he's most known for. But his work on Turing Machines and Enigma was a lot more impactful (but probably less quote-able!)
in reply to Project Gutenberg

turns out he was incorrect — a good guess, but wrong, and he did say his test was flawed…

On multiple levels, ‘green’, ‘renewable’ energy dams devastate freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity. “While they account for less than 1 percent of the Earth’s surface, freshwater ecosystems are home to more than 10 percent of all species,” Josh Klemm and Eugene Simonov wrote for International Rivers. “Hydropower dams are a key culprit in the rapid 84 percent decline in the populations of freshwater species experienced since 1970."

The image displays a collection of smartphone screens arranged in a grid pattern, showcasing various interfaces and features. The screens predominantly feature a green theme, with some displaying the postmarketOS v2.0.6 welcome screen, which includes a green triangular logo and text. Other screens show different app icons, settings menus, and widgets, such as a keyboard, a script menu, and a control center with options like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile data. The time and date are visible on some screens, with times ranging from 12:57 to 13:28 and dates from Friday, June 20 to Friday, June 25, 2025. The backgrounds vary, with some screens showing solid colors like purple and green, while others display app icons and widgets. The overall layout is organized, with each screen clearly visible and distinct from the others.

Hola @rober estoy intentando usar la extension de Raycast para publicar y interactuar con Mastodon, pero cuando intento hacer login de autorización y arranca el navegador, estando logueado en masto.es, me salta siempre una pantalla de cloudflare.

No se si me puedes ayudar. Ya he abierto una incidencia con la gente de la extensión pero no tengo claro si es algo de su lado por que he probado la extensión con masto.social y si funciona.

in reply to Roberto

Acabo de probar con una VPN y lo mismo, saliendo por 3 países diferentes.

He encontrado este hilo en una incidencia similar y dice que el admin del server de mastodon había hecho un ajuste
