“Google issued a stern warning to its employees, with the company’s vice president of global security, Chris Rackow, saying, “If you’re one of the few who are tempted to think we’re going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again,” according to an internal memo obtained by CNBC.”
I’m looking to be able to store assets that I’ve created and purchased (both 3d models and images, potentially audio in the future) on my nas and would love to be able to use something to browse them and filter or sort them based on what kind of usage license I have for them. So if I’m doing a commission I can filter out...
I realize this is a FOSS channel, but I’m going to play devil’s advocate and suggest Eagle.
I have some 40K assets, mostly JPGs and PNGs, and apart from Obsidian, Eagle is the best piece of software I’ve found in the last 5 years, maybe longer, and I absolutely adore it.
It’s not free, but it’s pay-once, fairly cheap, and the upcoming version has an API and huge focus on community developed plugins.
The current version supports a huge amount of file types, including 3D. I’m not completely sure about audio, but I’d be kinda surprised if Eagle didn’t support audio.
Hello! I would like to catalogue my library (I estimate in the low thousands but I am unsure of the precise number). I would like to keep tracks of several things, from the “obvious” like author, title, publisher, edition, to more personal like “when”/“where” did I get it. Was it a gift? Is a lucky find from that one...
My gf and I have had discussions about teaching morals to kids. In that vein, I asked myself, would I teach piracy to my kids? Yes, it’s technically illegal and carries inherent risks. But so does teenage sex carry the risks of teenage pregnancy, and so we have an obligation to children to teach them how to practice safe sex....
Don’t have any data to back it up, but I’ve been using Photoshop for 25+ years, and got the clear impression that this was 100% part of marketing; from what I gathered from friends back then, pirating Photoshop was so astonishingly simple that it seemed deliberate. If you’ve got the software that’s the easiest to get hold of for kids and students, that’s what they grow up with, that’s what they know, that’s what they expect to have access to in future employment situations.
Now that they’ve managed to pull off Subscriptions (and consequently fucking us all over by making it a legitimate business model, which instantly spread to, what, +60% of all paid software?), I’m sure they’ve calculated that the higher bar for gaining access to their software is more than adequately offset by the readings on the yard stick in their Scrooge McDuck money vault building(s).
And still, nobody has managed to make something that can replace their bloated, shitty software for professional users.
This has happened to me a few times. One I remember was the game Alchemist, where I just sat there confused as hell for 4 and a half hours while three guys were all talking about strategies. Tonight it was Terraforming Mars, where I was told it would be a 3 hour game, but by hour 4 we were halfway done. This time I said...
Had the exact opposite happen once — playing Risk with a group of friends, one guy ends up completely dominating the board. Almost everyone is out, just him and one other person left.
Everyone wants to either start a new game or go to a pub, but he still hasn’t won. We ask him several times if he’s accomplished his goal yet; he hasn’t.
He drags the game out by an additional 3 hours, and finally wins. Turns out he had won some 4 hours earlier, and “forgot” or “misunderstood” his objective. In reality, assholes just wanted to try to take over the whole world, and thought we wouldn’t insist on seeing the objective card afterwards.
We banned him from participating in any and all games. For life. This was some 25 years ago. I haven’t seen him for 10+ years, but to the best of my knowledge, nobody from that particular friend group (around 12 people) ever let him participate in any games again.
Altid når folk snakker om hvor forfærdelig dansk IT/software er generelt (absolut fair nok, listen er lang!) nævner (nævnte …) jeg MobilePay som et lysende eksempel på det modsatte — nogen af dem kan altså godt finde ud af det! sagde jeg.
Det “nye” MobilePay — what the actual fuck?! Har de fyret alle de kompetente medarbejdere? Har de fyret dem der lavede brugertest?!
90% af mine egne brugsscenarier er “Betal for en ting et fysisk sted, vis kvitteringen”. Jeg kan ikke være den eneste. Hvordan kan man sætte sig ned og lave en ny version der ikke viser kvitteringen?! 🤯 Næh nej, nu skal man klikke ind på den først. Hjernedødt, og helt uforståeligt.
