Currently getting into it, I'm a long time Premiere editor. It's that good. In many ways it feels more polished than Premiere and the grading tools are definitely way beyond what Premiere offers.

But then you probably don't need the Creative Cloud apps for your daily work. That's the where the real challenge comes in.

All this crap is why I'm currently considering Linux over macOS (which I'm currently on most of the time). In time, it might be the refuge for people suffering from computers and operating systems that wants to control rather than be controlled.

How about becoming the first major browser to support Gemini? Not the cryptocurrency that is.

True dat.

And after a year of intense use it's down to ten. Imagine what the battery life would be with twice the thickness.

I know this is HN, but I have to remind you most users don't fly airplanes every day. :)

Works on the native macOS client though.

This. No one I know uses the E2EE chats in Telegram. They go with the default and they heard Telegram is "secure". To add to the inconvenience the secure chats do not sync between devices.

...and I don't care! This is so stupid. Give me runtime! Motorola Moto Gx Power models are on the right track on the smartphone side. Awesome battery life, just a little beefier.

> When I delete my account I'm going to lose old conversations

I've deleted my account twice and each time I exported all my data to HTML (without uploading to Google). It's possible.

It's getting there with clients like https://f-droid.org/packages/de.spiritcroc.riotx and https://f-droid.org/packages/org.tether.tether

But just explaining the concept of clients in 2021 is an undertaking.

Matrix with nerds and nerd friends. Signal with friends and family.

Bug? More like a bird.

It's implemented here: https://www.kickscondor.com/meat-computer

How about https://webmention.io/ ? Fediverse-friendly and Twitter-friendly.

Awesome! https://archivebox.io/ should be mentioned in this context too.

With a locked down OS like iOS I don't know.

On Android there's plenty of choice. NewPipe is a dream[1]. Firefox with uBlock Origin works well. There's Kiwi (Chromium) with uBlock Origin too.

Why would any knowledgeable person put up with this? uBlock and enjoy.

How cool is dat!?

> It's one of, if not the, best UX chat message apps with so many features it's sort of mindblowing.

I'd go as far as saying it's by far the best. I have used the word unnerving to describe the fact it's so beyond the rest of the competition, yet free and without a viable business model.

I use Signal with friends and Matrix with other nerds.

> Search queries never worked well unless you entered exactly the string, including case and sometime whitespace.

This. OsmAnd is packed with advanced feautures but search is unusable which is unfortunate because that's how I'd usually use a map.

Could you please not use a centralized service like Telegram for organizing OSS.

I underand if you can't live with the limitations of IRC. But it's 2020 and we have Matrix. Protocols, not platforms.

There used to be a drag and drop macOS app based on the (py?) script.

> The very term “raw format” is confusing.

That's why I didn't mention "raw format", only raw. :)

> Sony’s “raw” .arw files that in fact come lossy from some cameras

Yeah, had one of those. First gen ⍺7. To me raw denotes that data has not been demosaiced. But, as you note, mosaiced data can also be cooked and lossy compressed.

I'm not saying ProRAW (i.e. multi exposure linear DNG) is a bad thing. In fact, I've been waiting for something like this for years. The output from my Pixel cameras with their computational features like Night Sight has floored me. But still, there's almost no editing headroom in these overly contrasty JPEGs. The future is merged!
