Fantasy needs to be grounded. It is not simply a license to do anything you like. Smaug and Toothless may both be dragons, but they should never be confused. Ignore canon, and the world you’ve created comes apart like tissue paper.

“It’s sufficiently well written that I kept reading, without being actually good.”

Setlled on using #Shotwell after close to a month of using both, Shotwell and #Digikam
Both handled my library with aplomb, with no issues. Both are awesome.
I could search, browse and find anything I wanted just the way I could with Lightroom classic.
You can’t go wrong with either.
Only settled on Shotwell, for purely subjective reasons; my mind just works better with it.

An excellent historical through line from Jack Welch’s awful practices to modern management
“ When Mira Murati said that AI was killing creative jobs that “should never have been there in the first place,” it wasn’t just a grotesque insult to those actually working in creative professions like journalism, design, and software engineering — though it was. Nor was it merely a demonstration of her unchained sociopathy and hubris, and the fact that she believes that she — a woman of little actual accomplishment and talent, and the intellectual depth of a puddle on a flat sidewalk — is singularly ordained to decide which jobs are worthy, and which jobs deserve to die.
Really, it was an insult to all of us. It was an expression of her belief that consumers don’t deserve things created by a person who actually gives a shit. You don’t deserve to watch movies that only exist thanks to the combined efforts of illustrators, sound engineers, composers, actors, writers, directors, and countless other uncelebrated roles, where each cog in the machine has spent years honing their skills until they’ve reached a level of unassailable mastery.
You, yes you, don’t deserve to use software created by someone who actually thought about the problem and — at the very least — makes a best effort to write secure, robust code.”
