2024.11.30 07:30 blast-from-the-80s Welche (kostenlose) Software um schnell Fotos zu sichten& auszusortieren?
Hallo zusammen. Ihr kennt das bestimmt auch: Nach einem Tag mit der Kamera kommt man abends nach Hause und hat hunderte Fotos auf der Speicherkarte, von denen der allergrößte Teil sowieso gelöscht wird.
Genau dafür suche ich noch eine gute Software-Lösung. Generell benutze ich Lightroom um meine Fotos zu verwalten, würde diesen Arbeitsschritt aber schon gerne vor dem Import in Lightroom ausführen. Ich finde es nämlich suboptimal, dass Lightroom direkt damit anfängt, alle Fotos in die Cloud zu laden, wenn ich danach die meisten sowieso wieder lösche.
Generell will ich folgendes machen: * Alle JPGs löschen (ist in Lightroom auch eher umständlich), das geht wahrscheinlich im Windows Explorer am einfachsten * Schnell durch die RAWs blättern. Unscharfe oder sonstwie unbrauchbare Fotos direkt löschen. Bei Serienbildaufnahmen das beste auswählen und alle anderen löschen. Dazu sollte man die Fotos natürlich auch auf 100% zoomen können.
Vielleicht habt ihr ja eine Empfehlung für mich, wie ich das am schnellsten machen kann. Wie macht ihr das?

Feeling overworked, exhausted yet bored doing academia since last few days. How do you deal with that? I have so much work with deadlines next week that I can't go out. Also my days are going unproductive because I think my brain has given up; its just me blankly staring at screen till midnight.

