I decided to stop being active in this account. I'm going to be active somewhere.

If you wish to connect with me, please let me know by replying this post.

Someone may defy me, but for solving technical problem, Gemini is a good friend to talk with.
In the amidst of chaos, there is still the infinite space to do whatever i want (according to the current circumstamces)

The feeling when I finally solved my touchpad problem (in linux) that has stayed for years..... 

It reminds me of my childhood day when i succesfully solved difficult puzzle. That satisfying feeling makes me craving more problem to solve.

Of course i'm still an ameteur on everything, but that position gives me a freedom to learn everything, to allow me to be a fool, to absord everything i want.

This is interesting, but not for the obvious reasons:

The era of Photoshop may be ending, as Adobe stocks take a battering

tl;dr Adobe's stock is down because "AI" so Yahoo concludes this is the end of the "Photoshop era".

What's interesting here is that "Photoshop era" is ending โ€“ according to Yahoo โ€“ not because users are turning away. It's because *investors* are.

The "market" for software and services is a side-show. Only the stock market matters.

The era of Photoshop may be ending, as Adobe stocks take a battering ๐Ÿ“‰

Is the era of Photoshop over? The stock market seems unconvinced of many traditional SaaS companies offerings as artificial intelligence takes center stage.

i know that X is not a good social media, but i'm still using it for connecting with great thinkers.

question: i'm using Vivaldi browser, but why Vivaldi can't let me sign in to X? It happens both on my laptop & PC @Vivaldi

Hallelujah, I've found a FOSS transcription app that allows offline, on-device transcription of pre-recorded audio files, e. g. downloaded Signal voice messages.

Fair warning: It uses OpenAI's machine learning model "Whisper", which runs locally, but was most likely not trained ethically by OpenAI. But least it's being put to good use as a valuable accessibility tool. ๐Ÿ™

"Notely Voice" by Tosin Onikute is available for Android and iOS and even on F-Droid:

Why I don't use Ubuntu-family?

SImply because it's from Canonical.

And I feel I have more control on my PC with Debian (plus I have a balance to not overtweak my PC and just use my PC as I want).

Why I'm so persistent to use Debian even i'm a casual Linux user?

- Debian is so stable. Low maintenance. I don't need to spend a lot of time to tinker my computer. I prefer to use my computer as my tools to get things done.

- I love FOSS & Debian's core philosophy and wanna supporting them as I can

- Even if I meet an unintended error in my PC, I'm sure i still can fix it (thanks to many helpful forum)

- Many FOSS offer Debian packages

- I just love the old school & efficient thing.

I'm home...

After 2 years ago played with Debian (and back to Windows), now I'm a full-fledged Debian user again.

I'm not LInux superuser, but I think i can handle most of my daily task with Linux.

Hopefully my new future jobs doesn't require me to go back to Windows again ๐Ÿ˜
