An Update About My New Quest of Leaving Adobe Lightroom

Yesterday night, I spent nearly an hour reading articles and forum posts about the implications of closing my Adobe Photography subscription1. The implications and how to recover my photos differ for Lightroom Classic and Lightroom CC. It’s not that hard, but it will be a tedious process if I want to keep some organization that the Lightroom catalog currently provides. I’ll put this project on my list of things to do in 2024. This will give me some time to plan for the migration2.

  1. I subscribe to the photography plan which gives me 2TB of storage, which is currently used at 110GB. ↩︎

  2. Or change my mind. 🤦🏻‍♂️ ↩︎

Pixelfed Is Working on “Solo”

I’m really curious about this. The idea of having my personal instance of Pixelfed is tempting. I like the idea of having full control and not being at the mercy of some other admin, updating the codebase as I wish while being part of the Pixelfed federation1. It’s expected to be released on October 20th. I should start planning my domain name and username.2

  1. Of course, other instance could decide to block mine, but that’s not going to happen, unless I’m being a bad actor in the federation. ↩︎

  2. Does that mean Micro.blog would need to do something in order to cross post to my personal instance? ↩︎

I wish there was a way to subscribe to a RSS feed within Day One. This way, I could delete my IFTTT account. 1😐

  1. IFTTT read my Micro.blog RSS feed to save a copy of my posts to my personal journal on Day One. ↩︎

While Elon Musk wants the Twitter brand to disappear from the earth’s surface, you can see the Twitter icon and references everywhere on the web. X is not taking over at all. Services or apps that depend on Twitter for logging in, news sites asking people to join them via social networks, apps offering a sharing action or whatever the needs are, most continue to use Twitter’s original branding. In support of those who refuse to let go the little bird, here’s my contribution1.
