I bought CS6 Suite back in 2012 and used it well into 2021. Before that I had a patchwork of CS3 programs from 2005 I was given the discs for second-hand. Nowadays I use Krita, ffmpeg, Blender, Zim Desktop Wiki, and Inkscape to replace Flas

I didn't know Adobe Atmosphere was a thing. Thank you for providing another example of that strange period of MMO-lites like Worlds and VRML. Interesting to think Adobe Atmosphere versus Worlds mirrors the much later one-sided wallopin

There's a reason Louis Rossman constantly berates his audience for having the attitude of "You fucking moron, you should've gotten [insert thing here]." He calls it elitism because it's not about commiserating and w

> It's like the American oligarchs want to weaken America, or at least are willing to do so if it means that they have greater control over it. The capital holders want it under their control. The fact that it harms the state is a c

The overlap comes in the form of militarization of the police (Republicans give police ridiculous equipment or powers that the Democrats refuse to limit or rescind because they don't want to appear "soft on crime"), the proli

Because that's debating the mechanics of it rather than the need or the ethics. Nobody gives a shit about the mechanics because if there's a debate about the mechanics that means the discussions about the need and the ethics have

One argument I've heard that people try to use as proponents of these datacenters is that they bring in employment in construction and electrical engineering even if it's temporary. Their argument falls apart very quickly when it&

Often times the fastest way to debug is to write it wrong, write it wrong again, find an example where somebody wrote it right, write that wrong in your own file, then figure out what you changed to adapt it that made it go wrong. If anyone

Even with older lower level languages like C and COBOL '02 it's easier to do simple things like find a file, read the file, and draw the file on the screen as a raster image using a resizable canvas than it is to write the JavaScr

I've wondered for a while if simple interaction systems would be good enough to fend these things off without building up walls like logins. Things like Anubis do system checks, but I'm wondering if it would be even easier to do s

With content creation platforms there is absolutely no way one person or even ten people at the highest levels could kill them by leaving. In fact, as has been shown on Youtube and Twitch it usually makes the platform healthier because ther

I can confirm the earbuds thing. Not the mask thing. Modern jelly ended "earbuds" just feel awful. They irritate my sense of momentum, never stay in, and it constantly feels like I have altitude pressure buildup in my ear canal wh

People get very annoyed and less productive when they have to relearn a large portion of their workflow. A carpenter uses the same tools the same way for fifty years, but someone working with software in any capacity has their tools replace

The enshittification has taken even the foods that were staples of the carb and sugar funnel. Many people aren't buying these foods not just because of GLP-1s, but because the quality of the food itself has gotten so bad. Doritos for e

It tends to happen in the area in general where I live. My house, neighbour's house, a house a mile away, all have the same trouble. I live within about six hundred yards of a volunteer fire department and about seven hundred yards fro

It seems strange now how often the power goes out. I remember back in the '90s I could leave my PlayStation running for two weeks because I didn't have a memory card to save my progress in Syphon Filter or NASCAR Thunder '98.

I had a Soundblaster Live! Gold card back in the day, and I would route my record player or stereo through it so I could use a visualizer on my computer. You could hear the digital noise that was introduced on the highhats. And the source f

The pro-Trump group don't think about consequences is the thing. The anti-Trump group do, and that's a big reason why they're slow to respond. Performing a siege on the Capitol was a stupid, angry, and impulsive reaction with

You're thinking about it with the wrong basis. They will not land in prison because they broke enough enforcement mechanisms to escape punishment. The administration will end, but the regime will not. Even if Trump died tomorrow, enoug

A general strike at the level required to change things requires roping in unwilling participants as well. Probably on the scale of breaking infrastructure like payment systems or over the road shipping. If nobody can ignore current events

When it comes to harm on this scale, always expect the worst, because the harm will be generational. More importantly, Trump doesn't give a flying fuck about anything outside of the executive branch and below the federal level, because

I think it does make sense if you're at a certain level of user hardware. If you make local computing infeasible because of the computational or hardware cost it makes it much easier to sell compute as a service. Since about 2014 almos

There's one date they'll always point to because it fits all their stereotypes. Sixth of June, 1944. Lots of young men dying fighting a valiant war against a seemingly insurmountable enemy surrounded by icons of American military

Part of the reason why I kept tabs open in the tens of thousands (mainly images that were sourced from single tabs) was because bookmarks absolutely suck at actually organizing based on priority of access. In Firefox for example there'
