Brain worms will do that.
Well, cards against humanity could get involv…
How is this not illegal??? Cards Against Humanity is PAYING people who didn’t vote in 2020 to apologize, make a voting plan, and post #DonaldTrumpIsAHumanToilet—up to $100 for blue-leaning people in swing states. I helped by getting a 2024 Election Pack: www.Apologize.lol
Personally, I’m grateful this tool exists. I have used Adobe Lightroom 5 the one you could get on a disc, like, when owning things was actually possible. Adobe has systematically pissed me off over the last decade. Lightroom was great, non-destructive edits, import into year with sub directory sorted by months. Quick copy and apply edits. Lr5 was great.
I’m just a hobbyist photographer, I’m not doing pro level anything or charging anyone anything. I would love to use the student edition. I refuse to though, because it requires Adobe to upload them online, use them for ai training, it’s not private. I take photos on a camera to NOT have them on the Internet. To be honest I’d be upset if a photographer used any ai or cloud storage for my personal photos. Sadly, it’s so baked in a photographer might not even know. Not everyone cares or is tech savvy(which is totally fine) it’s not their fault the company is shady.
That was a first issue, second they won’t support the version I have any longer, ok that’s how software/hardware works, but it’s a subscription model now and that sucks. I upload 6 months of photos at a clip, I didn’t need a monthly sub. Because of that I’m tied to an old laptop that’s on death’s door to edit my pics.
Darktable provides everything I need that Lightroom did, sans a small bit of import magic to organize photos, and it’s a little tricky to use but after about an hour, I understand how to get things going. Anything has a learning curve. With darktable I know my pics are mine, they are on my laptop, I won’t be paying a subscription. That small amount of frustration is worth it to tell Adobe to piss off.
