Yeah there’s no easy win, Affinity is the closest competitor but it’s worth keeping in mind that they’re not the anti-adobe, they’re not fighting for accessible open software, especially not since they’ve sold out to Canva.

I am still happy with my purchase and I think it’s a good deal tho esp on a sale, just worth the consideration.

I’d add that they often have steep sales, and Black Friday is coming, but also while affinity is an underdog their formats are just as closed source if not more so than Adobe

Font-size and line-height are different properties

Not sure what the issue is with it really, is it just that it’s different? Maybe I’m in a niche group that reads comments while watching the video but it seems to me like a good improvement, and you can still go full screen if that’s an issue. Idk tho I don’t have access to this layout yet, just my impression based on the screenshots I’ve seen

God bless you

I tried heroic on my steam deck and it’s okay but I wouldn’t use it over Steam’s UI which says a lot.

Even within its niche gog Galaxy still lacks a lot of features steam has, like communities, mod support, Linux support, and a few others.

Depends with what you might want to achieve, some people will say inkscape or gimp. In my minimal experience while they win in some departments like plugins and features their UX and UI is really not as good, but that’s just how it worked for me, some people would swear by them.

That’s just an excuse imo, it’s the exact thing apple is known for, using fine print to be an asshole

It’s a very good app suite that gets the UX right esp if you use multiple of their apps but it falls short in areas that Adobe has had more r&d money thrown at, such as vector tracing, proper vector brushes, and proper psd support (you can import psd files, you cannot export fully editable psd files). I used it myself for branding and UI design for a few years and it’s definitely worth the money, but they do have some issues as I’ve said before. Their file format isn’t open source either afaik and there is no plugin support so it’s a friendlier looking and cheaper closed ecosystem.

The fact apple has the option to accept or deny a third party store means they get to decide what third party stores are allowed on their device. The spirit of the law that the EU punished them for would say that apple should not have any say in what the users install on their devices, similar to how Aptoide, f-droid, and other third party app stores exist on android without requiring Google’s approval. Apple is just doing all they can to comply to the smallest legal degree they can to make as much money as possible from the waiting period between EU wristslaps.

The fact apple gets to decide which app stores are allowed and which aren’t kind of defeats the point of this decentralisation attempt

You’re being slowly boiled alive, frog friend

They do make it very hard to speak about anything else

That’s 90% of a year’s revenue they could be missing out if they fixed it now, yeah

Don’t see why that’d be the case, they might focus on it being a lighter model or something that also happens to have lower specs

I’d argue you can go much cheaper. Also their real competitor in terms of standalone hmds is Meta, not beyond. Beyond is a niche pc only product, not a standalone experience with social potential.

Quest 3 adoption is super high compared to where quest 1 or 2 were at years ago, the apple vision pro wasn’t meant to create mass adoption anyway, not at that price point.

Well the good thing about their licensing is that you can buy a version and stick with it in spite of whatever the parent company does, and you’re not banned from using older versions like with Adobe’s T&Cs

Also if the ads were actually curated and we didn’t have crypto scams running amok
