  Yikes. As nice as it would be to have an extra $2500, I can’t imagine a scenario in which using this jackwad’s platform is a good idea.

  Unless they get creative this likely won’t do anything but piss off the human users. Research from a couple years ago found that bots are better than people at captchas.

  This is sort of the way ::: spoiler spoiler The Wrath of Becky ends. After exacting her revenge for the second time, she gets approached by a CIA person who basically offers her a job as a field agent/professional killer and she ends up getting support ro take out one final bad guy with a flipping tank. It’s a satisfying ending for the movie and for Becky. :::

  If you haven’t seen those movies, they’re worth checking out. They’re like 2 hours of revenge/justice porn, very violent and gory but entertaining.

  Love the new design! It’s so cute!

  Isn’t this charging model the same reason Kindle stopped allowing in app purchases? I thought they had said it was a Google play store thing though. Is Google doing it too or is there pricing something different?

  Here’s the main one I used to get started.

  udemy.com/…/101Yfa3@8XPxXbG1DlivBLYGDQBz4q_2ELh5R…

  I’ve started one on creating abstract art in Affinity that seems pretty good and I have a few others in my learning queue from him on specific parts of affinity that look really good but I haven’t done yet.

  Him and Lindsey Marsh have a bunch of content out there on the whole suite. I took Lindsey’s course on graphic design theory that was pretty good but that course used adobe so i used it more for general concepts. I think either of them would be a good place to start.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨List of Alternatives to Adobe Programs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also udemy has some fantastic courses to learn the whole suite, each can be purchased for lifetime access for $10-15 USD. The instructors I bought from are still actively updating their courses and I get all the new stuff, even though I bought when AD was still on v1.3.

  If you’re looking to learn it’s a really affordable way to do it.

  I just watched that again for the first time in a while. It definitely hits different in the age of AI driven layoffs.

  Highly recommend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers secretly experimented on Reddit users with AI-generated comments⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  These researchers conducted research in a manner that was totally unethical and they deserve to be stripped of tenure and lose any research funding they have.

  It already sounds like the university is preparing to just protect them and act like it’s no big deal, which is discouraging but I suppose not surprising.

  I ended up watching all 20 min of this video. Crazy amount of thought and detail he put into it, and a very impressive result.

  I’ve been learning it over the last few weeks, and I can say it definitely has a learning curve for folks used to the Microsoft style, it’s pretty solid. Integration with the affinity photo and designer are nice too - moving assets across them is incredibly easy.

  It’s not free but it’s really affordable, and it’s not on a subscription so once you buy it you own it. Would recommend checking it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨same as it ever was⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It sounds so classy when a choir sings it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let him go!!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Really some insightful questions from the audience too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is right on the line of creepy surveillance and interesting public art project. I kind of like the idea but not a fan of the fact that it’s recording in stealth. I wish it were more transparent about it. Most people wouldn’t care anyway and it removes some of the discomfort of listening in on a bunch of strangers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨👣👣👣⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It also sucks for the hiring manager who has to interview candidates they know they won’t hire just to stick to the process. It’s a waste of everyone’s time.
