Linux@lemmy.ml•Developer patches Wine to make Photoshop 2021 & 2025 run on Linux — Adobe Creative Cloud installers finally work thanks to HTML, JavaScript and XML fixes
2·2 months agoWish there was into on how to pirate adobe for Linux. Even into for Windows is hard to find (for obvious reasons) when you’re someone like me who doesn’t know where to look.
This is not an invitation to tell me how and get banned lol

Programming@programming.dev•I got paid minimum wage to solve an impossible problem
1·3 months agoIn retrospect it’s pretty obvious that the most efficient way to traverse a grid would include no diagonals. Every time you move on an axis you move to a cell in 1 unit distance of travel. Why would you ever choose to move to a cell in √2 unit distances when you could move 1 unit distance to achieve the same result of covering one more cell?

Technology@lemmy.zip•Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse GoodbyeEnglish
71·4 months agoMetaverse is a (imo cringe) term for VR experiences in general, but in particular VR social experiences. Facebook changed their name to Meta specifically to try to brand themselves as the metaverse company, it wasn’t the other way around.
“Sounds like it is working pretty well to me” when I spend multiple days trying to get Linux working for one purpose (to draw) and am unsuccessful.
This is why “current year is the year of the Linux desktop” is hilarious to anyone who doesn’t use Linux.

Most zoomers are adults. 96 to 2010 means only the youngest zoomers are minors. In 3 years, every zoomer will be a legal adult.

2·8 months agoIt is an edited xkcd. Here’s what the license has to say about that

I wouldn’t expect somebody reposting a meme to follow the licensing requirements, but it is technically in violation.
People have called NPCs in video games “AI” for like, decades.
The gameplay seems to borrow heavily from Schedule I, but Schedule I’s graphics are somewhat cohesive. The graphics for Tollbooth Simulator are unharmonious, and together with the - from an outside perspective - unoriginal gameplay, and possibly AI generated title banner, makes it seem like an asset flip.
But that’s just my outside opinion having not played the game.

Technology@lemmy.zip•DuckDuckGo Is Hoping to Win Over AI-Hating SearchersEnglish
3·8 months agoIt used to be when you searched for something, it was information first, products second. If you searched bicycle, it would give you the Wikipedia page for bicycle, and then pages related to bicycles, some of which would be retailers. Now it’s the other way around, if the informational pages even show up at all.
Forget all the AI bullshit, this is my biggest gripe with search engines today. This is why people use ChatGPT - for all its faults - to search shit that Google used to answer. ChatGPT will confidently lie to you, but it least it gives you an answer instead of trying to sell something to you.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Yes, I wrote a very expensive bug. In my defense I was only seven years old at the time

Linux@lemmy.ml•I'm committing to Linux, but it's so unstable. Any suggestions?
31·1 year agoLove how when someone has issues with Linux but not Windows somehow it’s pebkac. Classic annoying Linux user response.

I always love the responses to these videos because it’s invariably a bunch of skilled Linux people showing their entire ass trying to justify why the average user would somehow have had a magically better experience and the OP is uniquely bad at computers. Get fucking real. Sit down, shut up, and take notes. It’s never going to be the year of the Linux desktop if you ignore the issues encountered by new Linux users.
