I’m ignorant about that, care to elaborate?

Isn’t Eugen Rochko the owner of Mastodon? Isn’t he and his company responsible for what happens to it?

I dont know about bloat people keep talking about, I actually use Samsung apps since they’re very good… And I dont see any dip in performance or battery, so I’d like to know where are you people coming from.

People are pissed but I actually liked the link, so thank you.

Funny enough, I find Gnome to be more consistent and better thought than macOS… But that’s just me.

Adobe Creative Cloud, which despite the name is pretty much local. And although Microsoft Office works online, it has a series of issues that the desktop version doesn’t have, like broken formatting on Word.

The thing that irks me the most is that those things work. They’ll see a little complain from the most vocal ones, and that’s it. The revenue will increase, their shareholders will be pleased, the OS will be worse, and we’ll have no viable alternative.

Unless governments start to regulate the hell out of tech companies, it’s only downhill from there.

Edit: about Linux, it’s not viable if you’re outside IT or rely on commercial software. That’s a debate for another post.

Ah yes, let’s go back to that amazing time of pure innovation where every fucking company had their own connector standard for data, power and audio. Good times.

Im cautiously curious to see if they can pull it off.

We’ll have a battery that will be thousands of times more energy dense that what we have today. The tech industry will make those the size of a rice grain so we can have thinner products and the exact same battery life of electronics today. 😑

Considering that’s one of the two objects humanity ever have on direct contact with the medium outside the limits of our solar system, and the only tool we’ll have there for at least four decades, I’d argue that yes, it is pretty valuable.

The repair from distance part is nothing to be shy about, too.

Excellent! This will guarantee that I’ll have no Copilot running on my machine.

Not good enough, it should have cancelled the feature altogether.

It looks like a chicken and egg problem: you don’t have commercial software available on Linux so people won’t use it, so you don’t have enough user base to justify the development of Linux versions. This won’t be solved unless a big company like Valve decides that Linux is the way and start solving basic issues like usability and installation of apps.

Yes, I am being a jerk because GIMP gets routinely thrown around as a Photoshop alternative,which is not. You say I cherry picked a user base, but who are the people that actually pays to use Adobe Cloud? I assure you that they are mostly professionals, because the subscription is expensive.

Now, the “many people” don’t need Photoshop. In fact, there’s no reason they should even install it. But people say “Photoshop” and hear “GIMP” as alternative, and this should stop because the app is objectively bad. There’s Krita, there’s Photopea, there’s Darkroom, there’s myPaint, there’s even Inkscape. Anything is light years ahead that thing, yet it’s recommended again and again like a sad joke made to inflict pain on its users.

GIMP is not a good tool. Stop using, stop recommending it.

You know what’s funny? I dream of a form factor like the Nintendo Switch: fully plastic, even the screen, so I could put a high quality glass screen protector like the one I have on the console. The thing is a tank, surviving many falls without a single damage, and I had to swap the protector once in all these years I have it.

I dont know, I’m pretty happy with my S22 running OneUI 6.1 and it feels really fast. Also, the native apps like Health, Notes, Mail and Calendar are really good, and I don’t use Browser because it doesn’t have a desktop app to share bookmarks like Firefox.

Thank you

Yeah, say that to professionals whose workflow rely on the thight integration and features of Adobe’s software. I’m sure migration to a piece of crap software with a S&M name that can’t even do CMYK will work great.

Affinity is a good alternative still, at least until Canvas implement the subscription model (which I still believe they will do).

Ooohhh… I see, my bad. But a little disclosure would help…
