are these editors orangutans?

The Librarian would be much more meticulous tyvm.

Well that’s pretty fun. Thanks for sharing.

Cat mode.

Could you elaborate on this? lol

There’s !writing@beehaw.org and !writing@lemmy.ml already. Still a little lacking in activity but they’re growing.

Idk maybe, I implied I don’t use Kbin with that comment from 25 days ago. Not sure why you’d ask me tbh.

Yeah, same. I think they doth protest too much lol

Okay. So we’ll do it again in less time because we have lessons to draw on. This version of Lemmy is already better than early Reddit for anybody that remembers.

I think a lot of people scoffing at the numbers don’t realize that 8% is not insignificant for a site as robust and long lived as Reddit. That’s a pretty huge change in a short period of time. It will be interesting to see what happens when the third party apps shut down.

Of course it will, Digg is still around and so is Myspace. These sites rarely “die” in the sense of shutting down but just become a husk of its former self.

I live in Oregon and moved here from a self pump state, personally I love not getting out of my car to pump gas. Doubly so when it’s shitty out. I hope most places around here keep the gas pump people. They probably will tbh because native Oregonians would have a fit, especially old timers.

Oh you mean a good old fashioned hackintosh! I’m aware, but every update seemed to be a pain in the ass (experimented with that in the past too, I have about a decade of IT experience). I’d rather just get an official Mac. The hackintosh is a cool project but not something I’d want to make a daily driver. I know some people can make it work and I’m happy for them but I found it to be too fiddly.

For anybody else interested though you can find more info at this link

GIMP is still hot garbage imo, you can do a lot with it but it has a looong way to go before being comparable to Photoshop. It was only last year in 2022 they added CMYK support, that’s insane to me.

I’m not saying it won’t get to the feature rich state I’m looking for, but it’s got a long way to go. I’m not going to be able to switch from Photoshop for a while. If I did, Affinity is a better program for that but even that is missing a lot of features in comparison. Only for now though, I’m looking forward to the future of these programs.

I like Mint and I tried Ubuntu, Debian and even Arch way back in the day just for funsies. I’m not unfamiliar with Unix based systems, I just use creative programs and that is Linux’s biggest Achilles’ heel. The alternatives to Adobe software just don’t have the features I need yet. They’re getting there but at this time it would be a rough transition.

Yeah, that’s a more likely option for me. I’m not super keen on how locked down Apple keeps the OS but MS is getting just as bad with Windows Apps and all that nonsense. So my reason for not switching to Mac is basically price of hardware at this point.

I would like to switch to Linux in the future though, not saying no, I just need my creative programs to work there and I’ll be golden. Because everything else I used worked mostly okay (some hiccups but that’ll happen when switching OS’s).

I tried it in the past, admittedly a long time ago, and it just wasn’t great for my workflows.

I use Adobe products for the time being because the other available software doesn’t have the features I need quite yet. They’re getting closer year by year and I could see switching being way easier once they get more feature rich. But for right now I still need Windows for my creative programs.

I don’t really want to switch to Linux, Microsoft, please stop pushing me to. I will, but I’d rather not. Ffs.

The virtual towel in my hangar for being an early backer is ready lol

I agree! That seems like a great thing to add to the Fediverse road map. There are other more pressing issues that need to be worked on first but I’d love to see that level of integration eventually.

I’m not big on video content so that doesn’t bother me at all, but I could see how that might hold some people back if they prefer that. Funnily enough, I often won’t click a link if I see it goes to a video instead of an article.

That being said PeerTube is in the works, still a ways to go but it’s comin’
