The pushback would be when they cry about monetary losses for something they literally don’t even sell anymore. Is this not why they’re always trying to take down ROM sites?

Which is why there needs to be better pushback “Okay, so where exactly are you selling a functional SNES cart that I can plug into my SNES and play?” as an example.

softwares

Was this always a word? I’ve heard and seen it a lot recently but I could have sworn the plural of software was still software.

The only time I’ve seen it close to being pluralized differently was “warez”

A neighbor of mine gifted me Thief 2 Gold Edition when I was younger and it blew my mind. Getting to eavesdrop on the guards having random convos, and getting caught because I didn’t drag a body out of the way. It was wild back then. I’ve been tempted to play it again but I’m not sure how well it’s aged and I don’t want to ruin my memories

People should educate others on how to get content not available in their area for free without the hassle.

If media isn’t available in your area, then the company is telling you they don’t want your money. There is a $0.00 loss to them if you pirate it.

He’s been on Twitch for a while now, too!

Wait, some countries didn’t have letters on their dialpads? Maybe this was just a thing in English speaking countries?

All I’m saying is don’t get comfortable and complacent in what we have now. A sudden flood of funding can do wonders to enshitify something good.

And back in the day we had CMD that was pretty powerful. Things are great now but if Linux sees a huge flock of new users, and they become the status quo then we could be in trouble.

Worst case scenario: widows goes tits-up and everybody flocks to Linux. Solid ground for a potential commerical swing to happen.

It’s almost mind-blowing how people still rely on Azure, Windows, and MS Office for really sensitive shit. Like, MS might as well be an arm of the US Government if they aren’t already. All the foreign governments storing sensitive shit in Azure servers is just fucking wild to me. So what if the data centres are stored outside of the USA? The parent company is still the parent company.

My biggest concern is the whole “removing powerful features = user friendliness!” mentality that these big tech companies have been pushing for years.

Why make users smarter when you can make software worse and charge more for it?

The dummies don’t get the bigger picture, they just see “nobody needs powerful features that make things too confusing for me!” My hope is that they don’t flood Linux with this drivel - profit margin or not, it’s a toxic cultre that has already been created in commercial software.

I hope this doesn’t mean the enshitifcaiton of Linux as we start to cater for people who don’t want to learn… We watched it with Microsoft products, though they also had a profitable reason to nerf their software.

I think Krita does proper CMYK

Also, for Arch folk: AUR isn’t a traditional repo. Always be careful what you pull from there. Check pkgbuild files for weird shit and avoid unpopular bin files.

That I’m not sure… I’ve never used it to print.

Why would it surprise me in even the slightest? It surprises me that people would default to a specific gender when all there is to go by is a username - I would expect they/them/[username] to be the typical reference.

What surprises me more is how judgmental and hostile people are here in the absolutely horrible assumptions they’re making about me, because of a very obviously sarcastic remark I made about changing the only thing I could think of having a gendered term to a gender neutral term in the documentation for an application… My bad for mistaking “documentation” for manpages, and for somehow thinking a thread about Ladybird would be about the project’s previous name and a myriad of other projects. How foolish of me not to be psychic in a thread calling out people for trying to be psychics in commits and code comments, right?

Ah, thanks!

Get him to check out Krita. It has Photoshop style binds but they’re missing a few things gs you’ll have to set… But depending on what he does with Photoshop and how adaptable he is, it could be a viable solution.

So wait, what does any od that have to do with Ladybird? The comment they replied to was literally about Ladybird… Ooooookay then.

Isn’t Graphene still Android? What’s stopping Google from turfing AOSP so you won’t be able to sideload to them either?

We need something completely independent from Android. Would be great if phone manufactures would make their pocket computers easier to interface like tradition PCs.
