If you are going someplace sensitive, leave your actual phone at home. If you need a phone during that time, pickup a prepaid burner. It sounds extreme, but there are extreme people out there with extreme views about what you should and shouldn’t be doing. Protect yourself.

He gives the wrong shits

It used to be $25. Now it’s $35, waiting for them to raise the threshold further.

You are the hero we deserve. Take my upvote.

I am happy you left it this way.

Take my money.

It’s changing the world, but not in the way we want it to.

Yes

I’ll believe corporations are people the moment Texas executes ones.

I would laugh if Dorsey bought it back for pennies on the dollar and turned it right back into what it was before. Playing the long game.

Aaaaaand it’s been cancelled by the issuing party.

Helldivers can complete any mission in 48 hours. Just ask Sony…

Yeah, an alternative made by the company Serif. No subscriptions, buy it and use it. Replacements for Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. I keep waiting for them to make an Acrobat alternative so I don’t need to source it from somewhere else (and the rest of the company can pickup the product and use it for commenting and proofing).

I am debating the jump to affinity for my department. Weighing the pros and cons now. I use it at home for personal stuff, and it’s fantastic. It still doesn’t get me onto Linux, but at least it’s not Adobe.

The ONLY reason I have a Mac for work is the Adobe suite. As a designer, there is no substitute (GIMP and Inkscape are nice, but they don’t replace Photoshop and Illustrator plus whatever else you get with the sub).

All my home stuff has been swapped over to Linux years ago. If Adobe ever decided to make a native Linux cc suite, I’d dump apple too, but there we are.

You sir, are a monster.

Make that sword rusty and covered in piss, and I’m happy.

This weekend is getting Foundry VTT up with a reverse proxy and certs for voice/video chat. Spinning up a new VM in proxmox and getting HAproxy configured for it (it’s used for the rest of my services).

Ease of installation would be a huge one. Pop was run the installer from USB and go. After it was online there was just installing steam and whatever games I wanted. I have not dug further into void or what its capable of. I wanted as little fiddling as possible. To me the interface felt good out of the box.

I mainly sought out Pop!OS after reading about people’s experience with it and gaming and liked what I heard. I jumped directly from windows 11 to Pop. If void works for you, that’s awesome. This was my “how do I get it running now without messing around” moment. I really just wanted to game, immediately after install. Later on I started to fiddle with things.

I will second Pop!OS. I have it installed on my gaming desktop and have been very satisfied with its stability and ability to play every game I’ve wanted to. Between Steams Proton layer and Wine (with the wineglass GUI) there is nothing I want for right now.

(I do run an AMD card, YMMV with an Nvidia one as I cannot speak to experience with that).

I do use Mint for my laptop/daily driver outside of gaming and love that as well. In my mind the two distributions fit the use cases well.
