Les gens qui promènent leur chien sans laisse sur les pistes cyclables longue distance (== véloroutes trans-européennes) : vous méritez la mort. Je rappelle qu'en cas d'accident entre votre clébard et mon vélo, on va en correctionnel et c'est pas moi qui paie les dommages et intérêts. Un animal est un bien meuble et VOUS êtes responsable des dommages qu'il cause, sales merdes.

I would like to remind you that there are only 2 kinds of people on Earth : those looking for solutions and those looking for excuses. Because, guess what ?, everybody has problems ! At the end, you get to choose whether you want to get rid of your problems and build up on them, or you prefer to keep complaining about them while doing nothing, maybe waiting for someone else to fix them for you (won't happen).

@Tatica, fascinated by something at #LGM19

I'm developping a new discipline : the cyclo-street-photography. It's like street-photography, but on your bike, so basically it's faster paced and people will notice you, meaning you need to engage, and no sniper-ninja mode available. Stay tuned…

Je ne comprends pas la mode des vélos à assistance électrique. Les gens sont prêts à payer 3000€ pour éviter le seul effort physique qu'ils ont à faire de toute leur journée d'écran, et pour préparer leur infarctus. Même moi qui n'ai plus fait de sport depuis le bac et qui bouffe 10h d'écran par jour depuis 6 ans, j'arrive à torcher sans douleur 30 km en 2h sur un VTC, après juste 4 semaines d'entraînement. Du coup, un peu de courage ?…

Besoin urgent d'un quadruple concerto pour cymballum, cromorne, uillean pipe et clarinette. Quelqu'un a ça ?

I will be at the #LibreGraphicsMeeting #LGM in Saarbruecken on Thursday. If you want to meet there and talk about #filmic and #darktable or other stuff like #colormanagement and #photography

@Purism #librem5 is starting to feel a lot like Ubuntu Phone and Firefox OS. We had to cancel the pre-order and buy an iPhone instead. I want to believe in OpenSource phones, but there is not much to be seen. Meanwhile, the less bad option is still Apple (I can't believe I'm actually saying that).

Fstoppers is worse and worse as years go by. I was wrong to think they hit the bottom 2 years ago, apparently, they still dig. I don't know if it's a joke or a shame to read 20-something no-names give business advice to photographers, while mostly reposting what senior writers posted 4-5 years ago. Plus, one post over two stating gear doesn't matter, while the other opposes mirrorless vs. DSLRs vs. iPhone merits (with Adorama sponsored links). LOL.

Hey #darktable users : since september 2018, I have added 14050 lines of code in darktable's core, being the 2nd most productive dev for 2018/2019, and father of filmic, color balance v2 and the new UI design, in addition of providing doc, tutos, advice and various bugfixes. I'm working full time on more cool projects (modules and R&D), but I'm still paid way below minimal wage. If you can spare a few €, you can help me to help you long-term : https://liberapay.com/aurelienpierre/

The #darktable UI rework is now merged in darktable 2.7 (dev version) and therefore planned for darktable 2.8 (released next Christmas)
