driving trains sounds interesting, I pick that :D

Wait, if I’m not a software developer, then I must be a furry artist 🫣 The things I learn about myself on the internet… xd

If you’re interested in this topic, I simply must plug the Adam Something YT channel :) He makes funny but also serious videos about urban and transport planning, and whatever new “trains but worse” transport idea techbros came up with this month.

ha so I’m a double vegan

Ahh my bad, I haven’t read the comic again once I saw which one it was, and forgot it mentions the diet coke thing 😅

Not sure why you’re being this hostile.

CMYK is easy to work around.

But that’s the point, that you need workarounds for such a simple and (if you work with printed materials) essential feature.

So, your argument is, that you can find 1 tool where AI is better, and then everything else doesn’t matter?

That’s literally not what I said, just that I don’t think it’s necessarily the best based on what I’ve read. I agree that it being FLOSS raises its appeal quite a bit, but it’s not quite there yet to replace Illustrator for me.

Well, fine - keep paying a sh*tload of money for Adobe, and use AI, that’s totally fine by me. :-)

Yeah, Adobe’s predatory pricing is why I’m not paying for it. But sadly it’s still the only tool I found that has all the features I need.

Oh, if you’d be so kind, show me something made in AI, that Inkscape can’t do?

A CMYK file lol. But I’m not going to do work for you, you’re clearly not engaging in good faith.

that’s sad :(

I’m only using it for tracking new releases of 400+ Steam developers, which still works 🤞

(mentioning the “400+” part bc I had tried so many other change tracking tools before finding this one, but the free ones all had limits of like 25 sites)

I’m not sure about that “best” qualifier. From what I’ve read, it still doesn’t really support CMYK colour mode and its text tools are lacking compared to Adobe Illustrator.

wrong thread?

Google Keep is a very basic note-taking software. Imho its main appeal is that it seamlessly syncs between desktop browser and phone app - I use it for shopping lists.

Other note-taking apps are much more advanced in features. E.g. I use Obsidian (sadly not open source) for everything that doesn’t need spreadsheets. Logseq, Joplin and SiYuan are open source alternatives recommended elsewhere in this thread.

ooo nice, maybe I could switch away from Total Commander after like 25 years :)

and lastly, Tor Browser: anonymous web browser to evade state censorship and surveillance

qBittorrent: only for your legal torrenting needs from e.g. archive.org :>

Open Hardware Monitor: track and visualise CPU/GPU/HDD/etc. performance over time

(I’ve been using the original repo that I see hasn’t been updated in some years, this is a more active fork.)

MusicBrainz Picard: superb mp3 tagger with online metadata lookup feature and audio track fingerprinting

GEDKeeper: genealogy software with many functions

(disclaimer: I contributed to this project :) )

Workrave: screen break reminder

I recommend v1.11 because the v1.10 UI is very retro 😅

freac: free audio converter :)

Calibre: great e-book manager

FanControl: superb PC fan manager with custom temperature/fan speed curves and the options to combine sensors whatever way you like
