I’m ignoring you’re requirements and am gonna suggest you use GIMP instead. In all seriousness, you may want to look into a dual boot situation where you have Windows in a partition just big enough to do all the work you need to do. You could also look at VMs, but I’m not sure how well they would play with something that is resource hungry like Adobe products.
Still better than nothing. Not sure how I feel trusting Google to keep my data secure, but on its face I think it’s a good thing. It should be used in conjunction with other good opsec practices, but having tools available to more people is a good thing. This assumes that it actually does what it says it does on the tin.
You learn so much more doing it yourself instead of having AI write code for you. When I first learned how to admin an Apache server I had 0 understanding how it worked, but with some effort I’m now confident enough to do a simple setup on my own. I did follow along with tutorials and examples configs, but I made sure I knew what each part did at least on a high level. The reason I’m confident in this is that I know how to read the docs and how to troubleshoot issues when they happen.
When you let AI do all the work you don’t learn the inner workings of a system and are only hurting yourself. If you want to use AI use it for writing some boiler plate you’ve already written hundreds of times or taking simple functions and converting them to another language. I use AI for basic and repetitive tasks, which is something it’s great at. I don’t use it for making large design decisions since that will (not “if”, but “will”) bite me in the ass later on when something breaks. Examples of good uses of AI (in my opinion): generating a list of US states in JavaScript, take a function that converts a strijg to a date object and try to translate it to another language, use it as a tool to bounce some high level ideas off of when you’re at a development block.
And you have summed up why I block those communities. There are surely cases of people abusing power, but a majority of it is just people wanting to stir up shit.
I believe it’s supposed to be a fediverse version of Instagram. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong
I know it’s for like donations and grants, but I choose to imagine they are paid $100k+ just cause they are really good a gift wrapping and ideas.
Thank you for posting the solution you found. If you don’t mind, what OS are you using?
Cause it’s good to know of something is an installed package at a glance. I also imagine it would reduce the risk of accidentally overwriting your own scripts if the packages happen to have the same name as your local scripts.
Well I guess if you need scripts to work in a mixed Windows/Linux environment that makes sense. On the other hand the few times I have to touch powershell it’s so verbose and cryptic at the same time, so I think I’ll stick with bash personally.
Fair point. I think I’m just too used to dealing with the bullshit of building the packages myself cause I find it fun. Definitely not viable for commercial use.
You know there are distros other than Ubuntu and CentOS right?
What distro of Linux did you install on the laptop? I’ve had no luck getting wine to work on Fedora, but my desktop is running Bazzite which is based on the steam deck OS and I’m games run great (sometimes with tweaking required).
