🚨NEW REPORT: Health insurers raked in $371 BILLION in profits since passage of the ACA, while raising family premiums to $26K a year.
More than 40% of the profit went to UnitedHealth, whose profits rose 400% as the company denies nearly 1 in 3 claims. buff.ly/3ZtqD4d

Hit me up for fabulous portraits. I'm also taking commercial work, so if you know someone with a book or game in need of an artist... 😏

@LPS Moving and extending the partition went fine. It won't solve the recording lag but hopefully it'll stop freezing 10 times a day. 😆
I do however have an inconsequential timelapse to show tomorrow.
Julien goes into details on the conception and functional design of Project Gold's shattered modeling and animations. The first article of a series.

@lps no and there is no great replacements for Photoshop possibly krita since you can add the machine learning stuff, but it will never be the equivalent you want it to be unless you put in the work. 
You’re better paying for that $13 a month service that gives you photo editing, canva or something. 
Video paid daVinci resolve is the best but at the same time it’s a nightmare to install so I recommend installing it via nix pkg manager

@lps Apparently it's doable, with some workarounds and the occasional missing feature

Can't vouch for it though, I haven't used anything Adobe since CS5.

@lps If CC allows for multiple installs, you can test in a virtual machine…
I used PS (well, camera raw really) in Wine; was a bit of a hassle to set up but worked reasonably well. Then again, Wine has improved enormously over the last few years but it'll always be an uphill battle to keep up with modern software, so YMMV.
An alternative would be to keep the old win10 license for a virtual machine that you use exclusively for Adobe®™ stuff.

With software that bore the name OpenSUSE 9.0. Crazy cool.
And the foundation stone for W2K being my last Windows and me not even installing MS products in a VM.
So this Windows 10 is an update of W2K and has a built-in split-view for the file-manager?
More video accounts to follow on the Fediverse, this time some techy ones 😃

As usual these are PeerTube accounts but you can follow and interact with them entirely within Mastodon etc.

Mastodon shouldn't be resting on its laurels though. Needs many improvements urgently:
- multiple domains per instance
- support for all #ActivityPub object types, event if minimal
- support math notation
- simpler tech stack for smaller instances (solid_queue etc)
- Better support for alternative user interfaces (eg: Whalebird which emulates Slack/Discord and Elk that emulates Twitter)
And one step back, Akkoma doesn't want to implement multiple domains per instance. Worse, a single dev closed the issue without any discussions of pros and cons, indicating that it's mostly a single-person project. 🫤
@ubuntu recently gave me the opportunity to present at #UbuntuSummit. If you want kick the creative software subscription habit 🗑️ and learn how @freehive is able using 100% #FOSS 🚀, the presentation is live! youtube.com/watch?v=OXocCVpVwU…
You'll get to see how @Blender @inkscape @GIMP and more are part of what I call the #CreativeFreedomSuite. Spread the word and go create something amazing!

@scopefilter Oh, thanks! My main advice is to persist, because it will take time to reprogram your brain. You'll get there though. @CRogers presentation hasn't been published yet, but it is eye opening. His book is called "Design Made Easy with Inkscape" amazon.com/Design-Made-Easy-In…
Reach out if you hit a roadblock. Thanks again for the kind words!
