mangogogo··on Darktable
this was my main way of managing and processing my RAWs for years until i started using DxO PhotoLab. darktable is an excellent way to learn how to start editing IMO because it simplifies settings a bit less than other tools, is free, and from my experience has better denoise/tone mapping modules out of the box than RawTherapee. for my needs the library/lightroom was also very intuitive and lightweight.

mangogogo··on Box3D, an open source 3D physics engine
i remember being hooked on Incredibots back when that was still a thing! that was how I heard about Box2D way back.
mangogogo··on A Dwarf Fortress in Docker
didn't you already post this earlier?
mangogogo··on Ask HN: Why can't we just make more RAM?
it's beyond parody
mangogogo··on Files are the interface humans and agents interact with
i was hoping the same, but then it turned out to be another article about LLMs.
mangogogo··on iPhone 17e
i absolutely do notice. i just don't care, or need it, personally
mangogogo··on MuMu Player (NetEase) silently runs 17 reconnaissance commands every 30 minutes
yeah like… no shit?
mangogogo··on What happened to tidal-dl-ng?
wondering the same. someone let me know if an alternative comes along (or if they continue development somewhere else) ...
mangogogo··on [dead]
oh look, another ai slop article.
mangogogo··on Google Antigravity
