Msg is so good. Try it in your stock. Its like different salt. So good.
This whole thing is cancer… What’s wrong with fluoride?
He said fluoridation was too important to be left to the generals. When he said that, 50 years ago, he might have been right. But today, fluoridation is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
Nor is there anything wrong with MSG or prozac
Yeah, I think that one’s just FUD, because fluoride is added to the water by the US government.

People who believe MSG is any more terrible for you than table salt understand jack shit about health lol
Watch out for those chemtrails!
Nothing wrong with MSG. It’s the building block of the savory taste the same way sodium chloride is the building block of the salty taste.
The whole thing about MSG sensitivity and it being bad for you was largely xenophobic in origin, and a fascinating example of the nocebo effect.
In college I remember hearing about a study where they gave people who claimed to have MSG sensitivity a Chinese meal and an Italian meal. They claimed to have symptoms after the Chinese meal. But that particular Chinese meal had no MSG in it. Meanwhile, people didn’t report symptoms from the Italian meal, which was chock-full of MSG.
Do yourself a favor: get a shaker of MSG from your local grocery store and put that shit on eggs (along with salt). It’s amazing what a pinch of “the flavor enhancer” does.
Edit: also nothing wrong with fluoride in the water at the doses we get it. It’s good for developing stronger teeth.
I make a “savory salt” that I just use in place of salt. It’s not a miracle or anything, but it’s definitely good.
By weight:
90% salt
7.5% MSG
2.5% I + G https://www.amazon.com/Sodium-Inosinate-Guanylate-350-gram/dp/B07ZQS2DL2
Big ass bottle of MSG in the drawer with the rest of the bulk spices. It is mandatory that my food is properly seasoned.
The msg “scare” was such bullshit. MSG is the fuckin bomb for making those quick meals taste great when you’re in a rush. And good meals even better when you got time.
Yeah i sprinkle they shit in everything i cook
thanks I was gonna type all that out 👌
Me keeping a W11 laptop around exclusively for Fusion360
I’m pretty happy with FreeCad.
Revit, AutoCAD, Rhinoceros, Bluebeam, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign. Virtual machines are, unfortunately, not ideal professionally. Other solutions like Crossfire and Winboat are hit or miss, but mostly miss. My biggest hope for SteamOS isn’t that games continue to improve, but that other large corpos will start to take Linux that much more seriously soon.
In all fairness…GIMP cannot do that.
Of all the FOSS software I’ve used, GIMP is by far the furthest behind the commercial competitor. Adobe sucks ass in a lot of ways, but Photoshop and Lightroom are amazing products.
I do prefer Inkscape to Illustrator in a lot of cases. Especially with SVG support. Illustrator actually kinda sucks at importing SVG files.
[Cries in CAD]
True enough.
I’m spoiled in GIS with QGIS. I’ve been using it professionally for years.
Krita.
Everyone screams at me when I say this, " Krita is for tablet artistry REEE!!! ", but Krita is basically PhotoShop from before Adobe went hardcore into ‘everything is a subscription’, roughly 10-15 years ago.
grumbles about macromedia suite and newgrounds and homestar runner and xiaoxiao stick fighter and fucking kids these days
Krita is weak with vectors, text (not for much longer!) and things such as transform filters which are a little buggy and poorly performing. But painting? filters? ergonomy? it’s the king
I use Photoshop for work, and I keep GIMP installed as a conversion tool because for some reason Photoshop is an absolute wimp when it comes to opening downloaded PNG or WEBP images. About 1/4 of the time I get “Not a PNG” or “Can’t open image due to a programme error.” Clicking the Help option in the error dialogue takes me to Adobe’s help page about saving images, not opening them.
GIMP has effortlessly opened every single image I’ve thrown at it. After exporting from GIMP, suddenly Photoshop works. Bad look for the industry standard image editing programme.
I do like InDesign tho
LMMS is further behind it’s proprietary competition than GIMP is (to the point where I think Audacity will be usable as a DAW before LMMS catches up) but I know DAWs are less mainstream than picture editing.
Where can I find open source friends? I’d like to compile them myself
You can fork them too 😏
I’m already available as an executable, a few known bugs but they won’t accept pull requests for patches on oneself, something about eternal life or something.
I mean uhhhhhh beep boop.
Ah neat, so I can just curl you?
🥺👉👈
OpenLlama. Alpaca.Run a local friend model, today!
I… actually futzed around with this just to see if it would work, and… yeah, there actually are models that will run on a Steam Deck, with Bazzite.
EDIT: Got my angry spitting long necked quadrupeds mixed up.
Alpaca is a flatpak, literally could not be easier to set up a local LLM.
Calm down Dr. Frankenstein
I think this is relevant to the topic. I don’t think it violates any copyright “ToS”–New to the site, as it was Linus himself that posted it. I’ll share it. He talks about why he pays Adobe 10k+k USD a year.
Posting a YouTube video never violates copyright lol
From what I remember, that boiled down to ‘it is more important to consistently pump out lots of content instead of letting staff learn and use something new’ which… I don’t have a very good opinion of him but that’s another oof.

Eh, sometimes its tastes too pime taradoxy.
Look my laptop came with an NVIDIA GPU I have to use the drivers
the nvidia drivers are open-source now, right? (ignoring firmware blobs)
Last I heard NVidia’s open source drivers are garbage. Which is impressive given that their proprietary drivers are also garbage.
Not the one I’m using. Maybe they have open drivers, but the one I had to use to get a working CUDA isn’t
Yeahp, that’s how they getcha.

Yea literally nothing controversial about any of these ingredients. Cringey. The only thing that makes sense is the cameras
Sometimes it’s a bit embarrassing.
