One of the most important lessons I learned about #photo editing is to release the need to imitate the camera JPEG look and just do to the picture what you want it to be.

@Gargron 1.4.9 is now available here in France, and I’m using it to write this post.

In 2023, I hope to:

- See the good in people, despite how glaring some of their flaws may be, as mine are likely even more glaring despite any good I may have,
- Ignore political discussions except when necessary,
- Work on a new serious research project, now that my startup is winding down and my indie game has been published,
- Run 5km at least three times a week, every week,
- Be the best partner I can be to my partner,
- Be an excellent person to collaborate with professionally.

I don't know why this version (1.4.9) is still not available on the App Store. I suspect it's an issue or delay on Apple's side...

"Authoritarianism is an American historical tradition, newly energized and threatening our republican existence… we shall see whether our 21st-century democracy will live or die honestly, whether we, too, are heading for collapse or renewal through politics, law or civil conflict. How we answer such challenges will determine whether it is 1857 again in America.”

"…suggests two major variables that help gauge the potential for civil conflict. The first is whether a government is a “partial democracy” — either a backsliding democracy or an autocracy trying to democratize — and the second is whether its population is voting based on people’s ethnic, religious or racial identity rather than on something else."

• For meritorious service in connection with operations against the enemy while serving with a marine infantry battalion on Iwo Jima, Volcano islands Feb.27, 1945. The light machinegun section of which Cpl. Gjerness was section leader was attached to a rifle platoon assaulting a vital ridge commanding the approaches to Hill 362. The platoon was repulsed by a superior enemy fire. The platoon again assault the ridge, this time suffering heavy casualties, among them the platoon leader. The platoon became disorganized. Cpl. Gjerness, realizing the severity of the situation, and with complete disregard for his own personal safety, took charge of the platoon and through his courageous leadership the platoon was orderly withdrawn and the wounded were evacuated with the highest traditions of the U.S. naval service.
