I HIGHLY recommend Libro.fm , not only are they DRM free but you can chose a local bookshop to support with your purchases a lot like Bookshop.org (I only buy books online from them) and local bookshops.

(that's my referral link to Libro.fm, feel free not to use it - you earn books by referrals )

I haven't used any #microsoft or #Adobe products willingly in years and have been moving away from #google as well.

En bref, OutDesign permet de libérer les fichiers InDesign d'#Adobe, qui ne propose normalement que très peu de formats d'exports pour se libérer de ce #jardinclos. OutDesign résoud ce problème, et le résultat direct de cela est la possibilité de lire le livre Déborder Bolloré en web, en EPUB, et de l'imprimer à la maison en A4 et en A5.

The enshittification of the large language models continues.

On top of its already extortionately expensive cloud plans, Adobe is now charging users for credits each time they use generative AI features:

"Generative credits allow the use of generative AI features powered by Firefly in the applications to which you are entitled. There is only one type of generative credit which can be used for Standard and Premium generative AI features. However, to use premium features, you must be on a plan with access to those features."

Imagine laying off actual human artists, designers, and photographers for this crap to save money.

Then having to pay an economic rent on top of your monthly subscription to big tech.

I'm generally extremely pleased with Adobe's Project Indigo, an iPhone camera app with lots of computational photography-boosted image quality goodness. But I will say, it is prone to crashing on my iPhone 14 Pro, and on a warm bike ride it gave me an overheating warning. #photography#Adobe

Good morning Fedi friends!

Not much to report on the #selfhosting side... I need to update #Ghost to its latest version but I have another day of filming ahead... so maybe I'll get into it tomorrow morning while my husband takes care of our daughter. VPS Snapshot -> a couple of commands and the new Ghost should be updated in give or take 10 minutes (if all goes well, ha!)

My point today was to say that being a beginner is really humbling. I've been a total newbie in the self-hosting / Linux space. How fun it is to learn new things!

And now I'm experiencing the newbie feeling in my professional field - filmmaking - as I am learning a new editing system: #DaVinciResolve.

I started out editing in #FinalCut Pro in film school... then moved over to #AdobePremiere when Apple remade Final Cut from scratch, simplifying it for beginners. And now that Adobe is on the highway to enshittification and is hiking prices to extortionate levels, I am moving to DaVinciResolve.

When I moved from Final Cut to #Adobe Premiere I imported Final Cut shortcuts... so it was really easy to get started fast. Professional editors use keyboard shortcuts for EVERYTHING and almost never go to the menu for actions... Well, there is no such thing as importing shortcuts into DVR, so I need to learn its shortcuts from scratch. And it's a lot of fun! A little embarrassing to say that yesterday it took me 10 minutes and multiple searches to figure out that to cut a clip at a specific point I had to use command-B.

It's super humbling to feel like a beginner in film editing - when, in my previous life, I used to spend 10 hours a day every day editing or doing motion graphics. I hit the proverbial 10,000 hours many times over.

I love this "newbie" feeling and I never get tired of learning.

Wishing everyone a great day!
