Downvoting because the title says “best” and I disagree. Apple products have a bunch of drawbacks, I wouldn’t buy them even if the hardware is strong and efficient.

I have seen socialist posts. And I seriously don’t know what’s your problem with that. Are you a burgoise who want to enslave the working class? In case of this, I can understand your problem. Otherwise, I think you are just uninformed and you have never read Karl Marx.
I’m pro-ukraine btw.

The guy is a socialist who belives in democracy. Russia and China is a shame on socialism.
- Comment on last chance to look at me hector 2 weeks ago:
You mean socialist? That does not mean Putin supporter. Do you know any case when someone stated pro-putin or anti-ukraine stance?
- Comment on last chance to look at me hector 2 weeks ago:
Any explanation?

This won’t protect your .env files though, right?
Right, but my machine is safe at least.

You can, for pnpm package cache you need to attach another volume, and another for globally installed packages.

- Comment on How could AI be better than an encyclopedia? 1 month ago:
The concept of understanding implies some form of meta-knowledge about the subject.
That can be solved if you teach it the meta-knowledge with intermediary steps, for example:
prompt: 34*3=
step1: 43 + 303 = step2: 12 + 1033 = step3: 12 + 10*9= step4: 12 + 90 = step5: 100 + 2 = step6: 102
result: 102
It’s hard to find such learning data though, but e.g. claude already uses intermediary steps. It preprocesses your input multiple times. It writes code, runs code to process your input, and that’s still not the final response. Unfortunately, it’s already smarter than some junior developers, and its consequence is worrying.

But LLMs are not simply probabilistic machines. They are neural nets. For sure, they haven’t seen the world. They didn’t learn the way we learn. What they mean by a caterpillar is just a vector. For humans, that’s a 3D, colorful, soft object with some traits.
You can’t expect that a being that sees chars and produces chars knows what we mean by a caterpillar. Their job is to figure out the next char. But you could expect them to understand some grammar rules. Although, we can’t expect them to explain the grammar.
For another example, I wrote a simple neural net, and with 6 neurons it could learn XOR. I think we can say that it understands XOR. Can’t we? Or would you say then that an XOR gate understands XOR better? I would not use the word understand for something that cannot learn.
- Comment on How could AI be better than an encyclopedia? 1 month ago:
Any explanation? If they can write text, I assume they understand grammar. They are definetly skilled in a way. If you do snowboarding, do you understand snowboarding? The word “understand” can be misleading. That’s why I’m asking what’s understanding?
- Comment on How could AI be better than an encyclopedia? 1 month ago:
What’s understanding? Isn’t understanding just a consequence of neurons communicating with each other? This case LLMs with deep learning can understand things.

For 3D animations, Modo has linux-x86_64 binary. Blender is native also.
I’ve never been into 2D animations.
For compositing, The Foundry Nuke is native also. (If you’ve got the money, or you’re willing to buy it from seejeepeers)
For video editing, most youtubers use DaVinci Resolve.
Inkscape is slow as it’s using SVG for its backend and not as polished as an illustrator but it is feature-rich. Adwaita icons are designed in inkscape. It’s not a big sacrifice.
I learned photoshop when It was the CS4 version. I know it’s got a lot of AI features since then. Luckily, I left it before I could get used to them, so now I can use gimp. And btw, check gimp’s new release candidate. It’s a huge step forward. Everyone could give them their adobe cc subscription fees and we could see how they compete after that.
Why do you use affinity if you have adobe?

That’s no different from growing up in a straight world. So that’s why it doesn’t have an effect.
- Comment on Funny 2 months ago:
That is true, however, I think the resolution influences the result. I can be wrong, but there isn’t really an experiment where someone tries to convince kids to be gay and see the outcome. It’s just become forbidden to think this amongst the progressives for no reason.
- Comment on Funny 2 months ago:
No I’m not. It’s not about attraction. Biologically it doesn’t matter who stimulates your genitals. Then I found girls attractive, but that came way after I could have an orgasm.
Prove me that it’s not because of the environment.
- Comment on Funny 2 months ago:
It’s not an instant switch like you pick up a sport. I believe everybody is bisexual at first, because the genitals work, no matter what sex, however, your soul gets specialized into a direction. I started having fantasies, I accepted those about girls, and rejected those about boys, based on my social norms that my environment gave me. And I became a happy straight guy. I can’t prove whether a different environment would have made me different, but I also cannot disprove it.

There’s a similar effort to have a figma alternative. It’s called penpot. But when I tried to self-host it, first it’s inconvenient, second it missed features, that was there in their official site. I wish it good luck, but Ardour is pretty good already.
