At least you didn’t upload a clear shot of your license to lemmy.

Developers make software because they want to, or because they are paid to.

Consumers can use free software because it fits their needs, or they can pay for software if the free options don’t suffice.

Consumer demand for paid software drives paid software development.

You claim to be an open source developer, cool. There are people who are not developers who can’t contribute code but still want software. Sometimes that software needs to be paid because some free options aren’t “there” yet. Yes they could pay or donate to open source developers, but they can also tell a company they want to pay for linux software which is what this thread is about, in a community that isn’t focused on open source software

To play devils advocate: please name me an entire open source list of alternatives for each part of affinity studio/adobe suite.

For bonus points, all programs should be mutually agreed by other people as “the best not Adobe” and for extra extra points, they should all be part of a studio package for ease of installation for creatives

Now if someone made these demands in an open source thread they’d probably get a new asshole ripped open for being entitled with such requirements for free software. Instead, someone is saying they’d pay for affinity Linux software that meets this criteria but youre telling them to use open source which is not helpful.

Don’t get me wrong, open source is great. I do use gimp but i still need alternatives to affinity studio and it would’ve made moving to Linux much easier if i could use affinity on Linux.

That’s easy. Your friends had a LAN party 🤓

I can read any book cover to cover even if it is terribly dull or i don’t understand it

It seems pretty obvious that “real men do what they want” is pointing out toxic masculinity. IOW the whole “real men” with qualifiers is bullshit.

I don’t really want to go on a rant here but id say that yes, both rescues and shelters can have a problem. There are also some that dont. From my experience i don’t see much right vs left politics at play.

Biggest thing imo would be to just vet any rescues you adopt from. Rescues may have received money to pull an animal from a shelter. Make sure they are giving updates on animals under their care. If they aren’t doing that then be very skeptical.

I count only 11 🤔

But top left has best vibe

Of all subreddits i ever visited, that one was THE WORST. There are certain words like graphene that will get your comment auto removed and maybe even banned. Rather than allow privacy minded people to discuss things, the mod(s) enforce their own flavor of privacy on everyone and will not let anything be posted that goes against what they deem acceptable

• Fdroid uses fdroid version. As pictured bottom of right screenshot.
• Izzy repo uses web version. As pictured bottom of left screenshot

The link i provided discusses the difference in these two versions (along with the third version).

Izzyondroid is an f-droid repository. Basically a list of apps. Izzyondroid isn’t really relevant to the question.

The bottom of each screenshot shows the version name. One of them ends in .web which is a different version of the app, and the link i shared talks about the different versions of the app.

Interesting. I dont want to use obsidian because it’s not open source, and i didn’t like logseqs forced bullet-points (even if they do pretty cool things with children when using bidirectional linking). I tried logseq for a few weeks and just couldn’t get used to it

Did they ever even fix the 5080/5090 issues like the burning cables from overloading a single cable?

Is this how long it takes for posts to federate? Why would it be so long?

Isn’t that an open source project? How else do you want them to make money?

Some servers have a particular focus. Pawb.social is a furry server. Generally doesn’t matter too much which server you use as long as it’s not blocked from another server where there are communities you like. You can check the /instances page to see which servers/communities are blocked by a server.

Also if you want to mod then usually best to have your acct on that community’s server. Less headaches with modreports.

Idk, i wouldn’t see it coming

Short on time before work so I’ll be somewhat brief:

have you tried journaling? That’s what i do. Just pen and paper or use logseq/obsidian/ whatever note app on your phone. Can’t be deleted like your social accounts or whatever. Helps me collect my thoughts and process stuff.

Shits rough and I’m sorry you’re going through all of that. Hope you find something or somewhere that works for you

I was half expecting her to swat the monitor, knocking it over and breaking it lol
