Always really enjoyed him on TechTV and This Week In Tech. Good chemistry with Leo Laporte- made for some very fun shows.

Photopea is only good for smaller edits/files otherwise it starts lagging like crazy.

That said, Affinity is quite fair fast even on huge files. You can bring over like 80% of your Photoshop muscle memory.

Honorable mentions depending on your needs: Figma, Penpot, Krita

I wish they would release Tiberium Sun

On reddit you can downvote spam, so I don't think it survives on the populated reddits.

Tailwind was far ahead of its time in having an OSS business model overall friendly to users while still being able to fund development (Note: OSS projects like Minio, ScyllaDB and CockroachDB do a far more insidious "open core only", or "crazy licensing fees after x processes/users" , etc). It was great to see OSS succeed financially without ads or punishing users.

"Information should be free", sure, but lets not kid ourselves, these massive new AI companies are making themselves new gatekeepers with new artificial moats for themselves. Information is not federated / distributed anymore.

We need "GPL for AI" that restricts AI scrapers from performing content theft/repackaging.

I'm fairly convinced these are bot / LLM generated PR's in the first place; the content is nonsensical garbage.

Oh man, tons of updates including DDL replication! V2 looks very impressive.

Now I'm curious how sharding/routing is handled- which seems like the final piece of the puzzle for scaling writes.

I like the idea of a "markdown for logic", with transpiliation to lots of different easy backends such as javascript.

Not convinced the language would actually be useful, but I like the ideas for portability.

Udemy is famous for the fuck off style for paying customers.

If you're young, schedule an appointment and go in, get your blood work done. Does not require a family doctor. Last time there was barely any wait time for me.

The annual scheduled vists are for older people / seniors.
