If you’re creating a community to sexualize something then lemmynsfw would be the best place for it imo unless there is already an instance for that topic (furry, anime, etc). It has nothing to do with how popular or commonplace a thing like bikinis are.

Personally one of the things i love about lemmy is that there’s a lot less objectifying women on my /all than reddit because a lot of these ‘bikini’ (and similar) communities are mostly under a single instance which can be defederated.

Well they’re still idiots-- blur can be unblurred without much effort. This isn’t opsec, it’s clownsec

They released quarterly report and this was already priced in. When no new bombshells were dropped, people started buying.

Management doesn’t seem to correlate the RTO rules as the problem though. 🙃

It’s not that management doesn’t correlate. It’s that they planned for RTO to diminish the workforce and then they can start hiring (offshore*) remote workers for a fraction of the cost. At least that’s what my company did

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 🤓

What a bunch of horse shit. Id say this is unbelievable but at this point it’s clear the official .gov channels are all available to shill whatever shit trump is selling.

Not sure, but before using any AI girlfriend id check it this video. I think it does a good job of not poking fun at the subject but instead genuinely look into it and what can be learned from it.

They had 5000 ants in 2200 test tubes and tried to pass this off as “for fun” lmao. Ain’t nobody packing 5k ants in 2.2k test tubes for fun.

Quit trying to speak for others. It makes you look pretentious and a fool.

You’re not impressing anything on me, and instead are just welcoming yourself to my blocklist. Go waste someone else’s time.

I’m not thinking its a chest pump. I’m literally saying that i dont think it’s worth me stressing over it. It’s a phrase to express that. But go on thumping your chest or whatever you do to communicate while pompously thinking you speak for all of humanity

My phone is always in do not disturb mode and only 1 person can ring me while in do not disturb mode. All texts and other notifications are forever silenced. It helps me focus and not become dependent on my phone.

But it doesn’t really bother me if other people’s sounds are on. Bigger things to worry about imo.

As an ex Mormon, fuck them. And they have more than enough money to pay their own settlements if they want to continue to protect predators.

I think you’re really onto something here

Sit for a minute or two to air dry and then use a towel or few pieces of toilet paper to touch up any wet spot. Still much less toilet paper than if you didn’t use a Bidet.

Also some Bidets have actual blowers lol.

He’s already old as fuck and declining. No way he’d be mentally fit to run in 4 years, let alone finish a 3rd term.

Dragon Age: Origins is still one of my favorite game of all time. Really wish we could’ve had a whole series of them, but oh well. At least we got shit.

Mine too. So SURELY you must be aware of the ownership changes that took place the between origins and DA2 that made it a stinkhole?

Spoiler- they were acquired. It’s been some years since i looked until specifics but DA2 was never meant to be it’s own game but a DLC until EA forced it’s publication. DA:I recovered somewhat but still wasn’t the game i fell in love with, and not because of diversity.

The reality is that game studios release good games, get bought out, and quality takes a nosedive. It happens time and time again.
