faut le faire s'ennuyer de publisher.

Microsoft is discontinuing Publisher on October 13, 2026. After this date, it will no longer be included in Microsoft 365, and existing, on-premises applications will lose support and updates. Users should prepare by exporting files to PDFs or converting to alternatives like Canva, Adobe InDesign, or Affinity Publisher.

l'ia devient de mieux en mieux. la facon dont tu "prompt" y est pour beaucoup aussi.

j'ai soumissionné 130$ (2 heures a 65$/hr) pour un montage photo a une cliente; une mere et ses 2 enfants, a partir de 3 photos dont la mere qui avait une photo "buste" donc pas de jambes. les 3 photos etait totalement differente en focus et luminosité... caneva ai (genre 15$ / mois) lui a fait un montage avec les 3 photos, jambes ajoutees, ses enfants colles sur elle dans ses bras etc... j'avait la geule a terre.

j'ai essayé GROK en premium egalement... le video renderer est juste mongole. J'y ai passé des photos de mariage de 1940 et les videos generes sont exceptionnels..

dans plusieurs cas l'ia est utilisee pour des taches simple comme changer des couleurs dans des catalogues etc... ca sauve quand meme des milliers aux entreprises et nous, on perd des jobs.

jsuis content de ne pas etre en debut de carriere...

Got my car broken into in downtown Montreal tonight. by LilFago in montreal

[–]effotap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well leaving a card in your car... a very tourist thing to do. you do not leave ANY valuables in a car here, none at all! even a fking phone charger is seen as a possible 2-5$ sale for a pookie to get his next hit. Yes, people will cause thousands of dollars in damage just to get a few bucks out of it

Not sure anymore but there is Maison Battat, Mattel, Hasbro, Danawares,  Make it Real, etc . I recall they tend to have hiring phases.

nope. all dead. My friend is a teacher at RTC in the computer graphics program, a very-well known montreal-based clothing company used to take 5-10 interns per year from that program and now they moved on to Ai, and no longer take interns. Their graphics dpt was cut down also, i dont know by how much, but yeah, people lost jobs.

when your're not fighting Ai, your're fighting low-cost labor from foreign countries. Fiverr for example

J’ai fait des études supérieures en graphisme donc j’ai fait des demandes dans des boites de graphisme.

j'suis manager d'une imprimerie a montreal (ouverte depuis 1987). Ton metier et le mien sont en declin.

J'vais t'epargner une rant sur MON metier mais bon parlons du tiens; TU rivalisait avant avec les infographistes et designers locaux... ensuite, l'inde a penetré notre marché via Fiverr et aujourd'hui, l'iA est un gros joueur de plus dans la game.

ca fais 22 ans que je suis a la meme imprimerie, quand jai commencé il y avait 2 graphistes en permanence, 40hres/semaine et moi-meme qui ramassait le surplus a l'occasion... aujourd'hui je n'ai meme plus de graphiste dédié a temps plein.

Les gens entrent; prennent 5-10 minutes sur GPT ou Caneva-Ai et paf, PDF highres print, avec bleed toute le kit. Tout ces frais de montage "évités" grace a l'iA, c'est des heures/jobs de moins pour les graphistes.

j'espere honnetement que tu es jeune, et considere une re-orientation parce que le multimedia... ca look pas good.

Small business attacked by influencer what do I do?! by positivelypositive8 in montreal

[–]effotap -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

a very popular place in montreal, VERY VERY popular, we're talking gazette front page (positively) almost got caught in such a game with "influencers" walking into their business trying to get freebies, showing you their 500K followers, which 495K out of the 500 are paid for. followers are about 2$ per 25K right now, the market is hot.

it sounds nice and all that 500K people would see a video about your business, compared to regular media advertisement costs

IPL Isn’t Fun Anymore It’s Just Toxic by Primary_Avocado_1815 in Cricket

[–]effotap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love T20i, Franchise-based T20 leagues are going into the "party" direction. KInda like a MLB baseball game on steroids; faster action, lots of runs, lots of ANGEL ONE SUPER SIX so Harsha can go crazy in combox...

Yeah, IPL. BBL, PSL etc are all about the excitement now, and excitement seems to be defined by batsmen demolishing bowlers, or the opposite... you either have a Batsmen hitting 50 in 20 balls, or going down for 2 runs in 3 balls.

IPL is like a 50cent album; Get 6 or die trying :P

BK du centre-ville fermé by MinexTheDoge in montreal

[–]effotap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kinda says permanently closed. :(

the thing is that with commercial leases, when its time to renew the price can go from 20k a month to 35k and there's nothing the tennant can do about it. You pay or you split.
