Virus Total: Activity related to AMADEY - according to source Cluster25 - 6 months ago This DOMAIN is used by AMADEY. Amadey is a botnet agent that appeared around October 2018 sold on Russian-speaking hacking forums. It periodically sends information about the system and installed AV software to its C2 server. It can also load other payloads to the victims' devices.
macOS download url after downloading with librewolf and rightclicking "copy downoload url": https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/f1e08a34d17fd85cd8896ba86...
Edit: i dont get this when copying direct links from the readme.md. Its just when i click them and copy the url it used to download.
Edit2: i get this too when i download the x64 exe and copy the download link from the librewolf (firefox fork) download manager https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url-analysis/u-6a55e124c22f9b...
Edit3: maybe false alarm and the botnet used the github url https://release-assets.githubusercontent.com/ to spread malware?

I'm not sure you submitted the actual artefact? Would be interested in knowing, though.

If you copy the url at the top and resolve it, it downloads the bin. But i think this may be a false alarm and the botnet just spread his malware over github.

I love trying out new software, but with Github getting blasted all the time, supply chain compromise, and now in the vibe coding era with people not even checking, we have to be careful. It sucks that this is the status quo now.

What advantages does this offer over Darktable, the long standing FOSS lightroom alternative?
Edit: One criticism of Darktable is that it emphasizes its "scene-referred workflow" as opposed to a "display-referred workflow" like Lightroom does, making it not a true Lightroom alternative. Seems like this also happens to be written in C++ and also uses a scene-referred workflow? Quite the coincidence. How much of the important design decisions (or implementation) are just copied from Darktable?
today at 10:01 PM
Darktable is GPL-3.0 licensed, meaning that I would have to attribute Darktable if it was used in the project. I chose C++ because it is extremely fast. I built this because I was frustrated that Darktable had such a high learning curve. No code was copied from Darktable with my knowledge. As for your comments about the workflow, I will look into that and make sure that this project gives credit where credit is due. Thanks for your feedback.
Note after a quick question to Claude: The workflow is inspired by Darktable, but none of its code was copied. This project aims at approachability versus darktable's many features.

I will admit that all in all darktable has a more comprehensive set of controls over editing. However, it is harder software to use.

This is unfortunately exactly the kind of project I wouldn't want to trust my photo management workflow to...software is cheaper than ever, thoughtful maintenance and longevity is worth much more to me.
Not that Adobe's getting my money either.
today at 10:14 PM
Why are there so many of these in the last 2 days?
today at 10:16 PM
What’s the feature parity vs LR?
today at 10:24 PM
Copyrights and patents are outdated.

It's got the kind of UI that I would love pre-2024 or so but these days it just screams "AI generic" unfortunately. Documentation is fairy concise and reasonably LLM-jargon free though.

would love an AE and InDesign clone, theres just nothing as good as either
today at 10:35 PM
Another GitHub has some after effect clone as well. Along with a near complete Adobe suite clone.
Where that's good, I don't know..nobody seems to care telling.
today at 9:45 PM
perhaps my requirements aren’t that complex but i find Affinity mostly a great replacement for InDesign. there are some annoyances and unintuitive limitations but its all workable.
today at 9:49 PM
ae with more stability and error handling would be a treat

Given that some are now reversing all closed software using LLMs, it should be now finally worth reversing the whole of Nvidia’s closed source software, drivers and blobs, including CUDA.
No excuses this time.
today at 9:59 PM
I think they're not reversing the way you may think(and they're doing a very bad job, if you try any of these apps they collapse very soon for basic workflow things) but rather copying the behaviour by looking at input and output. A clean-room design is called iirc
today at 10:11 PM
Maybe it's doing a really good job, but the original code was just held together with scotch tape.
today at 9:30 PM
Apple silicon as well.
today at 10:01 PM
There's Asahi Linux, why arent they doing it already? Imo the end result is not great and it's very hard to maintain. Like Asahi has already demonstrated
today at 9:10 PM
Love this.
