I envy people that can sleep like that. According to my watch, I managed just shy of a combined 90mins of sleep on a 16h flight and I was trying to sleep for most of it. This after I knew I’d struggle so sleep starved myself to four hours of sleep the night before 🫤

Meanwhile my friend successfully opted to nap in the car while I did a quick grocery shop…

If I’m not lateral, it ain’t happening. I’m open to any tips, but I’ve probably tried them all besides dosing.

I know where you’re coming from. I started in Corel, then into Macromedia which would later be absorbed into Adobe.

Modern day Illustrator still doesn’t follow the same governance of usability the rest did. Vectoring is just a standard tool in the belt. But the program it’s done in should expectedly have the same behaviours as the companioninh programs.

For example, vectoring in all other modern Adobe software has different keybinds, methods and behaviours to Illustrator. Things as simple as pathing in PS, AE, and ID is fine differently to Illustrator. Same shit, but different menus, windows, even cursor behaviours.

It’s like all the software that supports driving is left-hand drive. But the one that does it best is inexplicably left-hand drive and designed by a different manufacturer entirely.

I’ve always understood it as changing its legacy would disrupt the Illustrator base so hard that they just keep it MS Wordy. An application that functions as a rogue. But also why Illustrator is slowly falling out as vector artistry continues to be more irrelevant. Kind of like Dreamweaver’s early end days, but it’s still got plenty of legs left for a while.

I’ve recently had to use Word heavily. After all these years, I still don’t understand it.

It’s like Adobe Illustrator to the rest of the Adobe suite. It just does everything it’s own way with zero familiarity to Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere, AfterEffects, Lightroom, etc. All the way down to the interface and menus being it’s own thing.

But say that to someone that knows Word (or Illustrator) well and they look at you like you’re an idiot.

“Yeah, you have to sacrifice a goat and hit this exclusive key combo, obviously.”

I swear I’m not an idiot. I just haven’t been in the abusive relationship long enough to try make it work.

I wish meme’s like this included a little footnote of sources. It’d ensure those that need to see it aren’t so dismissive.

Wow. Just in time.

It’s great for logs and learning the basics, sure, but I find it quickly ends up off the rails.

If a door came off its hinge, ChatGPT will eventually have you build an entire house around it; a house that breaks every building code imaginable, no less.

It’s best you do the steering by double checking it’s claims—usually this points you to a Reddit post where it clearly got the info from—and searching through Wikis and boards yourself. In those cases Linux users may sound like they’re speaking another language, and then ChatGPT can help break their solution down for you and implement it.

If people were to use LLMs for things they’re already experts in, they would realise how frequently and drastically wrong LLMs are. It’s honestly scary knowing it’s out there wreaking havoc on important things and people using them don’t realise.

But I’ve not really used Lemmy for tech support.

I would sooner ask a rabid squirrel for relaxing holiday ideas.

I know English words are being used for the most part, but I make little sense of what they’re saying.

Ugh. Disgusting.

Give me a single structure on a plot of land, 10ft from my neighbours walls, and a lawn to maintain, any day I live for the additional costs on the place I never spend the best hours of my day in. Worth every gallon of commute fuel. My brain is so aerodynamic.

I am starting to see individuals as how dependent they are on society.

The good news is that I don’t think we need to worry about a “,World War”. The bad news is that when WW3 inevitably happens, it’ll be the worst waste of lives yet.

I don’t know where I was going with that, but that’s where we’re going.

More than that. Planes are just fancy flying cattle trucks. A lot of the time I’m in one it’s so I can get to a destination I’ll be hiking for several days lol. I’m all for Team Pilgrimage.

I 100% RDR and killing cougars with a knife still haunts me. It’s exactly as it sounds. Go do melee combat with a gigantic pissed off cat that almost always comes in pairs, sometimes a trio.

The main quest was terrible. Should never center the plot on the player when there’s custom creation and open world. It’s forcing a backstory or behaviour onto the player even if they don’t want it.

I played a big Michael Clarke Duncan brute rolling melee as Idiot Savant. The intro and main quest was entirely incompatible with character, full of things they wouldn’t have done, would do, or should do.

“When I grow up, I want to be a stereotype!”

And Fallout 4 was kind of mediocre.

They have poop supervisors?

And before anyone complains about “Not everyone can just get a job” bullshit, yes you can. You’re literally employed right now. You’re in the best position you can be if looking for work. Even if it takes a year, you’ll be out of there in a year as opposed to not.

I thought this wasn’t a legal requirement of US carriers, sharing their towers for emergencies. Maybe it’s a state thing.

My head says stuff in other languages all the time because a word’s easier or funner to say.

I’ve learned anything involving animals doing unusual things through night vision video or image is AI slop, aimed at a Facebook trend surging in 2024-2025, possibly still going.

Usually it’s something stupid like kangaroos or rabbits on a trampoline, a racoon riding on a dog’s back, or a bear and cat snuggling.
