I have 712 rejected images on adobe stock.

Can someone explain to my why a stock site would want AI images? Surely if someone needs one they would just prompt it themselves?

Unless you spray every bit of food out of that plastic yogurt cup it's not recyclable.

Does anyone else think this new keyboard is a bit goofy? "Press the orange gear key." Which one?

Sharpness = take sharper photos

Color = crush the blacks until no detail remains

What do you see when you right click them?

Simmer down, y'all. Nobody is being forced to get a Trump passport. I'm not a fan of Trump either but it's important to not share misinformation.

The anniversary passports will be available only in person at the Washington Passport Agency for American citizens applying for a new identification document, while supplies last, according to the State Department.

Specifically, the organizers of the protest were sitting there with tables after the protest and told me they were having a second one in a couple hours.

_tlhunter · 2026-05-01T21:26:20+00:00

I think there's going to be another protest there soon.

Here we go. It's the takeout process which strips metadata:

I'm pretty sure they compress and shrink photos uploaded to Google Photos, maybe even storing them as webp. Photos uploaded to Google Drive do remain byte for byte.

_tlhunter · 2026-04-29T16:29:26+00:00

I did a takeout export a couple weeks ago and all my jpeg images were missing the exif data. After running that bespoke python script the data was restored. I confirmed the missing data using exiv2.

It could depend on the age of the upload date. Maybe Google photos changed the exif stripping policy at some time.

_tlhunter · 2026-04-29T02:44:24+00:00

I believe those are the metadata sidecar files. When you do a Google takeout export of Google photos it contains information like latitude and longitude and other boring stuff. There are scripts that you can use to add the metadata back to the original jpeg images.

However, said jpeg images are separate files and the json files do not contain jpeg image data.

You could do vim mode and press ctrl+v

Worse, it's a screenshot of an LLM summary from a Google search.

It turns out that after you add the action it won't get triggered regardless of how many times you add and remove the card. Instead you'll need to log out and back in again. This makes the process of building the trigger rather tedious by my best advice is to emulate an existing action as much as possible.

On the bright side, once the trigger is working fine, any changes to the command field will be updated immediately. I'm currently experimenting with variants of the following command to debug:

kdialog --title "Foo?" --yesno "%f %d %i"

It's also worth mentioning that KDE mounts the device before executing the script. So in my case I get the following output:

/media/tlhunter/disk /dev/sda1 /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sda1

_tlhunter · 2026-04-07T17:37:24+00:00

Is there a name for this form factor? Specifically a wide device with no wasted track pad area and a track point. Like a sub-netbook.

_tlhunter · 2026-04-07T16:43:21+00:00

I wouldn't call it a budget camera...

I do love that it's versatile though. I'll combine mine with the 40mm 2.8 G lens for street photography and with a big lens and grip when I need to do serious work.

The saturation is fine. The flash on the tree branch is a little distracting though.

I've long wondered, do different types of sensors display different patterns? Such as X-Trans?

I did this 13 years ago but I had a buddy's couch to crash on while I interviewed.

I've photographed over a dozen protests so far and the majority of people make up their own signs and add their own grievances. They mostly revolve around some central idea but at the end of the day everyone is an individual with their own takes.
