Vimeo is not for the same purpose. It’s more B2B. I read somewhere that after a certain threshold they start billing you for views.

I’m into it. All of the news is bad news for him and I love it. It’s like a house burning for a year and I just like checking in on it every few days.

Version 4 has been a decent upgrade. I still have some gripes with the overall behavior and interface, but it’s very capable software.

With the exception of AI Denoise the AI stuff is of little interest to me. I got in on the Kickstarter for Abode and am hoping that will be a suitable paid alternative.

Just curious, what are the biggest features that you feel Darktable lacks? I use it occasionally but haven’t noticed any huge gaps from LR.

I have no complaints. It’s nearly perfect device to me.

Sorry, but Elon is about 40 billion in the red compared to this guy so I think he’s got Unity bosses beat by a lot.

I agree with the other commenter that it sounds a bit like the Fediverse. It’s interesting to think about. I think part of what draws people to any messaging platform is continuity with the other services on the platform. The actual messaging experience can be duplicated or exceeded by anyone, like how RCS has made the humble text message more powerful and compatible than anyone at Apple could comprehend.

With this idea, would any messaging platform that became ultra successful be then required to allow other platforms to message their users? Which platforms are allowed? How is spam managed? What about special privacy features like what’s built in to Signal or Telegram? How do the platforms manage linking to content embedded in other parts of the platform (think Instagram posts/reels/messenger).

There are a lot of difficult issues to work out.

Last I knew Google Fiber used PON. With PON a provider would not allow a subscriber to use their own equipment.

The above is important because PON is essentialy one bidirectional fiber from a central office serving dozens of customers in the field. If you plug in with something on the same wavelength you could interrupt all the other customers on your PON. In PON since your fiber is not dedicated all the way back to the CO, they would have no way to know what device was trying to connect to their access node. They would need to configure your devices Mac address similar to how DOCSIS cable internet works.

If they ARE using dedicated fibers back to the CO then that would more likely be Active Ethernet, a slightly different technology. They would probably still tell you no because of how the CPE (the box at your house) needs to be remotely configured by the access node for shapers etc.

Is it possible that you have a power issue at your house that is causing the failures?

Check me on this bit I think specifically it’s a single sided 2230. They made some caution about dual sided 2230 because of clearance or airflow.

I got in on the Kickstarter for the Abode (not a misspelling) software suite by Stuart Semple and am hoping that when they release that it at least beats Darktable. Also, Darktable is pretty great as a free alternative to Lightroom.

Edit: I named him because he created the Freetone color palette when Pantone upped their license fee on Adobe. He also made a few paints and sells them at reasonable prices as an accessible alternative to more expensive paints.

What happens tomorrow? Change the IP again? And again? It’s not a long term solution.
