+1 to this method. After optimise storage is disabled on the Mac, wait for all photos to download. Then, open the photos library bundle and you'll see every photo there, full res. Copy them wherever you like. Also, if you leave optimis

I'd love to do that, but I haven't seen any projects that have the polish and cohesive vision that I feel pro art / design tools should have. Apps like Inkscape and GIMP have always felt pretty rough around the edges and unpl

The entire Affinity Suite is now reduced to bait on a hook for an AI subscription service. This is enshittification. This arrangement will also undermine Affinity's credibility as a serious tool for work (and play!). I just want to pay

Check out NextDNS. It's easier than hosting your own DNS filter. It's got plenty of knobs and switches plus lots of blocklists to choose from. (The Hagezi lists are particularly good.) Also, if you run it on your devices (in addit

Yeah, true. And, of course, Affinity has Publisher on the way next year. It's getting interesting. That completes the holy trinity. But, then there's After Effects. I'm not sure if that app has any serious competitors, now or

It's not just the subscription model that irritates people. The software itself has become irritating in various ways. Creative Cloud is a multi-app hydra that feels like it attaches to your system like a facehugger. Lots of people ar

Totally. I've got an encrypted sparsedisk image for anything that needs to be truly secure. That's definitely a caveat though, because its contents can only be edited from my Mac. On the other hand, I didn't trust Evernote th
