The biggest revelation for me when I switched to Photoshop for work about 4 years ago is that non-destructive editing is sooooo much nicer.
I always had dozens of "backup" layers in my years with Gimp just in case I messed something up. I was always cautious about the order in which you had to do things. I was amazed with photoshop at the fact that you could edit text after warping, gradient coloring and outlining it. Saved so much hassle.
I read non-destructive is in the pipelines for Gimp, and that would finally make it start become a viable alternative again.
That's the thing though... how could you investigate something (which costs time, thus money) without letting someone pay for it? Would you suggest that alleged victims should pay for the investigation instead?
What construction would be reasonable for you to investigate wrongdoings?
As a dog person, I always begrudingly wished the dogs would have participated in some sort of memewar. The cats got all the "aww cute" memes, while dogs got all the "herpyderp" memes.
But I guess that's why I like dogs more than dictatory, selfimposed, greater-than-thou cats.
What are you currently using instead of Adobe's suite?
I know about inkscape. And although I applaud the efforts, Scribus and Gimp seem to be no match for Indesign and Photoshop.
My point is that checkers actually still is very mich complex. Tictactoe is not and every board position can reasonably be managed by a human.
With checkers, that is unfeasable. That's why I am of the opinion that checkers is unfairly treated as "the simple game" when for humans it is far from simple.
It really is an insult for checkers as a game. It is a common misconception that it's simple. The game has surprising amount of depth, and the saying "x is playing chess while y is playing checkers" should really die.
X is playing chess while Y is playing tictactoe would be a better analogy.
Although it might feel like it's really important to stay on top of messages outside of those concentrating times, it really is not. Set your own terms for when to read messages and silence your app altogether.
"But what if I miss out on...?"
Don't let fomo control you. It will awkward at first wanting to check constantly, but you'll find that in reality you don't miss much if you check once or twice a day.
If the operating system doesn't matter (like in this article and in most conversations), I just say: smartphones (or phones). If the operating system matters, I mention the operating system (android or iOS) once and then just call it phone/smartphone. Or Android phone. Never called multiple android phones "Androids" though.
I dont call two Microsoft pc's "two Microsofts" either.
But today I learned that it is apparantly normal to call it Androids. I really never encountered the term before.
