Should call them the goodlands

Lmao no.

GIMP never called itself Photoshop. The problem here is this clone is using the trademarked name and lying about official association with Ho, not that it has similar functionality to Notepad++.

Also, Blender predates Maya by at least a couple years, so not sure what you’re going on about there.

Encouraging people to get the depopulation (emergency use authorization mrna) shots is also disqualifying to me

the unforgiveable thing to me is the lack of basic first-principles reasoning and also an inability to read scientific journals criticially.

Really telling on yourself here lol. If that was your takeaway from research around the vaccines then you lack the very competencies you find it unforgivable to lack.

Nice, the default file types isn’t a deal breaker for me. I’ll have to give it a shot! I’ve been testing debian on my laptop before changing my desktop over. Hadn’t found a good solution for a handful of my windows-only programs yet but this seems like it might do the trick.

Winboat looks really interesting. How does it compare to just using WinApps? It seems like it’s basically just doing the heavy lifting for setting programs up, yeah?

Where there a will to enshittify, there’s a way.

They could weave dependencies in such a manner as to prevent other critical stuff from running without it, or straight up build it into something that would prevent the system from running properly if you remove it.

Of course, they’d lose the vast majority of their userbase, but short term profit line must go up according to the idiots with MBAs.

Edit: fixed a typo

Par for the course with ai slop

Yes, it’s fuckin yummy

I think it has more to do with expanded computing resources allowing for devs to skip optimizing their code since it is no longer absolutely necessary to get something useable.

Then why bother commenting?

I don’t see how someone else changing their last name has any appreciable effect on my life. If it makes them happy, I guess I’d be happy for them?

Either going for food or playing board/video games together!

A calendar is not an inventory management system.

Idk, not sure I really want to live in a post-apocalyptic world. Life is already hard enough as is.

That’s exactly where I learned about it! They ran it as a worldbuilding tool for the Ethersea campaign.

How does half a pickup truck compare to a large boulder the size of a small boulder?

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but this reminds me of The Quiet Year:

The Quiet Year is a map game. You define the struggles of a community living after the collapse of civilization, and attempt to build something good within their quiet year. Every decision and every action is set against a backdrop of dwindling time and rising concern.

The game is played using a deck of cards – each of the 52 cards corresponds to a week during the quiet year. Each card triggers certain events – bringing bad news, good omens, project delays and sudden changes in luck. At the end of the quiet year, the Frost Shepherds will come, ending the game.

The game occupies a niche somewhere between a ttrpg and a board game.

Dassault too. Solidworks runs like a dumpster fire and the backwards incompatibility is a daily frustration for me. Their ham-fisted attempt to pivot to online products is so divorced from the reality of how their products get used that it’s abundantly clear no engineers were consulted when defining the new product.

The situation would be laughable if any of the alternatives weren’t also garbage in their own unique ways. Solidworks is only dominant because it’s the least shitty, not because it’s good.

How so?
