not just identical, the new "free" thing will have more. popular requests like image trace and vector blend go to the "free" but not v2 (which, on its own is understandable tbh, no one expects a one time purchase of v2 t

sure. however, it will begin to feel "second class" after some os updates, some chip updates and other goings-on in the software world. still fine, really. I've seen people use the original pagemaker 9 on an internet-disconne

disappointed because a "best we offer, forever" paid software got swapped under our nose for "free for all after you login but we'll beg you to pay monthly by dangling features in the UI but locking them behind a trial o

bad take. your perpetual license was swapped under your nose for a freemium thing designed explicitly and specifically to get you to start paying subscription. that's the exact opposite of why I bought this software in the first place.

This is a deletion. - they're completely stopping all updates to v2; even image trace won't be coming to it. You might have paid for perpetual access to it 2 months ago, but it has completely stopped. As the world moves on (new ch

Mermaid is great in its niche, and being web-first has been its greatest asset. But that is also a great frustration because anytime I try to do anything out of the web-world with mermaid, it becomes a massive PITA thanks to needing a full

anyone working on this space easily gets a +1! I have struggled with code to diagram tools for a while [mermaid and graphviz], and usually return to figjam when I need the readabilty and aesthetics. graph-viz is MASSIVE and a binary. mermai

The Japanese mostly eat sticky rice, which is very easy to eat and "clean up" even with a chopstick. The Indian subcontinent eat long-grain Basmati or similar rice which fluff up into individual grains on the plate. It doesn'

The count's gone up. I didn't go to the protest but the friends that went say they're probably under-counting considering how many shots were fired right in front of them. PS fancy seeing you here!

supporters of the ban in 3 camps: - "if social media won't follow our laws, we should ban them" - "I am affiliated to this party so this is ok" - "social media bad, hence ban good" of course the deeper is

agreed. you don't kill 19 kids protesting social media ban. it goes far far far deeper than that.

- Local law meant to censor heavily any dissent - several pro corruption measures passed in the last few years - the people have been angry for long - social media just meant people now have to come on the streets lazily pasting one of my c

19 people so far. mostly peaceful protestors shot. 80+ being treated, ~50 serious. It was "Gen Z" kids raising one-piece flags among other things. some killed were still in their school uniforms, at least one was 16.

True, which is why I am somewhat conflicted. So after sacking the wildly (and deservingly) popular Chairman of the National Electricity Authority, after allowing ministers to set arbitrary and uncapped salaries for themselves and their work

In the specific context of Nepal, because it is clearly the next step in consolidation of power and move to authoritarianism. The government is corrupt and has taken a lot of incredibly unpopular and objectively anti-people moves in the las

This is not true. "Switch your DNS" hasn't worked for while. It didn't work for the TikTok ban. The ISPs are not incompetent. If the DNS change solution ever works, because they are half-assing it for whatever reason. An

To everyone agreeing with the decision, here's the real problem: The efforts to consolidate power, control the media, repeal stricter corruption-related laws, and allow more power and wealth to the political elite have been crazy high

To list down the current state of things: 1. Regardless of whether correct or not, it's Linus that decides what's a feature and what's not in Linux. Like he has for the last however many decades. Repair code is a feature if L

Don't keep the server running. Let others put up servers. Either release the server binary or code or publish the bare minimum API spec so others can build a server from scratch. Strip away any proprietary stuff. And don't sue whe

When I buy the game, tell me, "this won't exist after 2030". Done! Or allow the community to build and host reverse engineered servers after your game is dead. Don't go out of your way to sue and destroy community effort

I'm more and more baffled the more I go through this thread. It is as easy as saying, "this game you're buying won't run after 2030" Or publishing the bare minimum APIs you'd need to simulate to get the game to
