Until Open AI announces a new 5t model or something and then the hype refreshes

I'd add that they often have steep sales, and Black Friday is coming, but also while affinity is an underdog their formats are just as closed source if not more so than Adobe

Won't products made in the US with parts imported from outside the US that are then exported have the same problem?

Yeah there's no easy win, Affinity is the closest competitor but it's worth keeping in mind that they're not the anti-adobe, they're not fighting for accessible open software, especially not since they've sold out to Canva.

I am still happy with my purchase and I think it's a good deal tho esp on a sale, just worth the consideration.

I'm confused, how can a company that's gained numerous advantages from being non-profit just switch to a for-profit model? Weren't a lot of the advantages (like access to data and scraping) given with the stipulation that it's for a non-profit? This sounds like it should be illegal to my brain

The fact apple gets to decide which app stores are allowed and which aren't kind of defeats the point of this decentralisation attempt

This is a weird place to show incel behaviour my dude, this isn't about you.

Sadly as many times as needed, complacency is how these companies get "loyal customers" who are willing to put up with bs

It's less that and more the system of prejudice itself is her hero, because she never truly challenges it, and the final state of peace at the end of the books does not require fixing its problems. Voldemort was a bad apple, nothing more (according to her I'd imagine)

That is the opposite of taking accountability though...?

VR is immersive, but it isn't that immersive, especially when it comes to user feedback

Millennials killing the tobacco industry

"Primary" does not mean "always" however

He said that on twitter, while advocating for insurrection in a live speech. If he cared that much he would've gone on a public speech too, but that would've actually been heard by the target demographic

So he's signaling his potential supporters "it's now or never"... again.

You cannot convince something that has no consciousness, it's an matrix of weights that answers based on the given input + some salt

Until they start properly filtering ads they accept they get auto disabled in my side. No weird crypto or porn ads for me, thanks.

Did you read the entire page?

Those were not his only directions to the crowd, however. In the same speech, he also used the following phrases while encouraging people to head to the Capitol and protest his election loss, according to the transcript and video of the speech:

• "We will stop the steal."
• "We will not let them silence your voices."
• "You have to show strength, and you have to be strong."
• "We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing."
• "We're going to try and give [lawmakers] the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country."
• "We're going to have to fight much harder." "We fight like hell, and if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore."

Because a lot of people go to discord servers to access existing information?

Yeah, cause now the cheap competitor they could compare to just got pricier so that means they can also raise prices

Surely they will be sued into oblivion if they tried right? Them being non profit was the main pillar holding up their defense for scraping the web into datasets.

The heck you mean "close enough", 4% is not within margin of error, and even then this is a grave accusation to lump on an entire demographic.

Being relevant for losing appeals against being prosecuted for human trafficking isn't really the desirable kind of clout

Even within its niche gog Galaxy still lacks a lot of features steam has, like communities, mod support, Linux support, and a few others.

Ecosystems and collaboration. If you're already using Adobe for X and Y in your teams, it's cheaper to get a CC license; and as for collaboration Adobe files are proprietary (and tbh so are Affinity files) so it's harder to transition off of them. You can open .psd files in affinity, but wanting to export one will rasterize your text. And you can't even export a .ai file, sure you can do pdfs and that preserves vector information and layers, but that's just friction that businesses wouldn't want to deal with.

Idk this kind of feels like victim blaming. Why should you expect your photos to be used in a way that is so devoid of the original purpose you shared them for? It's like telling people to not go out of the house with money on them, you don't expect to be robbed, so why should you have your entire way of living affected by it instead of punishing robbers when that does happen, or in this case companies that abuse good will.

A bit longer than that. Kakao went after tachiyomi for a number of extensions, the biggest ones being mangadex and bato.to. the Tachiyomi team took the plugins down without fighting back. A day later they announced they're taking down the plugin repo effective immediately, likely out of fear of future action but it also could've been discussed behind closed doors with the Kakao team - we don't know. Now Kakao is trying to sue the entire app, all of its developers and anyone who's forked it on GitHub for infringing copyright.

I mean Harris and "progressive and inclusive" aren't necessarily one and the same, from the sounds of it it's Harris that should be pushing more progressive, but in the context of this election I agree they should be voting for Harris

Even if the UK is not in the EU the GDPR still applies there, just the version it got while it was in the EU tho, no revisions

They cannot change the terms of a license without reserving themselves the right to do so which would be a red flag, this is in reference to future sales of the license for this software.

Read a bit ahead if you may:

Communism deprives no man of the power to appropriate the products of society; all that it does is to deprive him of the power to subjugate the labour of others by means of such appropriations.

Don't let a word have that much power over your life

"looks like the jig is up, it's true, we are committing genocide" said no country ever

I saw this when I was confused how SAMURAI, the fake band from cyberpunk, suddenly got a new album release, and yet it didn't sound anything like the rest of their songs

They'll hinge their position on the least good faith interpretation of EU's anticompetitive lawsuits, and why wouldn't they, they make more money in between these lawsuits than they pay EU for breaking the rules.

Idk critical thinking skills might be good as long as it's not politically backed to single out a specific ideology or propaganda source.

And if the Russians went for your country too would you shout "surrender" then too? Do you have the slightest idea how much speech and media is controlled in Russia? Did the "joke" of Putin's political opponents accidentally falling off windows not translate in your head that that's not the type of govt to allow to rule over others?

It's a very good app suite that gets the UX right esp if you use multiple of their apps but it falls short in areas that Adobe has had more r&d money thrown at, such as vector tracing, proper vector brushes, and proper psd support (you can import psd files, you cannot export fully editable psd files). I used it myself for branding and UI design for a few years and it's definitely worth the money, but they do have some issues as I've said before. Their file format isn't open source either afaik and there is no plugin support so it's a friendlier looking and cheaper closed ecosystem.

Oh I agree, it's very much a "forcing a round peg into a square hole" situation, but I doubt discord will make any changes to push back against it
