Yeah, Adobe sucks major ass but while I’ve been meticulous for quite a few years to choose software that’s either FOSS or at least had native Linux versions, I can’t see myself doing the photography stuff in the alternatives. I’m moving more and more away from that work for moving images instead and the main programs I use for that do work (DaVinci resolve, blender). Thank you!

I’m a pretty advanced user on Windows and I sometimes use the command prompts but it’s pretty darn rare, and I certainly don’t have any commands memorized. I have a couple basic commands memorized for the run tool but even that rarely comes up. I don’t tinker with my machine for the sake of it though, ideally I want it to “just work” and I’d want the same thing from Linux. And I do want that but unfortunately there’s a few programs I need for my work that don’t run on it (namely lightroom and Photoshop). Spending time on Lemmy did make me want to install a dual boot mint though, I have a separate drive for it I need to move from my old machine, doing that soon^tm.

This particular program would work great in combination with old school German/Dutch toilets with the poop shelf, take a pic after the deed and let the program tell you how you need to adjust your diet.

£1,095 a month to live in a shed!!

Pierogi?

That would at least be a step in the right direction.

I think they know and were making a funny ;)

I can share my experience if you’d like, I’m also EU based, I’m assuming like you if you’re looking at Peugeot (they don’t sell in the US).

I come from a long lineage of buying shitty old second hand cars and driving them until they die or aren’t worth fixing to pass the yearly check. Eventually when I had a decent job and my wife moved here and couldn’t drive manual cars, we got a Lexus hybrid, 4 years old car we still have today. I love Toyota/Lexus but when I started my business I wanted more space to move my equipment.

Started with a 20 years old Renault Kangoo, that was actually fine but none of the electric stuff worked (windows, dashboard, etc…).

I knew I was gonna replace it at least for safety reasons, and already wanted to go electric but my wife wasn’t convinced, so I got one more gas car (ford focus wagon) and the engine was so shit it couldn’t handle a slight hill climb with us in the car…

I decided I was done with gas cars and we actually debated getting a brand new car. During this search, it was clear Tesla was a slightly better deal on paper than the competition when buying new. Basically for the price of base models in other brands you get all the options with Tesla model Y…

But I really didn’t want to get Tesla for all the moral reasons, + there’s a lot of hidden costs with them especially insurance, additional safety equipment required by said insurance and the big costs for repairs in case of even minor fender benders…

Realised going brand new was just not for us, we’re just not that wealthy and it would’ve ended up costing us more than the house monthly, not to mention going into debt for it.

So I took a long hard look at my requirements and realized 95% of the time I don’t need the extra space, so I found a used Peugeot 208 electric which I was able to swap my ford for and basically didn’t pay anything additional when all said and done.

I LOVE it, it’s well built, I got the GT with all options, and the size is actually perfect for navigating European roads, I can park anywhere, go anywhere, no more worrying about no emission zones, etc etc.

The battery range is not the best on the market by a large margin but it’s honestly totally usable, for daily use you always leave the house with a full battery and make it home easily, and fast charge is very fast for highway trips but you do have to stop more often. The space inside is way more than you’d expect, I just have to use my old trusted Tetris skills once I’m a while, and when it’s not enough for the big projects with more requirements, I rent a van for the day…

Now don’t get me wrong stellantis is pretty shit too but at least less visibly than Tesla, and their app/connected services are useless, but I still love my little 208. It’ll certainly become the 2nd car some day though once we replace the Lexus for another full electric with more range/space.

I would worry about the 2008 though since it’s the same battery in a heavier vehicle and range is already something I have to think about in the 208.

I worry a lot less about getting a “cheaper” electric brand too, because the mechanics of it are so much simpler with fewer points of failure, whereas I basically only trust Toyota’s engines anymore on the gas front.

Yep my house came with recessed and first thing I did was replace them all with hue (thankfully I had access to a good deal on them, I was already in the ecosystem since before there were really any alternatives, these days I’d get something else if starting from scratch because they take the piss with pricing if you don’t get discounts). I’d still prefer a different lighting scheme but combined with a few other lamps and with the various colour scenes they’re fine, and you can’t complain about the space saved physically and visually by needing fewer lamps.

This house has a crazy amount though, mine has like 15/20 total and I only RGB’d the living room and bathroom.

You just don’t get it do you??? The ONLY thing that can carry the movie is the script and exposition through dialogue!!! Everything else is a sin against the purity of the cinematic art form!!! /s

I really want more information on this wiki page, it’s nice that it explained the marbling is from mixing in red wine or porto, but would be nice to know more about how it originated, when, etc.

Canal has always been a terrible company from as far as I can remember. They had the best programs sure but their ultra-capitalist methods, the fact they were always involved with whatever scandal/corporate abuse and at the time the only channel you had to pay for always turned me off. Especially since France had great public TV and other private channels available for free.

Modern fridges killing that game with the warning beeps when you leave the door open smh.

Looks like they used to just blow the place the fuck up.

It’s Paris so the car is probably parked in the middle of the sidewalk with blinkers on, the walkers just go all over the place without giving a fuck and there’s 3 bikes running a red light in the back.

I’m just here to point out the technical inconsistency of the light on the moon in front of the planet in the wallpaper. They’re lined up and being lit by the same star/sun so they should be illuminated the same angle.

Don’t worry though, my phone wallpaper has a similar issue, these graphic artists just don’t give a damn.

I’m curious, do we know why the French seem to be all over these debrid services?

Yes 3D modelling like in blender can be quite precise but it’s a completely different mindset than CAD, much more about taking basic shapes and sculpting into what you want. Of course then there’s the whole animating/shading/lighting and so on which don’t exist in CAD at all.

That’s right I guess, but at least in a beignet there’s a bit of preparation involved, I was picturing just whole fried apples or maybe like french fries but made of apple, but you’re right I guess beignet counts.

Fried apples? Maybe that’s a Texas thing, or Scottish, but it wouldn’t be a source of confusion in France because they’d take your passport away if you tried frying an apple.
