Wine makes Windows applications work in Linux. Wine solved a lot of issues with translation, but most Windows games use DirectX for their graphics, which is proprietary to Windows.
DXVK translates DirectX to Vulcan (Open Source graphics API used in Linux), allowing GPUs on Linux to run DirectX games.
Photoshop and Lightroom are what keep me with Adobe. The Open Source stuff simply doesn’t cut it for my needs.
I actually prefer Inkscape over Illustrator. I also still have a lingering fondness for Corel Draw, but I think that’s mostly because I started using it back in 89 when it released.
I also sometimes miss the simple days of learning to use a mouse with Dr Halo.
Do you know if it was actually removed?
Yeah. Because Google would never keep the images anyway.
Try driving an RV sometime. People have a moral obligation to pass you I guess, because you can be driving warp 8 and people will pass you angrily before slowing down.
My best friend is a librarian, and they’ve stopped buying ebook licenses because the terms were awful.
The publishers only allowed an ebook to be checked out a few times before the library had to purchase a license extension. The argument was that pylhysical books face wear and tear and eventually have to be replaced, so ebooks should have to be replaced too.
Yes, but it also hurts their case when they’re demonstrating clearly that they can filter out ads they determine to be harmful.
Isreal stopping it’s assault on Lebanon was one of Iran’s conditions of the 10 point-plan to end the war in 2 weeks, so Israel decided to accelerate the bombing to wipe them out before the 2 weeks is up.
I swear to God that Word exists to make us feel better about Outlook.
You ask people online and get 78 different answers, then get caught up in decision paralysis and stick with windows.
There’s a lot of rot, but they’ve been depending on a cluster of personality. Those often collapse when the personality dies without a sucessor with popular support, which requires the cult leader to groom the public to their sucessor.
The thing with Trump is he has too much ego for that, and Vance doesn’t have the loyalty of the MAGA militant.
Claudius wasn’t 2nd in command. He was way down the list.
And the first thing he did as emperor was execute some of the Praetorians for being overzealous when cleaning house.
I mean… the first instance of that was replacing Caligula with Claudius. It just kinda went south after that.
Aaron lot of out infrastructure still uses floppy discs.
I feel like you really don’t need Lego to depict Trumpnas a war-hungry pedophile.
That’s what the news and objective reality are for.
Sometimes economic damage ends up being deadlier than bombs. I don’t care about billionaires, but I do care about people who suddenly can’t afford to travel to their job or pay for groceries or healthcare.
But meeting the US’s requirements doesn’t prevent products from being sold in Europe.
It’s the same reason film studios started pandering to China and why frying pans sold in Florida have a cancerous materials warning label that’s only required in California.
Companies cater to restrictive regulations in major markets because those products are still legal in less-restrictive territories.
Yes, but the US is a huge, profitable market. And companies will bend over backwards to appease Nazis so long as it’s more profitable to do so than not.
Within the US we have issues with all the US History books being written to comply with Texas’s “slavery was actually good for black people” bullshit because Texas is such a big market and everybody wants in on it.
If the US government bans Graphene, Motorola will drop them in 1/1000th of a heartbeat.
Yeah. This is something I’ve been trying to explain for a while. Between the Steam Deck and the declining overall market share of PCs, there’s a huge jump in Linux as far as percentage of users goes, but it isn’t actually making significant waves in general usage. Regular users are sticking with Windows and Mac, but now there’s 1 Windows or Mac laptop in a household shared by everyone now versus multiple laptops and a desktop a few hardware cycles back.
