I'm about halfway through reading the book and this is how I find out there's a show! Feels hard to imagine this being anything more than a miniseries, but heck I'll take it.

For some, particularly businesses reliant on software that can't perform on anything but Windows (and occasionally MacOS), sure. For individuals it is much easier. Installed Linux Mint a few months ago and I set up a VM for the stuff I truly needed some form of Windows for (tried dual booting for a bit but found that inconvenient). None of these are insane lengths, unless the cutoff for that is, "anything above minimal effort."

I'm pretty new to Linux (currently on Mint) and I have yet to get Easy Effects to work. I'm certain I'm the problem, but I've tried following guides and videos, yet as soon as I try using it, my friends on Discord say my audio becomes garbled and robotic. One of these days I'll sort it out. One of these days lol

I see mention of Foundry, I upvote. My friends and I have been using it for a couple years and still find new ways to be impressed by it.

What are the rules? 🎵

Promise me you'll never follow another rule for as long as you live, shirt brother.

Not always an option, unfortunately. By "picked up" I meant if you need to save, close, and eventually someone else picks up the work where you left off. Incredibly common in collaborative settings. I may start a Photoshop file, get to a good point, but then it has to change based on the work someone else is doing. Another person has to open that file and make updates accordingly. If they couldn't find and edit the file because I told them it was done in Photopea or GIMP, that would mess things up.

Affinity is a viable alternative to Adobe, whereas Photopea and GIMP are more suitable for individual needs (although it'd be kinda cool if a practice set itself up to use those from the ground up).

And jobs to do lmao if I told someone at work that a file on a deadline had to get picked up in photopea or gimp I would get demolished.

Edit: I am actively trying to get an entire company switched to Affinity. It's not easy but possible.

I am. Paid plan equates to like $2-3 per month. Tied it into Tailscale (I think TS has official docs explaining how) and haven't given it another thought.

On mobile but look up TRASH guides. That's what I used in my setup and I'm able to watch stuff almost as soon as it downloads and I still let it seed for awhile after. Also using Unraid, Arr apps, and Jellyfin.

Building a PC this week and putting Mint on it after a lifetime of Windows. Gonna leave a little bit of partition available in case I absolutely need to dual boot, but I'm hoping anything that comes up can be resolved with Crossover, still need to run a trial for that. I was hoping SteamOS would come to desktops in time, but alas.

 

I am a registered architect. As an active contributor to one of the most damaging industries to our climate (construction & building systems), I often daydream about pivoting careers into something more productive for the planet. I'm not talking about stuff like green washing or ~LEED accreditation~. Even sustainably-focused jobs are hard to come by and usually pretty regionally specific. Architects have a broad set of skills, and it's not always clear where I can take those skills and put them to better use.

Any thoughts/insight would be appreciated as I hop into my mid-life crisis before 30.
