Now I’m definitely sticking with LaTeX. Thanks.

business part of it

This is the part I don’t want.

It is, perhaps, the only thing he touches that is made in the USA.

I bet Tim Apple is really happy about his large donation to the Trump inauguration.

Then again, if you’re that rich, maybe having some intelligence and foresight should be an expectation. If you don’t have those things, maybe you shouldn’t be rich.

That said, for a 25% tariff, it isn’t even close. Still far cheaper for Apple to manufacture outside of the US and pass that additional cost to the US consumer.

Is it just me, or does that sound like a monopoly?

Do any creatives attempt to create assets for another platform?

I’m really not blaming creatives on this one. Obviously they need to make money. But this seems like a clear case of advantage being taken against one skillset by virtue of monopoly.

I’d say it seems like the key issue affecting creatives, if AI didn’t exist.

As an outsider: how did we get to a point where every creator is limited to one box?

Is it the case that most creatives cancel their subs when they get that job? Does the job have a site license (assuming Adobe even allows site licenses)?

It won’t stop until creatives stop paying.

There are alternative tools available, but the number of people I have seen not want to learn a new UI is high. Adobe knows this, so they continue to raise prices.

His left eye infuriates me whenever his right eye doesn’t

At least we know there will never be a shortage of cherry pickers in the US.

Nothing harder than that

I wouldn’t call it an appliance, but I almost always use cast iron for beef.

For all the shark jumping these corporations do, it still shocks me how many people just keep paying. Even other corporations, in this case.

Are the periods in the room with you right now?

Tbh, I’m super into this. Especially if the range could be extended slightly or if the truck is somewhat hackable.

But then… Bezos. Ugh.

Sure. But the costs for implementing such a thing are certainly above simply using the tools on the platform on which the dev has decided to release their work. If they disagree, don’t release it there.

This idea that the consumer should do something additional besides giving you money is a nonstarter.

But remember: the design and initial implementation of the internet was paid for by the populace. It is supposed to be filled with cool and useful, free stuff.

Corporate interests and “web 2.0” have turned it into a weird hellscape of misinformation and targeted advertising. It was not designed for it.

It’s the walled garden thing that gets me. At some point, people got complacent. I’m 100% confident that there is an entire swath of the population which has never considered that Discord is a corporate entity with corporate interests. We made open standards for a reason.

On whatever platform(s) you sell your games. The key is not expecting someone to sign up for a different service for your updates.

Hopefully they just post updates on the platforms they sell their games on. I shouldn’t need to sign up for anything else.
