I’m also here:
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.
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.
In case you find a reader’s perspective useful: Whenever I see someone using AI images, I just close the article, as it feels very likely they used AI for the text too, and I’m not interested in consuming slop in any form.
I’m doing my bit in the ~17 m2 garden I have 😅 Most of it is left to do its thing with some native wildflower seeds added when I moved in :)
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!
“just improve our culture and our food supply”
…as if it was that easy 😅 Especially with the interwoven net of geographical factors, industrial lobbying and tradition/consumer taste.
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.
one of the main reasons why I hate cooking :P
so pretty! amazing to see how thin is the atmosphere proportionally (and the two auroras! 🤩)
