Isn't this aimed at people already using Resolve for video work who want to do still images too?

Never realised Wii had a .WAD format. I guess it can run doom though :)

Fantastic. Wishing you all the very best. A very close family member just with Stage 4 just got the pass for the next 3 months. We're 3 years in now. For them, the immunotherapy seems to be working, the radiotherapy has actually left the area affected worse (althogh we'd have never known the outcome if it wasn't tried, so it was a price worth taking).

I do think a properly hand-written readme it better, but if not, here's a blatant plug - https://github.com/joelio/plain-english

Smearing, hah, yea. The company is dodgy as fuck and you know it.

edit: just looked at your comment history too, explains a lot.

Always interesting when you criticise Palantir on here you get downvoted, almost as if they have an "outreach department"

Just ask Wes Streeting and Peter Mandelson.

They've reworked some planning and a reduced the waiting list, slightly. Not exactly worth the money (and letting them have ALL of our data).

Also, LBC exclusive about £250 million contact that came about because of Mandelson breaking today.

I mean if it wasn't obvious from the get go they're, well, dubious, given the grandson of Owsald Mosley is the UK CEO.

I moved from iTerm2 to ghosttty / wezterm (for a bit). Moved due to the AI inclusions (despite them being moved). I've had no issues, in fact, I prefer ghostty to iTerm2 now.
