I mean I love that they are sticking it to Adobe but they are slop by nature. If it’s at least useful slop or if you should just use the actual open-source alternatives is debatable, I don’t have any talent with these programs anyway. I’d say learn the open-source alternatives but maybe try the artcraft stuff if you truly can’t do something in the open-source program, but that’s just my uneducated opinion.

We didn’t even read those, some other classes in our grade did, but our selection was absolutely horrible. I like reading, but I never actually finished the books in school since they were just horrendous.

In Germany not a single thing. We call ourselves “land of poets and thinkers” yet the books I had to read during my time in school only made most people despise books in general. What a joke.

Yeah, they would both be lying and admiting to vibecoding so idk how that would make it better

I feel like with Linux finally becoming not only close to as good but arguably better than Windows (I consider “as good as Windows” an insult at this point) switching to yet another OS entirely will only create more divide. Linux is going in a direction where some caution is definitely needed, but myself, I’ll stick to trying to make Linux better so more people will break free from these fucking corporations. I’ll definitely keep an eye on BSD tho, I can’t say I’m not interested.

Advance Wars 1 and 2, absolute bangers

Yeah, I noticed right away that it was ChatGPT instead of a shitty but authentic GIMP edit so I considered downvoting for half a second, but the message is so valid that I just upvoted. At least I HOPE that’s the reason why the people downvoted it, if anyone supports that guy, they should go to a mental hospital.

that was a rethorical question

the fuck is this

I still see them in stock from time to time and might even buy a pack here and there, but I can never remember their name. I literally searched for “alte quadratische kaubonbons” (old rectangular chewy candy) haha

Whatever these bad boys are called

Honestly, I try to get back to sleep for a few minutes and if that doesn’t work, I’ll just get up and start my day. Same happened today at 5am, currently 6am and I already updated my phone, read and replied to my e-mails, spent a few minutes here to read a little, it’s not that bad. My argument is that if I try to lay there I will unconciously make the bed a place where I feel frustrated. So I never lay there half awake or bedrot with my phone in the mornings as both of that will lead to me being unable to properly fall asleep in the evening as I will start hating going to bed. Currently I’m on my couch in a blanket, which isn’t far from bedrotting, but I’m not making the bed a place I resent by choosing to stay in there.

Yo why is that more metal than the other logos

Is it truly that hard to be a halfway decent human being in these times?

You could try Windows 10 IoT LTSC from masgrave

No fucking way it installed Windows 11, that’s diabolical

heeeell yeah

I was actually excited to read this because I thought if it was open source, you could just un-Microsoft the code but yeah, that was naive of me. Fucking clowns.

I have never heard of any bank that sends transaction notices per SMS in my country so I don’t see any use in this for me.

Where is the source code? You are posting on Lemmy, an open-source platform and you aren’t providing us a GitHub/Gitlab/Codeberg/whatever link with the source code?

Yes, ten years ago when I already spoke/wrote perfect English on paper but didn’t have much experience talking to actual people (CS GO voice chat doesn’t count) I often had times where what I wrote in English would have been a perfectly reasonable way to express an emotion in German, but the other person found it odd. Of course I didn’t literally translate a German expression 1:1, that would not be the yellow of the egg (ha). Instead I struggled to for example with a general way to acknowledge the feelings of the other person, I always got confused responses since the words in isolation were grammatically correct and in German would have been empathic enough, but the, I wanna say, “social weight” of the words was actually way off. Again, I was already speaking perfect English back then, but with no real-world experience. Societal differences may have also played a role, as Germans are generally regarded to be more cold than the English or the inhabitants of the FSA (Facistic States of America) plus me having autism didn’t exactly provide for a good basis of understanding the weight or intended emotion of the words I chose back then. Now I think I have a good understanding, but I have to conciously “translate the emotion” as well as the actual language. So yeah, I completely get you.
