That's a bummer... The first version of Affinity was a one-time purchase. I was hoping to buy one as well

Complete opposite for me.
On NixOS I enable KDE with i3 and rofi, and there's little to adjust.
On MacOS, I need yabai, karabiner, raycast, shottr (costs money), one of those hideous tray management tools that work by capturing your screen (facepalm)... For yabai I need to disable system integrity protection. With every update my setup breaks, and I need to spend countless hours debugging and setting everything up again... And it's still subpar to what I could have in Linux.
This is so bizarre. I'll never understand Apple fans.
Too bad though, there's no way to put a scanned document onto iPad in Apple's ecosystem other than the otherwise useless camera.
LOL. The famous JuSt wOrKs experience.
About half a century ago, while trying to solve printer jamming problem, someone smart figured there's no single fits-everyone solution. But Apple and its army of fans are allergic to this paradigm.
Keep struggling, maybe you'll get there someday in a form of "revolutionary" Apple invention.
Or you'll adjust and learn to passionately love the new broken design. This worked so far.
At least SC has satisfying effects.
You'll also be surprised to observe sudden disappearance of both far right and far left.
¹ assuming this is possible. The goal should be the eradication of russian deep state
They argue that just as programmers once wrote ASM and C, the arrival of Java and Python meant you no longer had to be a neckbearded autistic kid to write software that doesn't leak memory or segfault.
Arguments like this show me you’ve never done software engineering seriously.
Despite compilers (written by some of the smartest engineers on Earth) trying hard to prevent developers from writing shitty software, those new age "engineers" still managed to ship software that crashes, leaks, and generally sucks.
I'm not saying this email client is not secure (although I'd bet 5$, it is). But it seems beyond silly to assume software is automatically safe just because a new piece of tech can potentially find vulnerabilities. Intent still matters. And the 99% would never have the intent to write secure software.
Unlike slapping an AI agent on top while making zero promises about its capabilities.
I remember waiting for ~15 years until Thunderbird finally implemented rich content support in the e-mail list (needed for a proper 3-column layout, as otherwise the e-mail list, being a simple table, wouldn't fit on the widest screens available).
So, yeah... Not a lot, but Thunderbird has been missing the bar for over a decade.
Russians been messing with your elections, blowing up factories, inducing illegal immigration, destroying infrastructure and openly threatening to turn Europe into a radioactive dust. Meanwhile people: "hopefully investigators find out".
Seriously, this is ridiculous
This is russian sabotage + russian trolls now trying to make it look like it's something else
One has to be an idiot to assume otherwise at this point
Thanks for examples and especially the doc link. I don't normally use hard links, and for some reason was sure that's how they behave.
Maybe my belief indeed stemmed from observing software which overwrites opened file with a new copy.
// Didn't double-check, but I've held this belief for over decade now, would be surprised to be proven wrong
You won't miss much.
Always I ask the LLM to drop the prose and reduce the content by 60%. And it does. Then I go, and edit manually, and often trim it almost twice on top of that.
LLMs are professional bullshitters. Like real organic bullshitters they will mask the lack of real understanding with prose decorations.
However, the latter is an exercise that lets you become an expert. The former – not at all.
... you would still have a mediocre phone with half-assed barely working features driven by locked down proprietary software
You've been there, right?
And do you know the meaning of the word "literally"?
Jeez, you russian clowns.
You feel motivated, full of energy, your juggle millions things at once, and then stumble once, then another time. Then your mistakes become more frequent. And you don't even realize you make them, others do... Until eventually you no longer operate efficiently.
Can take a few years to develop.
Take some rest. Especially if you feel productive like never before. It's gonna be hard to shut down for the first few days, so it should be at least a week of rest. Better two.
Chances are: after coming back you'll immediately notice a dozen of stupid decisions you've made.
You see, I've been in Ukraine in 2014, and I've been observing everything from the front seat, so to say.
Generally what ruskies say does not matter. Not a single word.
But specifically, the pretexts they may be stating now (I don't follow what they say), may be different from what they stated in 2014.
It baffles me that after so much bs spewed by russian propaganda, people waste their effort trying to synthesize a coherent story.
The only rock fact: ruskies say whatever gives them tactical advantage at the moment.
We have IMO, an informational stalemate, with russians having much better positions, unfortunately, thanks to their network of agents covering entire planet, and huge investments over the last two decades (and even before that: the entire Bandera horror-story is their work from soviet times, because Bandera been fighting russian soviet colonizers).
Those a bit smarter have figured that you can not trust a single word coming from russians. Their methods have been studied, described, and presented.
Those who keep repeating russian propaganda, will continue doing so until russia is defeated militarily (and I'm not saying that's gonna happen soon, or even during my lifetime, those folks in EU better prepare).
The fuck you're talking about?! Mistreated how?!
Give a specific example
