If someone uses wine, would you be so kind to post here for what programs?

Wine would be interesting for Photoshop due to the GIMP CMYK problems. I run Photoshop on Wine many years ago. I just needed it recently and did not get it to work. I had to use a Virtual Machine.

Could you please elaborate? I had infomaniak email with external (non infomaniak) domain. They don't seem to offer plain email hosting anymore. Please advise.

So whats bad about it?

Screamers anyone? Bladerunner? Natural City? Alien Resurrection?

I take them all!

Why the downvote. To which of the artificial ladies would you say no?

I was told publishers dont promote a good book anymore these days. They ask how many instagram followers do you have?

Maybe the self-publishing and BoD will decline in the long term due to ML white noise and publishers are a sign of quality again.

Agreed. A plain number as an answer could give you zero points. It is always UNITS UNITS UNITS. 10 what? Kg? Apples? kW?

I remember actually a chemistry test where I did not use units in an important calculation but only in the answer. If I had used units I would have realized that I totally fucked up. I went belly up. :-(

Dimensional analysis was part of my degree but honestly, I remember little.

I will re-post later. Please understand that I am still very confused and that I want to keep many things private. And while I understand your curiosity, this is not an AMA.

No, not China. I was imprisoned in a western EU country. The things that happened I had considered impossible in a rule of law country. I am a dual citizen, otherwise it would have been impossible to arrest me. I have family here and I am still in this country. Not in the same federal state but still in the same country. When I was released out of the blue I felt like leaving immediately but after some hours decided to travel to my family. I have 2k USD in cash with me. So no worries. I have a place to sleep for a few days and money. I expect to have a EU CC working within 1 or 2 days. I will fly to the US in 1 month, maybe two. Don't know yet. Everything is difficult. I had a fiancee before I got arrested etc.

Well, we all know these houses a in bad shape and require a major investment but I don't think this is a problem.

Fact is, you will create a tax liability there since most of this programs don't only require you to renovate the house, they also expect you to move there. . As much as I love Italy, I would not take the house with 50k USD on top of it for free.

Don't worry. Other countries will follow soon as online work becomes more available and the societies overage more. For some countries a collapse may be unavoidable. Crazy real estate prices? No retirement for you but please pay the retirement for the boomers? Sky high taxes? Good luck!

This "old version" is alive and well and has been since many many years. It is my daily driver on my laptop and my desktop. It is extremely lightweight, snappy and beautiful.

There is talk of switching to a newer version of Enlightenment since it is getting more stable again.

"Thanks Google. Think I’ll be buying this."

Well I wont. I will look for an accumulator replacement for my Pixel one.

700 USD every few years? Quite a bit of money.

Screensize? We had a joke in our (European) high school to tease someone: You shoe size develops like 10, 11, 12, coffin for children, coffin for adults, motorboat... Looks like the same thing is happening to cell phone screens.
