The only thing infuriating is the choice of this community and the title

For what it’s worth, thank you.

The cognitive dissonance on that 180 must be a hell of a thing.

What? You’re the one complaining because I didn’t agree with you.

I’m not complaining because you didn’t agree with me. I’m pointing out that you cared enough to reply (despite asking who cares) and I’m also pointing out that saying who cares is a rude as fuck thing to open a conversation with.

You can disagree with me all you want, that’s your right. If you want to be rude then don’t be surprised when someone calls you out for it.

who cares?

Well, looks like I’ve got some upvotes and i got a reply from you so I’m guessing some people care. Tbh you just sound like a wet rag here and if you only want to hear about things you agree with then you can go talk to a mirror.

I’m fully aware some people are excited for HL3 whenever it comes out and some people are content to wait. I’m merely stating that the ship has sailed for me. Heaven forbid someone doesn’t consider gabe a golden god.

Doubtful. I have played 30 hours of video games this past year (bloodborne after finally being able to play on PC)

Honestly HL3 shouldve been out a decade ago for me to care. If it ever does release then im just not all that interested anymore.

Developers make software because they want to, or because they are paid to.

Consumers can use free software because it fits their needs, or they can pay for software if the free options don’t suffice.

Consumer demand for paid software drives paid software development.

You claim to be an open source developer, cool. There are people who are not developers who can’t contribute code but still want software. Sometimes that software needs to be paid because some free options aren’t “there” yet. Yes they could pay or donate to open source developers, but they can also tell a company they want to pay for linux software which is what this thread is about, in a community that isn’t focused on open source software

To play devils advocate: please name me an entire open source list of alternatives for each part of affinity studio/adobe suite.

For bonus points, all programs should be mutually agreed by other people as “the best not Adobe” and for extra extra points, they should all be part of a studio package for ease of installation for creatives

Now if someone made these demands in an open source thread they’d probably get a new asshole ripped open for being entitled with such requirements for free software. Instead, someone is saying they’d pay for affinity Linux software that meets this criteria but youre telling them to use open source which is not helpful.

Don’t get me wrong, open source is great. I do use gimp but i still need alternatives to affinity studio and it would’ve made moving to Linux much easier if i could use affinity on Linux.

Not sure, but before using any AI girlfriend id check it this video. I think it does a good job of not poking fun at the subject but instead genuinely look into it and what can be learned from it.

Interesting. I dont want to use obsidian because it’s not open source, and i didn’t like logseqs forced bullet-points (even if they do pretty cool things with children when using bidirectional linking). I tried logseq for a few weeks and just couldn’t get used to it

I can see ram-shaped. Pretty neat! Though you should consider selling these as art pieces given the layers here.

Constant real-time surveillance of populations, analyzed by Oracle-powered machine-learning products, would keep everyone “on their best behavior,”

Ive been meaning to re-watch the minority report.

Relevant post from earlier this month

Honestly if it starts at 30% then im 0% tipping and they can fuck right off.

It’s all intentional to get you to walk around the store more so you make more impulse buys. Same reason stores will reorganize things from time to time

“I litter because the trash can was full”

And you’re trying to think about perceived societal problems. How about introspection?

Ghost is github’s way of referencing deleted user apparently. Different people probably

Same, I had already considered self hosting matrix but this will help find a few more options

don’t touch it

Don’t even look at it on a regular basis. Looking at it makes some people do self-defeating things like breaking your other great points

That wouldn’t be very warrior like, but let’s ignore that. If a klingon wanted you dead, then i think something hidden in the pickle jar is the least of your concerns
