My understanding is that despite the competition catching up in terms of the image creation/editing capabilities Abobe is still where you need to be to when you need to manage font licensing and pantone color matching and print workflows.

I'd be happy to be told I'm outdated/wrong on that though...

I don't fall for clickbait. But it's impossible to ignore the headlines, and sometimes it's fun to read how silly they get, like the UN chief claiming the Earth is boiling.

I apologize for assuming you meant personal criticisms. There's too much of it everywhere, not just slashdot, and I shouldn't assume everyone is doing it.

When slashdot started requiring logins to avoid most of the spambots, it annoyed me, and when I did finally sign up, my handle was my protest. It was amazing back then how many others accused me of hiding behind the anonymous handle.

Submission + - Ubuntu will have native AMD ROCm AIML/HPC libraries in next LTS release (canonical.com)

MadCow42 writes: Canonical just announced that they're packaging AMD's ROCm libraries (for AIML and HPC with both data-center GPUs as well as desktop/laptop GPUs), directly into the Ubuntu Universe archive. You can run ROCm on Ubuntu today, but you have to install it via a script from AMD and manually remove and reinstall for any upgrades or bug fixes. Having it in Ubuntu as a normal Debian package will make it much easier to install and also to maintain in the long run via normal apt tooling ("apt upgrade"). This also means that ROCm can be an automatically-installed dependency for other packages, which doesn't happen today.

And interestingly, Canonical has committed to providing long-term-support for ROCm in Ubuntu — which is particularly exciting for edge and IoT devices that may have a long life in the field and need regular security patches and updates.

Nuclear Fission isn't cost effective ... _unless_ you price in the full eco-balance of electricity production. Then the numbers look significantly different and fission could just be a real thing once again. At least until renewables and energy storage have gained significant portions of the energy mix.

No. This is nonsense. Nuclear fuel production has a massive ecological impact. Nuclear only looks good when compared to coal. Stop doing that.
