    Keeping in mind that a single axis for progress is reductive: also, don’t forget that there have been and will be backslides. For example, European colonialism set back a lot of progressive / alternative cultures, genociding them or converting them to something that better-served the interests of empire (e.g., race rules).

    We don’t have time for your full scale reality. The luxury is gone to shop for quality. It is all a sacrifice of illusion now.

    Stop using proprietary software, embrace FOSS. Krita, GIMP, Inkscape.

      keep using ‘photoshop’ as a generic term and verb until it becomes ‘generic enough’ for adobe to lose its trademark. same with ‘google’ ftm.

        Nooo!!! You are only helping them! /s

        Instead use edit/make/search.

      You want me to say “Feel free to GIMP your variants”? =\

      P.S. I made this in Inkscape actually :)

        The word you are looking for is “make” or “edit”.

        Kids these days… Have to rename everything! /s

        Did you know that “to google something” is the proprietary version of “to search something”? See!!! Proprietary software has integrated into conversational phrases! *It’s time to stop!*

        I envy you because I don’t know how to use Inkscape properly (it looks very complicated). I don’t really need/use it, so yeah.

        Enough is enough. It’s time to make this year the year of Linux. /s

        I mean, I mostly enjoy my FOSS (there are some issues). At least I don’t have to pay thousands of dollars or pirate it (and hiding it) only to find out that it’s Linux incompatible.

    If you want to be “accurate” middle age and now would be the same line (because the last millennia is about 0.33…% of homo sapien’s history) and bright future would be pretty fucking long because there’s at least a billion years ahead of us for life on Earth, probably more…

      That’s optimistic. With record heat levels, it’s going to become uninhabitable for humans long before a billion years.

        That’s just humans though, plenty of life will go on living and they will probably be better off without a global apex predator in their way. That will be the true bright future for life on Earth. Maybe we’ll eventually manage to better ourselves and solve the climate problems we’re facing too, time will tell.

        One thing though, some sections of the planet will become uninhabitable for humans, not all though. People have been living in the scorching heat of the desert for thousands of years, if the average summer temperature closer to the poles increases to 27 instead of 22, people will manage to survive there, worst case they’ll adopt a nomadic lifestyle again.
