I enjoyed it more than Krita. I find the UI more intuitive and closer to Photoshop, which was my #1 (at least for CS6). Photoshop remains the only piece of software that doesn’t have a reasonable subsitiute or Linux client.

I was pretty hyped for it, too, but never got mine after backing it. :'( Expensive lesson learned.

It’s a bit of a pain in the butt to have to go through checkout for every single one of these and put in the codes, but it’s a decent deal at least. I’ll try and check out how well these actually work when I’m done.

If each job takes 30 minutes to apply to, that’s 50 hours per week, assuming you don’t stop to eat or rest. I think my average job application takes a little longer unless I fill it with bullshit answers.

That’s assuming you’re just filling applications. It doesn’t include finding them. I think in the time I was unemployed I passed over a few hundred absolutely reprehensible and morally objectionable positions.

Why so much ghosting? My speculation is perverse incentives of the modern world. Recruiters and HR need to justify their ongoing existence so they open positions that don’t need to get filled so they can spend time filtering candidates. Meanwhile, candidates need to turn to auto filling jobs because and bulk applying because there are so many of these ghost jobs that recruiters who do need people can’t get matched up. This turns into a race to the bottom of automation and counter automation where everyone loses.

I’ve been using Resolve on Ubuntu and after a bit of a bumpy start it’s working just fine.

FreeCAD got a 1.0 release late last year. I need to try it again. I might try one of the browser based CADs, but the idea grosses me out.

The one substitute I’ve yet to find is for Photoshop, so I need to run that through a VM. It annoys me that nothing compares. I respect Gimp but the UX is overtly terrible. Krita has similar issues for photo editing but is slightly better. Affinity Photo doesn’t run on Linux.

I might have felt sympathy, but I’m too busy caring for people that he himself hurt. They deserve my attention more.

You don’t run over a crowd of people, crash your car, and then get to lament that there are people in front of you at the emergency room.
