It looks like it could be photoshop, or even maybe a catfish? Nothing can be said for certain, and I’m sure every F1 journalist is pouring over it trying to validate the existance

The court was supposed to be the main arbitrator of the checks and balances, because it was initially believed that they weren’t corruptible. That’s obviously not the case, and we’re all screwed because of it

As far as I know, at least relative to their peers in the private sector. It was discussed on Reddit all the time, but it’s basically the same concept as game dev. There’s always somebody with a ton of passion ready to replace you for less money, so salaries never go up.

Add on the insane hours they work, it’s not a great deal

The engineers and staff have gotten a massive shafting by F1 with the budget cap. It’s be decent for most of the on track action, but we all know when savings are needed, the people are the first to go. F1 salaries were already abysmally low in comparison to similarly skilled engineers, and this will make sure to depress them even more

The Linux series was one of the best, because it showed what would happen if someone who didn’t know what they were doing tried to move to Linux. Linux shills have been preaching “it’s the year of the Linux desktop” forever now, but since it’s so different from windows and macOS there’s a massive learning curve that only shows up once you’ve switched.

I would bet 8/10 people who have used windows/macOS for 30+ years would have many of the same problems as Linus did. I know I’ve made many of the same mistakes that were made by Linus/Luke in that series, including accidentally nuking my DE.

Linux sucks as a desktop if you aren’t already familiar with Linux from the terminal. There’s a few edge cases, but for the most part it’s not a good experience if you do anything more than web browsing.

I’m no Linus shill, though I do enjoy their content for the most part. He’s not a tech god like people make him out to be, he’s just a slightly above average tech nerd who’s a good presenter. And that’s the audience that the Linux shills are trying to push the OS onto.

Nope. I’ve fully accepted that in whatever extinction level event I’ll be gone in the first couple waves, and that’s how I want it.

I’ve got no skills to be able to survive on this planet alone. I’d just be prolonging my suffering, and I feel very little need to do that.

And Stanford hates that they have to accept her too. I’m amazed they haven’t gone the way of the ivies and just stopped scholarship sports outside of the Olympic ones

Twitch still has critical mass. YT Streaming is still horrible, Kick is a giant advertisement for Stake and Mixer died years ago.

As long as they can find a way to milk more money out of users they’ll stay around.

They’ve never once made money. Twitch is a massive money pit where 99% of the creators on the platform are explicitly leeching while bringing nothing by way of income.

It’s mostly Linux and Politics, and most of my niche hobbies (and even most of the non-niche ones) are barely represented here, if at all.

It’s really disappointing. I have always been one to consume content, not create it, and it feels like if you’re not creating content there’s very little of interest. I want to like the app, but I find myself spending more time browsing Reddit in a web browser on my phone rather than using Lemmy.

Same. CSGO and typing in the game chat got me proficient enough to type quickly.

Technically Maya and Cinema4d are still the industry leaders (from my understanding, there’s also likely a lot of proprietary tools used). However you’re right about Blender being a competitor now. And that has to do with the fact that it’s almost feature “complete” in comparison to its competitors.

Linux is non-viable for a whole lot of people, just based on the number of Adobe subscriptions. It’s fine for people to use windows. It’s also fine for people to not care about the bad parts about windows. The same way there is for Linux. It’s great at a lot of things, but it’s really bad at most other things. Windows just works, but there’s plenty that it takes away from the user. It’s all about how much troubleshooting you’re willing to do, and in my case that’s next to none.

It doesn’t matter why it’s that way. It matters that it is. Linux is non-viable in a lot of industries. The Linux Vegans consistently refuse to accept that FOSS alternatives are only alternatives in name. As competing products they’re almost always missing features, functionality and/or performance that the industry leader has. Ask any graphic artist about GIMP vs Photoshop and there’s a pretty clear winner, and it’s not just because of familiarity.

This is a net win. Now they won’t be recommended to everyone trying to do hardware comparisons. The bias in their results has pretty much made them worthless as a source since Ryzen released.

Then let it take hours. That’s how you learn. She’s not going to learn to remember to save regularly if you just sweep the mistake under the rug and do the heavy lifting for her the second time around.

Every single one of us has been bitten by auto save that didn’t work. I’ve personally lost hours worth of code to auto save glitches and poorly timed save runs. People don’t trust it because in the past it has had and/or caused problems with their workflow.

Ctrl+S is a manual confirmation that I saved it, and is a step taken before running any code, especially through a terminal in an IDE where if the auto save hasn’t kicked in will mean the changes aren’t reflected.

Bluetooth is pretty much useless for peripherals and I’d never trust it.

Cloud storage is slow, expensive and small. External drives are still significantly cheaper per GB than cloud storage.

100% I hate this dumbass trend of putting multiple optional standards into a single cord. They did it with HDMI and confused everyone, and USB-C is the same.

Bluetooth latency makes that extremely unattractive

Exclusively Voyager for Lemmy. I’m also not really interested in making custom tools.

There’s also the problem of that filtering out half of the active content on the platform.
