Before I even knew to hate Adobe, they were my favorite company to pirate from in college. Them and ChaosGroup

I am admittedly not a super-user, I basically only use vector and raster editing maybe once every 6 months, but for what it’s worth I’ve managed to survive using affinity for most of my needs. I work in the AEC industry so we have a different PDF editor (thankfully)

I think affinity avoids getting under Adobe’s skin by omitting certain popular features (for example, Designer still does not have image trace, which was probably 50% of what i used illustrator for), but otherwise they’re serviceable

for what it’s worth - I’ve heard some people have limited success running affinity software on linux

Haven’t tried it myself, and they’re upfront about some features being broken, but it might check enough boxes to work.

Here’s a repo

Who can really blame him, every time he steps foot in public he’s either being yelled or shot at.

Having to do you rallies in a bulletproof glass box because people keep pointing guns at you is kinda like having to wear a condom because your partner has an active STD flareup.

We’re at a sports bar. All sports lead to gambling, and Wall Street has always been about gambling, too. So I thought, why not combine the two? If you’re watching football or baseball and you’ve got money riding on it, it’s the same thing with stocks. People get attached to these things for better or worse. It’s the way our times work.

Gamba and finance bros, name a more iconic duo.

Imo it’s not as unpleasant as tree jizz in the spring

I highly recommend his concerts, you leave feeling very uplifted

All my hobbies only last a couple months before I lose interest. That’s why gaming is good, though; I can usually satisfy my need for change by picking a different game

I do think the meds would help, but I’m often taking a med vacation when I’m thinking of playing games

FNV is the other one in my library I bought thinking I’d like it because it’s so fondly talked about.

I keep thinking about trying BG3 but I have a feeling it’ll end the same way

Why the fuck did they think rolling him put was a good idea??

Hes not even popular in his home state

Does anyone with more backend knowledge know if this includes activity prior to the lemmy federation?

I’m really curious if this is really all from the same time period

Even though this wouldn’t change the price at check out, I love the chaos this would cause

I almost feel bad for the minimum wage clerks who would have to deal with the angry deep discount shoppers.

Why even use labels at that point? Just use facial recognition at check-out to match customers to financial data and charge personalized prices based on income.

It’s likely ‘random’ in the same way TSA random pat-downs are

It was this exact moment when I realized ‘sanction’ is a contronym

Opossums are the kind of alien cute that lures you in with big fluffy and then makes you jump briefly in disgust when they do something alien

I want to be friends with you but you sound like my nightmares

There are so many reasons to rip OEM shit out of new cars these days

I actually kind of buy this. The temperature was turned up so high on Biden and Trump that there’s basically no heat left for her.

All she has to be is Trump’s foil, and I can’t really think of anyone else that’s less of their own character.

It honestly depends on the network policies you’re dealing with. Some employers have strict security and won’t allow workarounds like vpns or proxies, and they really don’t want you connecting the network to other unsecured ones.

That said, I’d try a personal VPN (not necessarily a proxy one, just one that can connect you to your plex server on a shared network). If that doesn’t work, I really doubt it’s a good idea to connect to your plex server from their wifi anyway. If that’s the case, I would just download the media I want before I get to work

… yea, I agree.

If you’re at-all concerned with DRM protections, it’s probably better to use a service that is not reliant on making calls to an outside server. Thats not a comment on the factual accuracy of OP’s experience, that’s just common sense.
