Yeah, major bullet dodged there. Just when I started actually appreciating Figma and heard about the Adobe plans, I automatically felt like I just need to hate Figma to not get used to it too much — just in case.

Affinity is great and gets better, Figma stays great and gets better, for now at least, all fine with me. No Adobe logo anywhere in sight — good news for me.

Tunic is really amazing, besides lovely graphics the overall concept there is top notch.

“The feeling hit me like a point blank shot straight in the face.”

Yup, when I was talking with a few different Microsoft representatives, they just straightforwardly stated that they don’t focus at all on punishing or pushing consequences for “obtained/purchased windows instances via any existing alternative/not supported ways” when it comes to private/home users.

They surely and happily will put the idea of buying a key or official upgrade from their certified resellers locally or online on the table.

It is quite a different story with larger organizations and companies.

Of course all this info is based on just a few talks during the last decade and with incoming subscription (ugh) model a lot will change, I guess.

I always loved to chill and stay last to get off the plane just for this exact view, with a pillow or blanket here and there — something was so strange about it, yet so calming.

Sure, definitely a solid view. I don’t remember who said that, but “the shortest way to solve a problem is knowing which questions to ask and to whom” — something like that.

I really like how this is split almost exactly in half, I would love to see more arrows, more data is always best.

I know, she is amazing, thank you! “Your mom” is great too!

I would just wait for techmoan or crinacle to test it and explain what is what, probably some sort of a cash grab is the correct answer but… maybe?

Sigur Rós — Sæglópur Skream — Exothermic Reaction Caterina Barbieri — Gravity that Binds Thom Yorke — The Eraser (especially the last minute of this song)

That’s why falling in love is a very slippery road — in the emotional sense. If you fall, you will finally hit something, that’s how it works in nature.

Loving someone or building a solid relation based on love with someone is so much harder and not so automatic as falling, it requires committing and communicating — learning a difference is a key to not fall but to be more aware of the process and ones deeper emotions, especially someone else’s.

My guess is that’s why it is easier for so many people to love animals because they don’t fall in love with them, they just feel the love and act accordingly.

— Obviously, all this is a giant oversimplification because this is just a simple comment on the internet, not reality.

…with great form and a lot of style — no room for doubts here.

You might be missing quite a few points in general but I think, I can see where you are coming from…

Yet, there is, at least for me, a big difference in:

Apollo: oh we have some fun icons, people love them, maybe they would pay a little to unlock more and have fun with them, or even better, enjoy the premium subscription and have even more useful stuff

Reddit: well, other apps were selling shit like this and people loved it and payed money for it, we want that money, let’s block what we already have and see what will happen…

— yup, this sounds about right in my imagination

I dunno… why can’t Lemmy just be its own thing tho? I might’ve been using Reddit wrong or something but Lemmy feels so much better from the start for me.

At least if there is an interesting topic or a question I don’t have to scroll thru the same jokes or worse — joke trains, yeah sure, the beans happened, maybe I am getting too old to fully connect with the joke, whatever, but at least it is kinda self-contained, my wild guess would be if beans happened on Reddit, all the comments would be BEANS! for a month everywhere…

From a time perspective — I am really appreciating some amazing posts on Reddit with great histories and comments that I was reading for hours, some great AMAs or even the funny content if it was fresh.

With all this said, overall Reddit was mostly a really specific shit hole for me, yes, shit hole where occasional diamonds occurred but still. I can’t wrap my head around how imaginary internet points can distort even the most basic interactions.

SLINUX — obviously, and I work at SNASA.

This recipe is a solid 9.72/12 but… how did you reapply the whole peel so evenly and nicely? Elaborate, please.

Whose line was it… can’t remember! Anyway…

coming next season: y? / u is y

Luckily for me, anyone who wanted to keep in touch simply has my number to just call or jumped onto Telegram train with me some time ago and then switched for Signal after just a few months.

I don’t know anyone who feels like they owe Zuck anything but I heard quite a few times “I would delete my fb account but I need it for a work group chat because everyone else is there” and I can sometimes see some FOMO there.

But then, now some of those groups afaik are slowly migrating to Discord — which maybe is not perfect but still sometimes any change is a big change.

I am so happy that I’ve deleted my facebook account about 5 years ago and never since then used any app from Zuckercamp.

I still have to make a few more accounts with one of my proton mail addresses and I will de-google myself almost completely, with only youtube as an exception.

For now.

Well, yes. This exist — I am really grateful for that, but… This audio library now contains 15M positions. It is a big number, no doubt about it.

Then, Spotify has over 80M files in the library with around 4M podcasts.

Estimated existing music amount is unclear but around 90-200M and growing all the time.

And suddenly 15M is getting somehow small in terms of preserving, and this is with music only.

With movies I even remember some interviews with Tarantino and Nolan talking about how badly some movies are being mistreated, lost cuts, not even close to proper/safe long time storing, fires, accidents and so on…
