Legacy building is mostly for rich and powerful who came out of age, like in the mid to end of their life’s arc. We may dislike it, but even the most despised billionaires are probably planning something not for the community but for their close circle at least, or even their own commemoration, as they feel the death is coming. Be it a continuation of their business empire or an epic tomb like pyramids, there’s some though to that.
Musk has never left his college years, always high af, always in the moment although he is pushing well over 50. He is closong that question to himself by making many children, but I’m convinced he never stopped and reflected on what would be there or with them after he dies. He’s feeling overpowered, nearly immortal, and I feel like his death would be a sudden striking event that’d catch him completely unprepared.

On the other hand, it could be an AI slop because this guy is one of many comic artists LLM got trained to copy.

Why take sides if both are shit. Apple with their stupidly controlled walled garden VS Epic thinking they can buy their way into infinite reach everywhere. I’m rather pleased they didn’t agree with each other, because their cooperation seems even worse than them acting as separate entities.

Doom died with Ethernal. Dark Ages is just more of that decline.

As you can’t ditch it for alternatives, I suggest:
- KVM, kernel-based VM for better performance. See this vid about setting it up: youtu.be/BgZHbCDFODk Licenses (and cr=cks) should work, judging by the Adobe forums, but you’d have an overhead with Windows running, so you’d greatly win by stripping everything off from it, up to disabling system services or even their Explorer DE (like some gamers did with Win Aero in W7 times, killing it while the game was running).
- Wine (Proton) directly or via Bottles\Lutris\Steam increased it’s emulation capabilities and performance in the previous years. It works for highly demanding games, talks OK with my various discrete v-cards, skips the Win10 overhead, shows CC apps not unlike other programs, but it can cause random bugs, apps not communicating right to each other, and activating it may be not as straightforward. Before starting to rely on that, it’s better to test your exact worklfow, tools you use, etc.
You’d be probably drown in a question of what Linux distro to choose, considering there’s stuff like AV Linux or Pop_OS being recomended for media design. But you’d easily hop from one to another as you go, so it’s better to install something as simple as Mint first, and try Adobe workarounds there before moving next.
If you have specific hardware, I’d say that Wacom-like graphic tablets work like they should (tried several pieces, adapted some touchscreen devices, nearly out-of-the-box on modern Linux), but for something else, like controllers that need to talk to your programms in some special way, you’d better google their compatibility or try it yourself. Making a passthru of inputs to VM or taking it’s inputs by Wine wouldn’t usually be a problem, problems start when this piece needs a specific Win\Mac-only driver, and they can, especially if they are old, have a temper of a feral ghoul. I know that there are a lot of linuxoids creating in different kinds of media, so I’m pretty sure there are some answers on the web, at least for the same manufacturer, series or kind of hardware.

Awful tanky controls (understandable) didn’t stop me from getting 100% genitals shots in some of it’s missions. Local deathmatch was kinda better because both of you struggled with them. 7\10 for me as a kid, but if I’d play it now as it was back then, I’d quickly drop it in favor of something with a third person perspective. It wasn’t just there yet, and devs did the best they could.
- Comment on NO TO AI 2 weeks ago:
It depends, that’s why I said it requires reruns with some slight modifications. When I was looking for a FOSS or at least Linux-friendly software for some live video visuals manipulation, VJ and everything with ‘video’ triggered a wave of slop, but ‘projecting software’ lead me to a rabit hole of actual list of choices, albeit most of them were paid, proprietary and Windows only.
It’s counter to my previous expirience of including certain words to narrow the search: now I watch for what keywords bring most AI articles and drop\change them.
- Comment on NO TO AI 2 weeks ago:
Some search queues return me pages of word-to-word copypastes of one ‘original’ AI gen article. On top of existing power-googling, you need not to include words that are particularly popular in slop. It brought a need to rewrite a queue a couple of times before it gets to the point.
They learnt on the worst examples of SEO, and then intertwined with it.

an edgelord’s gonna say: hurr durr nothing is perfect stop fooling yourself
a mature person, instead, would cheer you on finding your own perfection and take it as a good recomendation to try it themselves
- Comment on Anon blames millennials 3 weeks ago:
It’s far worse than pretty much any modern ARPG, not because the technology has improved but because people have learned from Diablo II’s mistakes.
I was ready to argue you at the start of the sentence and then went completely agreeing with you. New games aren’t better because they are new, but they have a potential to become better by learning about what worked good or bad in previous games. And it doesn’t make classics look bad now, like, we don’t need to fix Chess for how wild the horsey is in it, but coming to any old game requires setting oneself into the context of when it was launched, and therefore we need to see any new game through the lense of past experinces and how they learnt on mistakes of the past instead of repeating them.

Like many liberal people in my country with Pooh-teen, no one believed it’s even possible to degrade that quickly, and many still believe it’s not really happening and can be undone in a couple of swift changes.

Their work with the games’ projected GUI was properly futuristic and fitting, and it worked well on both consoles and M&B, and in DS mobile side-game too, not to say how gfx still look great all these years after.
