As I job-hunt, every job listed over the past year has been “AI-drive [something]” and I’m really hoping that trend subsides.
I should research what would be required for that.
I’ll give them credit for sticking with it so far. I even keep getting updates. But I assume they’re brainstorming ways to end the one-time payment installations.
Yeah I’m not going to pay their subscription. The whole point was to avoid Adobe.
Pay three times as much for a “feature” nobody asked for.
I like this (and largely follow it), except that I occasionally need CMYK color space for printing, and GIMP makes that extreeeeeeeeemely difficult and annoying. That’s why I use Affinity. I got the software for the single lifetime price and I’m hoping they let me keep it…
That’s too bad since they recently purchased the excellent Affinity suite… which I originally bought for a single lifetime price, but they’re switching to a subscription model. So my favorite editing suite might get ruined two ways.
This is cool, but are they really the beast we need to bring back? Where will they stay?
I think most of us have a good idea of the benefits and drawbacks of Linux/Windows/Apple.
I have a Windows machine for media production, because Linux doesn’t support all the software I need for media production. I use Linux for absolutely everything else, because it’s better for literally everything else. In truth, a MacBook Pro would be better for media production but they’re too expensive.
$44 is more than my gym membership, and they have dozens of bikes and other equipment. These Peloton people are diseased.
I’m quoting OP’s summary (or quote). I’m implying that Microsoft is hostile to Linux installations generally.
“wasn’t supposed to”
Something so simple shouldn’t require maintenance.
I did actually read the article and I did not miss the point even a little bit.
yeah a lot of their stuff is junk
My T16 is fantastic. I wish it were more moddable, but it’s an amazing machine. Extremely quiet and powerful, I love the 16:10 screen. They keyboard is amazing too. Framework also has 16:10 screens and they’re more moddable, but I doubt their keyboards are any good. And as a profitable company they should pay people for advertising and data collection.
This will inevitably translate into “Cute and toothless fuzzy animal avatars psychotically manipulating users with fun child-like language and something about diversity.”
AI will obviously be used primarily to manipulate people and sell stuff. Corporations own it, they want to control us and get our money and data, the “vision” stapled on top of that is meaningless except as propaganda.
AI better cure cancer if we’re using this much energy on it.
