Before I even knew to hate Adobe, they were my favorite company to pirate from in college. Them and ChaosGroup
I am admittedly not a super-user, I basically only use vector and raster editing maybe once every 6 months, but for what it’s worth I’ve managed to survive using affinity for most of my needs. I work in the AEC industry so we have a different PDF editor (thankfully)
I think affinity avoids getting under Adobe’s skin by omitting certain popular features (for example, Designer still does not have image trace, which was probably 50% of what i used illustrator for), but otherwise they’re serviceable
for what it’s worth - I’ve heard some people have limited success running affinity software on linux
Haven’t tried it myself, and they’re upfront about some features being broken, but it might check enough boxes to work.
Who can really blame him, every time he steps foot in public he’s either being yelled or shot at.
Having to do you rallies in a bulletproof glass box because people keep pointing guns at you is kinda like having to wear a condom because your partner has an active STD flareup.
This is excellent, thanks for sharing
I feel like “diet mountain dew” is a dig at Hasan
Let them think he’s a communist.
The term clearly has lost all meaning to this person, might as well let them be haunted by it everywhere they look
Lmao isn’t that allegedly his soc account?
Is he just manufacturing political commentary about himself?
Aside from basically all the details except for people being murdered with the involvement of a weapon that originated in a country, it’s a perfect comparison!
It’s easy to radicalize them, the tricky part is radicalizing them in the right direction
Yup, it was in the ‘progressive politics’ comm, which is moderated by TokenBoomer who seems to have similar politics to Linkerbann. I’ve actually never been around so many libs just barely hanging on to the edge like this, I’m more familiar with reddit where there isn’t even the pretext of being progressive.
These people are so desperate to hold onto their benevolent self-identity that they will literally say anything to affirm their status in both camps. I have to imagine they are having a quiet crisis of identity behind their phone screen, otherwise I simply cannot fathom how they can be so politically incoherent
I saw an exchange yesterday where a lib was insisting the US is responsible for Israel’s genocide in the same way that Sweden is responsible for the Columbine shooting because the gun used was manufactured there.
That exchange actually broke me
FYI this conflict was precipitated by a discussion on the vegan comm about feeding cats a vegan diet
We’re at a sports bar. All sports lead to gambling, and Wall Street has always been about gambling, too. So I thought, why not combine the two? If you’re watching football or baseball and you’ve got money riding on it, it’s the same thing with stocks. People get attached to these things for better or worse. It’s the way our times work.
Gamba and finance bros, name a more iconic duo.
Imo it’s not as unpleasant as tree jizz in the spring
I highly recommend his concerts, you leave feeling very uplifted
All my hobbies only last a couple months before I lose interest. That’s why gaming is good, though; I can usually satisfy my need for change by picking a different game
I do think the meds would help, but I’m often taking a med vacation when I’m thinking of playing games
FNV is the other one in my library I bought thinking I’d like it because it’s so fondly talked about.
I keep thinking about trying BG3 but I have a feeling it’ll end the same way
Why the fuck did they think rolling him put was a good idea??
Hes not even popular in his home state
