Strauss-Howe generation theory is nonsense; read their own book to see how all this "Gen X", "Millennial" stuff is literally just marketing, not social science. These terms are useless. It's embarrassing how much discourse has been captured by this.

currently finding out that i can't screencast from my laptop to my tv because it's running google tv which apparently replaced the industry standard miracast with google cast, which only allows you to cast from chrome, which i don't have installed, because i don't fucking want it. fuck off

one of the things I find most frustrating about creativity on the modern internet isn't just the many, often arbitrary, limitations enforced by corporations, but people's willingness or even eagerness to surrender to them

from "seggs" and "unalive" to nudity bans to filtering out queer keywords to llms telling you off for asking about things that are totally normal in fiction, huge swathes of the global human experience and imagination are roadblocked off by random people in far-away offices

wait so krita actually can do non destructive post editable auto levels as well
is the drawing program secretly better at photo editing than the photo editing program or what

i hate the software industry sometimes. adobe spent decades building photoshop so of course they're way ahead of everyone else. and then after 25 years of development they took what they'd made and locked it away behind an extortionately priced subscription package and apparently have barely even improved the fucking software since they did that

oh i found another feature affinity doesn't have that i actually do use regularly for conventional photo editing.....
i want to be able to apply auto levels to a photo in a way that's non-destructive and lets me see what it actually did. like applying it to an adjustment layer. photoshop had that, affinity doesn't. bleh

been trying to excise adobe products from my life & i don't think one photoshop alternative really covers all bases but maybe between affinity photo for conventional photo editing and krita for more arty shit i can get by. i have used krita for (abortive attempts at) drawing before but i didn't really consider it for image editing. but ofc you can do that too. why not. i just did this with it
