Im leaning towards two separate machines as well. I think that’s the route I’ll go in the end

I’ve moved half my toolset to free and open source alternatives. I’ve ditched Adobe which has a monopoly on the entire market. Sadly, there are no alternative BIM/CAD tools that can take on Autodesk (yet).

I was thinking this too. Might get a second desktop and set that up

Haha Ok let me send a memo to the whole global architecture community and ask them to switch to something different

Thanks. I am a freelancer but I depend on the platforms my clients work with.

Can anyone give recommendations on what to do if you have to run Autodesk products (Revit. Autocad) for work? No, I can’t swap them for open source alternatives such as FreeCAD as Im working with large international projects. Should I dual boot? Virtual machine inside Linux?

😬 You brought it up, man. People here are so combative…we all Gucci man. It was lost in translation that’s all. It wasn’t meant with malice. I just clarified with the follow up.

It’s pretty amazing and scartches a weird itch I can’t get elsewhere. But I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea

Lemmy: You’re too sensitive. Don’t take online comments too seriously. A lot gets lost in text (tone, for instance). It was meant more tongue in cheek. We’re all Kumbaya here. I took it out anyway. Cheers

I can’t believe no one has mentioned Radio Paradise. Good music. Free app on Android / iOS.

Radio Paradise

Also: SomaFM. Same as above: free, good content, not managed by the devil.

Notable mention: Kexp, The Current

Maybe but I doubt it. The user base is so small. The sophistry from the echo chambers seems to propagate itself really well. I don’t know. There’s something bizarre about the same comment being repeated day in / out. I’ve been on Lemmy for a few years and it’s like nothing has changed

These people live in memes. They don’t have a clue what’s happening in the real world imo.

I’m ootl. Why are there so many memes about stephen miller’s wife?

I don’t think this is entirely accurate. I know ultimately Kathleen called a lot of the shots and was very meddling in the production and I thitk Ryan was trying to do something original after seeing what a superficial piece of garbage TFA was. Ryan is actually a good writer / director.

Isn’t Kathleen the producer? It was directed by Ryan Johnson

My parent spidey senses are tingling. Besides the ADHD, is there anything else happening in his life? Major life change (changing school; new friends, etc)? He may not feel comfortable vocalizing yet if there is in fact something affecting him

Hey guess what? They pretty have the same minimalist ui. Way to miss the entire point I made

Also, I never mentioned Photoshop. Open any standard drawing app that was developed recently: Procreate, Infinite Paint, Krita, Fresco. Look how straightforward it is to start working. Look at the Ui. It doesn’t get in the way.

Edit: oh no the FOSS evangelists are not feeling it. I get it. I use a lot of FOSS apps for work. That doesn’t mean we have to be evangelical in our defense of FOSS. Recognize there are issues and we can work to fix them. Don’t get so defensive, Lemmy. My god.

Yes, as an artist I will choose the path of least resistance. Open any new drawing app today: Procreate, Infinite Paint, Krita, Fresco and look how clean and easy it is to get right to the point and start working. Now open GIMP and pull my eyelashes out already. The tool should not get in the way of the task. I’m with Steve Jobs on this, sorry. Computers are means to an end. For some they can be hobbies. Linux exists. Have fun.

If you think Photoshop has anywhere near the learning curve that is GIMP then I’m sorry. There is nothing I can do to convince you and this conversation is dead in the water. If something free was on par even slightly with Photoshop, then a whole industry would have shifted over to avoid the burden of costs. There’s a reason the potato shop UI hasn’t changed in 20 years.
