  • If I am the tankie you must be the lgbtq femboy. There’s nothing wrong with it. We are here for different reasons :D.

    Stereotypes aside, aren’t you using one?

    • Image processing, (e.g.: Camera enhancement, gimp, rawtherapee are full with AIs)
    • sound processing, (noise reduction, etc…)
    • text processing
      • reasoning models for programming, math
      • LLMs for grammar checking / searching when I don’t know the keyword / researching when I’m not interested that much about the topic, but I want multiple sources / getting common knowledge I don’t know yet.
    • Recently I tried 3D asset generation. Damn it gave me a perfect character model. But it’s not for work so I’m not gonna pay for it.
    • etc…

    They are useful.



  • I had heavy problems to solve. Claude Opus could solve some. I could solve them too, but with claude it’s faster. One recent problem would take around two days if I would do it, but claude did it in half an hour.

    I’m not advertising claude, if it gives bullshit response I turn it off instantly. Like with every tool, you need to learn to use it.

    Another example: In the app I work on, there’s a huge list of city integration files. I had a loose set of specifications for a new city, and with claude I could roll out a new prototype in no time. It saved me about a month of work.

    It’s expensive and energy hungry for sure.







  • For 3D animations, Modo has linux-x86_64 binary. Blender is native also.

    I’ve never been into 2D animations.

    For compositing, The Foundry Nuke is native also. (If you’ve got the money, or you’re willing to buy it from seejeepeers)

    For video editing, most youtubers use DaVinci Resolve.

    Inkscape is slow as it’s using SVG for its backend and not as polished as an illustrator but it is feature-rich. Adwaita icons are designed in inkscape. It’s not a big sacrifice.

    I learned photoshop when It was the CS4 version. I know it’s got a lot of AI features since then. Luckily, I left it before I could get used to them, so now I can use gimp. And btw, check gimp’s new release candidate. It’s a huge step forward. Everyone could give them their adobe cc subscription fees and we could see how they compete after that.

    Why do you use affinity if you have adobe?





  • I don’t recommend GL.inet routers. I have the Marble and it is slower than my ISPs router. It has a thing called network hardware acceleration, and it breaks my home server. Services just stop working well with it. So I keep it turned off. When I reported the issue they said it is working for them and came up with a completely hypotical setup…

    With AdGuard enabled it frequently froze and I had to reboot it. For some reason even without AdGuard name resolution is noticeably slower. Doesn’t matter if I use my ISP’s DNS or not.

    Also, DynDNS doesn’t support custom names, so I installed an alternative service for mywire.org.

    Overally, this box came with drawbacks, but no doubt about it is hackable in the good way.

    I would like to try openwrt’s own router, next time.
