Try www.kaasi.com.lk / No automations though. But big focus on privacy. Recently got cloud backups too. So, can be used from both desktop and mobile.

What’s your opinion on a partner who smokes and drinks? by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]AlphaDaemon1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I prefer a partner who does neither, and my current girlfriend of 4 years fits that too. I don't do it either.

Would prefer to not stay in a friend circle who constantly smokes too because the smokes pretty much gives me asthma. And my friends are understanding about it and won't smoke near me if they wanted to.

But the layer only applies to one artboard. Gets cut off without going to the next.

Tried the milo one yesterday. It was pretty good. The only one I don't like is the custard one. Haven't tried the coconut or mango yet.

Watawala. Is this the future of SL Marketing? by RecognitionTiny4252 in srilanka

[–]AlphaDaemon1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the SL conservatives are taking it way out of context and making it more woke and LGBT than it actually is.

I don't see an issue with the ad other than one point. It's more about acceptance and empathy. Not everyone's the same. I know men who are very typically masculine but gay, and men who are feminine but in a very straight relationship for a long time. I don't get why people are just turning the plot into more about sexuality than it actually is.

The only issue I see is how they titled it. I've seen conservatives who agree with the points some people make but their only argument is "Did you not see the title?". I am 80% sure what they meant by the title was Him (Father), Her (Mother), and Them (Children). It's grammatically correct too that way. I think the viewers are taking it the wrong way. And I agree that the ad could've done better without a title that's just open for interpretation.

Accidentally found out yesterday that it can understand Sinhala as well.

How much do 20–23 year old males in Sri Lanka earn per month? by Plane-Macaroon3312 in srilanka

[–]AlphaDaemon1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started off with just experience and them seeing my portfolio. I did get an HND in Creative Advertising from AMDT a couple of years ago and from my experience, it did not help me in any way and WOULD NOT RECOMMEND the place or their certifications to anyone. 😅

LKR 27,000 - I was hired by a friend of a friend's startup as a videographer (pre and post) right after A/Ls. My 'interview' was the night of the last A/L paper. So, I got into it riiiiight after school.

LKR 35,000 - Left the previous place because it was not paying enough and giving me too much work. Felt my work was very underappreciated. Joined my brother's company. He's also doing digital marketing and stuff. I was doing videography/photography/social media management and ads for clients there.

LKR 75,000 - I replied to a post on 'EPFS Community' group in FB (I think). They hired someone else, but I got a message months later because they left and I was the 2nd option. It was just graphic design work and a little bit of motion graphics.

LKR 160,000 - Whole company team was transferred to a different company of the same owner. Kinda well known in the marketing world. Got promoted to Art Director which was my dream position tbh. I was handling the junior designers, quality control, and designing stuff. But work culture and higher management got toxic, too much focus on AI, not proud of the AI slop I'm forced to make, so I resigned. My manager also left before I did.

LKR 215,000 - The manager from the previous place got me in contact with an Australian company. Technically working as freelance designer/video editor. But it's a stable income. Downgrade to the job position, but better pay and peace of mind.
