KJ at the Sap House
From upstate NY over a year ago (!) during my friends wedding. KJ was just chilling in the door of a barn, and the light was just wonderful!

@cwebber I wonder if the AI actually _knows_ the history of beaker, and acts appropriately? If so, we're approaching the AI singularity for muppet-awareness...
Trying out https://www.remove.bg/ to create a quick avatar from my favorite muppet by removing the background.
The results were... horrifying?

(ps: there will be quite a few folks from the pixls.us community nerding out about photography!)
Community member Bri recently started doing her live stream of image editing again!
It also happens that she’s doing a giveaway of her old camera to help new users! Head over to her Patreon and check out the details to enter!

You don’t have to be a pledge to enter, but she’s super cool and helping others - so kick in a bit if you can spare it!
This Saturday at 2PM CST our friend Bri (ChicagoCameraSlinger on the pixls forums) will be starting up the Live Editing Sessions again by messing around with the new darktable modules on some of the amazing raw files provided by the PIXLS.US community.
Follow her at https://www.twitch.tv/chicagocameraslinger to get notified when she goes live!

The annual Libre Graphics Meeting is May 29 - June 2 in Saarbrücken, Germany this year and there will be a bunch of photo nerds from the PIXLS.US community in attendance! Come join us (or even better - present something - we'll help)!
@djoerd You can easily host those fonts yourself (which is what I'll do for the pixls.us stack). Pretty simple, you can see it in action in the first part of my blog css (https://patdavid.net/css/style.css).
They are really insidious (google fonts)...
@hankg Yay! We do self-host a matomo instance so we can still see how to improve, but we run all the services ourselves. :)
@djoerd - Yep - they are on the list right now to scrub and to self-serve. I'm trying to decide if I want to halt RawTherapee website development to do this real quick, or save it for a refactor and implementation of a new static site generator we're thinking about...
We've decided to remove all Google Analytics tracking from the site. Less tracking = happier users.

Now only we know what weird things you're searching the forums for...
Awesome new #PlayRaw image from Filip: "Thou couldst be angry and send us rain" - a view in South Africa through "God's Window".
Come grab the raw and share how you'd process this wonderful shot!

In preparation for #PublicDomainDay2019
This article includes a vetted list of works entering the Public Domain in the U.S. tomorrow in a helpful spreadsheet.
Prepare to celebrate!
Stop using #Discord if you value your #privacy in the least.
Well, it's an end of the year trifecta! First RawTherapee, then darktable, and now the wonderful folks at digiKam have a new (beta) release available! Congrats to the team!

@paperdigits @xuv @n8 I'd recommend thinking more abstract to the community level (of course I would).
We looked at booting up a mastodon instance ourselves but lacked manpower/ownership at the time.
We also were approached about taking over another instance on behalf of the owner to help them out, but had to decline for similar reasons.
We could boot up a pixelfed instance if there were interest and cost coverage. We have the expertise in-house if needed (right @paperdigits ? ;) ;)).
@n8 @paperdigits i think basically a default usable instance for new users now. It’s essential I think for adoption by new users (especially new to federated services in general).
🎄Happy Holidays!
