Yeah they are popular, they do a really good job of making content available that would otherwise get scattered across a dozen services if it’s even picked up at all. Yeah, the creators deserve to get something for their work but the free market will not provide a good option.

I have Pinta, it’s ok but lacks a lot of the plugins I used and hasn’t been too stable. The graphics editing thing is something that will,just take time for me to rework my workflows. Gimp is great, I’m just not used to it.

It was Fortnite and Fall Guys, I’m not really missing them.

5 in use. Main Gaming PC, Laptop, Game server pc, media server PC, and another for testing things out. Whenever a family member upgrades I get the old one so most of these are pretty old.

I have gimp and other graphics tools, I also have a LOT of hours of use in the ones I mentioned so there are things I know how to do quickly in those programs but not in their counterparts.

I’ve used Linux on every PC except my gaming PC for years. This year I made the final leap because of decisions like this from Microsoft.

Very few games have failed to work, the ones that have are all from Epic and they fail because of their shitty anticheat software. The only other things I feel the lack of are paint.net and the Affinity apps.

I switched to just using Docker and nginx reverse proxy. It’s more setup initially but less overhead.

Most of that album is really good and the star studded cast makes a hell of an album. Anyone hearing this for the first time should listen to the whole album and also check out The Human Equation

a union is a legally protected way for works to collectively bargain with their employers. Internally, union dues are used to pay for legal assistance (among other things) that can help the workers. A union can make the affiliated company do things by creating legal agreements and organizing strikes. A company often finds it is easier to give into a unions demands rather than have their employees stop working and hold signs outside letting everyone know that they are being treated poorly. A company can tell a union to fuck off and they often do, this leads to the workers going on strike and bringing business to a standstill.

Almost every right that workers have today has been won by unions, sometimes violently. 40 hour work weeks, weekends off, vacation days, sick days, health benefits, minimum wage, overtime pay, and many others are all from the collective bargaining power of workers unions.

They have already made their content almost unusable in search results. I’ve started adding Reddit to my exclusions when searching.

I could fork ClamAV and call it OysterAV then there would be a less maintained alternative

I have a simple method for deciding whether or not to use something.

• Is it a “cloud service”?
• Is it made by google?

If either of these is a yes, I look for something else
