Subnautica. Basically can’t figure out where to go next. Fortunately I got it as a physical release on Switch so I can just sell the cart.

If anyone wants my ebook library just let me know.

Be more embracing of what is good in your life.

Excellent resource. Thanks for sharing!

I grew up vegetarian and I’m used to regarding body parts as belonging to a living thing and to be used in service of it, not as food.

If others cannot stop eating meat from animals then I would find it less morally wrong to eat lab-grown. Still disgusting though. And unlikely to be very resource efficient. Or safe. That’s my two pennies!

I got a random payout from my building society which I wasn’t expecting, just for being a member. Separate to interest on savings.

I’ve always wanted to broadcast encrypted signals from a ham radio out of the back of a van parked next to a nuclear power station.

You could try Jami. It’s peer to peer, so essentially any participants are self-hosting it. Its E2E encrypted, supports group messaging, voice and video calling, has easily ‘linkable’ mobile and desktop apps for all platforms and requires no email address or phone number to use. It’s also the only messenger I’m aware of which is endorsed by the Free Software Foundation. I highly recommend it 👌

Fuck Adobe. They are effectively a monopoly and are actively exploiting that position. I refuse to use their software, even if it slows me down.

Imagine what projects like GIMP, Krita, Inkscape, Scribus etc could do with a fraction of monthly revenue of Adobe.

I agree that they are effective programs for getting work done. There are some drawbacks in a professional setting though, the biggest being the data scraping that has been introduced. It’s hard to explain to clients that any licensing of their images has been violated before it has even been applied. Either Adobe are going to get away with exactly the kind of IP infringements that they are so against when it comes to their own work, or they’re lining up a buggerload of legal problems for themselves further down the line.

Then there’s the price-gouging that they’ve gotten into with their online subscription model and instability on some hardware.

How to trust them?

For people starting a new business in a creative industry I don’t think Adobe is the obvious choice that it once was.

Y not?

Y tho.

Is it because their planes keep falling apart or because they keep murdering people?

I work with print a lot too. Very interested in the imminent release of GIMP 3.0 with it’s colour upgrades.

Using your belt/waistband is a comfortable and good way of stopping your arms dangling and flopping around while you relax/sleep.

Just enjoy buddy.

I actually think that it wouldn’t take too many more people using GIMP for the name of the program to be considered the primary meaning of the word in English.

No worries :) It’s a big release and is gonna really bring GIMP up to date. I’m super excited about it!

Then it would be nice if they could chill out and not take themselves so seriously. Good to know if they’re making the discussion shit by removing stuff though, as we can just use different communities.
