As an amateur photographer, I'm looking for recommendations to improve my process for reviewing and selecting the best photos from my albums.
Currently, it goes something like this:
- (after I copy the photos to my PC) I open the folder containing the album
- I open the first photo and start looking at the pictures using the default photo viewing app
- I note mentally, on paper, or in a digital notepad the names of the files that I like the most
- manually select the files that I noted down
My ideal workflow would be something like:
- open the folder, open first photo, look through them all
- each time I see a picture that I like, hit space or some other simple shortcut, which adds the picture to the current selection
- after I am done viewing, I have all the files that I want already selected to do with as I please
I have tried multiple apps over the years but I haven't come across anything that had something similar, or I was too stupid to figure out how to do it. The workflow I described is using windows/linux, on macOS it's even more cumbersome (since one needs to select all photos in a folder before previewing them).
Do you have any recommendations for an app that has functionality like this, or if not, on how I can make my workflow better?
Thanks

My 10 year old son asked me the other day what feminism was. He had never heard of the word and when I tried to define it on the fly he looked a little puzzled. It surprised me that he hadn't been introduced to the concept since he goes to a pretty liberal public school. I think the school has focused more on racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity. Also, i have to admit that I feel a little guilty that he's practically a tween and he doesn't have a clue what feminism is (im feeling like this is a big mom fail).
Usually when I want to introduce a topic that I think is important with my kids, I find an appropriate book as a jumping off point. But I'm really stuck on this one. Everything is either way too young (picture books) or written with girls as the target audience. And the books don't seem to define feminism exactly, just give vague descriptions, slogans, and historical examples. I'm looking for something along the lines of Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You, which is a book his entire 4th Grade class read and discussed last year. ETA: He reads at a high level - for example, he breezed through The Hobbit. So a book at a High School level might also work.
Thank you in advance for your help!

So we are planning 11 days in Italy in the winter, flying in and out of Milan.
Time spent in the north we will use public transportation and visit regional cities including Bologna, Genova, Ravenna, Verona, Venice and Florence.
We will drive south and see Naples, Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Any general travel advice, restaurant suggestions, cities we missed that can be reached via transit, sights to see, customs or whatever you think is useful would be most appreciated. Also I need to find a moderate priced hotel or hostel with private rooms for Milan. Thank you very much!

I just finished playing through the Fata Deum demo and you can really feel the B&W roots, even if it's minus your pet.
While there's lots to be excited about off the back of Fata Deum, it does kill me that this IP was left for dead considering how innovative the gameplay was at the time and how much potential it had.
Does anyone have fond memories of other hits from now defunct studios?

My buddy and I grew up in the 80's and 90's together in a mostly analog world, so we spent a bunch of time outside on bikes and getting dirty. We played board games a lot with each other and our family, but as the turn of the century hit we were more engrossed in technology.
We both ended up in careers around creative design and technology, but still have that nostalgia from our past. We have been hanging out this past year and started streaming on Twitch so we can put our skills to use in a fun hobby.
Since January we had the idea to see how far we could push AI to help us create a board game! It's been a fun time starting from nothing and producing something. While the AI craze and controversy are out there. We realized that going all AI to make a fun game wasn't going to work. We've been using it as a tool but adding a lot of ourselves to it.
We hope to give a free downloadable and 3d printable version out. We are excited to get where we are and have an actual fun game. We figured we'd share our progress of the game. Frostbite: The Curse of Doctor Frost
Does anybody know of communities that would be into downloading, printing, and playing board games?
