Much better, very good detail 😅

How about ‘artist’s death’, full stop?

Do you have any links to articles about how to use i2p?

That seems like a good idea.

You missed an S in enShittification.

And I completely agree, Cory seems to be good at coining terms and making them stick 👍

AltCeption!

A winning strategy 👌

I think we need to look a bit back in time for the answer:

“If they pay a penie or two pence more for the reddinesse of them…let them looke to that, a foole and his money is soone parted.”

It’s pretty funny how you can’t keep I/he and my/his straight in your post. And the “not mine” label is a nice touch! 😂

I think you owe it to yourself to make this into a post on /r/amitheasshole. I have a feeling the results will surprise you.

Zorg ZF-1s fired!

Paging Dr. Allcome!

Was introduced to Merlin a few weeks ago on a scout nature course, and I love it so much!

I’m using it a sort of real-life pokémon game, trying to grow my list of found birds (Life List). So far I’m up to 36! 😍

Don’t have any data to back it up, but I’ve been using Photoshop for 25+ years, and got the clear impression that this was 100% part of marketing; from what I gathered from friends back then, pirating Photoshop was so astonishingly simple that it seemed deliberate. If you’ve got the software that’s the easiest to get hold of for kids and students, that’s what they grow up with, that’s what they know, that’s what they expect to have access to in future employment situations.

Now that they’ve managed to pull off Subscriptions (and consequently fucking us all over by making it a legitimate business model, which instantly spread to, what, +60% of all paid software?), I’m sure they’ve calculated that the higher bar for gaining access to their software is more than adequately offset by the readings on the yard stick in their Scrooge McDuck money vault building(s).

And still, nobody has managed to make something that can replace their bloated, shitty software for professional users.

First one doesn’t work without the comma, I think you meant “Stop killing games”.

Yay, space opera! 🥰

Highly recommend almost everything by Peter F. Hamilton if you haven’t read them, arguably top 3 space opera authors ❤️

Edit …: and Boo! Google!

I realize this is a FOSS channel, but I’m going to play devil’s advocate and suggest Eagle.

I have some 40K assets, mostly JPGs and PNGs, and apart from Obsidian, Eagle is the best piece of software I’ve found in the last 5 years, maybe longer, and I absolutely adore it.

It’s not free, but it’s pay-once, fairly cheap, and the upcoming version has an API and huge focus on community developed plugins.

The current version supports a huge amount of file types, including 3D. I’m not completely sure about audio, but I’d be kinda surprised if Eagle didn’t support audio.

🎵 just a n00b like some of us 🎵

Thank you! I may just take you up on that, but think I need to read some how-to’s first 😁

I’ll see if I can’t figure it out, think it’s mostly a question of lacking available time to get into it properly 👌

Always make a backup! Hopefully, they remembered the 1-2-3 rule 🤔
