My recommendation was always the Affinity suite. One-time reasonable purchase and it was great. Definitely not the engineer-designed UI this post complains about. One problem: Mac only.

But now, it’s free! And available for PC! Except it was acquired by the Canva people so they’re probably gonna fill it with subscriptions and slop soon. Bummer.

What a terrible day to know how to read

Alternatively: what he is doing is causing immense suffering on a societal level and if he stopped doing it many people would live when they would otherwise die.

If the government is unable or unwilling to stop him, or even stop accelerating what he’s doing, then there are other options.

Hi, I’m Dave American, and I’m running for President.

While chip makers like NVIDIA и AMD While companies are locking in profits, case and assembly vendors are suffering significant losses.

Poorly, and in some cases, not at all.

This is a really poorly written article.

My plan, if I’m ever forced to use it for work or whatever, is to have a Claude.md file that says stuff like

• you are not my friend
• you are not a person
• you aren’t even a “you”
• you are a weighted random number generator built with plagiarism
• do not ever, EVER, pretend otherwise

I only block for one reason: egregious crossposting. Don’t post the same thing in four communities.

Something something checking the front page of the newspaper for an obituary

The only potentially generous way to interpret that statement is if “here” is like downtown in a major city or near a college campus or something.

But do you know who deserves the benefit of the doubt? Not this little fucker, not one bit.

Green Party: distract mostly left-leaning people to make it easier for Republicans to get elected

1. RAM is so expensive now it even eats into Apple’s ridiculous margins
2. Margins are better on the new laptops and phones and stuff than the Mini and Studio
3. New Minis and Studios are probably coming later this year

so,

4. Let the higher-margin, newer devices take the RAM and artificially extend ship dates for non-base configs of Minis and Studios to discourage people from buying what’s about to be a year or two behind in processor technology

They’ll fire everyone until it’s just the cops and the mayor, and then they’ll fire the mayor.

Well, it’s full of toxic fuels.

The money is actually going to defense contractors, an obscene percentage of which goes to like one guy who probably hunts poor people for fun on the weekends.

I lived downtown for a couple of years and drove north on Illinois street to get to work. This swerve as it crossed 16th street and the corresponding confusion to drivers just about killed me a few times.

Duh, it’s run by IBM. The most brain-rotted management suite on earth. All they do is chase the cool new hotness, and unfortunately it works for them – they’re mostly selling to other brain-rotted manager types. (The end users, as usual, get hosed.)

Indianapolis built the central mile square of streets aligned with magnetic north, but then the rest of downtown aligned with true north. It’s almost aligned, which causes problems at that border.

Fast enough for me, I guess. Faster than a ballpoint but not as fast as a rollerball. But a rollerball would turn what I do into an unintelligible smear, so I’m sticking with the gel.

Yep, it uses gel ink.
