So they decided to reinforce the whole suite as a unique program rather than three separate softwares (Photo, Designer and Publisher) in which previously were able to be used conjointly if you were to purchase all 3 of them.
Yeah, they're making it for free but the fact that they said the new relations with Canva and (oh my fucking god no) AI is a bit suspicious to me
The new UI stuff looks fancy, i like how they made it more modular than Adobe's suite.
Another big addition is that they have combined all the Affinity features in separate Studio preferences, basically like Blender UI presents for different kind of workflows.
Kind of cool, really. But i seriously can't stand seeing "AI" in here.
The image shows a screenshot of a digital interface, likely a design program. The program interface has a white background with several icons and labels visible. Several rectangular boxes are stacked vertically on the left side of the screen. These boxes contain icons and labels such as "Slice," "Typography," "Composing," and "Data". The labels are in black text, with a slightly rounded rectangular box around each. There is also an option labeled "Create" at the bottom of the interface. Finally, a small white arrow points from the stack of boxes towards the "Create" option at the bottom.

The new 'mesh' fill although looks interesting and the example they showed for it looks really sick that it almost looked like 3D cartoon CGI, although i'm not a fan of how the details in the example looked like a bit rushed.
Then new filters. Okay. Data merge improvements. Good. EPUB export. Nice.
Canva AI requires you to have a Canva premium account, which in this case is a thing i am not ever going to care about at all. So i think that's a little win...?
But what actually kills me is that you need to register a Canva account, so your Affinity account is pratically useless from now on. Which is for me one of the biggest doubts of the future of this suite so far.
Then suddenly, they announced scripting support for even more advanced features, which actually may look interesting for the kind of expertised users who'd love adding shader stuff.
The fact they marketed it as "we're now free, we swear" only to see Canva behind has me raise an eyebrow.
I may be quite excessive on this but, I never used Canva before but i'm a bit skeptical about it being the fact they're just yet another corporate. And i am not even going to fall for it anymore.
I'm going to be waiting here on my V2 copy, expecting that in the next weeks they will pull a stunt that will disappoint Affinity users.
They closed the Affinity community forums preemptively in order to favor use of Discord.
I knew there's something fishy going on.
But you know, it's still a bit early, but the paranoia of enshittification is VERY true to this day, and if not, i'm afraid that they're going to mismanage crap with it.
For me, Affinity is now already dead on arrival. One month of wait for a really mediocre relaunch... what a fucking joke.....
anch’io la penso come te. Vorrei essere felice però allo stesso tempo so che potrebbero rovinarlo da un momento all’altro. E poi questa cosa del free forever ho paura che non durerà.
KINGSTON, Jamaica (AFP) — Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica Tuesday with ferocious winds and torrential rains, the most powerful storm ever to hit the island. The Category 5 storm left four people dead, reduced homes to rubbles, demolished vital infrastructure and blocked off road networks, leaving the nation to face the grim reality of a prolonged and gruelling recovery. Here’s a look at some of the worst impacted communities before and after Hurricane Melissa's passage.

My favourite three sandwiches are probably: - Reuben - Avocado and chicken - Oyster po' boy (if they aren't cheap on the oysters)
The last I've never made myself but I had one once that blew me away. I generally don't deep fry stuff, and my local attempts to buy have been weak and disappointing, so it will remain mostly elusive.
-slices of a good quality tomato + slices of mozzarella + large fresh basil leaves, open face on toasted bread. Drizzle with Greek olive oil. Works well on many diff types of bread
- smoked salmon with a smear of whole grain mustard on toast "buttered" with philadelphia light.
- my personal weirdness; any kind of fruit on bread, sometimes with a little cheese. Especially nice is thick slices of fresh pear on buttered toast.
hard to argue with a great Reuben. I have two other favorites: - a well made classic Cuban sandwich - there’s a chicken sandwich here in town called The Colonel: Sweet tea brined fried chicken, white BBQ sauce, scoop of pimento cheese, lettuce and tomato on a toasted bun. It’s so good.

