Keep in mind that though this is a blow to the industry, it's not like optical media is just yet dead. Hell, there are still new releases to DVDs coming out today.

Their static website hosting is probably the best in the business. We seriously need some competition though.

I literally use GIMP every day at my job. It's a very powerful application that makes my life easier.

Security theater: All you stuff is encrypted but they have the decryption keys

Proprietary App Store: The apps and the store itself are proprietary and I don't trust Apple.

Gaslighting their customers: Images shared with Android users from iPhone are purposely crushed to a unreviewable quality. The idea is to convince people that Android takes terrible photographs.

Admittedly, I bought an Nvidia card for AI. I am part of the problem.

People complain now, but they'll renew their subscription. It's the same unhealthy relationship people have with Windows.

This is actually an excellent comparison. I don't own a car, and I advocate for the car free lifestyle. I also don't recommend people using Adobe if possible.

I use these tools everyday. Yes there are limitations, but for what MOST people need there are solutions. It just depends on what is important to you. Also, you can use the ellipse assistant.

I use all 3 for professional work. Might not be good for your job but it's been great for mine.

This also matches my comparison.

Maybe someone who makes the GIMP uses photoshop. I actively don't, and I recommend that others stop using it.
Maybe someone who delivers my food uses petroleum. I actively don't, and I recommend that others stop using it.

All these elements influence my decisions. If you want to continue promoting Adobe and Big Oil, that's on you.

My desktop was given to me by my job. My laptop, I rode a bicycle to my friends house and paid him cash. What does that have to do with my promotion of being Adobe free?

Like, literally no one is stopping you from using Adobe stuff. No need to be salty, you do you. ✌

Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again (www.engadget.com)

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year's $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan...

We're also using machine learning for the local site translation. The AI buzzword is doing more damage than good PR.

10 years ago when I worked at a movie theater the paper cups ran us about 30¢ each. The soda was about 5¢.

No mention of license in this article. Are they going to be releasing it through a git of some kind?

I create content that goes into YouTube. I generate a tiny bit of revenue from that. I have no say into how YouTube treats my viewers. If you watch the ads, awesome, I get some money. If not, I'm just glad you watched the video.

The majority of content on the platform is made up of channels my size and smaller. Most of us are getting paid pennies.

But YouTube doesn't care about us. They want to appease the larger studios.

Turns out the judge on his 2020 conviction was caught doing some questionable shit.

He's still going to be serving time for the 2022 conviction.

It ain't like it used to be. Just upgraded my machine to an Nvidia for the first time in like 10+ years.

sudo apt install nvidia

After a reboot it was smooth as hell. I remember the dark ages. I remember fucking with X.org settings. 😐

One of the reasons I love Linux is that I can install or uninstall any application I want. I don't even need a desktop let alone a web browser.

Midjourney Accuses Stability AI of Image Theft, Bans Its Employees (80.lv)

According to a recent tweet shared by AI enthusiast Nick St. Pierre, the alleged theft occurred last Saturday. It is claimed that employees from Stability AI infiltrated Midjourney's database and stole all prompt and image pairs, an action that also caused a 24-hour outage. In response, MJ reportedly banned all Stable Diffusion...

I know instantly how to get the packages I need in Linux but I had to do some research to enable the webcam in Windows 10.

The idea that one OS is easier than the other is misattributed familiarity.

Unless the vendor decided to lock it down until you manually unlock it with the administrator account. Then even Teams can't see it.

GIMP = Image Editing
Krita = Drawing and Painting

If the documentation is on discord, there is no documentation. Documentation has to be freely available, otherwise it doesn't count.

If people can talk without being tracked they might unionize.

Can't think of any applications that I use in Linux that aren't available on Windows.
