It’s fucking wild to me how so many people willingly signed over their privacy so blatantly.

Oh, I completely get that. I just wish that such a near-global response to American hostility would result in a wake-up call.

As much as Biden was an ineffective, geriatric capitalist, at least I didn’t have to give a shit about what he was doing day to day.

I wish an action like this would actually change things in the US, but it wouldn’t.

The American people would continue to suffer and die–the most vulnerable and already marginalized first. Conservatives will get more hostile toward everyone else because of scarcity. They’ll start shooting people at Wal-Mart over bread.

The rich will just white-knuckle grip their off shore bank accounts and move elsewhere.

Nuh-uh! /s

I’ll check this out!

Oof, I’ve got a GeForce and lean heavily into modded games. I’ll do some research.

Definitely not a shooter kinda guy. Thanks!

I’ve tried Krita and GIMP, but my brain, man . . .

I’m using PS CS5, which was released in 2010. After a quick look, it looks like it runs in Wine!

Thanks for the breakdown!

I already use Libre, but I do use Adobe CS5 for my side gig (fuck subscriptions). Nothing else I’ve tried has really worked for me.

I’ll have to look into Linux with older Photoshop versions.

I use Photoshop for my side gig, but I stopped at the last version before their criminal subscription bullshit.

I’ll have to look into it.

How approachable is the switch for laymen? I used to be pretty big into PC building, running RedHat, etc. Then I got old and even navigating gmail makes me angry.

Just imagining minding your business, doing your job, and getting dragged into this shit.

Is Linux any better for gamers these days? Not being able to use most of my software and games has always kept me back.
