After using Adobe CS6 for 10 years as refusing to upgrade to CC I switched to Mac and got the Affinity programs. Cost $50 for each of the Photoshop, Illustrator and Publisher equivalent programs with no monthly costs. Universal licensing across all platforms!
Also the developers are in Ukraine


The great dealmaker gives up on peace deal after failing to negotiate with Russia and just tells Ukraine to bend over…


I live in Phoenix, Arizona and these are all around. Honestly I feel like the future everyone will have Waymo type services and no one will own cars or even need to learn how to drive one. Who needs to worry about car repairs insurance etc.


I’m American I agree. Your country doesn’t deserve our businesses if we have a dictator running our country


Glad Canada is sticking to I because they’re sending a message Trump that they’re not going to fuck around with him flipping the on/off switch on tariffs


Content wise it’s underwhelming but it’s random videos. There’s more variety than Pixelfed which has an even smaller community. Eventually more trends will catch on to Lopps but I hope there’s more original content once it’s out of beta and public

They do encrypt using WPA2 and firewall separation the network also supports VPN


I tried Bluesky for while but honestly I like Mastadon and Lemmy better. I’m also testing LOOPS (tiktok replacement) which is from the same creator as Pixelfed. There’s something comforting using decentralized platforms that are safe from Government and Corporate intervention


Yeah I figured this would happen. And when the cost of gas goes up because of his Tarrifs we’ll be buying oil from Russia again…


I think it’s more a question of getting content creators to Peertube and the only way that will happen is if they add monitization which you need $ from ads or donations

Glad I filed my taxes last weekend. Just got my state return and my federal soon. Considering 1,000 people got laid off at the IRS with tax season people will be waiting months for their returns


It’s a good feature that’s only controversial because it was used on a shitty platform

Ai regulation is a joke because the tech evolves faster than legislation. Esp when you have open source LLMs out there. Not to mention Meta pirating Terrabytes of textbooks to train their models


The first award will go to Musk
He makes the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act like minimal in comparison
