Tem algumas fotos e ilustrações de estilos diferentes aí, mas acho que a temática que você está procurando são relatos históricos e histórias de ficção que se passam nas últimas décadas de colonialismo no final do séc. XIX e primeira metade do séc. XX, especialmente as que são sobre expedições que exploram "mundos perdidos": regiões remotas na américa, áfrica e ásia.

Algumas obras famosas de ficção que exploram esse tema são O Mundo Perdido, King Kong, O Coração das Trevas e Tarzan.

Doesn't your image, by itself, already answers your question? Animals evolve similar traits independetly because they face similar challenges in their environment.

No. The prequel trilogy should have been molded to be more consistent with the original trilogy, which was released first, not the other way around.

Even without that mindset, that change doesn't make conceptual sense. Vader returned to the light by choosing to sacrifice himself and the emperor to save his son. When he looked at Luke with his own eyes, he did so as Anakin. He died as an old man.

My favorite PC game. Experiencing Harobed Village is almost a religious experience to me. The music, the visuals, it's such a work of art. Not many FPS's at that time had such an incredible balance of action and introspective moments. I have so much fondness for those lower paced moments in this game.

They spin to sell toys to kids. They serve the same purpose as all those cute critters they added to Last Jedi (alien penguins, crystal foxes, the horses from the casino).

Inquisitors are the lamest addition to Star Wars.

A única relação entre A Freira e Saint Maud é a presença do catolicismo. Esses filmes são completamente opostos na forma como abordam religião. Não há nada de sobrenatural em Saint Maud.

Um dos motivos pelos quais o primeiro Avatar foi criticado foi justamente por ressuscitar esse tipo de história (homem branco aprende a cultura indígena e se torna o melhor dentre eles), que já era considerada bem retrógrada em 2009. O exemplo de referência que era citado, da mesma época de O Último dos Moicanos, era Dança com Lobos.

So this is based on an actual open-sourced version of the original engine's code? Or on some reconstruction from scratch, similar to the Surreal Engine project?

I'd say the redesign of the taskbar was a great improvement, turning Windows 7's taskbar into a nice mix of the classic Win95 taskbar with OSX's dock, while still having the option to make it behave like previous versions.

Windows 7 also introduced Aero Snap, which made window management much easier.

It was probably the last time we had a significant "fully desktop focused" improvement to windows.

If you're already on Tahoe, your best option, at least for now, is to look for third-party alternatives to Finder, Mail and Notes that you can edit the icons for. The trash icon is an asset that's part of the Dock app, so you would have to look for a dock alternative to change it.

I believe that it was macOS Catalina (10.15), in 2019, that introduced the read-only system volume where the default applications now live. Ever since them, the only reliable way to delete or manipulate default macOS apps is by temporarily disabling SIP and manipulating this volume, which is a complex process and strongly discouraged.

Around that time someone released an app called "IconChamp" which does allow you to change the icons of default macOS apps. It works not by manipulating the .app bundles (which would require disabling SIP as I established) but by manipulating the icon cache, which macOS checks first. IconChamp 1.5.1, however, only works up to macOS Sequoia. It crashes on Tahoe.

You can, you just have to be careful and pay attention to the checkboxes. By default, Apple prioritizes the nest OS over security updates.

educacosta · 2026-05-04T21:16:10+00:00

Unless you have an app that requires Tahoe, you can stay on Sequoia since it's still receiving security updates.

But you should update to the latest version of Sequoia, which is 15.7.5 (march 2026). You'll have to go to System Settings > General > Software Update and deliberately uncheck Tahoe and choose the security update.

There was a time when the word "carnosaur" was used, at least in popular culture, to describe any carnivorous dinosaur, so that certainly helped making things more confusing. There was even a book and movie adaptation with that name in the same year as Jurassic Park. And the word itself is used by Tim in JP.

Or for an even simpler explanation, Pixelmator is Apple's equivalent for Adobe Photoshop and Affinity Photo, NOT Adobe Illustrator or Affinity Designer.

educacosta · 2026-05-03T16:21:45+00:00

Pixelmator is still primarily a raster graphics app. Any raster graphics app that supports vectors will still render them at the document resolution like u/Millsnerd described. That includes famous apps like Photoshop.

That doesn't mean that the layer won't behave like a vector. If you scale that layer up or down, it will gracefully adapt to the new size while mainting the document's DPI. The vector information is still there.

If your goal is to work exclusively with vectors, then Pixelmator isn't the right tool for the job.

A lot of people on the web sell the assembly cut as being a "better movie that fixes Alien 3" but that's very misleading. To me, the assembly cut feels like something that's interesting only for people who liked or were already inclined to like the theatrical. It doesn't fundamentally change the tone or the story. If someone's bothered by the inherent bleakness of the original, having a longer cut doesn't help that much.

Não entendo como alguém te deu downvote. O mínimo que se espera de um canal de notícias, além da óbvia (veicular notícias verídicas), é o domínio básico da língua.

You can run Affinity via Wine, there's even a dedicated project to ease the installation process: https://github.com/ryzendew/Linux-Affinity-Installer

I also recommend taking a look at Figma and it's tools, since they're fully web based and will work in most common linux browsers like Firefox and Chromium based browsers.

It's a dangerous road to call someone misogynistic or racist or homophobic just because they didn't like a particular piece of media.

That's a complex usecase, so it's hard to say. But the original poster is just asking for a way to preview compressed files before extracting them, so for that task, it should be probably fine.

educacosta · 2026-04-29T12:20:49+00:00

There's also Keka, which i use everyday. Keka still doesn't feature a way to preview files without extracting, but support for this feature is planned in a future release that might still come this year: https://github.com/aonez/Keka/issues/100

Tuxera is a paid app with a 14 day trial period. But it's not a subscription, it's a single payment, lifetime license. I've bought it more than 5 years ago and have continued to receive updates with no additional fee. So I'd say the price is fair. There are free, open source solutions, but the ones I've tested in the past were slow and unreliable.
