Unfortunately, I still haven’t found a good substitute for AE. And believe me: I find it absolutely horrendous software and would love not to have to use it anymore. Davinci Resolve can do some of the work, but the sheer amount of assets, plugins and the whole ecosystem for AE is kind of hard to replace.

Wasn’t figma acquired by Adobe recently? Also, refer Hitfilm Pro for people looking for an alternative for After Effects is just a joke.

Just try Linux, people. I bet at least 1/5 of you would be just fine with the change (I still have to dual boot because of work related stuff).
Ironically, Microsoft is making this the reality more so than Linux/GNU + Valve.

So, are these articles supposed to support your argument? Because they do the exact opposite.
Or have you completely missed the point?
- Comment on Unity May Never Win Back the Developers It Lost in Its Fee Debacle 1 year ago:
I think it’s vital that the community now makes the effort to recreate what was made around Unity with the voluntary support material and everything that made it a reference of approachability, over with an open source alternative that may become definitive.
Going to Unreal Engine, even though it might look like the obvious move atm, might be near sighted, and unwise.
What’s preventing this from happening again down the line with another big corporation? Monetary incentives always change.
Is it Godot? Maybe.
The community needs it’s blender, and now may be the best opportunity to do it. It’s a matter of organization and foresight. It’s been proven to be doable.

Are there even distinct groups we’re talking about anymore?
- Comment on Whatsapp is going to run terribly... 1 year ago:
This contrived correlation you’re trying to establish just doesn’t hold up to the statistics or common sense.
In every country there are individuals who value digital privacy and/or security.
The truth is, these individuals are the minority in virtually every case. The majority of the population, irregardless of overall education or social status, just doesn’t care enough to act upon the compromises necessary for a more private and secure digital life, instead opting for the more convenient way of doing things.
People in general just love having easy access to online services, and oversharing their information, either with Big Tech, or their peers over social media. That’s just human behavior.
Education could perhaps bring consciousness about this issue, but it’s most often the product of an individual concern. And this just can’t be simply related the way you’re insisting here.
There are no digital privacy/security classes in the structured general education on “more developed” countries. At least not contrasting with the lack thereof on the “least developed” countries in a statistically meaningful way.
We’re getting used to seeing the EU having to step in and legislate against or punish corporations on their abuse of customer data, just for that same legislation not to encounter an equivalent on the United States, or other “more developed” countries.
You gave the example of the coup in Mianmar, and the role of social media manipulation though fake news, and so on.
Do you really think people in Mianmar, or India are more manipulated by these apps than, say, people in the UK, Germany, or Switzerland?
Have you ever tried to talk about geopolitical events with the average Joe in Denmark? How about in the USA?

- Comment on The emergence of prompt engineers: The next in-demand role in AI - DataScienceCentral.com 1 year ago:
All this “AI” talk is starting to sound like a load of bs to me. Just like nfts and crypto. Specially compared to crypto, the tech is interesting, but maybe it’s being implemented and used in the worse way possible, fueled by greed, and probably denying us of it’s full potential. Or at least moving it further away into the future.
