Affinity Designer 2 might be the only one close to what Adobr Illustrator can handle.

No worries! I figured you did, but I wanted to add extra context for anyone as slow as me lmao!
It maaaaakkkeees sense, but i’ll never go back to ios anything lol! I gave it a try for a few years, even went SUPER deep into the ecosystem. Leaving was a pain, but im glad I did.

To an extent it is. Apple is or has started the patent for this. The image is just rendered for a visual representation of what they are doing, and for us to see they are reinventing old tech.

I used to curse and scream at my jellyfin software and apps, now I swear by them.
I took a day out of my life, not even a full day lol, and just watched countless YouTube videos on how to set it up and how to customize it how I like.
Now it’s my absolute favorite. I’m learning about building a home server and all that jazz now and I feel nostalgic, like a kid building his first computer lol!

What are your top recommendations, my friend? I’m big on that, I like the social aspects if sites in a sense, but I prefer having a grouped area for my news.
While politics are important to stay up to date on, I’m trying to fix mt feeds to have as minimal political news as possible, unless I click on it.
I’ve been using inoreader, but haven’t quite figured it out either. I’d like to follow scientists and environmentalists like you mentioned, but also artists, designers, small businesses, etc.
I’m trying to stay up to date in my relevant fields, but also find people to donate my time to. I’ve heard mastodon is great for networking, but to be honest, everyone on lemmy has been bad ass. This is becoming my new hub, does lemmy connect into mastodon fediverse thingy? Lol!

Any way I can help you with your goals? No charge of course. I’d like to see more free options available for people, my time is worth the sacrifice to help give power back to the people.

Would you say there’s a good amount of hashtags and what not for the creative type? I’m trying to find ways to network with people in my industry a little better. Cheers mate

Any good things to follow on Mastodon? I’ve tried using it, but between BlueSky and Lemmy, it doesn’t seem to have as many users. No biggie, just asking. Cheers!

Yep. Half their products feel cheaper in quality than Temu. I cancelled Amazon years ago when I realized they let ANYONE sell on there. Pair that with the corporate monopoly they and others hold, I passed on supporting it.

I cancelled Amazon years ago and haven’t looked back. Initial FOMO for basic things and for hard to find items. Funny enough, you get better shipping and better deals FROM the actual company than through Amazon.
Fuck Amazon and anything Bezos owns. Stop funding these billionaire fucks.
