Creating ads that are even more targeted to you so you can forget about everything and buy that electric kitchen knife you just saw scrolling reddit

I checked it out as I was curious. First post was "I sleep with my sister, AMA" and then an AI porn thread with guides and very dangerous lolicon porn.

Do not check it out

When is ad an advertisement and not a recommendation?

Always? That's why it's called ad instead of recommendation

I think it uses VAAPI for AMD and NVENC for Nvidia, and saves it as H264

Zed is not an IDE, it's a code editor. No, they aren't the same things, it's like saying a table and a kitchen are the same thing.

Wouldn't running it on privileged mode cancel out whichever safety measures of running that script in a container?

Yes I have, but GIMP simply isn't aimed at the same type of work Photoshop and AF Photo are. GIMP feels much more of a hobbyist tool to quickly make a simple edit and that's done. And like the other comment said, it has no non-destructive editing at all, which is an enormous dealbreaker for any kind of professional work you might do.

As far as I know it doesn't, even with Wine/Proton. I mean, you can get it to run, but not properly and it's very unstable, not usable at all so far.

Check this video as well. I do share most of that experience of having to Google how to do some things because it's not immediately obvious, and some other things do take more clicks/effort than they should've compared to Photoshop. All in all, it has completely replaced Photoshop for my use case.

For most use cases of Photoshop, GIMP is not an alternative at all. For more basic use cases it is, but st that point you shouldn't be wasting efforts on Photoshop anyways, something like Paint.NET would be the recommended.

The closest we have for any Adobe alternatives are Affinity Photo for Photoshop, but that one is not free nor open source, but it's a lifetime pay once license. For some use cases of Photoshop and Illustrator you could use Krita, which is FOSS, and for Premiere there's DaVinci resolve, which has Linux builds and a free version.

To avoid driver distraction, these ads do not pop up, expand only if they’re tapped on, and disappear quickly after a short time.

You know what's even better and legally positive to avoid driver's distractions? Not having any popup whatsoever happening during navigation. It doesn't matter if you need to interact to view more or if it disappears after a while, it shouldn't be there in the first place.

Yuzi provided means to grab keys and firmware from a Switch console, which seems to be a big red flag and a reason why Nintendo went after them. Sudachi also has guides and download links for decryption keys and Switch firmware. From what I can see ryujinx only provides some guides on how to get the keys from a Switch but no apparent download links or "shortcuts"

Besides, we should not be pointing fingers at emulator devs. Companies are not your friend, we're just a means to profit for them.
