I still use my copy of photoshop from time to time.

Photopea has been my go to alternative for opening actual psd docs for a while.

Paint.net was my go to for quick stuff back in windows. I’ve been learning Kirta on linux now.

But for certain work, the 10 year old copy of photoshop is still better at certain things. Specifically for editing actual photos (go figure).

I still use Simple note.

While I’d prefer one that isn’t owned by the same people as WordPress and not sync to their cloud, it is open source and free. I figure it beats Google or MS notes, and don’t have to manage syncing all the files. No AI nonsense either (at least for now)

Easy for shopping lists and jotting stuff down, there’s an app for all the major OSs. I definitely don’t trust it for anything important or sensitive.

I like it so far. I’m just throwing out a bunch of ideas, they may or may not work out. Play with stuff until you find something you like.

The chandeliers are a nice addition. The ceiling space to left and right is left empty, I think some banners on the beams, either brown or dark green would look nice. If not banners, some kind of feature that smaller than the lights.

I think overall the wood color is a bit flat. Break it up a bit, maybe outline the carpet with a dark oak or different color wood for the ceiling planks and log beams.

Similar thing with the pillars, the arches are nice and I like the detailing around the tops and bottom, but put something in the center. maybe a banners or tourches. [edit, looking at this again on a bigger screen, I see the fence and laterern are right there]

Also the stone wall behind the arches may benifit from some variety, maybe inset the center column and a put stone wall there. For the ceiling, in the flat section between beams, slabs of same block can add depth in a few styles. Either a checkered pattern, or raise the center 2 rows up a 1/2 block so it looks like each section is vaulted.

(This part is defiantly my personal style) Finally, think about how the architecture and throne interact. Right now it looks like the throne was just thrown in the middle of a hallway. A good throne room will look like the room was built around the throne.

If you take the suggestion to boarder the carpet with a dark wood, maybe that continues around the throne. Maybe the pillars become larger around the throne, or the arcs in the back curve to mimic the throne’s outline. It should be an architect’s finest work, not something they threw together on a Friday afternoon.

I forgot about shroom and frog lights. I haven’t played in a while. Hiding lights behind banners is a good trick to hide them when they don’t fit the esthetic.

The rods might hide nicely behind the fence, but since you’re on survival it’d be quite the task to get enough.

Looks nice. I wonder, instead of glowstone, which is IMO a bit ugly. Do end rods on either ends of the inside window frames look good?

So look up what it is before you make a fool of yourself?

Cannoli are Sicilian pastries consisting of a tube-shaped shell of fried pastry dough, filled with a sweet and creamy filling containing ricotta cheese.

The filling varies, sometimes it’s just a thick frosting, sometimes its a chocolate pudding like thing, and somewhere in NY it’s more cannolis.

I use a spreadsheet on the computer. Not elegant, and not convenient, but tailored to what I want. I manually put in my income and expenses, and have a separate page for the recurring stuff.

Tip for anyone who does similar, for recurring items (budget or bills), give each month (or whatever your budget period is) it’s own column. That way if something’s price changes mid-year, or changes each month (credit cards) it doesn’t mess with the totals for the previous months. It also allows for more periodic stuff to fit in the same sheet, just put 0 for the months its not due.

My desktop computer is plenty secure, but I can install whatever app I want from any source. The OS provides security tools to help protect against viruses. Even on a Mac desktop you can install apps outside the app store.

Apple and Google are pushing for their app stores to be the only option. Imagine having one store chain in the whole world.

And while the app store apps have a verification process, they’re not impenetrable. Apps slip through the system and scam apps are allowed to run rampent. What’s considered malware now has also changed, 25 years ago an app constantly “phoning home”, scanning your data, other apps and collecting data would have been considered malware.

Devices would be most secure if we didn’t run any application.

I’m not really sure, but I assume “if there’s a will, there’s a way”.

Connecting to private servers has to connect somehow on Microsoft/mojang’s side at least for skins.

The email threatens IP/Domain blacklist.

Sense when did Microsoft become the “speach police”, I’m all for them shutting down problem accounts when they’re reported, but their place isn’t to patrol the chat like a physco mother reading all her kid’s texts.

No one is forced to play on a Minecraft server, if you don’t like the people there, you can leave and find somewhere else.

Corporations are only after profits, they’ll moderate based on whatever’s popular at the time and doesnt hurt their profits. Look at all the gambling/pay to win servers they don’t shit about.

Are people are actually upset about an auto update feature? A feature that has been pretty standard in programs for a very long time?

I understood some of the upset when they added telemetry, but auto-update?

In other words tasks that “AI” is actually good for, not attempting to generate your music or apply some kind of “magic filter”.

I use fossify for most of my core apps, they are what their predecessor was; simple.

And like other said, “Simple” was bought out, but the fork lives on.

Seems like they just combined window and application capture into one thing. It makes sense.

Thats a nice work around lol.

I haven’t tried keepassium. My main device is an android, so the IOS search was brief and focused on ones that didn’t say “in-app purchases”.

Keepassdx is sadly not on ios.

The only good one I’ve found is called strongbox. Free version works fine, but the pro version prices are insanity for something that is free everywhere else. I could get behind a lifetime buy of $10, but for $99 hell no. (Monthly sub is $3 or $25/year).

Looking at the app store now, most of the keepass apps have some form of in app purchace.

Only truly free one is call keepass touch, but frankly when I tired it, it sucked.

How many set their password to your example? They just look up the password when they forget.

Its cool you got them using bitwarden, I should probably get my company to switch, I know there’s a PDF company account passwords floating around…but I’m pretty low on the totem pole.
