It's really sad how the most well-payed engineers and designers are spending the best years of their lives working on this hostile platform. I'm so tired of being treated like garbage by these companies, I just hope there is some

Yeah the Affinity programs completely cover everything I used to do with the Adobe Suite. I'm not a professional designer but I often have to do small photo editing / vector design tasks and Adobe always felt like such a rip-off,

I'm guessing it's the end state of Amazon. They are still trying to take over European markets so they have to maintain quality to compete, but once there is no competition it will degrade until it's barely tolerable for the

I've done it three times, and the last time I went outside while high (to acquire a donut) when I thought I was coming down from the trip (as soon as I stepped outside I that wasn't the case) and it was really eye-opening for me.
