How are you organizing your photos?

For me it was always just folder based. For example YYYY-MM-DD - Eventname and then have sub folders like raw or export.

Depends on what feature of Lightroom you use. Give it a try and see for yourself.

> What solutions have you found?

* Putting the photos in folders, based on dates and event name. * over a decade ago I used digiKam in parallelle with Darktable.

Same for me. Managing images in Darktable alone is terrible but with Digikam it’s quite doable.

When I still used it, I only ever opened the folder with the files I wanted to edit.

I had folders based on dates YYYY.MM.DD - Eventname. No need for cli.

I still do the same now for CaptureOne to be honest.

That's not library management, and it's not a replacement for Lightroom/C1.

"If you give up on these features, it's a replacement" doesn't make it a replacement.

Well not if you use the library management, it's not no.

People often use other software as replacement for establishes software, even though not every single feature is available. I still would say Firefox can be a chrome replacement.

And I think this was a few years back. Imagine still having that in your readme.

Darktable is one of the few Apps that I loved and advocated for, only to land back on a pirated copy of CaptureOne. Which is I think the only pirated software that I still have installed.

I was super into darktable and had fun using it. The UI and UX was not an issue for me. Loved the masks. But over time it got harder and harder for me to get decent color grading from it. I don't know what changed. When I tried to communicate that on forum and git I got rather harsh responses.

Maybe I should try it again.

Pirated copies seem like a blackbox of potential malware, even if virus scans fail to find any problems (and they often give 10-30% false positives on most keygens/cracks). Even if the code is hosted in github, there has been plenty of cases of malware/viruses being hosted there too.

Yuuup.

Got it from an invite only torrent side, but yes, there is still a risk. But I don't want to pay 390 EUR (and not get any updates)

What kind of AI benchmarks would you like to see?

I don't know because I'm not a specialist in benchmarks. The article authors are supposedly specialists, so I'd expect them to identify appropriate benchmarks to make statements such as "while this is a good value for games and general purpose use, it fails for local AI as these benchmarks show", for example.

Newer models do have both the x3d cache and integrated GPU. For example AMD Ryzen™ 7 9800X3D

The 9800X3D iGPU is definitely handy in some situations, but I tried using it with a 4K wayland desktop for a little while and the performance is really not good enough just for that, unless you're OK with some sub-60hz redraw. I was hoping that the driver situation would be better than Nvidia (lots of issues failing to come back from sleep/unlock). The driver was more reliable but I couldn't live with the occasional choppy redraw. It's really not the kind of CPU that you'd buy and expect to use without a high-end GPU anyway.

Yes, but also because of official AMD marketing:

> with elite gaming performance from a powerful 8‑core AMD gaming processor

I would also call it a gaming CPU, because it is what it excels at. ¯\(ツ)/¯

It is indeed a desktop CPU chip, but the 3dV cache is real good for gaming, thus it's also marked in that region.

From the official AMD website:

> Whatever the setting or resolution, lead your team to victory with elite gaming performance from a powerful 8‑core AMD gaming processor featuring AMD 3D V‑Cache™ technology.
