That’s an actual risk. The massification to enshittification pipeline is real

I love that copypasta
Even for hobbyist needs the feature set is basically a decade behind.
I mean, Gimp 3 ia looking pretty good to me. Maybe it’s not fit for a workplace (even though it depends on the workplace imo) but it’s definitely more than enough for hobbyists.
Would you mind citing some example of fundamental missing features?
Not trying to be a smartass, just genuinely curious
Proton is a tool for use with the Steam client which allows games which are exclusive to Windows to run on the Linux operating system. It uses Wine to facilitate this.
Yeah, dark patterns are NOT good UX, even though unfortunately it’s present everywhere nowdays.
Steam’s UI/UX can be better, more ordered, coherent and standardized. This does not mean that it has to incorporate dark patterns.
4·1 month agoFun fact: kids learn from their parents and the environment around them.
If the kid’s trashing merchandise or attacking customers it means it regards violence to express their feelings / to get out their frustration as the norm.
And we usually learn what’s the norm inside our households.
Don’t beat your kids and don’t let other beat theirs. It’s never good for the kids.

I’ve stared from Black flag up until Odyssey, then I went back the Ezio Trilogy.
At firt the Ezio games seemed janky and unpolished, but boy was I wrong. The percieved “jankiness” was due to the fact that you have actual control over the character, which can be difficult at first but extremely rewarding later in the game(s), with tombs and catacombs that feel like actual puzzles to traverse, nothing like the “parkour on rails” of ACIV. Unity’s parkour really felt like a step in the right direction, but players complained about it being a broken and rushed game and somehow Ubi understood that they needed to turn AC into The Witcher.
As for the present time story arc I think they really nailed it with Desmond. I love games that take real world history as a base and add a fictional twists to it, and the sense of uncovering an actual, worldwide conspiracy and the origins of humankind itself was there.
I understand they’ve acknowledged the fact that people don’t play AC for the present time story arc, but there was no reason to let it die in irrelevance from ACIII onwards. Layla’s arc might be a slight step towards the right direction, but we’re still far, far away.
This is all to say that yes, I agree with you. This series had (and still has) so much potential, but it was unfortunately hijacked by corporate greed time and time again, straying further from the original concept as time goes on.
I’m currently playing valhalla and plan on tackling ACIII next, and then Mirage.
Where our golds at though? Kind strangers, this way!
Op does not seem neither belligerent nor antagonistic to me. Maybe rude in their initial statement, but they’ve been interacting with the comments in a perfectly civil way.
Most definitely not an “awful example to set” in any way.
Motherfuckers really will downvote a non-stupid question on !nostupidquestions

Haven’t personally tried it yet, but LTT made a video about it and price, quality and features seem all pretty good.
81·2 months agoHaven’t used kagi, but ecosia is another bing fronted.
It’s duckduckgo, but the profits from the ads are used to plant trees.
If you need/want something like kagi, only kagi exists at the moment. There is nothing comparable in quality and features
If you still want to throw some money at them, they have a store where you can buy some merch and plant a tree
You love to see it
