Clearly, a movie is a block, and not all kinds of bombs can bust blocks.

I’ve been running EndeavourOS on my my SP4. It works great with the custom Surface kernel.

Don’t buy a 4 - it has heat problems and a shitty power circuit. As long as you get a 5 or newer, it should run great.

Narrator: it’s wrong.

If this shit is the dope, yes.

But not necessarily if this shit is simply the dope.

And “this dope is the shit” means “this shit is dope.”

However, “this shit is the dope” does not mean “this dope is shit.”

Thanks for sharing this. I’m very confident with Linux, but I hadn’t thought about this!

Your blog post was concise, too. I hate scrolling forever before finding the solution.

Or, just disable the increasingly inaccurately-named “Secure Boot.”

Anything can be a dildo if you’re brave enough.

Have you tried the proton version of everything?

Ugh.

Wouldn’t Paul McCartney resist? He’s still alive.

Vivaldi or LibreWolf

All ants are black in the dark.

She (most likely), not he

See, that’s a false dichotomy.

Modern corporate America demands expansion and growth. But expansion and growth do not need to be required for innovation.

That’s where Adobe is a victim of the vulture capitalists who’ve taken it over.

That gives me pause. And it’s not quite what I said.

When you try to integrate everything into the same application, you have to make compromises. Even if they have separate workflows, you’re not optimizing a tool for a specific use. You’re creating something general-purpose.

InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator are separate applications. That allows each to fully specialize in what it does best. And each one does a hell of a lot of things that would simply bog down the other two applications.

The applications need to integrate with each other. But no single application can be excellent at literally everything.

Edit: oh, Affinity is made by Canva? Yeah, I’m not touching that shit. No reason to trade one evil empire for another.

Unfortunately, until it fully integrates with a Photoshop equivalent and an Illustrator equivalent, it won’t be able to replace InDesign.

That’s why Adobe beat Quark. Their layout tool integrates so seamlessly with their raster and vector image editing tools.

It’s because Adobe truly does have the best feature set. It’s partly because they spent so many years building good software, and partly because they own patents that prevent other tools from operating in some of the same ways.

Adobe applications are interoperable. I can seamlessly move content between them. They all have the same interface and work in basically the same way. I can (and have) put together a 300 page book while taking advantage of many advanced automations. And back before Adobe went to shit, they really did put a lot of effort into making their interfaces intuitive.

And when you have 25 years of muscle memory dedicated to a set of tools, it’s REALLY difficult to completely replace your whole tool set.

Not interface. Experience.

Do a quick web search and you’ll learn all about Adobe patents on features.

Not if it’s for work, generally speaking.
