No, Pride Isn’t for Cops, Too
  • Queers Against Fascism ran a float in this year's Stockholm Pride in conjunction with The Rojava Committee - they had an effigy of Erdoğan on it (the one they hung upside down outside Stadshuset), holding the flag. Turkey were, of course, malding like fuck and pure spit their dummy out at the Swedish government.

    Then one of the Pride organisers released a statement saying How Dare You! regarding QaF etc. for the 'stunt', claiming that Pride should be used as a celebration with happy happy joy joy dancing etc. etc. and not for political grandstanding. Fucking waster. It would be funny as all fuck if the NATO deal falls over because a gang of gays and revolutionaries.

    In previous years QaF have ran their own counter march, joined by other action groups in protest at the absolute gentrification of the main Pride organisation and their inclusion of cops and armed forces. It'll be interesting to see if they are allowed to run a float in next year's march...

  • Anon talks about Joe Rogan
  • If you told Joe that Apple own a warehouse full of genetically altered chickens that actually laid iPhones he'd stare at you, slack-jawed and wonder why this hasn't been reported in the press. Just a fucking clown from his toes to his eyelashes.

  • What are your favorite add-ons for Firefox?
  • Channel Blocker for YouTube. Stop all those horseshit channels from reappearing in your suggestions.

    Control Panel for Twitter. Allows you to customise your homepage by removing / changing parts of the UI, blocking ads and whatnot.

    Save webP as png / jpg. Right-click to save those fucking awful files as something you can actual use.

    Unwanted Twitch. Add channels / games / tags and keywords to a universal blacklist that stops them from appearing in the 'Browse' or recommended sections. Great for filtering out mince like IRL streams, shit like LoL etc. and chud streamers.

  • Do you ever feel like you have to apologize for .7z archives?
  • Never use 7z, because I do design work for a living and sending things to clients should be as trouble-free as possible - lots of corporate setups don't allow additional programs to be installed, so zip files are a baseline for things that everyone, anywhere, can open. People have enough trouble trying to understand a WeTransfer download link, let alone some bizarro file format that could be flagged by their antivirus.

  • While technically POSSIBLE, how viable is it to run Adobe apps, especially Premiere and After Effects, on Linux
  • There will be massive performance issues due to driver support and in the way modern Adobe apps use the GPU to handle a lot of the work. Over the past few years as GPU's have become insanely powerful, Adobe have retooled a lot of their apps to make use of that number-crunching - before you could bruteforce it with a decent CPU but now a lot of program functions are handled by the graphics card - even things like canvas scaling and rotation are only active using the GPU.

    Until Adobe make native versions (and there is corresponding driver support - nVidia run drivers built specifically for creative apps like those from Adobe and Autodesk), I wouldn't even consider using Linux for any type of creative work, to be honest.
