Yes, they are mature and stable now. But they weren’t when they were first introduced into Ubuntu, for example.

In the UK version of Hell’s Kitchen you can see this side of him. In one episode he just hung out at the beach with his whole team and it was so wholesome.
The US show is cut in a way that emphasizes his outbursts, it’s much worse.
Patrick Volkerding. It’s amazing he’s still managing his own Linux distro after all of these years. And I’m eternal grateful for him refusing to adopt systemd and pulseaudio when they were both not mature and stable enough and most other distros didn’t care.
Something like Bottles could work, but since the installer portion of recent Adobe apps is broken, there would be no way of creating a useful installer.
I hope, support for these apps will improve in the future, as wine gets better. Just a few years ago, running Photoshop was a much bigger PITA, which is why I stuck with Windows for so long.
You’re in luck, I just had this problem today and got it solved! :) Also on Fedora (38) with an Intel UHD 620. Proof:
First I got Photoshop 2020 from m0nkrus, because that’s a patched version without the online activation. I installed it with qemu on a virtualized Windows 11 to get all of the files (because the installer depends on an unimplemented mshtml function and is just a white, unuseable window in wine).
Then I prepared a custom wineprefix with all of the neccessary files:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-adobe winetricks -q allfonts fontsmooth=rgb gdiplus atmlib vcrun2008 vcrun2010 vcrun2012 vcrun2013 vcrun2022 msxml3 msxml6
I copied all of the files in the C:/Program Files/Adobe and C:/Program Files/Common/Adobe directories into the same directories in ~/.wine-adobe/drive_c.
That’s enough, you can now run Photoshop with a command like this:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-adobe wine ~/.wine-adobe/drive_c/Program\ Files/Adobe/Adobe\ Photoshop\ 2020/Photoshop.exe
or create a nice looking app shortcut with wine-create-shortcut.
Some things to note: The “new” file open dialogue doesn’t work, you have to disable it in settings. Otherwise, nothing will happen when trying to create a new file.
Adobe Illustrator 2021 also works fine, but you need to build your own variant of wine with a patched gdi32.dll. The most annoying part was getting all of the -devel.i686 packages in Fedora, which took a lot of googling around. Haven’t documented the full list while doing it, sadly.
Man, I spent 15 bucks to watch it at the movie theatre. Why is the rent option more expensive than that? Even with the popcorn and drink I stayed below that.
watchsomuch.to works pretty well for me. Their filtering options can certainly be improved, but they have most of the 4K TV series content I need.
When people run out of money to pay for a billion subscriptions, companies will have to think hard about their business model. I don’t think the current trend can last forever.
Look at the fragmentation of streaming services. Piracy is on the rise again because of it.
Look for “romcenter markdown edition 2023” and you might find stuff that’s not on Vimm’s vault, like the XBLA games. :)
Reminds me of the IBM Mechanical Wallpaper.
Add to that, any streaming content that is not available in the original language. Here in Germany, a lot of older movies are only available to stream with the terrible German dub. I’m not paying for that so I’m not paying at all.
It’s gone up in price with the Definitive Edition, guess it’s grown a lot in popularity.
This is a postapocalyptic RPG done in RPG Maker with excellent storytelling and the weirdest weapons and attack patterns I ever experienced. You can attack enemies with your own stench or even frighten them by telling them ghost stories.
I’ve felt more for the pixelated companions in this game than I’ve ever felt in a AAA game. It’s so full of humour and despair, playing through this is such an emotional rollercoaster.
I’m not ashamed to have cried

Exactly. It feels rewarding to receive karma but that dopamine rush is actually what Instagram, TikTok and all the other corporate-driven platforms out there are exploiting. We don’t need that here.
Man, the next season of Love Island is gonna be interesting…
The one time he landed his time machine in the middle of some spectators: “Don’t worry, we’re doing a low-budget science fiction series”
I still remember that to this day. It’s a great series, they let it end when it was still awesome and didn’t drag it out any longer.
A good quality version of the “VR.5” tv series from 1995. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VR.5
It’s a TV show about virtual reality and has peak 90’s aesthetic. They shot the scenes in "virtual reality"on black and white film and colorized them manually afterwards to create a very distinct and vibrant look. That must’ve been so much hard work.
Sadly, there is only a 240p VHS rip with extremely terrible quality out there. I’ve always wanted to watch the whole thing, but it’s too degraded to enjoy like this.
Very similar situation here. Around 2017/2018 I had Netflix and Prime Video. I was able to watch 95% of the content I wanted to watch and only had to download some obscure 90’s SciFi series they didn’t have.
But the industry had to fuck it up and create too many platforms. We have Netflix, Prime, Disney+, HBO, Paramount Plus, Apple TV+ and many more. I am not subscribing to your service because one or two titles might interest me. It’s way too much cost for a lot less value I had in 2018.
I even wanted to make an exception for Apple TV+ because their series are absolutely amazing. But they force you to buy an expensive Apple device to watch the content in 4K on the Safari Browser. Go fuck yourself, Apple. It’s not even a technical issue, because they play the trailers in 4K but then switch to 480p with a terrible bitrate.
Don’t go to the big media outlets and start crying that piracy is too damn high if you make it more inconvenient to watch your programs legally than just downloading an MKV file from somewhere.
Liftoff is awesome, I just couldn’t find it when searching the name on the Play Store. Opening this link worked: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liftoffapp.liftoff
Censoring in computer games. Here in Germany, a lot of games were censored aggressively when I was young, because God forbid the youth is able to play games in their original form! They will turn to the dark side when they see some red pixels! Politics got even worse when we had a school shooting incident (not that regular here) and the attacker played a video game.
A lot of games where either not available at all or we had robots, green blood or missing assets in them.
I also liked to listen to electronic music (still do), but I grew up in North-East Germany and the only radio stations here played pop, rock and old people music. Couldn’t tape techno music, was too poor to buy it (and too far away from a good store anyway), so I looked on the web and found a lot of great stuff.
I still remember the first online music stores, with horrible DRM and 128kbps WMA files…it was not a good time.
For a while I had Netflix and Spotify, almost didn’t pirate anything anymore. Then Spotify started draining my phone’s battery, they didn’t shuffle properly anymore and I got recommended songs that were definitely sponsored (fuck you, A State of Trance). Netflix lost a lot of content and we got many more streaming services in return. So here we are again.
