Thanks so much for sharing! You gave me some good info to start looking into. I appreciate your help! I was getting a little weary of Proton when they announced the AI nonsense and now the crypto wallet really seals the deal. Doesn’t feel good knowing my money is going to develop buzzword features instead of fixing the existing issues in their current products.

Do you mind expanding on this? I recently moved away from Gmail to Proton in an attempt to be more privacy conscious and don’t really know of any alternatives. Even at a paid tier I only use Proton for their email services.
I would say I’m generally tech savvy but new to the whole privacy space. What better alternatives are there?
Myaa@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Exclusive: See The Ways Shady T-Mobile Stores Treat Customers And Employees7·11 months agoAs someone who has previously worked in the wireless industry for nearly a decade this is unsurprising. I worked for one of the Big 3 at a third party retailer and saw all kinds of shady things. From aggressive sales tactics to hostile management and straight up fraud. I was constantly getting in trouble with upper management because I refused to “live in the shade,” a term they used for committing knowingly unethical acts. The only reason I didn’t get fired (despite numerous threats) was because my sales numbers were always up to par. Turns out treating people with respect and keeping to your ethics was an equally effective way of hitting consistent numbers.

I had no idea that was an option but that’s super useful for things I need to type in on a device with no keyboard, or even things I can’t access my password manager for. Thanks for the protip there!

Myaa@beehaw.orgto Creative@beehaw.org•Any thoughts on Adobe Lightroom's Enhance Denoise?English4·2 years agoInteresting, I didn’t know they added an enhanced denoise feature. I do astrophotography and removing noise is something astrophotographer’s constantly fight against so I’ll have to give this a shot. I’m curious how it’ll compare to something like Topaz Ai Denoise tool which does a pretty solid job.
Edited: I misread your original post and thought the 1st image was the original. I actually think it did a pretty decent job, perhaps adding a little bit too much sharpness, but overall I’m surprised at the results especially compared to its standard denoise tool.
Myaa@beehaw.orgto Space@beehaw.org•Time Appears to Have Run Five Times Slower in Early Universe, Supporting Einstein's Relativity Theory0·2 years agoI read through the article and it didn’t explain at all how studying quasars determined this. I wonder if there’s a better breakdown as to how they were able to ascertain this. I know there’s been some major announcements in the field thanks to quasar study so I’m curious as to how this ties into that.
I’m currently involved in three different 5e campaigns!
The Scorn of Melchior: A homebrew campaign I created for my fiancee and her siblings that we play weekly! It’s my first time DMing and I’m still pretty new to DnD so it’s a bit of a learning curve! I have a lot of fun with it though!
Under the Midnight Sun: I’m playing as a College of Whispers Bard. Each session (or 2) is a new heist and we do downtime planning in between sessions. Currently running about twice a month! It’s a lot of fun, my character is very much playing a seductive street magician who relies on slight of hand more than actual magic for her tricks and uses it as an excuse to swindle her audience. Also in our canon, College of Whispers is not quite a traditional bard school and more the result of a curse that is spread to each member by a previous member.
Quaybound: A weekly guild ran out of a local board game cafe. It’s a weekly one shot with over 60+ members that rotate out with multiple DMs. It’s a lot of fun! I’m playing a Great Old Ones, pact of the tome Warlock. Since it’s weekly one shots backstory isn’t too important however I did make myself my own Shadow Tome spell book that contains all my spells and cantrips as well as character sheet that I bring with me each session to reference! It’s a lot of fun!
Oof, hopefully it comes sooner than it took FFXV to get ported. Although I appreciate that they release eventually I wish they would just drop it cross platform and forget about the whole console exclusivity BS.
Myaa@beehaw.orgto World News@beehaw.org•Republicans Declare Banning Universal Free School Meals a 2024 Priority6·2 years agoIt’s insane seeing how they’ve built themselves on a platform of strictly hate. It seems like they’re never for things only against things. Well I guess outside of the child marriage thing seems they’re pretty for that. It’s so strange to me that in 2023 the republican party has regressed into essentially a draconian early industrial revolution era roll back of rights. I mean they’re even repealing child labor laws. It’s literally like they want to remove all progress from the last couple centuries. It blows my mind that this is acceptable in our country in the era.
Ooh! That has me pretty excited then! I’ve been very curious of how they were going to proceed from FFXV. It was such a weird development cycle and took forever, and then it’s release was kind of mixed. I’m hoping they have a nice polished game with a really engaging story.
Honestly the way you described it has me hyped too! It seems like a really cool premises and story wise seems like they’re going back to their roots a little. I loved FFXII so no judgement here! Also the icon battles look so intense! I think it’s a pretty good way of integrating them into and Action RPG, I liked the summons in FFXV but I felt they were a bit too static and didn’t quite fit into the combat system that well.
Myaa@beehaw.orgto World News@beehaw.org•Republicans Declare Banning Universal Free School Meals a 2024 Priority30·2 years agoYou know, I try to keep an open mind and try to understand how the other side could come to the conclusions they do, but sometimes they really make it difficult. I genuinely don’t get how this could be construed as anything other than malicious. What’s the benefit in this? How is this “thinking of the children?” How did a political party come to represent views that are so aggressively anti-humanity? It’s such a bizarre platform to attach yourself to so proudly and openly.
How did you set it up? I’ve been wanting to setup forgejo in a docker container but wasn’t sure how easy the process is.
