@Janet photoshop, any version really.

the general process:

- load the photo, resize it to be small (i usually get best results between 250-600 pixels on the long side)
- file > export > save for web (you can resize it here too, make sure to use "nearest neighbor" scaling)
- change file type to .gif
- the main things to change in this window are color count & algorithm, and the dithering style.

this one was 93 colors, "windows" color algorithm, diffusion dithering style.

experimenting with emulating low-tech in photo processing. here's this evening's sunset from my neck of the woods.

@Pam4Aruba Yeah, I even participated in a CoSoTalk where I gave advice to new gardeners. There's no magical method of growing plants, just gotta learn what each plant needs before ya grow it. It's nice to feel the sun again, that's for sure...

You'll settle in. Good to hear you're enjoying it.

Just trying to stay afloat, tend to my house and plants, and not go crazy with all the goings-on in the world, ha.

@pendrag Yeah, same, I wasn't getting any results after waiting. Simplified mode is great, though, especially for being such a new feature.

@pendrag That's good to know. I will say, I went to the firehose stream and it wasn't working. Maybe I needed to wait a second longer. I'll try again too.

@pendrag Thanks. I already knew how to do it, it just wasn't actually filtering anything. Just tried again by filtering the word "and" - nothing happened.

Do filters work in simplified mode yet? Didn't have much luck the last time I tried.

Call it intuition: I log in for the first time in days and CoSoGuard immediately informs me that my data was in a breach. Off to change some passwords...

@Pam4Aruba Hey, sorry I'm just getting back to you, I haven't been on. Thank you for the compliment.

It is! I'm happy to see my plants blooming and to not be freezing my ass off.

Finding a new routine when your plate gets fuller can be hard, but a way is always found. Hope you're enjoying the new job.

I'm hanging in there. 👍🏻

so, uh. what's the plan to defeat the robber barons this time?

not long until spring. doodled a grape hyacinth - these come up in my yard every year.

hot take: americans trapped in poverty due to corporate hegemony & those who are being actively targeted in the name of "politics" should also be eligible to apply for refugee status in more developed countries.

can't wait to see these guys next month. they're touring all over the usa soon - usually cheap (or free) shows and they'll knock your socks off without saying a word.
