That’s where I started and still really enjoyed it a lot. Definitely a character here or there that they assumed I knew but for the most part it all made sense.

If they have some situations where LLM/Siri runs on device that would certainly do it!

I’m going to give Krita a try for some of the photobashing sort of stuff I do

I’m on their site now and the full suite is on sale - €90, not sure if that’s the same for everyone’s local schnorples.

Me either, and at least in my experience with Windows these things have a way of ‘accidentally’ turning themselves on after a random update or something

And photographers when Photoshop was invented

I second this, this has been my experience exactly. It’s gotten so bad that not only do I not need the Google fallback, but I’m starting to feel like the DDG results are better than the Google ones in the first place.

I feel like I saw somewhere that men message dozens of times more women than vice versa. I get their non-nuanced temptation but you can hardly call a system that encourages one gender to incessantly spam the other ‘engagement’.

There are a lot of problems keeping VR from going big and I think Meta’s strategy of cornering the market is one of them. They think if they get all the exclusives they’ll be the next iPhone but I think instead they’re fragmenting an already tiny market which really needs a bunch of impressive experiences (and there still aren’t a ton right now, even after years of VR development). I feel like the reverse would win them more users - they should win on hardware AND software but make their software available for any VR headset to use. Because right now they need to help create a market for VR because there really isn’t one worth cornering yet.

Exactly

I’m with you there, I just hope the general public come to that realization.

I hate everything about this: the lack of transparency, the lack of communication, the chaotic back and forth. We don’t know now if the company is now in a better position or worse.

I know it leaves me feeling pretty sick and untrusting about it considering the importance and potential disruptiveness (perhaps extreme) of AI in the coming years.

I love my mini, going to hold on to it as long as I can and hope they offer a refreshed model a couple times a decade.

I had the opposite experience - bounced on Notion but stuck on Obsidian. I really like how Obsidian handles file management and how each note file is just a markdown document. I’ve moved from too many note apps to ever trust one with a closed system again.
