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?
As 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 really want to like stract but I can’t get it to give me good results. I typically search for programming related things and it has difficulty pulling up relevant information regarding things like documentation and posts regarding the issue.
Huh, TIL. 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!
Interesting, 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.
This is incredible! It seems like there’s going to be a noticeable change in the night sky! As someone who’s just getting into astrophotography, I wonder if it’s something I’ll be able to capture.
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.
Ofc! How long have you been doing nature photography? I recently got into astrophotography and realized some of my lenses might have some overlap with nature photography so I’ve been thinking of diving into it!
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.
Ah that’s good to know! It felt like it went from announcement to radio silence to boom it’s releasing in a month. I’ve forgotten that it’s already been 7 years since FFXV dropped!
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.
Ah! This is super cute I love it! You did a great job!
Ah this is an incredible shot! Great job!
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.
