They have absolutely no idea if evidence was destroyed, and the only thing he is charged with is the possibility that it was.

I still think it's a great concept and a really accessible way to get a great computer. But I agree, I thought this was going to land in the $500 to $700 range. That said, I also bought a mini PC for $250, and that same PC is now going for $600. So I don't really think steam can be blamed for that

I just had the best time migrating to Navidrome / Synfonium. I didn't think it would be as easy or as enjoyable, but it's changed the way I listen to music back to how it was -- listening to albums, not random singles. I'm happy to be free of Spotify. The fact it even works with carplay/ Android auto is remarkable.

New comment by Unicironic in "Where Are the Vibecoded Photoshops?"

I absolutely agree with this. As someone that used to use Photoshop a lot when I was younger, But now just have a few niche use cases for it, I instead vibe-coded image editing for our blog posts exactly the way we need it. The I.e proper dimensions proper cropping, automatically generated. SEO friendly slug, etc. Sure, it's only about 1% of what Photoshop can do if that, but the reality is that unless you're a graphic designer, that's not what you need it for in your workflow anyways. AI allows you to just have a custom workflow without having to buy these massive tools that were built for a million use cases

After switching to Linux, this was one of the very first applications I installed.

It really helped cement how great open source apps can be for me.

It's disheartening to hear people talk about this in terms of won and lost. Is that how you think of these events? I think of them in terms of sadness and horror. The US threatened to obliterate a country and people, because gas was getting a little expensive. If winning and losing is the way you are framing this, instead of thinking about the humans that these actions affect, then we all have lost.

I read it correctly, but got a laugh after reading your comment. Maybe it could be marketable to two very different demographics

It does seem like WaPo has become very vanilla, and unwilling to run anything controversial during T 2.0. I switched to the US version of The Guardian, largely due to WaPo's anti-Palestine bias and feeling like I was just being spoon-fed information that wasn't actually useful. I didn't feel like that 2 years ago, but I guess change is a constant.
