If you’re cool with Invidious you can use instances via the Yattee app. (Not sure if it’s available in every territory though.)
Attempting to be creative at various things at various times, for example: #Filmmaking, #CreativeWriting, #GraphicDesign, etc.
Let’s make a better world together! (In a neato fun awesome way that is. Not in a Weyland-Yutani way.)

“It’s tempting to say we’re stepping into a new world where all forms of media cannot be trusted,”…
Yes, we are and it’s shit for the human mind to have to constantly do a double take on everything to make sure it’s actually real.
“but in fact, we’re being given further proof of what was always the case: Recorded media has no intrinsic truthfulness, and we’ve always judged the credibility of information from the reputation of the messenger.”
Sure subjectivity, biases, and other factors skew things, that’s a thing. But I’m sorry, “Any information humanity has ever preserved in any format is worthless.”, is quite the fucking claim.
Been using Bear Blog for a few years now and it’s been very cool as a small static blog platform.
No excess menus, no ad junk. An enjoyable experience all around.
The ability to filter comments actively as you mark them off as completed is magnificent.
You mark a comment, it hides itself. Neat and tidy, fantastic.
Why doesn’t Adobe do this, you ask? Who the fuck knows. Especially since you used to be able to in Acrobat.
Why? Were people complaining it was too helpful?
Adobe sucks but InDesign is still pretty much the standard; it begrudgingly does a pretty good job.
Affinity Publisher is coming along nicely though. And yeah Scribus is not too bad either.
Word being a word processor also sucks at document layout. Most software that isn’t made for laying out documents suck at it, but people all try. My god do they try…
Excel is okay as long as it stays in its lane.
It is not okay if you’ve ever worked in a printshop or do graphic design and people send in newsletters or brochures or some shit done within Excel.
Excel is many things; it is not fit to layout documents. Blegh.
I don’t know what’s sadder the giant Safeway sandwiches going from $9.99 to $13.99 or my mortgage about to go up like 200 goddamn dollars…
But where else do I get my malt vinegar fix?
Interesting. Will give it a look. Thanks!
Yeah. Surely they’ll listen, one of these years… 🤪 Might be a while yet now that they’ve got their fancy new “AI” toys to play with.
Always looking for an alternative…
Beans… I was afraid of that, had hoped my search skills were just letting me down. Thanks though!
Yeah. The bad old days when there were two trigger paddles but instead of two more easily accessible buttons above those… Let’s just jam them below or above all other buttons on the right side. Depending on the layout I often found it easier to just remove my entire left hand from the controller and press them; just friggen ideal.
Overload indeed. Cripes!
That FPS controller is pretty badass though. It’s got a sort of Spirit Halloween quality to it.
Bah! Most people have never even seen a horse. I never would have, had we not been dragged to see the pervert horse ballet when it came to town.
Mmm. All cheese and vaguely seafood flavoured mini-samosas.
I think it’s an ongoing thing with Google blocking Invidious and them then finding away around Google back and forth. Probably depends on the instance and how much hassle whoever runs it wants to deal with.
Lately I’ve found that, https://inv.nadeko.net/, works decently.
Again, kind of fiddly if you’re looking for a pick up and play option but… ¯_(ツ)_/¯
