Good to hear. It depends how deep you dive into the configuration, it can get very frustrating setting some things up. If you stick to what's popular, it should be easy.

This is my pet peeve. This is one application that should be paid for. It hugely lacks features. Non-destructive editing with gradients, adjustments, masks. Better selection tools, CMYK would be nice. But that's not the worst part, it doesn't have the entirety of Adobe Illustrator, which you can work between. Affinity has the Designer equivalent, which I use a lot.

I don't think you have used Affinity of Photoshop much.

Yoooo, how you finding it? Freeing?

If they go public I'm changing distros

Why don't we have an open source anti-cheat protocol that is a demon-level service. Everyone hates kernel anti-cheat, but only because they're close source, so why don't we have one that's open source. Seems like a simple solution.

I still use VirtualBox with Windows 10 to launch all the Affinity products because GIMP is so bad. And for browser fingerprint protection, e.g. chrome (ungoogled) on windows, because no browser fakes it. Not mullvad, Tor or Brave.

Yeah, it's much harder to completely hide the fact you're using encryption.

I'm not so sure about those beginner-friendly distros, they seem a little doggy and miss out on the massive work that the Debian and Ubuntu teams do that a smaller team can not. Snap is good for small, one time use or untrusted apps. But most of the time, its performance is really slow. It needs some work.

Files are a whole other issue. If I was to make a file upload, it would be my site (encrypts & uploads data)->uploadthing.com->AWS T3 Buckets->returns link. Because if it was bad content my site cant do the decryption without being liable, so for decryption->open sauce decryption system->hosted on popular free platforms you can't block->decrypts data and hides original file.

Yeah, I appreciate the feedback. I need to do more, so the link isn't a secret, e.g. any password will decrypt any link to text so if you use the wrong password you get wrong data possibly a different link, that hides if you were wrong or right. Then you only need to share one secret via a separate channel.
