Could also check out openSUSE if you don’t mind the lack of an AUR

Until Open AI announces a new 5t model or something and then the hype refreshes

Yeah there’s no easy win, Affinity is the closest competitor but it’s worth keeping in mind that they’re not the anti-adobe, they’re not fighting for accessible open software, especially not since they’ve sold out to Canva.

I am still happy with my purchase and I think it’s a good deal tho esp on a sale, just worth the consideration.

I’d add that they often have steep sales, and Black Friday is coming, but also while affinity is an underdog their formats are just as closed source if not more so than Adobe

They did release it but the latest iteration that’s on steam deck is still steam deck only, or shared via community projects like the one you mentioned

Let them focus on the streaming sites that are a dime a dozen than go for the main sites

And if the Russians went for your country too would you shout “surrender” then too? Do you have the slightest idea how much speech and media is controlled in Russia? Did the “joke” of Putin’s political opponents accidentally falling off windows not translate in your head that that’s not the type of govt to allow to rule over others?

They can state all they want, if their clients don’t pay for it they’d sell their firstborn son to get the numbers back up

But not the options in them. Look at the first screenshot, the options available and their position on screen are identical to a T, “add to favourites”, “download”, more options next to the album art, followed by a play and shuffle button, followed by the playlist, followed by 3 tabs, a home, search/explore, and my music tab. This isn’t just “card with heading and options next to it” close

Edit: and no, it’s very much the visual style that differentiates material design from everything else lol, like it has components available on material.io sure but they’re just basic components, cards, buttons, etc. not full screens.

Idk the layout and available options in the first few screens are way too close, this isn’t just stylistic similarity

Then pay for a streaming service or buy Blu-rays. You’re paying either way, the methods above are just paying with your time

Sadly as many times as needed, complacency is how these companies get “loyal customers” who are willing to put up with bs

Yes, but not in matters of space, but time. It speaks to the current state of Australia’s view on monarchy.

Watch Amazon sue them or something lmao

They’ve only enabled it on a few servers but you can force enable it via vencord plugins

Well who knows, they do offer AI summaries now so they’re at least using the data for something,who says they won’t use it for other things in the future

“make” usually implies already having one, advising to just go out when given the option to recycle an existing kindle with a debloated experience to instead go and buy something else is encouraging ewaste

Because now you’re using discord for more things? You’re giving them more data? What’s not to like

Oh I agree, it’s very much a “forcing a round peg into a square hole” situation, but I doubt discord will make any changes to push back against it

Because a lot of people go to discord servers to access existing information?
