No.

Wait what? I’ve been using windows exclusively for art and music. Not specifically for live music and nothing stops me from that. What are these exclusive Mac apps that can’t be replaced with something else?

Hmm, I haven’t played it. I avoid everything epic store stuff (even though I would have gotten it for free, since I’m childhood friends with one of the devs). So I’m curious, what’s the problem? I’ve heard like three people say that it’s their game of the year already, so I’m curious what’s the issue for you?

That’d be more meaningful if Bethesda had ever managed to create a story with any worth. Sometimes the bones of a decent story are there, but the execution is usually amateur hour.

Yes. Honestly it’s crazy how much people read into ChatGPT, when in practice it’s effectively just a dice roller that depends in incredibly big dataset to guess what’s the most likely word to come next.

There’s been some research about this, the fact that people are assigning intelligence into things that ML does. Because it doesn’t compute for us that something can appear to make sense without actually having any intelligence. To humans, the appearance of the intelligence is enough to assume intelligence - even if it’s just a result of a complicated dice roller.

Just curious, is it a slur or a contraction? Like calling Finnish as “Finn” or Aboriginals as “Abo”? I mean, I’m Finnish and I don’t find the Finn as insulting. Not that I actually have a horse in this race but to me it sounded like a contraction of a word rather than a slur.

In finland everyone I know uses WhatsApp, and my friend circle and family also use Signal. So, eh.

Does iOS actually have 60 percent market share, outside of the US?

Wizard of the Coast license fiasco is about the same. Except of course that “confidence in your product” is a bit of a misnomer. It’s not a confidence in the D&D, but the license. A lot of people were trusting the OGL, and the changes would have fucked over half of the industry with their “retroactive” changes.

Adobe is the killer on your list. There’s no proper alternative. There are alternatives, but they’re fiddly and quality varies between different programs greatly.

75% of the issue would be solved if somehow the Linux community could convince the Affinity team that we’d all buy a Linux version of their software. Then you’d actually get the holy trinity of “illustrator, photoshop, indesign” alternative with great integration between the three.

But since Linux community is rabid about open source and nothing else, it’s not very likely to be happening. So we’ll be living under the rock until Adobe does Linux versions of their software (never). The only reasons why I have windows boot is music production, affinity, and some games.

Wasn’t that Black Isle? Or had they already evolved into their future downfall? It’s been a hot minute since I’ve last looked at BG credits.

Why the hell are you insisting on chromium? It’s such a bad idea to throw all our eggs in one basket.

Someone above mentioned this:

48 degrees Celsius (predicted temp) and 53% humidity (the humidity in Southern Italy today) is a wet bulb temperature of 38.52 degrees Celsius. In the danger zone.
