I’ve never been an incel but I’ve always sympathised because I feel like I easily could have become one. Seeing a therapist and learning the basics of Cognitive Bias Therapy is what I attribute to helping me out of a lot of those ‘thought loops’.

It’s nice hearing stories about people who’ve escaped it.

Power users probably just use hotkeys and type, Gnome is attractive and stays out of your way. That said - I like Plasma, too. That’s the fun of Linux, it’s so customisable to each person’s needs.

I’ve been using it for a while and agree. At least I know how they’re making money off of me.

The comments are funny but if you read the article he just did it for the bit. Apparently he changed quite a bit over that time and regretted being an angry forum nerd, so he thought it would be funny to do one last post and abandon the account.

The comments on this are weird. Dude had a crush and talked to her. She must have invited him to things and now they’re married. Everyone talking like he wore her down or wouldn’t have stopped if she was disinterested.

Dudes do be creepy, though, but let’s just leave this story be, ok.

I really like the tumbleweed method, seems like the best compromise between arch and debian style updates.

I forgot that only people you have agreements with can sue you. This is why Boeing hasn’t been sued once recently for their own criminal negligence.

If it was Arch you’d update once every 15 minutes whether anything’s broken or not.

They can have all the clauses they like but pulling something like this off requires a certain amount of gross negligence that they can almost certainly be held liable for.

My company used to use something else but after getting hacked switched to crowdstrike and now this. Hilarious clownery going on. Fingers crossed I’ll be working from home for a few days before anything is fixed.

It’s just like any other investment, they expect to get more money out of whatever they invest into his campaign.

That’s a great point. AOC has more experience than Trump did when elected.

You’re literally responding to an article criticising the power consumption of ai. What do you mean where are the people? They’re right here.

Nobody will hear a statement from the other side of the story because the other side is a dead 13 year old.

It’s different for everyone, I’m overweight and don’t have tiddies at all, but I’ve seen men who looked like a fairly healthy weight who had noticeable tiddies.

I think the thing I love most about crown shyness is the name. It paints such a lovely picture of these silly trees, growing for decades side by side but too shy to encroach on their neighbours space.

I would argue that there’s also lots of professionals who don’t use or need those features. Not everyone is using photoshop for print work, which that link seems to mostly discuss. It is still true, though, and every time I try to switch away from photoshop I run into some niche missing feature I need that most people wouldn’t care about.

You may be surprised. I use Photoshop in my profession and I am desperately trying to move away from it. Not just because of the obvious Adobe is the worst, but it has been getting progressively worse to use for me. I don’t speak for everyone of course but at least for me there’s really only a few very small things that would make me switch instantly.

Photoshop just infuriates me lately, you’d think with all their employees they’d figure out how not to lose my hotkeys every automatic update, or that I’ve been using it for over a decade and don’t need annoying tutorial popups for every tool.

The priorities of a large company can often be opposed to making their software better, like adding AI into everything or adding new features nobody really needs so they can have a flashy presentation at some conference, or deprecating features in order to move people to their latest acquisitions program instead.

Blender is a great example of open source being totally viable for replacing commercial software. I use it professionally and it’s never been a limiting factor for me.

This is very common for a lot of these programs, I’m not actually sure about Gimp, but Photoshop, Krita and Affinity Photo all let you. Same with a lot of the other digital art programs I use for work.
