The war on Christmas shall not cease until it stops its illegal occupation of November.

I recently got an Asus zenfone 10. I usually buy midrange phones but this time I couldn’t find a good one. I like small phones, and they seem to be an endangered species these days. This one also has a headphone jack which is nice.

I think I’d have to see examples to give you a real answer, but I think one thing you see a lot with Canva is pieces built by skilled designers slapped together by someone who might not even be artistic at all.

I’m a designer myself, and I’ve had many times that clients have tried to do something in Canva, only to get stumped on why they can’t get it to look good. It’s usually stuff like bad hierarchy (the relative prominence of different elements to each other) and bad composition. You can have the most beautiful stock art pieces in the world, but they won’t fix your composition.

Are you talking about Canva? You keep saying canvas so I’m not sure.

Houston, we have a problem

Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?

I stand corrected! I’m glad to be wrong about this one. Hard not to be cynical these days and it’s easy to assume ulterior motlves.

Can you explain it to me? I’m just repeating what I’ve been told and I’m not a financial person.

Edit: nvm, I just read the other responders links.

Edit: I’ve been corrected in the comments. Happy to be wrong about this so thanks to the correctors.

Charitable donations can be written off on the businesses taxes, so by having customers pay for the donations it means the company gets to double dip. They write it off and the customer reimburses them for it.

Moral of the story: don’t donate to corporations. Give it directly to a charity.

It really caught me off guard. I had another search later today after I posted this that only had one Ad at the top, so it seems like it depends on the search term. I’m not thrilled this is even possible though 😒

That sounds like a big plus. Someone else said this was some self hosted thing though which is over my head unfortunately

This was the worst time I’ve seen. Here’s a screenshot. The search term was benaroya hall if you want to try yourself.

Everybody wants a tradwife but nobody wants a tradhusband 😔 /s

Some platforms offer better prices in exchange for a one-year subscription commitment, but tiered discounts based on subscriber loyalty are much less common.

It’s literally the opposite most of the time. The longer you stay the more expensive it becomes.

Not saying people should start chugging it down en masse, but your own quote there makes it sound pretty far from equalling cancer.

Sagrada familia in Barcelona. Genuinely jaw dropping and nothing else has topped it in my travels.

I kind of hate takes like these because its such a false equivalence. People aren’t OK with it, but the vast majority of people don’t have time to fight this battle when every single aspect of modern technology is in a constant arms race to do more and more surveillance.

It’s great there are people like you who want to promote more private alternatives, and even better that people are making more private alternatives, but the reality is most foss apps are far inferior user experiences to corporate apps. Until that changes it’s always going to be an uphill battle to convince people to switch, and it’s not because they’re “ok with corporate surveillance”. That isn’t even in the calculation to begin with and it’s not making any friends or building any bridges to imply that about people. You would help your cause a lot if you took a less judgemental approach to spreading the word about it.

Sorry for the soapbox, but I see this attitude on here a lot and it really misses the mark and does damage to an otherwise worthy cause (spreading the word about better software). I don’t think you mean anything bad when you say this, but I just want you to understand how it comes off to people who aren’t invested in that lifestyle.

Communication: try it sometime.

Taking off the belt on your jeans.

I saw one the other day in the wild that had a huge orange “CYBERTRUCK” sticker in faux-graffiti lettering across the back. In case anyone had any doubts!
