    "Those layoffs included Lightyear director Angus MacLane, as well as Galyn Susman, the producer who became famous for saving Toy Story 2 after it was accidentally deleted from Disney’s servers."

    Fuck that's cold, they fired the person that was essentially responsible for saving Pixar at the time. Way to show gratitude.

    Jesus Fucking Christ, this fucking company can pay 13 billion and it still will not do a dent on their TRILLION dollars value. Imagine all that society could benefit if those fucking assholes just paid their share, instead of us having to hear how green and socially conscious these bastards are.

    Tech companies are the most disgusting corporations in their sheer greed, right up there with oil corps.

    The thing that irks me the most is that those things work. They'll see a little complain from the most vocal ones, and that's it. The revenue will increase, their shareholders will be pleased, the OS will be worse, and we'll have no viable alternative.

    Unless governments start to regulate the hell out of tech companies, it's only downhill from there.

    Edit: about Linux, it's not viable if you're outside IT or rely on commercial software. That's a debate for another post.

    Horoscopes actually tell the personality of someone.

    Hear me out: if someone believes in horoscopes, they know what each sign mean. Which means they recognise themselves into a sign. Which means they will mostly act in ways to conform to that sign, giving you a way to figure that person out. The sign tells it all, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    It looks like a chicken and egg problem: you don't have commercial software available on Linux so people won't use it, so you don't have enough user base to justify the development of Linux versions. This won't be solved unless a big company like Valve decides that Linux is the way and start solving basic issues like usability and installation of apps.

    Yes, I am being a jerk because GIMP gets routinely thrown around as a Photoshop alternative,which is not. You say I cherry picked a user base, but who are the people that actually pays to use Adobe Cloud? I assure you that they are mostly professionals, because the subscription is expensive.

    Now, the "many people" don't need Photoshop. In fact, there's no reason they should even install it. But people say "Photoshop" and hear "GIMP" as alternative, and this should stop because the app is objectively bad. There's Krita, there's Photopea, there's Darkroom, there's myPaint, there's even Inkscape. Anything is light years ahead that thing, yet it's recommended again and again like a sad joke made to inflict pain on its users.

    GIMP is not a good tool. Stop using, stop recommending it.

The thing is a tank, surviving many falls without a single damage, and I had to swap the protector once in all these years I have it.

    Yeah, say that to professionals whose workflow rely on the thight integration and features of Adobe's software. I'm sure migration to a piece of crap software with a S&M name that can't even do CMYK will work great.

    Affinity is a good alternative still, at least until Canvas implement the subscription model (which I still believe they will do).

    How do I stop wanting to be on a relationship?

    It's not that I can't. The problem is that when I'm with someone, I deeply yearn to be alone. I'd love to have my life for myself, with no responsibility with no one else - just me. But then, when I'm alone, I feel like a failure, like I need a relationship to *feel complete*, and I fucking hate that. So I end up in another relationship, and after two years I can't stand it anymore, and the cycle repeats. What the hell. Has anyone suffered from something like that? How can you be alone and not feel *lonely*? How to kill this need to be with someone? EDIT: Thanks for all the answers, I'm taking every single one into consideration. Please, keep them coming.
