Most Adobe tools don’t have any good free alternatives even for home use.
inkscape is on a level with illustrator (maybe even better)
for drawing: try krita
if you want to pay money (much much less than for adobe): Affinity is on a level with fotoshop
the goldberg-steamcrack supports multiplayer. https://gitlab.com/Mr_Goldberg/goldberg_emulator
I only tested it in lan, and it works great. Not sure if it works online, too. You may need hamachi.
And of course: online multiplayer with randos is probably not worth it, as others have pointed out. On one hands it’s probably a bitch to set up. On the other cheating is probably rampant.
But only temporarily
but is it?
I thought the temporal improvement would be for everyone who already used the high way (because they will get to their destination a little bit faster). And for the few extra people, who start to use the highway but didn’t use it before, the improvment will stay.
When you add a new lane to a road, people think that the traffic will be easier there, so they take that route instead of their normal one
so for these people the new lane will create marginal improvement, right?
The Ad sponsored web model is not viable forever.
a thousand times this
we’ll probably get a win 12 that is less good than win 10, but better than win 11,
I wouldn’t count on it. MS is moving away from selling desktop-stuff and towards selling cloud stuff (think azure and office356) and consulting. That’s why they changed their attitude towards linux (think wsl and c# for linux) and open-source (think github). MS wants companies to use open-source tools (preferably written in c#) and deploy them to azure with the help of MS-consultants.
Enshittifying windows is a step in that direction. For example: The more people have a MS-Account, the easier it is to sell office356. That’s why they pressure windows-user into making MS-Accounts.
MS knows that desktop is dying.
most recently I had this with energy-settings, before that with network-settings, and before that with some language settings.
I’ve not actually had this problem …(aside from [when I had this problem])
lol
the last time I had to set up a windows-system, I just said fuck-it and bought a key for 2€ from on of these shady key-sides.
There’s a lot to not like here.
the new snipping-tool is neat
yes I know if you look hard enough you can find legacy panels
In some case you have to actively looks for the legacy panel, because the new ones don’t allow to change certain settings.
soft failures add complexity and ambiguity to your system, as it creates many paths and states you have to consider. It’s generally a good idea to keep the exception handling simple, by failing fast and hard.
here is a nice paper, that highlights some exception handling issues in complex systems

meanwhile in america: public sectors heavility relied on microsoft, and now they deal with the fallout from a recent security incident at microsoft

tldr: microsoft was hacked big time. Now hackers have free reign over all Microsoft-customers, among which are many government agencies.
it’s safe to assume there are similar issues in closed source. A big part of the snowden leaks was about how NSA could access lots of data at will. It wouldn’t surprise me if they also could execute code.
Also there is stuxnet. But I am not sure, if there were intentional backdoors, or only some “natural occuring” RCE.
also any beginner-friendly distro should be popular enough for the beginner to find it in the first place.
(big exception: if it came pre-installed on their device)
vacuum for isolation. Magnets, so the plasma stays in the middle and won’t touch the walls. Microwaves to heat it up from the outside.
how far can you get with arch without opening the terminal or the wiki?
how does it compare to yt-dlp?
