My great grandmother got married at 14 and had my grandmother at 15.

I think many comments have already nailed it.

I would add that while I hate the use of LLMs to completely generate artwork, I don’t have a problem with AI enhanced editing tools. For example, AI powered noise reduction for high ISO photography is very useful. It’s not creating the content. Just helping fix a problem. Same with AI enhanced retouching to an extent. If the tech can improve and simplify the process of removing an errant power line, dust spec, or pimple in a photograph, then it’s great. These use cases help streamline otherwise tedious bullshit work that photographers usually don’t want to do.

I also think it’s great hearing about the tech is improving scientific endeavors. Helping to spot cancers etc. As long as it is done ethically, these are great uses for it.

I too absolutely despise the whole format.

I want a FOSS version of the original core use of Facebook. A place to keep up with IRL friends and aquaintences. Share photos and updates with everyone you know. Organize and send out event invites. Facebook groups.

Sure you can do that the old fashion way. But the convenience of those features is the only reason I still use Facebook. I assume its what keeps most of FB userbase around.

It’s pretty normal. I took 6 years. I was having a good time.

It’s probably advanced Excel users, mostly. Also, people who heavily use the collaboration features of MS Office.

I created !camera_collecting@lemm.ee as a replacement. So far it’s just me posting.

The only way to use Adobe products on Linux are the web apps (which are limited) or in a windows virtual machine (slow) or by dual booting into windows (annoying).

You can run really old versions of Photoshop via Wine. But if your needs are that simple, you can probably just use Photopea.

For my use case of Lightroom for accessing and editing final photos across my computer and phone, and occasional photoshop use (mostly for printing) I am able to get by with the web apps, and windows virtual machine.

I would love to drop adobe. But the Lightroom Mobile cloud storage sync feature is too invaluable to me right now and there is no other option that comes close to that feature.

It should be locked at 50 cents per square foot. So a studio apt would be like $500 a month. Its close enough to what prices were in recent memory before the insane jumps in rent cost the last decade.

divers? was that supposed to say “divots?” Are there actually documented cases of someones skull deforming from wearing headphones enough? I have never heard of such a thing.

I have a full-sized and a 96%. I don’t know how people live without a numpad. Even my laptop has a numpad. I don’t do excel shit. But at work I have to enter alot of phone and CC numbers. At home I use the numpad for rating photos when sorting and importing them.

The new Stanley cup collector craze absolutely. It’s bonkers.

That said Stanley makes high quality stuff at far more reasonable prices than Yeti. I have a Stanley coffee thermos I have used every day for almost a decade. It was like $30.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with having strong brand preferences based on reputation and personal experience. The issue is when people become fanboys.

The worst one IMHO is YETI coolers. Sure their stuff is well made but the prices are obscene, and there are loads of absolute tools who will buy everything they make and make a cooler brand their whole identity. $40 for a 5 gallon bucket? Come on.

Nah it’s usually a RAM Cummins turbo diesel with an “I’d rather be cummin than stroking” sticker across the back window.

With Bazzite you will choose AMD or Nvidia when downloading the iso.

You probably are seeing more about NVIDIA because it’s usually more difficult to get things working with NVIDIA than AMD on Linux, so it’s a bigger deal that they have NVIDIA working out of the box.

With Bazzite, you can choose which desktop environment you want to use when you download the ISO. The KDE desktop will be more windows like, and the gnome desktop will be more similar to MacOS. The underlying OS is the same.

I assume it means they don’t include a web browser in the bootable live USB environment. Which is odd. But I also assume when installed it will include Firefox or something.

That said, have you also considered Bazzite? It worked great for me.

For real. I really hate how all the internet has just decided to meme with homelander like he is a good guy. Any meme I see with him I just assume some sort of malevolence behind it because he is so fucking evil.

I got my first one today. I feel like I have finally made it in the Fediverse.
