Who knows. TikTok got a breather recently. But Deepseek is an entirely different game. Officials might not like it much for various reasons in the US.

Many people would extend their support just because Deepseek is created by a Chinese firm.

Never. I took breaks but I love graphics, drawing and digital painting. The happiness that comes with it too good to leave

Canva free is a good way to start. Their premium plan is an attractive one as well.

As for Affinity, I love them for the ease of use in many areas. But having invested a lot of time following open source tools, I try to rely on them for most of my needs.

Adobe Suite would be easy to begin. The only problem is that you are locked into it once you invest enough time. There will be a price increase at some point and if you don't keep up, it is not nice.

It was not hard for me then. I am one of those who graduated using printed text books. No internet at all at that time.

The first time, no. I was in dire need for some graphics for my website. When no one was ready to help and the charge was a bit too much for me, I tried doing it myself. It didn't go well the first time. I messed up greatly. There was no YouTube videos to rely on those days.

That is not for me to say. But I am sure I learned a lot. I can make wallpaper, cursor themes, icons and quite a few things.

Started with Photoshop, slowly migrated to open source tools.

First GIMP, then Inkscape. Then slowly started using Blender. Considering where I was in the beginning, I have come a long way.

You think people won't notice that they are talking to an AI bot?

Nice name. Bengaluru is the IT capital of India. Well known for numerous top software companies holding offices in the area. I think you can find them all, Google, Microsoft, RedHat ..

The version with a splash screen made in Blender that won the Academy award !!

I have been using RC3 for a while. Now that beta and stable are the same, I have 2 GIMP 3.0 on my PC

I hope you are having a wonderful time with social media.

Ended up in 3rd place in Ubuntu 25.04 " Plucky Puffin " wallpaper content.

Is it that hard? There is Gnome and KDE, there is Ubuntu and Linux Mint, there is Arch, Fedora etc if you want options.

You can rely on LTS. New versions of Linux come up often because a lot of people want to keep up with frequent schedule of KDE, Gnome and other associated options.

Looks like it is. I did not see it either. Won't mind if Teams support Skype data.

Are you ready for Plucky Puffin? Ubuntu 25.04 is getting ready.

How good are you with the new AI tools?