Og så er der “arkivet” … 🙄 Hov, din transaktion er X antal dage gammel, den ryger i arkivet 👌 Men den er jo gammel nu, så vi går ud fra at du ikke har noget behov for at klikke på ting i arkivet og se detaljerne, hvorfor skulle du have lyst til det?!
Man bliver så træt 😭
Og for en god ordens skyld — fuck jer, ForældreIntra 🖕 Jeg skrev til dem for over et år siden at Expected Behavior for et tilbage-swipe (eller klik på tilbage-knappen, hvis man har sådan en) i en Android app IKKE er at (fucking) lukke app’en! Crickets. Ikke en lyd, intet fixet. Hver eneste gang jeg læser en besked og vil tilbage til min inbox kommer jeg til at swipe, og app’en lukker lige så fint ned. 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Klart, men var det nødvendigt at gøre resten af app’en dårligere for at få lov til at vise den reklame?! 🤔 Man skulle tro at de kunne have bevaret den velfungerende funktionalitet og stadig nået deres mål.
I voted for Biden in 2020. This was despite the fact that he is one of the main architects of modern American slavery through his crime bill which made the US the nation with the highest proportion of its own citizens imprisoned by far, who are quite literally slaves according to our constitution. This was despite him...
I’ve been mulling over my previous comment in one of the threads here, and think I’ve found the best way to condense it into a single line (not including this one, obviously), which can also serve as my response to the original post:
You don’t put out a kitchen fire by letting the house burn down.
Are you not confusing “some politics I don’t agree with are being represented” with “none of the politics I agree with are being represented”? Granted, I don’t know what your politics are, but you’re clearly not a trump fan. I’m having a difficult time imagining a political leaning that has zero overlap with Bidens politics.
I’m having a hard time with this whole thread. Yes, it’s a shitty choice, but that doesn’t make it any less the only choice. It’s not like a trump victory “nudges the country further towards a fascist state”. He, and his followers, have made it quite clear that the immediate goal is full-on fascism.
If wouldn’t be terribly surprised if this was a spoiler campaign, honestly, but even in the more likely event that it isn’t, the results are nearly indistinguishable. It does a great job of sewing sowing doubt and spreading fatalism/doomerism. Does anyone seriously think we’re comparing apples to apples here?
Biden is not fantastic. Agreed.
The glaring psychopathy of the right makes it easier for the Democrats to also shift right. Looks like it.
Biden is bad, so the alternative can be ignored. Uhm, what?
Withholding my vote for Biden will teach the Democrats a lesson, and it’s not like I’m voting for trump or anything. You’re going to get us all killed.
I think the implication above is that the person with the most votes wins; by not adding your vote to pile A, there are fewer votes for pile B to beat.
Again, it’s not a great set of options, but how can anyone who is even remotely sane consider furthering the risk of trump winning to prove a point? If he wins, will there even be any more elections? Who are you proving the point to?
It’s been 4 years since trump left office. 4 measly years. How such large swathes of the country seem to have collectively forgotten how utterly insane, deadly, and brazenly corrupt that whole shit-show was is completely beyond me.
None of the American presidents are great. Not one of them. Every single one of them has blood on their hands. None of this is new. At least people are waking up now, even if it’s too late. There’s a great shift towards unions. Attempts at making healthcare less horrible. An actual debate about student loans. About minimum wage. About housing. Will it all be fixed under the Democrats? Unlikely. Will it all be actively and aggressively fought by trump and the fascist right he represents? Guaranteed.
Want to make a difference? Fight it all with every fiber if your being. Join movements, unionize, support better candidates. Helping trump does not help anyone, and all but guarantees that the already rickety societal framework that lets you even have a dissenting opinion will be torn down in the blink of an eye.
Foil the fascist autocrat first. Then spend the next 4 years making your point clear to the democrats. Find better ways to try to steer the country away from its race to the right. There are many good suggestions on this thread as to how. None of them are “don’t vote for Biden”.
