**I have a job now!**

I'm a Chinese shitizen, but I generally don't post in Chinese to avoid being suffering from other Chinese.

I'm physically a male, but I don't care how people think about my gender. I can be male, or female, or cat. But if you ask, I'd prefer to be referred to as male. Also, I support LGBT+ people, and I'm a copyleft. I don't think I'm too aggressive in arguing things, but sometimes I do. You should handle it with care.

I post about programming (most time is Java and Kotlin, unless I have a new love), and some random things I find interesting. I also post about my mental health, which is in a stable state of instability, thanks to my parents and Chinese society.

Anyway, if you want to follow me, I'm glad to see you. And, have a nice day.

Yeah, free software are great to have, but without a strong commercial support and fairly good management, it's really hard to support serious usages. You can't hope for some editors to know how to properly submit a GitHub issue. I emotionally support those software, I use GIMP some times, but I do prefer some paid software that I can yell at them when something goes wrong because I paid for that. And by "yell at them", I don't mean physically, I can report the problem, let them figure it out, and I can actively keep asking them when I can get the fix. With free and opensource software, nobody should bear this burden, and thus the user can't expect a proper "growth" for the software.

Also, that's why I hate Adobe's subscription: I do take photos and process them. But I don't often do that. Maybe several times a year, then why do I have to pay 10 USD a month?
Although Affinity Photo 2 is not that great to use compared to lightroom, it is functionally capable. And I don't need to subscribe to it. I just pay once and use whenever I want to, no extra fee.
----
Maybe spending like 40 or 50 USD per year is much cheaper than paying for a full royalty-free software pack. But if you think in that way, then there is much cheaper software out there, like affinity photo 2. I like Photoshop and Lightroom because of the features and functionality. I can take the price since I know I can use it whenever I want after I buy it. But now Adobe is forcing everyone to switch to their subscription model and revoke the licenses they sold, even with such brilliant software, I don't trust the company.

P1: My preference of post-processing, based on the DNG file
P2: My phone's preference of post-processing, aka the JPG file. It got the JPG file first, then got the DNG file. I assume this JPG file is what you get when you use the stock camera app.
P3: The unprocessed DNG file displayed by the default app to view photos in Windows 10.
----
In terms of "my preference", I don't mean my style. I don't know photography very well, so I just messing around with the slider and see if I like it. So each photo I produce, it got a different style😂 I'm just starting learning it, don't be too mean on me.
