Pretty sunsets to close the day.
Annoying when Atlassian thinks people are getting too comfortable in their tools, and decides to shake things up and give a “new enhanced experience” that feels like you’re using a brand new tool…
I’m growing more and more disconnected of many travel people sharing stuff in the webs, specially Instagram. Trying to avoid generalizations, that I truly hate to do, but there’s a specific pattern that I seem to have a part of my brain dedicated to it:
- Plenty of videos in the stories walking in the streets with an action camera, saying “I’m in this really cool spot!”
- Visited country counter in the profile
- Linktree with all the affiliate links
Rant mode off…
So… The thing now on Instagram is spamming by bulk liking my comments, despite being years old, so I eventually click their OF page?… 🙄
Moon today comes with a black myst filter included.
Fully awake… 🙄
Regardless not planning to shoot large format on film, I tend to watch LOTS of it, it’s some of the best photography related content on YouTube.
And in topic of small victories this werk: convinced someone to switch from WhatsApp to Signal, and currently the chat app I’m using less often, and candidate to uninstall, is Telegram.
Another full day in pijamas… Being on a rainy and misty day makes it feel less bad.
It has been a strange few days, with the Meta owned services slowly moving closer to become X. Another blunt reminder that we must move away from these centralized services, that depend on the whim of their owner, into something more open, more decentralized, more transparent and where the user owns its data. This is very uncomfortable and somehow painful, but means transitioning from X, Facebook, WhatsApp to Mastodon, BlueSky, Signal, etc.
While I’m still the “old social media”, and kind of active, I’ve been much more present in this more decentralized and privacy conscious side of the internet, and that’s a trend to continue in this weird near future. Except on Signal, because it’s complicated to move people away from WhatsApp, but there’s still hope to change that this year!
I really big reality check of being back to work is being lost on where that feature is in JIRA’s new layout…
In my mind, and because I’m often out and about during this season, the new year only formally kicks off when I return home. So let’s get this going!
Waking up to rain pouring just above my head. I’ve had worst Sunday mornings.
A regressar de Trás-Os-Montes, mas confuso com uma bola de luz no céu que não sei bem o que é…
Here we go again! Driving for a good chunk of Christmas day, just to reach the many winter solstice traditions happening in this upper right corner of the country. And starting strong with probably one of the best: Ousilhão.
Quick thoughts on Darktable’s new camera specific styles: gives a really nice starting point for processing, and for me that’s awesome, as I don’t like to spend a lot of time on it. Even better, you can change those styles.
Antes da consoada.
Not the winter meal you’d be thinking of, but hey, blessed are the modern freezers.
The very, very last rays of light of winter solstice. To a new cycle ahead of us.
Surpresa! Parece que está nevoeiro no estádio do Nacional..
