As always, Rollie busting out another comedic gem.

I'd actually never used Photoshop until yesterday (CS6 to be exact. Yarr! 🏴‍☠️ ), out of curiosity to see how it compared to this modded GIMP, so I don't really have a good frame of reference on how they truly compare beyond what I messed around with briefly.

On a side note, I've seen on youtube that it's possible to get the latest version of Photoshop working in WINE on Linux Mint, which could be an option if you decide to fully switch to Linux. I managed to get CS6 working in WINE, though it seemed to be a little slowish when making brush strokes (unsure if that was normal or not), and there was a couple minor visual bugs (a tooltip not going away), but nothing that would've fully prevented me from using it.

Woah! Had no idea. Considering that, I'm amazed this ability for GIMP isn't more well known (or maybe it is, and I'm just unusually late hearing about 😅)

That was all Five. They've always had a way with words, but they absolutely threw down a royal flush with that one 😄

The creator of that bio reactor made an incredibly impressive Defcon talk about it and how it works. Highly recommend a watch for those interested.

Also @[email protected]. This is probably the closest you'll get to what you're after.

And also @[email protected], just cause I figure you'll find it fascinating :)

Holds up card

It rhymes with band, and gets everywhere.

3 Days of The Condor is the best political movie, IMHO.

Best Apolitical? Picking one of my favorites, Where Eagles Dare.

Both are watchable for free on Archive.org :D

purely anecdotal, but I tried it last month, and an update seemed to bork the nvidia driver, so I figured it wasn't ready for me yet, and went to mint.

I suspect it'd have been fine with open source drivers though.

Yes. Any industry whether blue or white collar, from welders to coders, they'll help you ^^

I would suggest:

  1. Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, will lay the groundwork for effective resistance.
  2. Join the IWW. They have superb resources on how to form a union in your workplace, are uniquely able to unionize any trade, and would be the most likely to join or initiate a general strike.

I suppose an old 2g phone would be safe since they shut down the 2g networks, AFAIK, but those aren't particularly useful as a non-phone device :p

There's quite a few small handheld laptop/computers on the market now like the Mecha Comet or ClockworkPi which only have wifi and bluetooth, I think those would be pretty safe. (Could also make one, like this)

Open hardware would be great. AFAIK there is currently no open-source cellular radio hardware on the market.

Rhinophrynus dorsalis is the only surviving member of a family of amphibians that once had a distribution throughout North America and contained many more species 30 million years ago. Today the sole species in this family occurs from South Texas down into Costa Rica. They reside deep in the ground and only emerge after heavy rains. Their call is a very bizarre and distinct sound.
