It uses docker or podman to create a windows container and run windows programs, that Wine or Proton can't run. The experience may not be snappy, as there is no GPU passthrough support yet, but it sure is seamless. I once tried Photoshop and it ran great.

Are there any art programs designed specifically for mouse users?

Jump

Most are mouse first programs. Developers know that a majority do not own a pen tablet or something similar. There's a reason why brushes in programs have smoothing, so that you can get nice curves even with a mouse.

Moreover, I would call GIMP's experience with pen tablet relatively worse than using a mouse.

The reason why pen tablets are better in most cases is that you can use real drawing skills within those programs, like pressure and tilt, which cannot be achieved by a mouse.

Would you recommend this privacy tool?

Jump

nutbutter @discuss.tchncs.de 1mo ago

I looks promising, but I would not recommend it to anyone.

The problem with windows is that moat privacy options would get reverted with every new update, and these scripts would need constant updates.

It is not doing much for Linux, as most telemetry is opt-in, rarher than being opt-out. And instead of configuring programs people can just use alternates like VScodium instead of VScode, etc. Plus, for other things Linux users already know how to do those things.

For macOS, it looks fine, as there isn't much already that you can do. Most of the things these scripts provide can be done with a GUI, and I would rather trust my own eyes with GUI options rather than some outdated online script from GitHub.

When I looked at their GitHub, it is almost a year old. Updates on any OS would have broken most of these.

For windows a good option is Chtis Titus's winutil.

There's a program called Open Snitch, which acts like a firewall, and you can manage each and every connection made to an IP or domain by every app on the OS. This can help block telemetry, which windows and macos would not let you disable. But I would recommend this to power users only.

WordPress have added an 'Improve with AI' option to their 'new post' sidebar

Almost every builder like Elementor and Divi have been pushing AI for a while, now. I hated it at my previous job. And now WordPress itself too?

Ignoring the internet bill itself, how many paid online services do you have?

One VPS on Hetzner. Storage Share (managed Nextcloud), again on Hetzner. Sometimes Mullvad VPN if I need it for a month, otherwise IVPN if needed for a week. I host my own media like films, shows, music using Jellyfin and photos using Immich. I pay for email, I use mailbox.org. I own a lot of domains. That's it, I think.
