When I was a teen, I used to supplement with ensure meal replacement "milkshakes". Maybe something like that could help?

You can add mods from zip file in vortex if they're formatted right. Plus sign in the top left of the mod list in vortex.

Probably better to just find a hot springs mod on the nexus that you can check is updated/compatible or not though.

Don't forget Ohio's new proposed law for life starts at ejaculation!

"What do you use this paintbrush for?"

"It makes colored marks on paper, duh."


What is your use case?

  • Slapping text on a screenshot to make memes?
  • Color grading photos?
  • Digital painting?
  • Crudely cutting out celebrity heads and slapping them on nude photos like some pervert with shaky hands, scissors, a glue stick, and some magazines?
  • Marketing copy design?
  • Professional portrait touch ups?
  • Making those sweet ass 90s Rose Art airbrushed rainbow filled binder covers?

My <2 year old daughter "edits images" when I let her sit at my desk and slap around the keyboard and mouse with an image editor open. That doesn't mean that what she's doing is a comparable use case to Photoshop or other professional tools.

"Linux totally does this thing!"

"Cool, I want to use Linux to do that, what do I need to make it work?"

*Gestures vaguely at nothing in particular, refuses to elaborate, leaves.*

The "works on my machine" certification sure seems like an amazing barometer for usability.

Cool! But what does that have to do with ease of use compared to proprietary DVR tools?

Edit: Wasn't able to listen to any if the audio, just scrubbed through the video, read the title and description.

Thank you. All of this libre software is amazing, and impressive as hell, but that doesn't exempt it from having usability issues and other valid points of criticism.

Calling that out isn't inherently anti-Linux or anti open source. I want all of these tools to improve to the point that there's no fucking contest and they are the de facto standard (like blender is), but shit is going to have a harder time improving if people have blinders to valid criticism.

Beyond the other answers stating that this isn't real:

Teams doesn't do one off charges for functionality like this. All functionality is managed by licensing, managed through your workplace's Azure tenant. Don't have the license, don't have the feature. Need the feature? Time to work with Microsoft billing to get you a new license (or additional one) and then your IT team to have the license applied to your account.

There aren't usually any upsells displayed to end users. In our environment we've only seen a rare "this functionality is not available on your license, go complain to your admin" type message, but usually it just doesn't display unavailable options.

On top of all that, Microsoft is dumb, but not this dumb. Last thing their team of lawyers would want is for them to be involved in some sort of "involuntary pornography" case or something.

Vincent Price is a treasure, especially when he's able to ham it up! Just watched his episode of The Muppet Show recently. I'll have to check this out!

Copyright is regularly abused by large corporations in the pursuit of more money. Previously it was primarily used as a cudgel against individuals (against piracy, parody, and fair use). But now that their own rules are inconvenient to them they ignore its existence in pursuit of further profits.

Copyright to protect large companies? Fuck that.

Copyright to protect individuals from having their work appropriated? Yes please.

Copyright is already abused against individuals. Corporations already have these powers. What people want is the ability for these powers currently only available to the corporations to be available to the public. I've not seen anyone arguing for corporations to be granted more.

Trying to support individuals enforcing copyright against corps isn't going to change the fact that corporations alrwady have these rights, it's just trying to get corps to play by the same rules they apply to us.

Plus, any of the critically needed changes to copyright law would be fucking useless as long as we allow corporations to ignore what already exists for the sake of convenience.

Completely discarding concepts and arguments based only on the fact that they are associated with "the enemy" is dumb as hell. Likewise, "owners of intellectual property" != "only companies". "Owners of intellectual property" covers anyone who takes photos, writes text, makes art, or makes original "content".

Wow, what a trick! Much exploit!

"deceived victims into running PowerShell as an administrator and pasting in malicious code"

Once again, people are the weakest link.

Vaguely interesting delivery method. Spearphishing emails with an attached PDF with the instructions and the code to copy paste in it. Claims that it's the way to "register windows". Maybe putting it in a PDF bypasses email filtering?
