Played around with the photoshop equivalent. It's pretty impressive what it has so far, everything seems to work on my existing PSD projects. The main thing I can't seem to do now is import Actions.

Not experiencing any of these issues today testing with some of my projects. Main issue I see is I'm unable to import Actions.

Maybe it's been updated since his post, but I experience none of these issues in my testing.

Just don't use google search. I haven't used it in years.

At most you might try to argue negligence, but there's no sign that OpenAI is being a malicious bad actor here. Adding unwanted elements to image generation is undesirable by all parties, including OpenAI.

That one isn't stealing either.

People understand it just fine. Civilized people just reject it because Marx was a fool, and only followed by other fools and adult children.

I'd be happy to buy if it they add proper linux support. I have an AMD card and I don't feel like fighting with the install process.

Tim Schafer has had a pretty good run over his career

yeah, it's meaningful when you can tell a particular designer's touch on a game

Yeah, it's nothing against the platform itself, it just happened to get a population boost from dissatisfied people. It seems so many of them are just miserable and there to create a feedback loop of negativity.

W3cUYxYwmXb5c — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 15:17:20 +0000

The TSA has always been taxpayer-funded security theater, and routinely fails at it's own job.

Airports and Airliners should be paying for their own security.

This is conflating different things. They are trying to use people's annoyance with the banner THEY caused to build support for another legislation.

Cookies were never a problem. Just get rid of the banner.

This other legislation should pass/fail on its own merit.

W3cUYxYwmXb5c — Thu, 25 Jul 2024 20:31:21 +0000

This is a very good and understated point. One of the benefits we have as employers is being unattached. If things go bad, we can cut and run to some other company. On the other hand, the owners and primary investors are by definition more invested, and have to actual bear the burden of failure. I definitely didn't want that level of involvement in most of the companies I have worked for.

It means you are providing two factors, not necessarily that you only have two factors.

There are benefits to this. I've left my phone at work, and would have been SOL, except I have a tablet that never leaves my home which can also provide my second factor.

Been using this for a few years now. First grabbed it because I wanted a linux alternative to ShareX, but now I use it on windows too. It's great!

Yeah, my organization does not disclose, but I can say I've used AdonisJS in production in the financial industry for about for about 6 years now.
