There is no unity between "Adobe's" product line because Adobe doesn't make products. Like Autodesk, they buy competitors then fire all the people that made said product. They don't share work flows or tool patterns because they are all made by completely different people.
I learned Photoshop on PS2. Not Creative Suite 2, Photoshop 2 from 1991. I still use an ancient pirated copy of CS5. I've been trying to transition over to Krita, it has some great tools, but holy shit I hate the way they do layers. Maybe I'm just old as fuck.
I really wish there was a free vector suite that was as good as AutoCAD. I despise Illustrator. I can use it, I'm good at it, but only because I had to be. AutoCAD is hands down so much better at vectors than Illustrator. AutoCAD is an Autodesk product though and there are no human words that can adequately describe how much I hate Autodesk.
Same shit different decade. USA PATRIOT Act covered 2001 until now. Reagan bullshit before that. McCarthyism before that. And on and on. US has always shit on leftists even though leftists are, historically, the only thing that actually keeps this shit pile functioning.
We're right on track for hitting another Great Depression almost exactly a hundred years to the date. We're in the Guilded Age again right now; a thin veneer of gold over the most cheaply made solid core of pocked and porous cast-lead. History doesn't even rhyme. We just do the same exact stupid shit over and over and over.
We'll weather this. The leftists will come to the rescue again, undo the fascism again, put us back where we were (not where we should be; two steps back, two point one steps forward) again, then we'll slowly forget again. In another hundred years everyone who could remember will be dead and we'll do this exact same stupid shit again.
The problem is capital. That's why we're stuck in this loop. We don't see any extra-terrestrial civilizations because they all get trapped in the same Great Filter. Nothing so lofty as utter self-destruction. Reaching out to the greater universe is a long distance phone call. Ma-Bell needs that scratch. Pay up. We need a PowerPoint explaining why contacting distant alien civilizations directly benefits the shareholders. The Great Filter is capitalism. Not one single species has ever overcome it. If we were capable of learning anything we would make sure to be the first, but instead of letting scientists and engineers and dreamers control things we let rich tech-bros make all the calls.
You see someone stealing baby formula? No you fucking didn't.
You see someone stealing diapers? No you fucking didn't.
You see someone stealing food? No you fucking didn't.
You see someone that you think looks like the guy that may or may not have assassinated a US healthcare parasite? No you fucking didn't.
I know you think you want that bounty. I know the fed says they will definitely pay you. They won't. They NEVER pay those bounties. EVER. There is always a loophole they can weasel out of it with. If it's the most horrible monster in the world and you are phoning it in because fuck that guy: good, more power to you. If it's somebody that you actually kinda support on the DL, but you're phoning it in because the fed said they would pay you $250,000: shut the fuck up. Shut your fucking mouth. The fed will pay you exactly $0. You will never see a single thin-ass dime. You will however be a fucking SNITCH forever.
"Well I just think killing people is wrong." Tell that to all the people Brian Thompson killed to make the stock price go up a quarter of a quarter of a percent. I should point out that the ghouls he worked with had his replacement in place and operating before his body even had a chance to get cold. Like it never even happened. They gave a fuck about him for all of about five seconds, then they started realizing that they are also not untouchable and beefed up their own security (at your expense). After that they gave a fuck about the bottom line. Then they gave a shit about media spin so they could paint universal healthcare as a bad thing. At no point did they give a single shit about you or your health concerns.
I can't fault them for that. They're little desert predators (also dessert predators.) North Amerikkkan human habitation is too cold for them, so they need your heat. Works out in my favor most of the year, summer though... Ugh. And what can you do anyway? Tell your little buddies that "naw dawg, sorry, too much heat." No you just deal with it and wake up sweaty because you love your little guys (even though one of them poops on the floor in front of the litter boxes, but you still love him even though he's a dumb boy.)
I had a coworker from an old job that had a giant litter of kittens. My spouse said "You can pick one." She brought the last three boys that hadn't been adopted. Guess how many cats I have now. Yeah... it's three. They're brothers! I can't split them up! Two stinky mackerel tabbies, and one stinky classic tabby. The most basic cats that exist. I love my cat pile (except in the summer.)
No. You're just looking at cats differently. Cats are all unique. I'm glad you can now see the differences between them. They are my favorite little creatures in the whole world.
I got this one in the bag. We all know, objectively that my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they're like "it's better than yours." You're damn right. It's better than yours. I could teach you, but I'd have to charge.
(Not that I would, because I'm morally opposed to that, since that would be exploitative. Not to be overly academic about it.)
There very much can be. It depends on the situation. This is what courts are for. This is in the structural engineering field. Architects design a pretty building and lay out the interior. Structural engineers tell them if and how it's possible. If the the SE is shown to be horribly negligent, and their negligence results in death and/or bodily injury then yeah, criminal charges are absolutely on the table.
Edit: In my experience, structural engineers are the most conservative (and I don't mean that politically.) They do not take any risks, at all. Understandably. They get big mad at me when my roof-mounted gear goes 1,000 pounds over what they expected. They've got a 30% safety factor, and that extra weight chews into that safety factor. For SEs, that's not a "safety factor." That's the minimum design profile. I got much respect for SEs. They don't fuck around because they know people's lives are at stake.
Yes. Yes there are. They don't last long though. Architects and engineers are required to be certified. When they publish construction documents, they have to put their seal on those documents. Their seal includes their full name and license number. So yes, you can "vibe code" architecture and engineering, but at the end of the day you have to put your name on it. Sealing a document means you open yourself up to liability. You have, as a certified and licensed architect/engineer, assured that those documents are correct to the best of your knowledge and ability. Any architect or engineer worth their salt will never "vibe code" documents because it is very easy to get sued already even when you do the work yourself and dot all your is and cross all your ts. The client isn't going to sue Sam Altman because ChatGPT hallucinated. They're going to sue you, the person that sealed that document.
So yes, they exist, but they don't exist for long. They are going to get sued and they are going to have their license revoked.
They should fear prosecution. It's unfortunate that their no-show "boss" won't face the same. Who am I kidding though? A convicted felon and pedophile is the president. Nothing will happen to them.
"Found this in my son's room. What is it? Is he on drugs?"
Oooof. Sorry bud. You wish it was drugs. No, your son is into Warhammer. Drugs would be a lot cheaper.
