The other day I recommended someone try out pixlr as a free image editor, as I remember it being a nice tool, and they told me "I don't want an AI tool. I hate AI." I was confused, went to the site, and saw it is plastered with adverts for some AI image generation features. The actual editor seems buried. People do NOT like having AI stuff shoved in their face. The investors out there pushing every company to develop…

> People do NOT like having AI stuff shoved in their face People don't like having bad or unhelpful AI features crammed into products but seeing the growth of ChatGPT, Midjourney, Adobe Generative Fill, Udio and Luma people definitely do like AI that actually works.

The ML-based similar sound search in Live 12 has been a huge help. It replaced searching for the right percussion sound with a button on the drum rack that moves through similar sounds at an instrument or rack level. I can also use it to search for similar Foley to add variety in the textures that tie the track together.

Very cool! Although other more complex open source solutions exist, for me the sweet spot between capable and not overwhelming is perfect. I prefer Photopea over Photoshop for that same reason (..just don't go crazy on the anti-adblocker like Photopea did)

Which open source solutions exists as an alternative to After Effects?

Can you please clarify, which exactly key features are missing from Firefox that make this app say 'use Chrome or Edge'?

The fact that he's a solo dev giving his project away for free (even for a limited time) is a good enough reason.

We are not doubting his reasons. We were interested in why.

Probably the same features that computers have had since the 1960s, but nobody writes native applications anymore. Guess I'll have to pass on this one. I wish Chrome weren't the only operating system people chose to write software for.

In chrome you can turn off the network per tab.

In Firefox I use this extension for the same purpose https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/work-offline-...

This only works on Google's OS, Chrome.
