The real question is whether the Affinity installer works. Adobe can get lost.

I understand what you are saying, but it also assumes surrendering to AI. Many of us are planning to avoid, boycott, and fight that slop to our dying breath. AI needs to be unpopular and unprofitable. The technology isn’t going to disappear, but we can make sure it’s not socially acceptable to steal from or replace humans with expensive, inefficient, misanthropic, planet-killing software and hardware. Progress is being made and it’s important to understand that — just like crypto — this is a fight we can win.

I was just looking into this and I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about it before. It makes sense that businesses wouldn’t tolerate that nonsense. Thank you for the life hack, it will be very useful!

Even monitors are being equipped with spyware “smart” features. It seems a matter of time before all new monitors are spyware and adware Trojans like TVs. 😞

Steam Deck also makes an excellent home lab computer. It’s a shame the cheaper LCD versions are being discontinued.

Try Winboat. If your needs don’t require GPU acceleration, Winboat is flawless.

It is Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney telling us he is a pedophile and a nazi.

Wow. I already thought of Sweeny as scum but I didn’t know he was nazi pedophile scum. So long Epic.

That’s a few hundred dollars more than I hoped, but because of the slop-manufactured memory situation, I’m not surprised.

Nintendo has no excuse not to include one.

They do have an excuse.

I thought CSS was for things like layout and fonts. How would genuine programming features factor in? Is this about replacing JavaScript?

And this gets worse over time because you still have to maintain it.

And as the cherry on top - https://www.techradar.com/pro/nearly-half-of-all-code-generated-by-ai-found-to-contain-security-flaws-even-big-llms-affected

My LibreOffice is still called LibreOffice.

Remember, they are no longer a charity organization, but a publicly traded for-profit business that is “mostly owned” by a charity. If you wondered why they were overpriced and enshittifying, that is why.

I love Pi, but the price of the 5 is unreasonable. Since RPF spun hardware into publicly traded a for-profit business, I expect it will only continue to get worse.

Steam Deck is the answer for now. You may still be able to get one of the discontinued LCD models on the cheap, but GamePass is now as expensive as buying a game every month, so it’s better to buy than subscribe. They also make excellent PCs and homelab devices. We bought several LCD versions for the lab instead of Pi 5s, because they are such a good deal.

Viral Somali Daycare Fraud Claims Debunked

Not a journalist, a YouTuber.

And the YouTuber is the fraud here.

The poor user experience is intentional. Compare FireTV to AppleTV. Everything about FireTV is carefully designed to coerce you into spending money. Easy access to the content you already have doesn’t make money, so the UX serves Amazon, not you. Apple does it, too, but with a more subtlety.

Star Citizen works well on Linux via a community-maintained tool called LUG. Getting other fancy peripherals like head tracking requires some creative use of a Windows VM, because those peripheral makers don’t support Linux. If Squadron 42 ever actually materializes, then the community will have it covered.
