your first sentence not all verbs :D

Do you only want to geotag, without editing the files any further? If yes, you can do this on the command line with exiftool or exiv2.

If you are also going to edit your photos, then AFAICT darktable preserves all EXIF data, though I am not familiar specifically with the HDR data you refer to. It allows geotagging by dragging on a map.

The same applies to all other app stores, there won’t be any to move to.

on my work computer (Windows 11), I’m pretty sure this was the default and I didn’t have to configure it to do that? I use this all the time because part of my current job is to send screenshots to people in order to verify that software is working correctly. :D

Shotcut does everything I need and tends to “just work”, better than most others. I think I tried OpenShot once or twice and it didn’t work so well, but don’t remember details.

I can think of plenty that is arguably wrong with at least the GDPR: the definition of “processing of personal data” is so broad that it can arguably cover way more than intended, and the extraterritorial effect sets a precedent that governments can regulate the Internet beyond their borders. But that is off-topic here and I’m not exactly in a mood to write essays about it…

The DMA is one of the very rare examples where it’s a good thing that governments are regulating technology. Most of the time it is a bad thing, but requiring interoperability and sideloading – it’s kind of sad that it’s necessary to solve that by regulation and market forces alone don’t work, yet here we are.

I prefer to think in these terms: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/moderation-is-different-from-censorship

Without exception? No, I don’t think that’s true, it’s just the loudest ones, unfortunately.

For genuine free speech supporters like me, this is a problem because it makes the phrase “free speech” look bad and thereby contributes to a decline in it.

mainly they are a lot less relevant nowadays than they used to be, it used to be (late 2000s, early 2010s) that a lot of Internet culture came originally from 4chan memes, no longer the case

In the particular story that this thread is about, neither is happening: the UK is fining a site. I admit that it’s not exactly the same thing; the point is that it’s the same concept of national governments believing they have any business at all enforcing their laws on foreign websites.

~2006: haha can you believe it? China and Thailand and other such countries are blocking sites like Google, Wikipedia, YouTube, etc. because there’s stuff on there that their governments don’t like, how awfully authoritarian of them to think that their laws apply to everyone in the world, we liberal democracies in the west are a lot better than that fortunately

2025:

Yes, fighting crime (especially such uncommon crime) is a lot more important than privacy or non-censorship. That is definitely the right attitude for a free society. Nothing bad can come from it. /s

John Perry Barlow was right with his Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace.

pretty sure they don’t, those last things are already (or will be?) banned for young people in Australia :(

If I hadn’t had the Internet growing up, I would have 0 (zero) positive memories of my preteen and teenage years. People who want to take that away from future generations are truly pure evil. I have no other words.

Yes. People interested in news about that should consider subscribing to !bad_internet_bills@lemmy.sdf.org where I regularly post news articles I can find about it. I don’t always crosspost them here.

I think OP might be looking for something like nomacs or Gwenview except for PDFs instead of images. I don’t have the answer to the question, but I can see what OP is looking for.

Those are all good points, except of course that “live problem-solving sessions” and “trial work periods” were definitely already a thing at my current job, yet the employer needed the résumé to decide whether to invite/consider me for that in the first place.

the problem is, what is the alternative? I have never been on the employer side of a hiring process before, only the job-seeking side, but from what I’ve read, it’s not a very good system for either side, yet I can’t easily think of a better alternative.

Good. The Internet was always supposed to be an opportunity to expand the overton window. It’s incredible how much we’ve been allowing tech companies to be censors in the first place, anything that undoes this development is good.

Doesn’t PeerTube already do this? Maybe I am mistaken.

In any case there’s nothing inherently preventing this, just because a platform gets some of its data from other servers instead of its own users, it doesn’t mean it can’t use that data to run a recommendation algorithm.

I don’t want it though. I prefer choosing for myself what sources I want to get information from instead of getting any of it recommended by the platform operator.
