Hello!

I’m a nonbinary Canadian Blender artist! You can find my work here: Galleries, commissions, prints, and more!

I cancelled my Adobe sub and stopped using their products several months ago. The presence of AI “features” wasn’t the reason, but it is certainly nice to not have to deal with them.

Also obligatory: Fuck you Adobe for not paying me for using my stock images to train your AI.

If I am unable or unwilling to purchase a game (lack of funds, ethical concerns, etc) and I cannot pirate it or get it heavily discounted then I do something very simple and efficient.

I just don’t play it. There are heaps of great games out there, new and old, that I can put my time into instead.

Many of the games that pack Denuvo these days are AAA trash that I wouldn’t play anyway.

Gamers are not the only people that use Windows. A lot of creative and commercial software either requires Windows or works best on it.

I think Windows is garbage as much as everyone else here, but switching is not that easy.

iCloud has come some ways but there is still a huge feature disparity between it and competitors like Google.

iCloud is a good accessory if you’re already somewhat involved in Apple’s ecosystem but you have to pay if you want more than a fraction of a thimbleful of storage and it lacks many basic features and compatibilities. iCloud Drive in particular is extremely barebones and completely overshadowed by Google, Proton, and Microsoft.

Also another thing is that cloud suites need to be platform agnostic and iCloud is very ass when used from the web. This will continue to be a major thing holding it back until Apple accepts that iCloud won’t truly succeed until they stop giving an inferior experience to non-Apple devices.

Good. I want my ebikes to be quiet and transparent, like the electric powertrain isn’t even there so I can enjoy my rides in peace and quiet. So many ebikes are basically motorcycles with how aggressively fast and noisy they are.

The scummyness of this company knows no bounds.

Their entire survival hinges on keeping investment money flowing, which means they essentially have to lie and over-promise.

A chronic issue plaguing the entire tech and media sector right now. Line must go up no matter the costs.

The primary reason I moved to iPhones was because I got absolutely sick and tired of my android phones being abandoned by the manufacturer after a year. I’m sure it is better these days, but those earlier days of extremely slow Carrier-based updates completely ruined my trust and I know I’m not the only one.

The stunt driving charge includes a 30-day licence suspension and the vehicle is impounded for 14 days.

Driving dangerously fast and endangering the lives of other drivers and then flees from the cops and is still allowed to drive after a month?

There is something seriously wrong here.
