  • I mainly use Inkscape nowadays. If I need to design graphics for print I'm installing Illustrator again. While Inkscape is really competent today it's nowhere near Illustrator in usability or features.

    Dealing with type or layers in Inkscape is a nightmare compared to Illustrator.

  • They're not trying to sell a bright future like military recruiters in the US. People are forced to do their military service by law and the recruiters are responsible to match the drafted people with the role that fits best.

  • Metro was genius on Windows Phone. Not so much on Windows 8.

    What was even worse than Metro on Windows 8 was Metro on Windows 2008. OMFG.. the amount nervous breakdowns I've had when remoting a server in a window, trying to click the pixel in the bottom left corner to access the start menu.

  • Swede here.

    Just clarifying some things.

    Sweden is not dropping renewable energy. We are (at least for now) going to include nuclear energy among the other alternatives such as water, wind and solar.

    But here's one of the problems we are trying to solve with nuclear power:

    Sweden is a major producer of high quality steel and we have set a target to become CO2 free in 2045 when it comes to steel production.

    Currently the steel production in Sweden is responsible for 5500000 metric tons of CO2 per year and we have plans to go 0 CO2 by 2045.

    To be able to do this we need, just for the CO2 free steel production, 70 TWh per year.

    In 2020 there were 4333 wind turbines 26TW of electricity in Sweden. While you might think that we'd just build 9000 more it will not likely not solve the main problem with wind and solar power production: reliability.

    So either we continue using fossil fuel to produce steel or we don't. It's as easy as that.

  • I use ChimeraOS on an old i5 box with Intel graphics for my couch co-op addiction.

    ChimeraOS is SteamOS from Steamdeck but for x86/AMD64. Supports not only Steam but also Epic and a bunch of emulators.

    Installation was plugnplay except for one hiccup with sound not going through HDMI . Googled and fixed it in 2 minutes.

  • That's why life is hard for grownups. You have to decide what you think is important and not.

    With your way of seeing things it looks like no one should be criticised since no one is without sin?

  • Don't you don't think that a CEO highly affects (if not sets and controls) the strategy, priorities and direction of an organization?

    If you agree with that, would you then agree that a CEOs values and way of doing things highly affects they way he sets strategy, prioritizes and in what direction the organization should move?

  • First: I run LineageOS on my S5.

    With that said: With market share of less than 3 million out of the billions of Android devices sold I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter how good Lineageos is in this discussion.

    How many different devices are officially supported by Lineageos? 150? How many different devices have official LineageOS support offered by the hardware vendors?

    My point is that LineageOS is not an alternative if I'm not an enthusiast or I'm not willing to risk getting into a heated discussion about warranty if my device breaks.

    Furthermore, since not even Google release open source drivers for their devices there is only so much LineageOS can do when the hardware vendors decides a certain Android version is the last version supported on a device.

    So just because I can put together my own version of privacy first Android it doesn't mean I can actually run it on my device.

  • It's a joke mentioning "Android" and "Privacy" in the same sentence.

    Google can add whatever permission structure and features they way but as long as you, the owner and use of the service, is not allowed to set whatever permissions and/or remove whatever apps you like you do not have any privacy.

    I've owned q Android phones as my personal phone since my first Galaxy S3 but I don't have any illusion regarding privacy as long as Google and Samsung are the true masters over my device.

    For example...The devices sold today are fully capable of even firewalling on app level so that the user would be able to control exactly what hosts the Chinese app he/she installed is able to talk to.

    But noooo.... Who would want such an feature?

  • I feel ya. I'm never logged in to Reddit anymore and if a search result pointe to Reddit I always go in incognito.

    I will eventually batch edit my posts to crap and delete my account but it's an old account with 10 years of experiences, Aha-moments and other feelings... So I'm not ready yet....
