Check out Krita, it's a much easier lift for someone used to photoshop ime.

At least, if you're doing digital art. Not as full featured for editing of photo's.

Oh hey, the company that orchestrated my first layoff!

Highly recommend Plunder (ISBN: 978-1541702103) for those who want to learn more about the enshittification these companies bring.

I believe their point is that people switching to Chrome _is_ turning off their adblocker.

Ah, good catch. At work so didn't play with it too much.

Tbh, would probably still recommend rendering it with pandoc because the h1's being split that way does annoy me, but at least it gets the content right.

Good looking typesetting from markdown is surprisingly hard. Played with it a while myself, and it's really not fun.

.... is what I was going to say until I went and hit the print button and 10% of the text was missing and everything was right aligned in the top right corner.

Yikes. You may find it worthwhile to clone the repo, iterate over it with pandoc to make A Big HTML File and then use your browsers print feature or pandocs converter. That's about as good as you'll get without a lot of pain ime.

Pretty sure the dead sibling to this comment shouldn't be dead.

The upside of this is I can point my semi-technical but not Linux savvy parent at it and say "Press the install button".

As much as I love pmOS, it's just not there unfortunately.

For sessions on the same target host you could use tmux.

If you're worried about Windows 10's/11's telemetry, you should read Discord's TOS.

There is currently a bill in the Texas house to ban transition for people of all ages.

Also, minors would receive hormone blockers - which are reversible and safe. ...and also still prescribed for cases such as precocious puberty.

> Every game card is playable, no matter how out of date the Switch is, without any internet connection.

This is mostly accurate, but not entirely afaict. I had to connect my switch to wifi in order to update the OS to play Xenoblade 3 (or Tears of the Kingdom? It's been a while).

So, I'm very visibly queer and from the south. I have always been appreciative of gestures like this or in the parent comment - because it is not a safe thing there to assume that people would be accepting.

New comment by Shared404 in "Why did clothing become boring?"

Shared404 — Thu, 05 Dec 2024 14:32:21 +0000

I don't think clothing is any more boring than computers or photography or painting or drawing or running or cooking or martial arts or reading or woodworking or cars or makeup or any other hobby. Which is not to say all of those interest me, but is to say any field is going to be interesting to some but not to all.

For my case, for most of my life I hated thinking about clothes, hated anything other than big hoodies/jeans/jackets, saw it as purely utilitarian. Eventually after some soul searching and realizations/some new medication, I have discovered that I quite like using my clothing to express myself, my mood, what I'm doing, and so on.

Fast fashion is very dumb though in my opinion. No reason to be wasteful and throw things away, but there's a middle space that can be very rewarding to explore - the first time I put on a skirt was quite literally life changing.

IMO the latest update is the best option. Or a syntax like (, updated ) if the update was not super substantial.

Not only that, something which did work as a five minute gimmick! I remember playing the original "There is no game" on Kongregate back in high school.

Wow, thanks for that link.

I'm not, and never have been Catholic, but do have a complicated relationship with my own religion.

Seeing my own thoughts through a different lens was very interesting.
