Fallout was the first time they showed me ads and made their service less convenient than piracy. Now I dont even bother. If they have something I am interested in I DL it. I still have a subscription since it comes with my item delivery service.
it still whips the llamas ass.
Here i was hoping that it had popped back up.
they want to bring in the most money and expend the least effort. I can respect that.
Policing customers/users is a PITA and generally sux to do even on the smaller scale of an office. Much cheaper and easier to do nothing.
the Canadian government REQUIRES you to use Adobe reader to sign PDFs in order to immigrate to canada
This took a few frustrated attempts to discover for me. Moved to Canada last year and while I am a citizen my wife and kids are not. There was a lot of paperwork to fill out and submit and having repeated issues with documents not opening and seeming not to exist was crazy making. I dont normally install Adobe anything on my computers but decided it was worth a try…
Bright side of the story is that after less than a year the family is now all legal and have their PR cards. The Canadian gov can be refreshingly efficient sometimes.
“GIMP can’t do X”
=
“GIMP works differently than I am used to”
Same goes for Blender, Libre Office, Thunderbird and many other tools
Technically correct, which is the best kind.
Krita is amazing
Should work perfectly with Flatpack apps then!
I had typed a comment that I thought would be amusing, decided it really it was a rather unfunny low effort post and so immediately deleted it.

I have actually taken to downloading 1080p versions of things I have access to in 4kHDR from Disney and Amazon. Frankly I can not stand HRD/Dolby Vision versions of things. No matter how I adjust my TV they still suffer from that ghastly soap-opera effect. To me having the background bright and in focus flattens the image making everything look like a bad set. It also makes the tiny differences in lighting of digital effects elements more noticeably.
I hate it.
Getting it from my server securely to their TV is the issue.
you could put it on a thumb drive and drive it over if they live fairly close
or drop it in the mail if they dont.
Sadly I think I threw out my BeOS 5 install CD when I moved last year. For me it was a very neat tool but Linux/KDE was superior.
So this is not running Windows apps on linux, but displaying them on your linux desktop. You still need to run Windows in a VM.
Winamp still whips the Llamas ass.
I have had some good luck with Bottles.
Yes, very easy to create the VPN, but hard to hide your identity when your billing is attached to both ends.
I have D+ here in Canada and have never seen an ad. It is actually a pretty good deal here as it includes STAR (hulu equivalent). I only watch it on my TV but I dont think it would be any different on mobile as it is still the D+ app.
