Like I don't think that prison is necessarily gonna reform anyone but I hate this idea that the church will, when (not sure on this specific one) it has a history of covering up abuse. Maaaaybe this guy has reformed but it doesn't sound like he's made things right by his victim, who due to a legal technicality cannot press charges against him, even though he's admitted to the crime. The system is broken, the church is broken.

To be fair it's not the sort of thing you think you'd have to make a law about. Should be kind of expected that companies do the bare minimum to keep their staff alive.

Dell said return to the office or else—nearly half of workers chose “or else” - Workers stayed remote even when told they could no longer be promoted. ( arstechnica.com )

Big tech companies are still trying to rally workers back into physical offices, and many workers are still not having it. Based on a recent report, computer-maker Dell has stumbled even more than most....

I suspect that this has nothing to do with productivity for most companies. I'm not smart enough or really concerned enough with why CEOs are massive assholes to look into this - but I figured it has to do with other stuff like property.

If you own a building and rent out space to cafes and gyms or you charge for parking etc there's a lot of incentives to get your little cash cows back in the building.

If it's not to qualify for jobs you can always just learn online for free. I suppose it depends on the degree but there's quite a lot you can just teach yourself these days.

You heard . Deep down you knew this was coming. Now all your art are belong to them. Time to move on to better things...

I hate adobe and have been actively trying to switch away from them for a while. I work in game development, though, and for some reason no one has made it as easy to directly modify the alpha channel of a texture. It's something I have to do a lot and is probably the one thing keeping me from using krita or affinity photo.

Nachorella ,

I'll try it again, looks like it's come some way since I last checked.

Nachorella ,

I might be misunderstanding but that sounds different to a specific alpha channel. Sometimes in game art you'll store extra information in the alpha channel of a texture. Or even pack four different grayscale images into the rgba channels of a single texture. Is it easy to do stuff like that?

Camo is hard to photograph, and not for the reason you think! (Main cam vs Selfie cam colors)

First up yes I'm a camo nerd. Metal Gear Solid 3 awakened something in me! Anyway every now and then I take different camo patterns into the woods and take photos as a reference to help people choose what works best for them. This one, Pencott Wildwood looks way too brown in most photos. Check it out!...

Nachorella ,

Could be the rear camera having a higher dynamic range and when it gets processed down to a lower dynamic range the extra information presents as higher contrast? Contrast is the enemy of camo I imagine. Just guessing, though.

Nachorella ,

if you are bad at technology (like me) there’s an app called beeper which does this for you. I’m sure it comes with some caveats, though.
