The Adobe suite for work and the Affinity suite for myself. I use scrivener too but I'm sure I've seen open source alternatives for that and it keeps everything buried in rtf if I get stuck.
I know there are open source graphics programs available but affinity is the best I've used (much better than Adobe) and the forum posts Ive seen about Wine aren't encouraging.
Honestly, I think being on Lemmy is what put the idea back into my head in the first place. I have a permanent case of grass-is-always-greener so whatever I'm using, I want to be using something else.
I'm still toying with the idea of replacing my OS with linux, in spite of knowing it's a Bad Idea (because of software compatibility). Wouldn't it be nice if companies you pay money to were a little open to the idea of creating flatpaks?
This is it. You select which categories you want (lower back, legs etc), and how long you want to spend doing it. I just used the free version so there were a couple of ads to skip at the end but it really made a difference.
You've reminded me that I've got an app that walks me through easy stretch programs. I was using it right before bed a while ago and noticed a real difference but got out of the habit. I should probably pick it up again.
Day off today. I took Mum out for breakfast and spent the afternoon watching the ultimate chick flick: The Bodyguard. I haven't seen it since I was a teenager and I must have seen the cleaned-up-for-tv version because it was a bit different to how I remembered. Anyway, I think I'm finally ageing into the target market for sappy shit and I can't decide if that's a bad thing or not.
I have a computer-based job but this morning I got to move heavy machinery and bust out a bag of grease. I learnt that my nose is programmed to itch as soon as I get all mucky, and our fancy bathroom soap is no match for whatever blue gunk I was using. But the machine in question still goes and sounds a lot better than it did before so I'm counting it as a win.
Already at work but the sun is out and it's not freezing so mood is good. This morning I made a goal list for the week, just a couple of things to try and keep in mind so I'll see how that goes.
How is it only 1.7° at 9am? Although it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day. There may be a trip to the flea market this morning to see about fresh veges but other than that, no real plans.
I hate that farmers seem to think the only options are dairy or forestry, or in my area, grapes. No one seems to grasp that a monoculture in any particular is a bad idea and if it goes belly-up, the way dairy is going to, there's nothing to fall back on. With food supplies getting a little shaky you'd think there'd be a push to start growing more stuff locally so we have less reliance on other countries and on shipping, but I guess planting out crops means Fonterra won't be funding next years' Ford Ranger purchase.
Windows in a VM is a good idea but the way I distro-hop I should probably start with it the other way around. What is your main distro of choice?
