I appreciate the sentiment, but I would not try it at this point - some people have said that it would straight up corrupt files when attempting to save, and I wouldn’t risk it like this, even with backups.
Maybe I should just give Darktable another chance.

Yeah, that sometimes works.

Well, if they’re cutting expenses at the end, they’ll continue going this way.

For me most often it’s because of incorrect item weight, not because I screwed up. Even if I go to another machine, it would probably end up the same with me ending up wasting my time; and if it’s not the first item, I suppose it might trigger a security warning (i.e. me picking up my items before paying).
- Comment on Machines 1 week ago:
If you double scan something, it should wait to weight the second item scanned. Where I shop, the machine doesn’t let you scan anything until you put the already scanned one on the scale. If where you are it relies just on cameras, then yeah, it could be faulty like you say.

Depends on where you are.
Where I am, alcohol, tobacco and gambling were all prohibited in advertisement, then gambling had a pass (because those making the laws are most likely in the pockets of gambling execs), but it looks like it will get prohibited again.
- Comment on We live in a society... 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’m with you on that one, but I’m also realistic.
- Comment on We live in a society... 3 weeks ago:
Ads for gambling should be prohibited, just like those for tobacco and alcohol.

- Comment on I remember 4 weeks ago:
I remember a YouTube channel with some folks drop testing a bunch of phones using a drone - and some Motorola smartphone with a polymer display (IIRC) survived a much bigger drop than the 3310 did.
I think the 3310 got its reputation because it was ubiquitous and at the same time somewhat tough - but it’s nowhere near as tough as say some Ericssons before it or some Siemens models after. Maybe this is also backed by the fact that phones got progressively more brittle after that.
Naturally people reach for the low hanging fruit to make a joke.

Yes: we’re not happy any more.

There’s not all that much fact checking about something like that. It’s not like they claimed something and got one small detail wrong. It’s just a blanket statement that is unsubstantiated. Assuming they have common knowledge of the industry they’re in, it takes just one game that is not coin-operated and has some save functionality to make the original statement invalid.

I try to “vote with my wallet” on these things whenever I can.

I’ve got a suspicion that this is one of those “say something intentionally stupid so that everyone jumps on the train to correct you and create engagement”.
- Comment on I'm not sure they will 1 month ago:
I’m afraid you’ll find that for some people they don’t - just like they didn’t work before AI.
- Comment on The American Dream, minus 60% 1 month ago:
I have a problem with the fact that the top maybe 1% (I don’t know the exact number, could be less than 1 even) owns more than the rest in total.

The Moon landing was staged, but Kubrick insisted on shooting on location.
- Comment on business is business 1 month ago:
The audacity to ask for the raw, unprocessed photos for a lower price, and then complain that they look boring.
That has the same energy as going to a restaurant and asking for the raw ingredients.
- Comment on business is business 1 month ago:
That’s why it’s important to set expectations in advance. 50 images shot in the same setting and processed in bulk with maybe minor adjustments to each is something very different from 50 images that you have to touch up every single one.
- Comment on business is business 1 month ago:
I don’t disagree with the notion, but phrased like this it’s kind of like trolling/clickbait - getting people to engage regardless of what they’re saying.
