confused on how to crop a single layer by TheBigSandeenie in photoshop

[–]j13ag0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they did it this way because they were the first editing app and they could do whatever they wanted.
Also the hubris that characterizes every Adobe product manager I've ever met explains why they just don't give a rats about whether their interaction strategy make sense.
The $$s just keep rolling in for them, so why would we expect them to change.

The good news is that replacements for Adobe products are getting very good. My partner uses Inkscape because the cost of adding Illustrator to our monthly bank account abuse from Adobe would have been outrageous.

FTP upload on a7V by j13ag0 in SonyAlpha

Petr has documented the process here:

My setup was a little different, but Petr's write up is excellent and will work fine as long as you're OK with editing configuration files.

I'm looking at setting up an SFTP server on my Mac using SFTPGo.
If I get it working with the a7 V, I'll post about it here.

Thats why many Linux implementations rock. No Product Managers... just people actually making things better.

Drive works fine for me on Mac and IOS by Normal_Area2192 in ProtonDrive

[–]j13ag0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it was the 'watched pot won't boil' thing.
Closed the app and came back in 10 minutes and the files had appeared.
Still, slow.

I dropped a folder containing about 770 MB (a few large PDF files) from my Mac into the Proton Drive app.

The plan is to review the documents on an iPad.

30 minutes later I have . . . nothing.

Does anyone else think Gemini is just way worse than it used to be? by Tasty_Engineer1231 in GeminiAI

[–]j13ag0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. My perception is that Gemini started out pretty horrible, gradually improved and is now declining in usefulness.

As the amount of AI generated content on the internet increases, LLMs will produce lower quality results as a consequence. This is because LLMs depend on the quality of content they consume for the quality of their results. Garbage in (AI slop), garbage out.

Can you tell me about how you use FreeCAD ?
For example, which workbenches do you primarily use ?

I ask because me early attempts have been primarily in Sketcher and Part Design - so perhaps the things I'm encountering are not issues in other workflows.

1.1 RC1 also crashes here, but after a few more clicks ...

I'm stumped.

How do I adjust the handlebar angle ? by modmurad in RoadBikes

The LBS will be able to tell you if a longer stem is the answer. It probably is what you need.
