I think they store the data about the files in a database, but the files are in a folder structure.

Doesn’t make sense to have data that could be a few gigabytes in a database, or maybe that’s just me.

I personally don’t use Photoshop but was using it as an example. You could fill in the blank with other tools like AutoCAD, MS Office, QuickBooks/Quicken, etc.

I think there are two major hurdles keeping Linux adoption back (besides the obvious installation bit). The first is that our backwards compatibility is terrible. It is easier to get old versions of Windows software to run in Wine than it is to get some old Linux software to run natively.

If something like Photoshop did finally release a Linux version, even if they only did one release to make 2% of people happy, it likely wouldn’t be able to run natively after 5 years.

The second is a good graphical toolkit. Yes, GTK and Qt exist, but neither are as simple as WinForms or SwiftUI/Aqua.

Are you red-green colorblind?

“Technically correct” is the best form of correct. Though having tried setting up Wireguard in the past, having a dead-simple solution like Tailscale might be worth trying it out, especially with the 100 device free tier

IoS - internet of shit

With the enshittification of streaming platforms, a Kodi or Jellyfin server would be a great starting point. In my case, I have both, and the Kodi machine gets the files from the Jellyfin machine through NFS.

Or Home Assistant to help keep IOT devices that tend to be more IoS. Or a Nextcloud server to try to degoogle at least a little bit.

Maybe a personal Friendica instance for your LAN so your family can get their Facebook addiction without giving their data to Meta?

I haven’t used Tailscale myself, but it seems like it’s basically just a Wireguard frontend.

Are you sure its removing those packages and not updating them?

I’d recommend finding some FOSS projects to contribute to so that you can stay sharp and also add stuff to your resume. Plenty out there that needs worked on, and not all of it can be done by people working full time at another job.

What’s your degree in?

That’s a good one, but I believe OP wants it to be personalized to their area

I mean, you could probably put a short version of your title like “How Polluted Are Our Waterways”, but you should have a tighter title that’s not a question like “Our Polluted Waterways and the Threat They Pose”.

I would say one of the few downsides Kdenlive has is the lack of the premade templates. I feel like there’s gotta be a site out there for those premade templates that us hobbyists can download and use, but hopefully they’ll just bake that in directly in the future.

The other issue I have is the effects plugins aren’t always up-to-date, so not all plugins work with the latest version.

You might have been thinking Steam gaming. Mac was at ~5% and has dropped to ~2%

Linux is great about providing that feeling of discovery. New tools, new processes, new paradigm… It’s the best way to breathe new life into an old piece of hardware.

If this is your first major step, congratulations! If you’re a regular, great job, keep it up; eventually you’ll be a grey beard with the rest of us.

Damn, that was insanely fast, quadruply so compared to Nouveau

Nothing is going to top Your Name for a long time. As a creator, it’s really hard when you create your best work ever, and then are expected to make the next one even better.

One thing that really got me that probably got lost on most International viewers is that the hook at the end ties in with the 2011 tsunami. I wonder if the Localization team will make some sort of pre-roll material to make that scene hit harder for future audiences.

Before you perform another task on that hard drive, try photorec. You might be able to get a majority of your files back if they’re important

I work in electronics manufacturing and I’m torn on this issue.

On the one hand, fuck Apple for requiring to go through so many hoops.

On the other hand, every device my company makes has an internal checksum and if one PCB is installed incorrectly, the main board throws a fit because the device checksum doesn’t match.

It sounds like Apple may do something similar for their products and it sort of makes sense: determined people try something crazy like take an older iPhone and install a newer Wireless module or replace Lightning with USB-C. Neither of those things were intended by Apple, and there’s a huge potential that it wouldn’t work.

With that said, it’s absolutely overkill for things like display or digitizer replacements, which are going to be the majority of repairs on iPhones.

Tl;Dr - fuck Apple, this is dumb, the users have the right to repair