2024.11.30 07:30 Urban_will Re: Mirror's Edge and Real World Politics, Part II
Weirdly I couldn't reply to this using a comment, probably because it is too long lol.
So, basically there have been some posts discussing social commentary in ME1. I did a response midway that. This is a response after reading one of them. I'll link it here: https://www.reddit.com/mirrorsedge/s/I0wTUGlN6c
While I have already made a post expanding some of your initial themes and points, I'll try to directly answer your post in detail here because gods, that one is long enough!
-About the form of government: it is neoliberalism at its peak. Milei's Argentina is a great example. What's more surreal in this form of government is Pope standing a chance to win the elections- makes us think maybe the majority of the population is not happy with the current affairs. As people are not happy with 57% poverty in Argentina right now. But electing a candidate in the democracy of the corporations require corporate amounts of money - my theory is that both Pope and the Runners were funded by corporations that Callaghan and their smaller lapdog Pirandello Krueger wanted to topple down, and that's how he got to the elections race (of course these fundings would come at a cost - that's the nature of the democracy of the richest). That's also why Callaghan wanted Pirandello Krueger to take over the police - the police is portrayed as being very human and sensitive people that want in the end to serve people (At least for Kate and Miller).
If people starting revolting again and a firing line was required, Callaghan would be more comfortable hiring mercenaries that could be replaced if refused to do it.
-About the surveillance state: it's meant to be about controlling the masses and putting them in check in Mirror's Edge because, as you said, the writers, even left leaning Rhianna Prachett, have an ideological bias of being apologetic to profit based motives, but in real life is both about control and about profiting with people's data in order to do better marketing that caters for them. Look at the Cambridge Analytica's Scandal in Trump's 2016 election. To this day Trump is more of a product being sold for votes than a man.
The writer's ideology of capitalism apology is portrayed as the Big Brother, 1984 stuff, a very anticommunist book that portrays the state itself as the villain while ignoring the state is a tool of the dominant class. And in Mirror's Edge the dominant class are the CEOs, much as it is in our world, and therefore the government is a tool of the corporations. That's why I see the political coup of murdering pope as Corporations going for each other throats. Why kill a candidate that has no actual way of winning? Unless he is funded by some corporations and has a shot at winning...
-That doesn't fit exactly in fascism: because there is only the police state angle of it. Aka neoliberalism, which is always supported by a police state.
The government we do have in Mirror's Edge is a corporate dictatorship with white and bland makeup, they disguise themselves in the "there's no crime here" discourse while exporting crime, poverty and police brutality to the ghettos in Old Town (as seen in the comics).
-The civil unrest: is an expression of people losing their hard-earned rights and freedoms. People wanting to control us will appeal to our moral panic over urban violence and promise safety if we sell our freedoms away. "The monitoring, banning, was for the greater good - but good isn't the same as right." And like in our real world, in every country, from UK to Argentina, we have civil unrest fought with the implementation of the police state and government brutality.
-Faith is a token: IMO - yes and no. I'd say that she and the runners begin the stoy as a token, but Rhianna Prachett's excellent and verosimmilar writing takes the prize here: The Runners don't manage to be tokens very long, being the connective tissue of the remnants of popular resistance within the city.
Faith - "Why target us? We're no threat! Jacknife - "Classic rules of warfare - break down the rules of communication."
Pope somehow looked into Pirandello Krueger 's dealings - probably because he might have paid for part of Ropeburn's service by doing lawyerimg jobs for him - and ended up learning about project Icarus. He tried warning Kate and Faith but Celeste was unto him and was forced to kill him. Or maybe killing him was part of Callaghan's plan all along. Either way, it was fortunate that Kate and Faith were in the scene - both CPF and Runners were exactly what PK and Callaghan wanted marginalized and out of the picture.
So Faith and Merc were all about survival, probably did jobs for corps aswell
"as long as you pay and your rep ain't poison" (Merc, in one of the story trailers).
Until Kate got framed. As I said, verisimilitude is a mark of a great writer. At the end of the game, there is no more turning back. Merc is Killed, Faith and Kate are considered terrorists, the surveillance servers are teared down, and Pope is more likely than not turned into a political martyr for his story with the Libertas/November Movement. That's the tragedy of Mirror's Edge Catalyst: If the narrative progressed there would be no way to pleasantly remove how political the whole narrative got.
Jacknife "You can't live your life on the edge forever Faith - sooner or later, you'll have to JUMP!"
Jacknife and Celeste wanted to do more than survive and their desire was VERY GENUINE - the noir tragedy of their tale is that they both sided with a outright fascist mercenary corporation in order to do it. If Faith didn't kill them, their chosen path would surely lead to death either way, maybe to silence witnesses.
Celeste "Survival is overrated. You gotta live a little too."
In the first game, Faith was tangled and happened to be the wrong person at the wrong time - true to both noir and sci Fi (blade runner, for instance). In the second game, she was considered the chosen one borne to lead the revolution from day one. If the first Faith lead a revolution, it would be by her own efforts rather than being an Icon
(pretty sure they said "hey Hunger Games made a lot of money, let's do like hunger games so we make a lot of money as well!)
Faith in ME1 Already starts as a capable female protagonist, but her arc is being radicalized by what happens around her and starting to actually care about politics - you know, the thing kicking her door down and threatening to give Kate a death sentence by arresting her. She develops into a much more tridimensional and complex character.
Cue the dialogue where Cel tries to make Faith give up her chase for Pope's killer - maybe to not blow her cover, maybe because she cared about faith. I think it's a bit of both.
Faith "I keep thinking of my folks. They thought this place was worth fighting for."
Ultimately Miller's enlisted as well - everything to save Kate, who they both care for.
"Still Alive" is a song about that. No matter how you try to keep out of politics, politics is the art of living amongst people. Politics will get into your life sooner or later. Even though Faith was trying to be edgy and independent in the end there are things in the City even she has to fight for. Unlike Jacknife, who sold himself because he lost ties to who he used to be. "I don't mess with politics" his own words (he certainly does benefit from genocidal politics though).
In my opinion - and I'll use Black Lives Matter as an example - Kate is much more of a token than Faith is. The whole "changing an structure from inside" with something as corrupt as the police is very disproven in the recent years. The function of the police in a capitalist society is to protect property and privileges (such as racial privileges) at all costs, people's lives come second. There's no entering a baby killing structure to change it from the inside - you are at least considering killing babies to enter.
I think we agree that Kate's belief of police serving the people being confirmed would be a point towards Corporate and capitalist ideology.
-About Nordic "social democracy" - as proved in the battlefields Easter egg in one of the elevators, the city is in a developed portion of a world where proxy wars happens at the other side of. That's also realistic. The little quality of life that developed nations have are not made in spite of the poverty of exploited nations, but because of said exploitation. Of course they will cling to or cater to institutions such as the police, or the democracy of the obscenely rich, or the law, for these institutions benefit them much more than us, their exploited counterparts.
But! And that's where the social commentary part comes in: what I think is revolutionary in ME's setting is looking at these said "evidences of progress" and saying "you know what? life in this rich democracy is also not that great!" and show how much of a corporate controlled dystopia that can become. If you learn to be human and have empathy , it's also not great to be in the shoes of the opressors, and it's a short-lived advantage, for a simple instance of you being fired can make you share the fate of a homeless person in but a few months.
-the vagueness: I agree that all these themes I've been mentioning have been much dumbed down and it requires much heavy digging to get to the point where I see the script as it is, because a lot of the script has been cut down - and I take it it wasn't just for the ambience and solitude this game brings you. Probably the money people got upset with some elements and asked the developers to defang the political message to have the aesthethics of being revolutionary while making these concepts hard to grasp if you are an average person and not some ME and politics addict like I am.
But sometimes art and writing is too good for their message for even the ones that want to do corporate censorship - like Elon Musk, though he doesn't get half the flak for censorship as your average government would - to ban. They know how sometimes the social commentary strikes a chord and that it will sell really well. So they leave it be.
That's how we got movies like Parasite being everywhere.
TL;DR: The elements rooted in reality that ended up being inserted in Mirror's Edge are not there despite the writing lack of quality, it was blurred on purpose by the companies making them and if I can get to them and explain like I just did, it attests the quality of the writing.

2024.11.30 07:30 cactusjmal Ever wonder why they decided to make a plot where bill almost dies after accidentally eating a peanut sandwich?
It just seems odd they put that plot in? They never really mention the allergy besides the Halloween episode. It seems like that episode is about to turn into something like Sam and Neal going to a cheer banquet and bill almost getting too close to their teacher.

2024.11.30 07:30 Frank_The_Communist A few questions about celibacy
Hello. I'm a 20 years old guy that,for personal reasons I'm not discussing about,I decided to become celibate. The fact is. I don't fully understand in practice and in theory what shall this implies. My questions are the following: Does celibacy indeed means just an abstinence from secual relationship only or from romantic relationship too? Does it concern masturbation and self pleasure? How do I cope with loneliness?
Thanks for the attention. Love to all of you.
Good luck
Frank.

Had a full-blown conversation with a Massive mantis-like creature. I was the size of a flea next to his head. Zoom out and it could "walk" from North Carolina to California in 5 sseconds.
Anyone experience. I keep saying "zoom out" with my friends, maybe a better word is there.
I just can't remember any of the conversation. But it was a helpful being. A little intimidating, and I feel like it's been observing me all this time, but I could finally see/hear it.
