I've never heard this before, and it sounds gross and stupid. If you have the power to help your family then do it. Ignore the psycho who lets his parents wallow in poverty.

Although personally I'm more broke than my parents so it's not an option.

In order to answer this, I'd need to compare the efficacy of both the for-profit and the non-profit organizations. In some countries you don't get paid, and I don't know if that leads to blood shortages.

Bakeapple cheesecake is the real deal.

By "self hosting" do you mean serving apps from your own computer, where that computer is always online so you can access your own apps from the net on a client machine? Even when you're at work or out in the city?

I can't put my finger on it. I keep trying to watch it, but it always loses my interest. The plots sound amazing but there's something in the style that pushes me away.

I'm pretty sure that's just a genre of video you can find on any video site.

umm, are you suggesting that all discs are male???

As I job-hunt, every job listed over the past year has been "AI-drive [something]" and I'm really hoping that trend subsides.

KMFDM's house

I should research what would be required for that.

I'll give them credit for sticking with it so far. I even keep getting updates. But I assume they're brainstorming ways to end the one-time payment installations.

Yeah I'm not going to pay their subscription. The whole point was to avoid Adobe.

Pay three times as much for a "feature" nobody asked for.

I like this (and largely follow it), except that I occasionally need CMYK color space for printing, and GIMP makes that extreeeeeeeeemely difficult and annoying. That's why I use Affinity. I got the software for the single lifetime price and I'm hoping they let me keep it...

That's too bad since they recently purchased the excellent Affinity suite... which I originally bought for a single lifetime price, but they're switching to a subscription model. So my favorite editing suite might get ruined two ways.

This is cool, but are they really the beast we need to bring back? Where will they stay?

woe is bro

So you've tried these techniques and they didn't work? Or have you not tried them at all?

I hope some insane person has tried all these things.

I think most of us have a good idea of the benefits and drawbacks of Linux/Windows/Apple.

I have a Windows machine for media production, because Linux doesn't support all the software I need for media production. I use Linux for absolutely everything else, because it's better for literally everything else. In truth, a MacBook Pro would be better for media production but they're too expensive.
