Oh, the last reaction in the list.... I hope the name was never public 🤣
These people who flock to ICE have no business being corrections officers. IMHO.

Interesting. I wonder if a *general* guidance to use AI by an in-house counsel would qualify in that judge's eyes as meeting the legal advice threshold.
It also raises the importance of running local models.
Clearly, it is a district court in New York, and it is non-precedential elsewhere. Yet in an unsettled legal context, courts are known to reuse each other's reasoning across the country, unless it is overruled.
@darktable@photog.social I can't find other posts in this thread, hence the self-answer. There was a previous post where someone asked "what can be done" regarding a new user onboarding.
I am hesitant to barge in with an opinion, as the work done by Darktable volunteers is great, and I am super appreciative of the efforts! At no point below do I mean to say that improvements are a must, given how awesome Darktable already is.
When I think about what would have helped me when starting with Darktable, I think a passive configurable to-do list with a hierarchy would be helpful. An example mock-up is attached. I was confused why Darktable, which bills itself as a "photography workflow application", has no concept of a workflow explicitly in its UI. I later learned about the scene-referred workflow, an order of modules, etc, but it was a steep curve. Not something a newbie thinks when reading the word "workflow", IMHO.
Maybe nested workflows in a distant future. Maybe actual guided and programmable workflows based on the workflow tree, e.g. after reviving the https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/issues/16722
#homeassistant crowd, how would you automate the scenario:
I have the "all off" automation, which turns off all lights, including those in the guest room.
We do have guests sometimes. Usually, they stay between a couple of days and a couple of weeks.
How may I mark the time when guests are visiting, so that during that time (usually between a couple of days and a couple of weeks), the automation skips the guest room lights?
@darktable@photog.social it is a document which a few will even open.
@darktable@photog.social echoing others in the replies, it would be nice to have a selection of Ui-wizard-like flows, walking through import, tagging, culling, suggested steps of processing, export.
Maybe some of the sub-flows may be composable, e.g. I want these imports, culling, tagging, but that processing flow, and another export.
I think it is a good time to re-watch Rick Steve's Iran episode:
