Been having a go at testing Free/Open Source apps for photography and image manipulation using old raw files from my Fuji X-T20 and boy-oh-boy-oh-boy do I hate them all with a passion. They're the UX equivalent of bashing your fingers with a mallet.

I don't have the imagination to think of a reasonable scenario of how somebody could make software whose UI is so diametrically and perfectly the opposite of usable, let alone good.

Just... ugh.

@baldur Is there a proprietary app you do like?

@ErikUden I am certain you aren't talking about sweet mice, but I have no idea what you actually mean.

Learn German, they said. It's not that hard, they said.

I linked to this earlier, but this is genuinely great: a new ways counting enormous quantities of data that will give you something statistically likely to be very close to the correct answer for potentially a vanishing fraction of the computation cost of the deterministically correct answer: https://www.quantamagazine.org/computer-scientists-invent-an-efficient-new-way-to-count-20240516/

@mhoye Some people like to pretend that Science Will Solve Everything and yet we've only just figured out how to count stuff. 🤣

The most ridiculous thing about cop procedural shows is when they ask where a person was, and what they were doing at a specific time the person always has perfect and immediate recall. I'd be desperately trying to remember what day of the week that was, and trying to open my phone calendar. If I was the cop, I'd immediately be suspicious of the person who remembered exactly where they were and what they were doing.

@RickiTarr Also at the top of the list: everyone talks to the cops. Invites them in, answers their questions. In the real world: stfu, insist on a warrant, call a lawyer, and most of all, STFU.

@HunkThunderzone @RickiTarr Right, or the local Auntie with the catering business, or the part-time magician who reluctantly but hilariously teams up with the investigative reporter, or... Yeah. Fuck off. Especially if I've been doing crimes.

@msquebanh @Jorsh In my day it was bleach on the greens; you can write "Die Yuppy Scum" with a squirt bottle. (Or so I hear.)

But I like seedbombing better.
