I enjoy my Fuji X system camera and the colours it produces. Sometimes, however, I'd like to do some RAW processing in Linux (Darktable) - but of course this means that I lose in-camera film simulation.

Since the camera can store the same photo in 2 different formats (RAW+JPEG), I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile to use a lot of these file pairs to try to get a LUT allowing to map Fuji RAW files to Fuji-Like JPEG results.

Is there anybody knowledgeable here to tell me whether this approach is doomed from the start or if it could be promising?

It's interesting how we twist our behaviour to accomodate the technology and not the other way around.

What worked great for us was not buying the thing in the first place.

Don't worry the wake word will be customizable soon enough;

While not completely customizable, it is already configurable. The Alexa/Echo devices currently support 4 wake words - Alexa, Amazon, Computer, and Echo.

I work with an Aleksa that I refer to frequently during calls, and was quite excited when I stumbled on the wake word setting in the Alexa app.

You can change it to Amazon, Echo, or Computer. None of which are likely to be names of people in your house--other than the Dollhouse exception for Echo. Most people just likely prefer a more personal name which is, almost by definition, an accepted human name.

Computer is great because it reminds me of Star Trek.

Something to be aware of:

most (all?) of these keyboards give the thumbs more to do than merely pressing the "space" key. This is awesome, because thumbs are strong and relatively quick.

However: with the exception of those sculpted keyboards (Dactyl-ManuForm et.al.), the thumb keys are triggered by lateral thumb movement, which can be troublesome.

I had absolutely no problems using traditional keyboards for ~30 years, but decided to proactively switch to a split keyboard (ReDox) nonetheless.

Mostly it's great, but I developed pain in my thumbs from the constant uncommon (to me) lateral thumb movement.

I replaced the thumb switches with lighter ones and remapped my keyboard layout to use only 4 of the available 12 thumb keys, but it's still not ideal.

I'm thinking about building one of those sculpted keyboards now.

This is one of the reasons I chose a Moonlander over an Ergodox for my first split keyboard, the ability to fold the thumb cluster down to an angled position seemed like it'd be more natural. So far in the two months I've been using it I think I was correct about that (that said, when closer to flat the Moonlander's cluster is at a much steeper angle off the rest and is less than ideal)

Also likewise on thinking about a sculpted build, the rabbit hole is deep with these things. Redox Manuform is where I'm currently leaning, I like the extra keys and the thumb cluster looks a bit better. Unfortunately that means going full custom, since while a few vendors sell prebuild Dactyl Manuforms no one seems to do the Redox version.

IME the Keyboardio Model 01 (sold out but used ones come up for sale, and they're working on a new model) addresses this issue well. Maybe worth looking into.

Without ever having heard of this case, I'd like to add two, maybe unrelated, datapoints:

* I know Matthias Kirschner personally (though not very good). This story does not fit the character I met.

* There is a campaign of disinformation, character assassination and harrassment going on against the Debian project, the FSFE, and their members (maybe other projects as well). This has been going on for multiple years now, presumably all orchestrated by the same individual, impersonating a multitude of different persons.

Edit:

I also met Malina Galina in person, she made a positive impression on me. I just found out the linked text also shows up on her twitter account.

Yet the courts validated her assertions.

I take that as entirely trumping this attempt to deny or excuse the inexcusable.

According to who though? She made bold claims, without providing any actual proof in the form of court documents. Why jump to assume she's in the right?

Did she hide her identity?

According to her, the courts validated her assertions. According to the FSF, they did not. https://fsfe.org/about/statement-20201220.html

Unless someone pulls the court documents and gets them translated, we are very much operating in a word-against-word situation

Can't comment on the merits of the product itself.

That in the first five minutes of this post being online, several users more or less claim that this has changed their lives in their first-ever comment on HN strikes me as a little odd however.

(Yes I'm aware that this is also my first-ever comment on HN.)

This got shared on their discord, but I s2g that it really is the case, given that I use a similar tool called Roam, which recently had such a big spike of attention (in part due to Thomas Frank's video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxOffM_tVHI) and somewhat popularized what Obsidian is kind of aiming for here (so much that Roam had to close registrations due to massive traffic influx). Plenty of ppl just swear by Roam at this point, including its creator who has big vision for a thing. Here is his white paper on a thing: https://roamresearch.com/#/app/help/page/Vu1MmjinS.

I can attest to that as well, and given that Roam is unavailable, would suggest to try out this alternative that is pretty decent for what it does (even though Conaw (Roam's creator) does think it doesn't exactly align with what Roam really seeks to do, yk the thing)

Edit: to elaborate, I am not raving about either Roam or Obsidian, I am raving about they approaches they provide, and after nearly a month of using Roam it honestly feels like a game changer to me. Solved my art block a bit as well.

We have been in private beta for a few months already, with 5000+ beta testers and a community. We did let them know that we're doing a "Show HN" today.

Hope that explains things!

Thanks for taking the time to reply! I guess it does explain things ...

Best of luck with the product, also +1 to the suggestion of an open source client from a sibling thread!

Yes! We really want people to be able to leave their knowledge bases as a legacy to their grandchildren, so we'll do everything it takes.

I've been using Obsidian for a short while after seeing a comment here on HN. I've used a lot of desktop notetaking apps, and this one really is different. It's the app HN commenters would write themselves. I expect it to be very successful in the next few years. It hasn't changed my life, because I'm not going to trust it with anything important right now, but they do have an ethusiastic community.

There's a new video out today if you want an overview:

I've been using Obsidian for about a week, and it may be the first time I've ever felt compelled to comment in an app's user forum. I even installed Discord so that I could subscribe to the Obsidian channel and watch its (rapid) progress. I am quite excited by this tool.

It does seem suspicious but personally the only reason I jumped in was because I’m genuinely so happy with this software and I believe that it should be tried out by as many people as possible!

I've been beta testing Obsidian, and only rarely comment on HN. But I'm excited enough about it that I wanted to share my thoughts.
