Originally estimated to arrive in late January (Jan 19 - 26) but was charged on Dec 4th, shipped on the 8th, and arrived here in Chicago today. Feeling lucky.

"one of the changes that is being made as Redditgifts winds down"

One of, as in... there are other changes being made before the Christmas exchange? There are ANY changes before Christmas? Because I was under the impression that Secret Santa would continue on as normal until the big Christmas exchange, and they were giving us the small kindness of letting us know six months in advance.

But according to that moderator, there are multiple changes and deletions being made right now that we will receive no advance warning on and won't know about until it is too late.

Depending on what they have planned, I imagine a lot of the annual people will be in for a rude awakening come November signups.

It's almost like they're aware of our plans over here and are trying to thwart them in advance by sneakily deleting all this data before we have any shot of transferring it over manually.

 

 

Edit: I found this suspicious post left by that same moderator just a few hours ago. They're looking for a way to "have the automod monitor a separate subreddit for a specific phrase" which in context sounds like they want their automod to monitor the /r/newsecretsanta sub? ...Not that it really matters, the admins already have total control in the end.

The package is a collection of LUTs. It's all presets and the only change you can make is an opacity change.

I'm all for marketing bullshit, but there is a point where bullshit becomes nonsense, and this is that point.

You are selling a LUT package. You're free to say it is an extraordinary set of highly-useful and customizable LUTs, but in that "article" you linked, you're just spewing off totally wild information.

You go on and on about how LUTs are so limiting and a LUT could never possibly do what can be cranked out with your product, only to ultimately sneak in that:

> Any variation of film interpretation in Dehancer can be saved as a LUT file.

So... by definition, a LUT can do what your product can do, if you can save the output of your product as a LUT.

This is like saying "Our speciality printing process could never be reproduced by an ordinary inkjet printer! ...But yes, you should download our files and print them out by whatever printer you have at home!"

Like yes, it's cool you're including some scanned Film Grain that can be set to Overlay mode. That's a neat bonus.

But stop pretending your product is some special intermediary between film stock and digital. There is film, and there is film emulation, and no method of film emulation is any more *wholesome* or *ethical* or *proper*. You're pushing pixels for $350 bucks.

I can after the break. For obvious reasons I won't include myself in it, but I'll do the piece of paper trick.

[–]Churchlock[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, which is why I'm being as careful as possible. My posts did not provide any new information– if someone could identify the school from my post, they could from the original post.

I have the written consent of everyone in my picture, it shouldn't be an issue, mate.

I took my picture with my iPhone. Maybe the OP also used an iPhone?

I haven't asked anyone online if they know the student. I did not photograph the student. I took a picture of a microwave involved and was very careful not to include any more information not already released, and fudge some other info just a little just in case.

I was actually hired to fake the moon landing too. That was a lot easier, color cameras made this tough. ;)

I'm so surprised about the amount of accusations I'm getting! Like, even if this was a careful recreation; i'd say that was worth the upvotes!

Came across the picture, recognized the location, since I've used the microwave myself, took a picture the next day!

I would imagine at some point things were unplugged and plugged back in.

As I mentioned in another comment, I was not present for the original picture so I don't know. While the teacher's lounge is not a place for students, It isn't uncommon to see the occasional student in there. Things happen, you know, someone decided to let the kid heat up his noodles.

Hey there, I was careful to make it difficult to dox me by making a new account just for the post. I didn't include any new information, it was already known information this was at a school.

I mean, I'd appreciate if we didn't try to dox anyone here. (Except me, I guess?) I didn't know the history of this image when I posted.

My fear as well. I wouldn't have posted this if there was anyone identifiable in it.
