  • I mean spaghetti code is a part of learning a new tool, my first Unity projects I did back in highschool have some really bad spaghetti code. I’ve since learned from then and found better ways to organize things to avoid that. But yeah if you’re just letting AI write your spaghetti you’re not gonna understand why it’s bad and that prevents learning what you can do better next time.





  • I mean it’s not just file format problems as well. It’s also the fact that generally you’ll need a professional license for whatever software you’re using since you’re not using it for personal use and it’s probably cheaper and easier to buy a ton of licenses from one company then splitting it between different companies based on what people want. There’s also the fact that especially for bigger companies they’ll have custom tools and templates already made that work in that software. Some of that is file format for things like templates but any custom scripts or tools would probably have to be rewritten to support other types of creative tools. Plus at the end of the day it’s just easier if all of your employees are using the same tools so they can collaborate easier and ask for help on things easier.


  • I wouldn’t be surprised if at this point with the prices they charge, most of Adobe’s users are either working somewhere that has it, or are students who want to work professionally with it, or are people in between jobs who need to keep up skills in it for when they can go back to work. Most anyone I talk to who isn’t doing things professionally and doesn’t plan to go professional will use something like Gimp instead of Photoshop if cost is an issue.

    Outside of this though there’s also just the fact that it being the industry standard does tend to cause non-professionals to use it too. Whether it be because they view it as better then the alternatives, or they want to get experience in case they ever want to use it professionally, or they just haven’t heard of anything else and the tutorials they were able to find for what they wanted to do used Adobe products.

    Either way though I bet that the majority of the money Adobe makes is from companies buying tons of pro licenses rather than from individual people using it.





  • I think doing all of those things is good but none of them really constitutes the people actually fighting back.

    The first point focuses more on people in government using the amount of power they can to oppose this stuff which is good but isn’t really the people fighting back against this.

    The massive amounts of protests aren’t going to do anything by themselves as Trump can continue to ignore them and keep blazing ahead as he’s already doing so. Especially considering the major force behind this, 50501, is having some pretty major internal problems right now the last time I looked that will probably splinter and hamper their ability to keep doing events.

    In terms of violence I do generally support non-violent action, I just think it needs to be directed in ways that actually accomplish something rather then just allowing people to feel like they did something by going out to a protest for a couple hours. We need people to join organizations and actually start organizing and building community with people. That way people can begin to work towards creating whatever protections they can at the local level whether that be through local legislation or through organizing groups to protect people in the community directly from attacks. Protests can work towards this but we seriously need to hammer it into people that just showing up to a protest isn’t enough by itself and we need more protests that aren’t just nebulously targeted at Trump but have specific goals and demands.




  • But what reason would they have to go after you on foreign soil? Unless you’re like actively causing problems for China they’re not gonna spend the effort to go after you for saying “China bad” on one of their phones. That only matters if you’re in China at which point it’s silencing internal discontent. The much bigger likelihood is the American government seeing you, through data Google gathers, organize against US support of Israel or any other position they start abducting people for and grabbing you off the street for it.





  • That’s why you need it in combination with public transit. Even if it’s 90-100 degrees I can go for a bike ride for at least 10 minutes as long as I can keep moving and keep the air blowing on me. And I’m not even really in good shape. So as long as you can bike to a bus or train stop in a fairly short time, then hop on that where there’s air conditioning, then ride for a while, and eventually take another short bike ride to your work, then it should be fine. Of course during heat waves having a car as back up is definitely good or just to use during the hotter months also works and would go a long way to reducing green house gas emissions from either driving an ICE car or from the energy you use for your electric car.
