Sounds like it’s about equivalent to Intel’s latest GPU. Both are running about a little over a generation behind AMD and Nvidia.
Sounds like it’s more than “a little over one generation behind” if it benchmarks near an Nvidia card released 14 years ago??
I fucking hate AutoCAD (I use it professionally) but there’s nothing better and I really doubt a free alternative can top it. AutoLISP alone makes it unbeatable
If you’re talking functionality, I’ll introduce you to some:
Amost all paid audio production software is leagues better than the free alternatives. And beyond that, many VSTs don’t work under Linux.
The sad truth is that most Adobe products still beat their free alternatives in features. Those alternatives are definitely good enough for 95% of people but they aren’t better
Autodesk software. AutoCAD has some competition (for basic things) but there’s nothing for Revit. Actually a TON of construction/infrastructure software doesn’t have a better alternatives, not just Autodesk
Those were my 3 sticking points (I switched anyway)
I definitely will, I liked the last one! I just wanted to clear up what the scandal was - it wasn’t something anyone could think creators should have seen coming
Another thing even the most cynical person can easily see is extortion!
I know we’re all jaded nerds on this corner of the internet that are well aware of “if you’re not paying, etc. etc.”
Haven’t watched this video but IIRC the real scandal was that the extension would change the cookie to identify Honey as your referrer so the content creators whose referral you actually used didn’t get paid. No matter how jaded you are, you can see that as the theft it is
Hackernews is a VC-funded website for techbros who want to feel like they’re cool and smarty hackers. It has an even higher percentage of know-it-alls than reddit. MBAs who got into it for the money.
I loved firmware modding on pre-smart phones! My first eBay purchase ever (with the help of my parents) was a USB cable for the ridiculously large port on my flip phone. I blew my friends’ minds with my custom text on the front panel
Yeah and it was before I learned who owned the newspapers
Raw Story and The Daily Beast are garbage sites that make the left look stupid
I remember briefly thinking Times New Roman looked serious and professional. Around the time of my first book report
Insanely stupid take that tells me you weren’t online before Facebook
You used to visit websites. News aggregators weren’t a thing so you’d visit the different sites focusing on different things. Search engines actually worked so you’d constantly be stumbling upon passion projects by highly knowledgeable people. You’d also find geocities sites teaching you how to go Super Saiyan, it was the wild West.
Instead of reddit and Lemmy, there were hundreds of niche forums. Maybe this is just me but human connection was a LOT easier. The internet was mostly populated by tech-savvy people who were excited to be online
Memes as we know them weren’t really a thing. They existed but you’d reply with them when they were relevant. People didn’t really “post” memes and no one was making the mass-market garbage that fills the Internet today.
I could go on a tirade on the last one because I truly believe memes were a significant factor in the downfall of internet culture
People who weren’t online at the time can’t possibly imagine how truly awesome the Internet used to be.
I miss separate websites.
My YouTube recap doesn’t feel accurate but it says Mick Jenkins was my #1 artist and Publix was my most-played song. I didn’t know he existed until this summer!
The other top artists were Quadeca, Jesse Welles, Dijon, and Gordi. Kind of a weird mix. The most surprising part was NOT having Aesop Rock on there.
The other surprising part is not seeing my favorite discovery or the year: bricknasty. I’ve yet to get anyone else into them but I am enamored by their style
That sounds great. It’s like people on the internet don’t know how to start a conversation anymore. Can’t just say “man I’m struggling with my ADHD lately,” they gotta post every decade-old meme from their personality meme folder so people can reply with “haha same”
A new social media site doesn’t mean new content, it’s just a new bucket to fill up with the same shit from every other platform.
(I feel obligated to point out that PugJesus is generally an exception for my meme hatred because he includes descriptions/context for the history memes he posts and I actually get something out of it. Shout out to PJ)
Last word
I’m sorry to hear of your watson
