Wow, I had no idea that was even a thing! The U.S. Department of Education is now teaming up with them to expand, and honestly, it's making me feel pretty sick just thinking about it.

The frustration with AI is understandable, but the blame is sometimes misplaced. Remember: hate the game, not the programmer.

Often when our list of Adobe alternatives is shared people comment that it's okay to pirate Adobe software. It's not, because that still supports Adobe through usage and staying in their ecosystem. Instead, do look into alternatives!

Mitch Hedberg humorously stated “An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.”

I heard this today and couldn't help but laugh.. "Vanilla soy milk lattes are just three bean soup." Before the nomenclature committee convenes, I know, I know... It's technically a fruit seed (coffee), an orchid pod (vanilla), and a legume (soy). 🤣
