As someone who uses foundry, PF2, and has tried on multiple occasions to prep using an iPad…I feel this. There are modules that help but it goes from useless to barely passable. Best of luck in your endeavors!

I know I could search for this online, but word of mouth is so often superior and it also feels like kinda the point of lemmy…but got any recs for some punk or punk adjacent bands/albums? Particularly recent stuff or old if it holds up to the current climate. I got into RATM around this time last year and nothing else has come close to scratching the itch of “maaaan fuck this shit.”

(In addition to the stuff mentioned in your original comment, of course!)

Edit: seems like this thread is building a bit of a list on its own, actually!!

“Kids today - so desensitized by movies and television. WHATDDYOUWAAANT!?”

Something about that fills me with joy every time I see the movie.

I’m wondering what a modern equivalent of damnatio memoraie would look like. Probably not really feasible, but that’s just what this guy needs.

Architect here, not a programmer. I’ve taken Python classes but was never good enough too use it regularly. Using Gemini, I’ve been able to work through creating half a dozen scripts for automating tedious tasks and optimizing models/drawings. I’m hoping to improve myself so I can eventually make use of it for even more useful things, but as a start it’s been awesome. Not perfect, it makes a lot of mistakes, but I’ve been able to work with it to get things right.

Steam Deck + Moonlight was a game changer for me. Played and beat Alan Wake 2 from my couch and bed. Steam Link had too high of latency for me.

I like the quiet clicks, because I click a lot at work. The 3S is great for that, but the clicking mechanism inside is trash. I’ve gone through FOUR of them in the last year. I keep buying them used to avoid paying high prices, but shoot had I been buying new I’d probably at least get to RMA it once or twice.

Tried a supposedly similar mouse by Keychron and it was terrible, unfortunately. Feather light and cheap feeling.

Started with Zorin but had a rough time. I didn’t realize until actual months later that my issues were due to a hardware fault and had nothing to do with the OS. By the time I realized, however, I had settled on Mint. I’ve since tried a handful of distros but always come back to Mint because I’m so used to it now. I do recommend Zorin for its level of polish and apparent desire to simplify the transition for folks coming from Windows.

On my daily commute, I would normally pass 2 or 3 cars for sale parked out in people’s front yards. Last I counted, that number was 12. More if I were to include other things suddenly for sale, like boats, bikes, and golf carts.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

Have one unraid lifetime license, just paid for a second license yearly for my backup off-site machine. Been using truenas on the off-site, but its primary storage is USB which I didn’t realize truenas isn’t fond of. Ah well. It’ll be a little easier this way, anywho.

In grade school I remember looking up at a brightly colored sign above the door that read, “you are not your circumstance.” Decades later, I still think about it as a reminder to treat myself and others a little better.

What are the rules? 🎵

I am also to relocate my gaming and PF2e groups to either Revolt or Matrix. I thought Revolt was also US based and so consensus was it will likely follow in Discord’s footsteps a few years down the line. I guess then you just migrate again which isn’t the end of the world.

Not always an option, unfortunately. By “picked up” I meant if you need to save, close, and eventually someone else picks up the work where you left off. Incredibly common in collaborative settings. I may start a Photoshop file, get to a good point, but then it has to change based on the work someone else is doing. Another person has to open that file and make updates accordingly. If they couldn’t find and edit the file because I told them it was done in Photopea or GIMP, that would mess things up.

Affinity is a viable alternative to Adobe, whereas Photopea and GIMP are more suitable for individual needs (although it’d be kinda cool if a practice set itself up to use those from the ground up).

And jobs to do lmao if I told someone at work that a file on a deadline had to get picked up in photopea or gimp I would get demolished.

Edit: I am actively trying to get an entire company switched to Affinity. It’s not easy but possible.
