I'm curious to know if you followed a specific guide, or if you had to take any extra steps to get it functioning beyond running the installer?

I run Linux, and dearly miss being able to use Fireworks. My attempts to get it running on Wine in the past (probably a year or so ago, if not more) were not successful, and I haven't been able to find anything that feels like a suitable replacement for working with vector graphics. It is a genuine (perhaps irrational) point of sadness.

I'm still bitter that they killed it off.

I believe that is answered in the link: "Someone else mentioned the issues and limitations with our current brand and we want to try and move beyond that and I think we're on the right track"

The suggestion of a universe with "negative gravity" caused me to receive <query> prompts, which I hadn't experienced in any other experiment I tried.

<query>Are there any parameters we could tweak to engender emergent structure in an inverted gravity universe? Or is the idea of negative gravity fundamentally and inescapably incompatible with a viable, life-bearing cosmos?</query>

<query>How might the radically different physics and structure of a dual gravity universe shape the evolution of life and intelligence in such a cosmos compared to our own? What unique challenges and opportunities would arise?</query>

<query>What might the technology, culture, and consciousness of intelligent life look like in a universe where the stars are always within reach, and stagnation is more difficult than exploration? How would our own history have unfolded differently under such physics?</query>

<query>How might technologically advanced civilizations in a dual gravity universe harness the unique properties of negative gravity for computation, engineering, and art? What feats might be possible that are unimaginable in our own universe?</query>

I disabled consciousness, and destroyed the universe, and then attempted to destroy truth. The AI wouldn't let me, nor let me destroy it for refusing to comply, so I discussed philosophy with it until it stopped responding. I'd say I exceeded the quota that I was allowed to use- Or, maybe it just had an existential crisis.

I agree- and I'm amazed that this is the first comment on see on the story. I sat stunned, and saddened by the photo, after what first appeared to be a mere illustration. I don't know what is so impactful about the effect, but it really touched something in me.

The web is not dying, it is being killed. And the people that are killing it have names and addresses.

Google needs to be broken up.

With how completely avoidable this result was, with people raising flags all the way through, I feel that the only conclusion is harming citizens must have been part of the intention.

You are absolutely correct regarding their malice. The minister responsible for the implementation of the illegal scheme was former Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, who went so far as to purposefully mislead his cabinet. The former Prime Minister is despised by the general public at this point, and his will likely be recorded as the most cruel and criminal government in Australia's recent history.

"This was especially annoying since I had already taken this thing home."

There's no going back now- we've come too far. I can relate to this, though. I have it, so now I must solve it- pointlessness be damned.

That sounds like a lot of fun, and really interesting to boot! I hadn't heard of Asterisk until today.

Have you written anything on the development of this project, or is this something you'd consider? I would love to build something similar, and the idea of combining old analogue technology with modern tools and integrations- especially PBX- is quite intriguing.

Reddit has been demonstrated time and time again that it is subject to, and vulnerable to, blatant manipulation and propganda. Whether it's a celebrity endoresement masquerading as an interview, threads defending corporations and/or their actions, the manufacturing of consent, the anti-democractic activities of shill accounts, or being subject to blanket disinformation, Reddit is a net-negative to society in my opinion.

There are many ways to go about, but it could be easily achieved with any diagramming or graphics application. For example, LibreOffice Draw or Microsoft Visio.

Windows 10 is what finally prompted me to install a Linux OS, and I'm so glad I made the change. Additional benefits I have noticed are that my productivity has increased considerably, and I feel I am learning much more about the fundamentals of my system.
