Came to say the same. Who TF does this? Did they think to have a full disk backup first? Could they run it on a COPY of their database? Could they unleash it on a VM copy of a machine?

When you try dumb things, expect dumb things to happen!

This. And it pretty much flies in the face of the intermodal transportation system.

It's a nice idea, but who equips their trailer with this to save money for the stranger hauling it around?

Or doughnuts at Kohls

Agreed.

After years where, for example, I delivered flowers, but couldn't tell the Latina maid "put the flowers on the...uh...um...", I resolved to do better.

Currently residing in a pretty diverse area. I take every (rare) opportunity to use my Spanish, and regularly converse in my head, so it's something like ready when the need arises.

My son used Google Translate extensively during his remote (COVID) year 1 Spanish class. Told him not to, but you can't ride the kid all day with a job to keep.

OTOH, the school district provided him with a substitute teacher for the class who didn't speak Spanish either, so there's enough blame to go around.

But after missing ALL of the education from year 1, he had no foundation for year 2, and kept cheating his way through.

I'm disappointed, but he'll bear the cost as he goes on. I hope he's learned his lesson, but it seems like he's learned he can get away with it

Every time I think we've set an upper bound for stupidity, some numbnuts goes and breaks the curve.

The "generation loss" things was an analogy, not a technical description. I know it doesn't work the same way.

In any case, you can build a shitty house with the best hammer. Lack of user skill or design customer sophistication are not reasons to create crap tools.

A good image editor hides almost all of that complexity from the user anyway.

It's not about CMYK though - that's an even smaller gamut than RGB.

I had a look yesterday and GIMP eventually added color management capabilities. Good for them. Still don't like GIMP tho.

The first time I tried GIMP (after I got the cavemen out of my office) it was a direct RGB editor. You were painting directly into the RGB pixels. That's fine I suppose if you are editing icons for a computer screen - there's a place for tools like that.

The problem is that RGB color spaces, even the "large gamut" spaces you find on better monitors, laptops and Apple equipment represent a fairly small subset of human vision. Ditto the "Pro Photo RGB" gamut: it's bigger than the "standard" sRGB color profile gamut that's common in run of the mill monitors, cameras, printers, but doesn't approach human vision.

For a photo editing program, you need a color space that is as large or larger than human vision. You're doing your editing in that color space (though the human operating the software may not realize), and you're seeing an sRGB or other translation of the color on your monitor. Exporting the file to an RGB or CMYK (or other) file format fixes the image into one of those color spaces (and assigns or includes a color profile if the software and user are doing it right).

Most of this is transparent to the user (not the business of color profile, though: the machine can't usually guess for you)

Editing photos directly in RGB is the equivalent of a video production company (back in analog days) creating and editing videos exclusively on VHS tape. There's information loss every time you make a generation copy.

There's also information loss every time you make a digital transformation. Using a large color space behind the scenes minimizes that transformation information loss.

I've got to try OnShape, get conversant with it.

I assume someday there will be done move off of F360 for some as yet unknown reason.

The move from my old version of Lightwave 3D (it was all I had, all I knew well) to Fusion360 was hard, but a very good thing. Don't wanna be caught flat-footed again.

Yes, Affinity is "also not Photoshop" but comes closest to the mark. And you can now apparently WINE it, but I wish there was a supported native tool that doesn't suck for professional work. A lot of Linux devs apparently think people want to work with native RGB pixels. Uh, no.

And I don't get the rationale for Fusion 360's unavailability on Linux. It's cloud-oriented, constantly downloading parts of itself over again and you have to be signed in to use it, even on the non-commercial license. It's not like a monolithic app on a CD from the 1990s. And I don't want "almost as good". I'd like this app.

Print volume is only 25mm^3, but it should fit.

PETG has a higher glass temperature.

Worked the other way in The Andromeda Strain.

And making a city of 20 million like Lagos uninhabitable.
