Yep, I'm using csharp LSP, created a skill for it, and in my global CLAUDE.md I told CC to use it over grep if it's available.

Affinity would be a great clone of PS, they copied it up to 90%. But for the last 10%, they were like, you know what? Let's do it in a way that it will make no sense to someone who has used PS for decades. I remember if you wanted to have a transparent background for your file, you had to CREATE the file SPECIFICALLY to have a transparent background. In PS, you just deleted the default white background, and bumm, you had a transparent background. I'm pretty sure PS behaved like this since - at least - PS 4 (not CS4). That last 10% has these idiocracies.

What is also wild is that the video has 2.5M views, very odd.

As an "expert viewer" of Baumgartner Restoration, this site usefulness is questionable. If you look at those color palettes, most of them brownish that is because of dirty & old oxidised varnish. These are not the intended look of these paintings. So these color palettes has nothing to do with those 3000 masters.

I was looking for a comment like yours. Same issue, in my case only eating up half of my cores but with 100% utilization, webUI not working.

I've switched my work laptop from W10 to Fedora about 9 months ago, using KDE during this time. The past month switched to Niri + DMS and I'm extremely happy, which is odd to say. I've a stacked external monitor setup 2 x 4k monitors on top of each other. Top one is the main, runs mostly just the IDE. The bottom one with 7 named workspaces:

- chat: teams / discord - work: assisting workspace for Main screen - git : sourcegit - terminal: for general terminal stuff - claudecode - work related browsing - personal browsing

All workspaces are accessible their own hotkey, so I can work on something on the main, and instantly switch to a specific application. I had the exact setup with KDE, but I had to do some trickery to get this working with Virtual Desktops Only on Primary Display https://store.kde.org/p/2143363. Niri enables to have the same setup, + display independent workspace setup which I really wanted. The same feature was requested 20! years ago in KDE, and we still don't have it. This kinda shows the power of independent projects like Hyprland and Niri.

I find it comical that OpenAI with all the power of CharGPT even them are unable to release an app for both iOS and Android at the same time. Wow, good marketing for Codex.

And then you move to Linux. Not kidding when I say that the only reason why I have a W11 VM is to run LinqPad, at least until November.

Fusion360 has a free tier and it's enough for most people.

https://www.youtube.com/@BPSspace has a video on this exact topic, but can't seem to find it. I pretty sure he mentioned that there is a publicly open book on guidance and navigation.

I'm a hobbyist who has used PS for 20 something years now. My issue with Affinity Photo is that you can use 85% of your PS knowledge and workflow, everything is the same but that last 15% is awfully, unlogically different and will drive you mad. That last 15% feels like it was made by people who do not understand why PS does things the way it does. Meanwhile my statement cannot be true, because Affinity nailed the firat 85%, but just cannot comprehend why they couldn't copy the last 15%.

I've replaced an industrial windows workstation with PI + Avalonia in a factory. Way more compact, you don't have to care about Windows anymore. Is the PI industrial grade? No, but we have a spare PI ready, and SSD with preinstalled OS. So you can fix everything in a matter of minutes.

Although I had to rewrite the software, because the original was WinForms, it was a pretty simple application.

Honestly, I'm kinda tired of the constant whining about Spotify. But in many ways, it showed me, that when you have a wide customer base and your product is a simple "wrench", you will be surprised how different each people try to use the same tool. Most of them don't understand that you can't drill with it, nor you can weld with it.

Ok, what do I mean by this? People want to turn a streaming service into a music streaming and organizing tool that can fit every user's weird OCD. I mean there are people out there, who create a new playlist for EVERY ALBUM they listen to, removing and reordering songs in the album for their taste. This person was requesting a feature to be able to hide and reorder songs in an album because they're tired of creating a new playlist for every album. I don't want to judge people, ohh boy there are weird people out there...

