I’m also here:
Thanks, I’ll check out Where Winds Meet! :)
(Edit: according to their Steam page they use genAI dialogue and art, so that’s a pass :/ )
Dunno about current adobes, but don’t they also run fine via wine? Have only one single tool so far that makes a bit trouble (mediamonkey).
From the reports I see on WineHQ, they are all various levels of broken, though the last versions tested were from 2024.
I still find them annoyingly unintuitive
Haha yes, when I had to use a Mac once in uni it was like they made a point of doing everything just different enough from Windows to be annoying, like why are the window close buttons on the left?!
Thanks, that’s good to know! From what I’ve read a few months ago when I last looked into it, it only worked with a fan-made launcher that posed a ban risk and also broke every few updates.
You could vote with your wallet and just not play those specific ones.
Oh I’m not paying for them, but still one of my main daily drivers is Genshin, and I haven’t found such an enjoyable open world exploration in any other game I’ve tried. (I’m PC-only so haven’t tried Breath of the Wild.)
Regarding Adobe suite in a professional manner, I’m pretty sure they work on MacOS.
I would never touch a Mac, it’s way more of a walled garden than Windows.
Also I was talking about Adobe alternatives like Inkscape for Illustrator or Scribus for InDesign. From what I’ve read they are really not there yet. (Tried Inkscape a few times, but the UI is so unintuitive for my brain used to Adobe’s UI/workflow 😭)
Gives 6 more years for Adobe and my online games to start supporting Linux D: (or the Adobe alternatives to become more suitable for professional use)
Thank you it does show local stations, though from what I see their web journey planner is under construction :)
this does work in Glasgow, neat!
I did a test of it in Glasgow UK just now, and it didn’t offer any public transport options. (And the UI tooltips are in French.)
sadly Transportr’s European coverage is woeful according to their map :/
I went through my curator list just now; these are the largest/most active ones:
throws more heat than light
Thanks, I haven’t heard this phrase before, but it feels quite descriptive :)
Same. Steam is so inundated with AI slop that I’m now following like a dozen different curators that flag AI usage, for the cases when the developers “forget” to fill out their AI disclosure field D: (which I’ve restyled to be red and on the top of the page)
Sid Meier’s Civ 5, and I was 24 😆 (growing up, my family was piracy-only, so this was the first game I actually bought)
and was absolutely worth it :) I paid ~15 GBP for the base game + some expansions and DLC, and so far put 500+ hours into the game. I still reinstall it every few years.
Every other commenter under this seems to forget that stock assets exist and worked fine for decades without involving AI slop.
Thanks for the reframe! From what I’ve seen in Village Pump comments at the time, editors (including me) were upset bc putting LLMs into Wikipedia articles seems like an idea so obviously clashing with Wikipedia’s values and strengths, that it was a shock to see it taken as far as it got before the wider backlash. (Also put into wider context, the whole world seemed to be jumping onto the LLM bandwagon at the time, so it was dismaying to see Wikipedia do the same.)
It has to be said, they originally changed their stance due to the considerable editor pushback when they tried to introduce LLM summaries on the top of articles. So kudos to the editor community’s resistance! ✊
Thanks!
Regarding Ecosia, could it be that you deleted some related cookies accidentialy?
Not sure, I use uBlock Origin, but the site does remember my other settings, so it feels a bit shady.
not sure if this is the reason, but around its release there was some controversy (link 1, link 2) related to the studio founder’s sexist remarks and some bizarre streaming restrictions (don’t mention violence, “feminist propaganda” or covid), so some people might still reflexively downvote anything related to the game
I’m using the cracked versions released by m0nkrus, and they have worked reliably over the years.
Predictably Adobe’s apps are now full of genAI crap, but sadly(?) they still release useful new features as well, so I keep them up to date.
