awesome #lifehack
By all means, #movingtogitlab-dot-com does not solve the problem GitHub has (centralization), and moving to a privately hosted GitLab re-introduces the problem GitHub mostly solved (separation).
#GitPub is trying to solve this problem by defining a federation protocol for git services: https://github.com/git-federation/gitpub
This is a note to people moving their repositories blindly to Gitlab.org: do you know Google is actually a huge investor in Gitlab?
The issue is not about Microsoft buying Github. The issue is about centralization and silos.
You do not solve that by moving your data from one silo to another.
You solve that by relying on small providers you can trust, or by becoming a provider yourself.
I'm excited to be part of a generation of parents that understand a multiplayer game can't be paused.
One of the enhancements recently brought to RawTherapee is a threshold slider for the Sharpening and Microcontrast tools, coded by Ingo. It lets your photos appear to be more sharp and have more texture while suppressing the oversharpened-look.
Compare the sky and rock in these screenshots:
The first: no sharpening.
The second: regular sharpening tools.
The third: new AMaZE+VNG4 demosaicing and RL Deconvolution in combination with the threshold adjuster.

A company just made underwear you can keep on for weeks. It's apparently to combat the environmental impact of the fashion industry