Same thing with recommendations. You might see this all the time, you have a group of people who have a bad experience with Spotify discovery system, and then you have people like me, who are happy with it, and works perfectly well, for ME. But I listen to a specific genre of music, and if I like an artist I "follow" them on Spotify. I try to do my best, so Spotify has a chance to figure out what I like. Hence, Discover Weekly is mostly good, every 4 or 5 weeks (for whatever reason) it's fucking great.

I might have been naive, but when I started paying for Spotify Premium, I thought my money was going to the artists that I was listening to.

Let's track back a bit...

Growing up in Tunisia, piracy was the norm. Our debit cards didn’t work internationally, and publishing companies never thought of us as a viable market to bother with.

Harrr, surely there was no way to buy a single music CD in the whole of Tunisia.

But I'm not judging, I did music piracy in the past. But thinking that your €5-10 monthly subscription magically will feed every artist that you listen to is idd naive. I've been a premium user for the past 10 years. During this time I've spent x20 more money on concert tickets, merch, and music CDs than before. If I have a good year, I usually go to 10-15 concerts a year from clubs to arenas, and even travel abroad if I have to. Because this is the only way you can support your favorite artists. But let's just spend nothing on them, use Spotify, and complain about how Big Corp pays nothing to artists. Meanwhile, record labels are standing on the side, laughing at this, wiping the tears of joy with a banknote. There is nothing more exciting than Discover Weekly showing you a brand new band (for you) and you realize the band will play in your country in 2 months. Without Spotify, I would not know about them, let alone go to the concert.

I had the same issue, as up right now there is no good solution. It does support multiple profiles, but you have to fiddle with them. Also I needed not just different profiles but different Firefox icons, so know which FF is work vs personal.

Ended up with using FF stable as my work profile, and FF Nightly builds for personal.

2d image editor aka. node based compositor?

1. If you don't encounter any trouble daily driving GNU/Linux, that is actually a sign of inexperience. That or you're doing nothing interesting.

There are 3 type of person who knows a lot about cars:

1. A Car mechanic 2. People who love cars, and tinker them constantly 3. People who have a shitty car and something always breaks.

Personally I'm not a car guy, I treat them as tools. I can do this because I always had a reliable car. I have a friend who once mocked me for my inexperience. I had to reminding him why he knew so much about cars. He was a Type 3 guy. No a shitty car tho, but something always broke on it anyway.

So getting back to you, can we just have something Works? Is that a high bar?

Valid points until he brought up Nikola as an example. A terrible example.

Looking at the video, this is a fake, 3d printed PCB

This might be OP, or someone got the same exact fake card.

I've used the lighting on the hair. Most of that time the specular highlight doesn't match the rest of the face.

PSA: Zerotier can do the same thing, just set a hostname for a client in the control center.

What the actual fuck, NON of the nine picture are of JL. Although all nine posts tagged every living actress, celebrity and they mom.

Every hardware reviewer complained a about calling something xx80 while the card performs as a xx70 is a scamy move.

Why do I have the feeling that every person who complains about this as something of a deal breaker are from the US? This is so weird, the rest of the world moved on SMS 10-15 years ago.

Bit offtopic but I'm interested because I've never seen the answer.

Does JWST's imaging censors are 20 years old tech, or the team could used a modern sensor that fits the 20+ years old design specification?

Autodesk or simply get acquired/assimilated

This is not even a question, there is no room to wonder. Autodesk WILL buy and KILL whatever software that threatens its own.

Even in 2008, they just bought and killed one of their competitor in VFX, Softimage. Assuring everyone they wont kill it. This was a big deal. And ofc they killed it, basically telling their customers to go learn Max or Maya.

I find is absolutely hilarious that they've kept the images in Messages while one of Pegasus attack vector was sending a PSD file as a *.gif, which crashed Messages parser.

Apple is over confident in it ability.

People who need this have already a dumb phone, using this Lockdown mode is an unnecessary gamble on they part.

This looks great, I've been looking for a replacement for Mischief. There aren't many vector based drawing apps with infinite canvas.
