Frankly id just like to know what your beef with squirrels is

Spent 30 odd years in TO.

Theres a lot of toxicity there. Been punched in the head, throat, kicked in the back (lol), spat on, had slurs screamed my way, and hit by cars (yes, plural).

But hpx, what’d you do to provoke all this?

Nothing, friend. I’m quiet, polite in interactions, keep my yap shut and mind my own business. Every single one of these happened out the blue with little to no input my end. Each left me more flabbergasted than the last.

Some I actually get - unhoused or mentally compromised folk lashing out at unlucky targets. But others had more malice - the pack of skinheads looking for a fight or drivers who felt inconvenienced because they had to stop at crosswalks.

But hey, least it ain’t Calgary. Fuuuuck that place.

good grief this little man is adorable

Neat list!

Blender and resolve are terrific. Gimp is a bit of a running joke for veterans in the industry - the UX is a comical mess.

Personally steer well clear of Maxon and Canva. Maxon on account of the rubbish pricing, piss poor UX/UI, and invasive telemetry. Canva for AI stance, telemetry, and their having the option to monetize should they ever feel like it after having locked in a large enough user base. Which absolutely will happen over a long enough period given predatory, for profit SaaS trends.

Penpot is an alright Canva substitute for the time being, least for my needs which are reasonably complex. Haven’t had much luck finding a good foss alternative to after effects though.
