No problem. they are great currently.

The UI was pretty bad before, it took forever to get people to understand what was going on. Now it’s just a few tips and tricks and people are off and running. They did a great job.

Blender did an amazing job with their overhaul. I really don’t know why anyone would use anything else for 3d modeling. I’m hoping they pump up their CAD features, but I understand if they don’t.

Yep, and then everyone will go start looking for another option again. I hope they don’t, but those CEOs got get their more millions paychecks so they can stand up straight at the country club, somehow.

FYI, Affinity was bought by Canva, this is probably an advertising. Affinity will probably enshitify in the next release. Hopefully not, but who knows.

Their showcase reel is great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQElJP1AaS0

It’s more of a paint program, and it’s great if you have a pen and tablet. I haven’t tried out gimp for while, but it was more of a photoshop alternative at that time. I think Apple’s version of Krita would be Procreate, but Krita is free.

Krita.org does a nice job of showing of their work and so does Blender

They’re not flashy, but they definitely make me want to download them and check them out.

It already has taken tons of graphic jobs. Also look up Graphite by IBM, it’s advertising to companies to hire them to do their code. Which would be taking code jobs. I kind of think people don’t understand how it’s going to be taken as far as it can be taken by these corporations. If half the populace loses their jobs, they just don’t care. I really don’t get on who they think is going to be all of these products and services if no one has jobs, but their following quarter might be better.

Could you recommend a tutorial to help me do that?

I think they’re having you agree to what they’ve already been doing.

Photoshop’s newest terms of service has users agree to allow Adobe access to their active projects for the purposes of “content moderation” and other various reasons.

They want you to give up the goods to train AI, old art is bad art to them. Also, this:

This has caused concern among professionals, as it means Adobe would have access to projects under NDA such as logos for unannounced games or other media projects. Sam Santala, the founder of Songhorn Studios noted the language of the terms on Twitter, calling out the company’s overreach.

I think they’ve already been doing this for awhile? They must be about to get caught or something. They want to use, and probably already are, your new ideas for training AI.

anything it recommends suffers from being sourced in a void, devoid of true meaning.

You just described most of reddit, anything Meta, and what most reviews are like.

Thank you, I’ll look into it.

That looks too good to be true, do you use it? I’ve been not as happy with Firefox lately. They keep a record of all my bookmark history and update so often it makes your head spin. I couldn’t tell if the updates are because they’re doing something or it’s so popular that they need to do that for security.

How does the metal detector work? I’ve never heard of a phone being able to do that.

Meta owns that, so it’s complicated.

Grok

Elon owns that one.

That’s a nah.
