Since when did “scratch-built” become equivalent to “built from scratch”? As a non-native English speaker, do I need some more English classes?

Cosmic looks very interesting and very unfinished. Maybe it is the teal accent, maybe it is janky transitions. Nonetheless, I’m happy to see some fresh Linux Desktop Environment.

As a native English Speaker, "scratch-built" is definitely not a common term (I was confused when I read this).

It's somewhat common in the context of cooking. A recipe may refer to something as "scratch made" when its "made from scratch".

In this case, its an extension of the phrase but using the word built instead of made.

They are both equivalent. Scratch-built is perfectly cromulant.

My father used to talk about 'Scratch-building' his WWII dioramas and model vehicles/tanks. While you could use a phrase like 'Scratch-cooked' rather than cooking from scratch, I've never heard but someone would not think the former meant something different to the latter.

I see what you did there. (cromulant was coined in a Simpsons episode)

I've heard "scratch-made" applied to cooking before.

As a native English speaker I can tell you it's not normal phrasing. You're not taking crazy pills.

There’s also Google Sans Code, the monospace companion of Google Sans family.

Seems whatever I had disabled earlier is still disabled on my install of FF 145.

I do have these additional settings.

Been using wBlock for a while. It blocks ads pretty well, supports custom blocklists and userscripts and does get rid of entire DOM nodes containing ad elements instead of leaving annoying empty elements. Compared to Adguard, you do lose cosmetic filtering but gain better battery life.

You can still dodge the bullet by saying this is an “unofficial” client using which may violate an unknown amount of compliance bullet points.

This is how I approach my stories as well. I used to call this “action plan” way before it became fashionable with the rise of AI agents.

It helps me not only reduce the complexity into more manageable chunks but go back to business team for smoothening the rough edges which would otherwise require a rework after review.

Excellent, I like offline players best.

I loved Affinity v1 suite's offline activation model. Sadly that changed in v2 and the same thing is happening now.

Is there any hope to enable activating v2 offline? That way I can still install and use it when you eventually shutdown the activation server.

I understand why this is important. I’ll try my best to see what we can do :) Thank you for the great feedback.

It would be great to patch the v2 apps into an "offline mode." Then you don't have to worry about maintaining the license servers.

+1, I'm still on v1, partially because it required no account, no tether to the developer to activate. Just a straightforward purchase. I give them money, they give me an activation key, and our relationship is OVER. Why companies keep insisting on complicating this with accounts and online activations, I'll never know and never agree to.

tldr;

It is all apps combined in one. It is free. Requires Canva account. AI features require Canva Premium subscription. No iPad app (yet). Still missing RTL support.

I’ve been using wBlock and it is fantastic. It supports nearly identical functionality as compared to uBlock Origin Lite.
