I love little mistakes like that

I didn’t even catch that the first time. But what should we expect from garbage software?

Oh right! I forgot about that project. I tested it out when I was first released and I liked it. I just haven’t bothered with it in many years as there was nothing Windows only that I needed (outside of games, and Proton handles that).

Back in the day I would have wanted Photoshop, but everything I need can be done with GIMP, Krita, or Photopea. And I used Kdenlive or DaVinci Resolve for video editing.

For example I doubt Adobe will support any bugs I get using Lightroom with that tool, but I could probably deal with it.

You should have near native performance minus GPU acceleration. But even then there are solutions.

VirtGL is a project I’ve been keeping my eye on. It’s usable now but only in certain configs.

I don’t think you understand how exploits work. We’re not talking about “running JS in an image viewer”.

that requires the given parser (the web browser, the image lib, etc) to arbitrarily run code in the first place

At the most base level, every image is data, and any data can theoretically be code. The image’s data has to be parsed (like you said) and the parser can be exploited to trigger code execution.

A well created malicious exploit will look like an image (or any other file) to a user, but can execute arbitrary code.

That’s why I thought maybe you were just making a joke.

Right, so you can’t show me that stealth edit then? Either you’re delusional or lying.

of course I mean acrobat. Please do list an alternative (that works on linux) that has Adobe Sign or something like that.

Well, Adobe Sign is a cloud based offering, which is distinct from Acrobat itself. And it can only work as a cloud offering because they need to ensure audit trails for compliance reasons. In that regard there’s DocuSign which is also cloud based. But as for Acrobat, there’s Xodo, OnlyOffice, and LibreOffice.

are you just reading off wikipedia? Drools was created by Red Hat

No I wasn’t, but I wasn’t aware that Red Hat developed it.

Excel is the only one that works properly. I’m a drools expert. I’ve been working in drools for 15+ years. There are issues with using drools with anything other than excel. Of course you can use CSV but you lose a lot of functionality in the process. I’m telling you this as someone that has tried to get around these things and use alternatives for years.

Ok, fair. I have limited experience with it, but in the time that I did work with it, it seemed fine.

smh. jboss is not the same thing as drools.

You’re right, I was referring to JBoss BRMS. It’s been a long time since I’ve touched it, over 10 years ago.

Maybe you didn’t come across the bugs I have

Clearly not, because as I mentioned, the project I was working on that used it switched to a different system. And no, I don’t remember which.

Some software is absolutely necessary for businesses and there is no other alternative. Linux radicals seem to think that there’s always a way around it. But there isn’t.

And that is fair. I always tell people to use the best tool for the job, and sometimes the best tool is the one they know how to use best. So if it’s Windows, then so be it.

I think it’s more that enterprises want support and they want to trust other companies. You do not get that with linux.

Sure you do. There are many companies with commercial offerings that support Linux.

give me an alternative to Adobe Sign that works on linux.

You can actually use the web version of Adobe Sign from any OS. I know that’s not what you were asking, but it’s still a workable solution.

I’m not sure why you’re bringing up vfx houses. Adobe doesn’t have any vfx software. Their major products are Acrobat, Photoshop, Premiere, and Illustrator.

And After Effects.

https://www.adobe.com/ca/products/aftereffects/vfx-visual-effects.html

They literally call it VFX software. And that is what it is. And Photoshop, Premiere, and Illustrator all fall into the VFX category because you would utilize all of them in a VFX workflow.

Anyways, I brought it up because that’s generally what people refer to when they mention Adobe when talking about Linux compatibility.

I’m going to look at RAWTherapee though and see how it does.

I know someone that does professional photography and uses Linux. They say they love RAWTherapee.

Not a fan of Snaps, though.

I’m the same and decided to give Tuxedo Linux a try. So far I really like it.

There’s also freedom of contract, freedom to decide when services you pay for are no longer wanted.

Absolutely.

What I don’t understand is that people are taking what I said as “Disney shouldn’t have been allowed to fire her”. Which was never my argument.

I guess my entire argument can be summed up as believing everyone deserves second chances. That’s it. To me, at the time, it seemed like Disney gave her the boot for saying one off-colour remark. I wasn’t aware she was saying tons of crazy stuff.

Then you dont disagree with what she said

I said “I don’t agree with what she said”.

Freedom of speech makes hate speech okay, really???

Also never said that. But if anyone who expresses hateful things are attacked, then the ideas will always live in the shadows. And when the right environment comes (like in the US right now) then those ideas from the shadows will come out.

you arent free from consequences of said speech.

I never said people shouldn’t be free of consequences. I said I didn’t think she should get fired for what I (originally) thought was effectively an edgy comment. I had no idea she was posting tons of crazy stuff.

Why are you defending far right nonsense anyway?

When did I defend far right nonsense? Please, find a single post of mine where I did. Because saying I don’t think singing should be fired for saying something is worlds different than defending what they said. Frankly, she’s an idiot for the things she said. I don’t agree with any of them. And I have never once defended her.

you havent called her out yet

I said in my original comment that I disagree with what she said. And in other comments I have outright said that Gina said really stupid things. That’s a nice way of saying it.

and are actively defending her.

You need glasses or reading lessons, because I haven’t defended her once.

So you are either lying or full of shit.

And this just about sums up the attitudes here. Quite literally a mob saying “if you’re not with us and denouncing the person we’re after, then you’re against us too”.

In your edit you stealth removed the section where you said you thought she was denied freedom of speech.

Show me the “stealth” edit. I did not remove anything from my original comment, I only added.

Freedom of speech requires that the government can’t stop you and the government can’t make laws that stop you.

I literally said “freedom of speech the concept, not the law”. You’re talking about the law, which involves the government. The concept of free speech is the idea of being able to voice your thoughts without being attacked or silenced.

The reason it’s important is that if people who voice anti-mainstream thoughts are attacked, then people with similar thoughts who see that will learn to keep their thoughts to themselves. Then they’ll seek out other like-minded people. And it’s clear where that eventually leads.

If instead people with those different ideas (whether it’s harmful or not) are not afraid to talk about it, then other people can help them see why their ideas are not ok. And that can happen early enough that those ideas don’t become a worldview.

I’ve seen people asking the question “have all these Trump supporters always existed?” And I think the answer is yes, because of what I just outlined.

I have no issue with if you or anyone else vehemently disagreed with me. The point of discourse is to discuss different and opposing ideas. What I don’t like is being attacked and belittled for what amounts to a misunderstanding.

Except there’s nothing for me to “learn” here, aside from the fact that everyone’s been talking about something different than me.

I was only aware of one “edgy” tweet by Gina, and thought she was fired for that. And there was only one person here who pointed out that Gina said a ton of stuff.

Instead you, and a bunch of others, just outright assumed I was defending all that stuff (which I plainly said I wasn’t).

If you’re a noob, what made you go with Debian in the first place?

I want to be clear, there’s nothing wrong with that, just not the usual path for a new Linux user.

Games were once created by gamers

This is the biggest issue. I tend to focus on Indie games lately. There’s the odd bigger game that I’ll pay for, but they are few and far between.

I don’t think you understand. The year 1940 owns that photo. OP simply asked 1940 if they could post the picture on Lemmy.

Insignificant education

You’d be wrong about me.

At some point they or their family got the idea that freedom of speech meant that you can say anything you want anytime and there would never be repercussions for any of it

Also wrong.

Are people’s brains being literally cooked?

I can’t tell if you’re being serious or just making a joke.

I wonder what he uses now that macs aren’t x86 anymore.

He’s using an old Intel laptop right now.