This post includes a timeline of the January 6 investigation as it was known on January 15. If you want to argue about pace of investigation, it's probably helpful to pretend familiarity with it. www.emptywheel.net/2025/01/15/w...
As part of Kyle Cheney and Josh Gerstein’s summary of the Jack Smith report, they argued that “Smith [came] to Garland’s defense” regarding his conduct of the January 6 investigation before Smith was appointed, pointing to Smith’s review of certain l…
During the 2022 election period, prosecutors had the first privilege waiver interviews and were busy exploiting all the phones they had seized in September (all known phones were seized before Jack Smith appointed).
Per the table released by Chuck Grassley, prosecutors sent out 38 subpoenas in the months before Jack Smith's appointment (13 of those were after the election). legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
BY FAR the biggest waste of time during election 2022 came from Jan6 Committee, which is responsible for the longest frivolous delay of the entire Jan6 investigation. In June, they told DOJ they would hand over all transcripts in September. They didn't release them until December.

It’s time to remind the fascist regime that they represent The People. So few seem to remember this. They have bred “a kingdom of fear pretending to be a democracy.” Real power comes “from trust”. The real measure of a government is how they handle dissent”

Responding to new NHS England data showing patients are submitting millions of online consultation requests to GP practices, Ruth Rankine, primary care director at the NHS Confederation, said:
“It is great to see general practice embracing the digital agenda to improve access for patients and manage increasing demand, including the wider use of online consultation systems.
“Patients are clearly now using these systems to access the care they need in greater numbers."

Und ihr heute so? Der Bus zum Venusberg, war gestern zur Vorbesprechung meiner heutigen OP, kam heute früh wieder zu einer Zeit, die nicht auf der Anzeigetafel, aber auf meinem Smartphone stand. Ich hab jetzt eine Krampfader weniger. Die hatte dafür Volumen für zwei. Die sollte man auch nicht alt werden lassen, habe ich gelernt. Frei nach dem Motto: Alles raus, was keine Miete zahlt! #uniklinikbonn

Die obere linke Ecke des Bildes zeigt einen Teil eines dunkelgrünen Stoffes, der sich wahrscheinlich auf einer Faltung liegt. Der Fokus liegt auf dem weißen und dunkelgrünen Tuch. In der unteren linken Ecke des Bildes steht der Text "Universitätsklinik Bonn".

However, I don't agree with all points made by @carissaveliz.
E.g. my #ebook reader (#kobo) does not share any data. Nor does it break easily (it's already eleven years in use). Epubs are updated, when I copy them, not by a publisher. The device runs the wonderful #Koreader, which is #freeSoftware.
Her argument probably applies to certain vendors, such as Kindle. The generalisation to all vendors is wrong.

Yet another #NameThatWare challenge. Those bodges seem to be factory, It is highly unlikely that somebody changed/repaired this thing.
Can you do a educated guess what this thing is and does? The perfect solution will have the exact product name.

Meta today announced it is rolling out two new Threads features that will give users more control over the visibility of content on the platform.
First, new "mentions" and "people you follow" filters in the Activity tab will allow you to fine-tune the replies that are visible in the feed.
Second, a new "review and approve replies" option when drafting a post will allow you to approve replies to your post before they are visible to the public.
The features will be available in the Threads app on iPhone, and presumably on other platforms.
Threads is a social media platform that competes with X, formerly known as Twitter, as well as Bluesky and Mastodon. Meta launched Threads in 2023, less than a year after Elon Musk acquired Twitter, and it works with an Instagram account.
Meta says Threads has hit 150 million daily active users.

Subjecting the Public to famine & impoverishment while simultaneously withholding their access to healthcare services even though the Public has ALREADY PAID for its food assistance and healthcare, in order to finance at least $11 Trillion, so far, in redistribution of Public Goods to plutocrat billionaires* to ensure their perpetual nonparticipation in Society is something for which I've yet to hear the National Socialists / MAGA explicitly blame Biden. And they're usually so in-your-face, up-front with their scapegoating.
*Let us name names. Like Tim Mellon, Peter Thiel, & Rebekah Mercer: Those who literally purchased each of Our three branches, and installed the heinous replacement “government”, to achieve that certainty of their Public dismantlement.
The public goods they've stolen in the form of prepaid & allocated services cut/denied is a massmurderous tiny fraction of the cost of their massive redistribution so, from an economic perspective it's entirely unjustified by any logic. Just craven MAGA-parasitism.
