Am I missing something, or did they just dress up a woman with a prosthetic leg to resemble an android, and remove the dressing around the prosthetic to “prove” she isn’t human?

Depending on which crypto, but yes. And the ASICs have a usable shelf life of just a few years, so I assume they are migrating to machines for AI processing as their ASICs need routine replacement.

Holy shit. I admire the camera guy for being able to hold the phone at all. I’d be running. I’d be crying, peeing, and running.

You know, the whole YMCA song he always used is starting to make more sense.

I would not be surprised to read a headline soon stating “Walmart to receive government subsidies for lost SNAP revenue.”

Regardless if SNAP has been funded.

I understand that the playbook focuses around a strategy that involves throwing as many wacky things at us dumdums as possible so that we lose focus, become jaded, and spread resources so thin that we can’t fully act against any single outrageous thing…

…but come on people. Is this what it takes to be truly evil? Because it sounds exhausting.

So, where are we now? We’ve gone from chunking spaghetti to distract from the files to reverse Uno using the files to distract from gaining full control of the military so that it would no longer matter what’s in the files?

+1 for Davinci replacing Premier (and its built-in Fairlight replacing Audition, for that matter).

However, it’s kind of weird that they say GIMP is a reasonable alternative to Photoshop, but RawTherapee isn’t for Lightroom.

And there is no mention of Illustrator.

The reason for that is, for those that use Illustrator as a part of their professional workflow, there is no viable alternative. There is software that can do some tasks the same, some tasks differently but at the same speed, some tasks the differently but take longer to achieve, and some tasks not at all. It’s those last two that make switching unviable for folks that use it as one of their primary tools for paying the bills

Again, I know it wasn’t mentioned in the article, I just thought it was strangely left out when just as poor alternatives to Photoshop were cited.

To be clear, I hate adobe. I hate windows (and apple). I’ve been trying to break completely free since 2011. I do revisit the available Linux software alternatives every few years, but never hold my breath. I even donate to projects that show promise. It’s just not there yet. To make a claim that it is, for anyone but hobbyists, is asinine.

So many people are in that same “would if they could” boat. But you can’t simply restructure your entire workflow if the resulting workflow doesn’t work.

Why send kids to re-education camps when you can just install camps where the kids already be!
