  • Wouldn’t it be great if independent auditors were standard, responsible for holding companies accountable for their data security practices, coupled with a rating system akin to those used in the banking sector? Before paying for a service, consumers would be aware of how secure the service is. Say A++ or AAA.

    It would be a pain in Silicon Valley’s ass for sure, but it would go a long way toward giving consumers peace of mind and bringing about a whole new industry in the process.











  • What a coincidence, I was looking at the same thing today. I kept seeing recommendations for Affinity Photo, apparently it has a wide range of features for both Windows and macOS users. It’s got PSD file support, RAW support, masking, layering, retouching, blemish removal, curving, and a comprehensive set of 16-bit filters.

    It’s around $50 I think but you own the license forever.

    EDIT : I just noticed that this is the Open Source community so I just wanted to mention that Affinity is clearly not that.



  • Hey, I’m sure I’ll be the first to be downvoted, but I’ve maintained a self-made sourdough starter for 8 years. It’s survived spills, falls, mishandling, and everything you can imagine. I’ve made hundreds of pounds of dough and even started a side pizza business. We’ve kept it in the refrigerator for months and fed it equally outside when active. We never use whole wheat, only choosing high-protein white all-purpose flour, mixing it 1:1 with equal parts water every day when active. Good luck—it’s not rocket surgery, at least from my experience.

    Don’t stress it, feed it everyday for at least a month, treat it like a pet- good luck!
