    Honestly, I make an effort to learn some basic phrases in the language of any country I visit, in no small part to simply not get put in the same category as those who don’t bother.

    That and some of the more fun holiday memories I’ve got over the years started by me fumbling through the local language—as you say, most people are magnitudes more friendly if you don’t give the impression you think everyone should speak your language


  • I was going to say that Affinity, DxO and DaVinci are right there as free/non-subscription options.

    But yeah, going open source is even better, though sometimes a bit of a workflow shift if you’re already used to something like lightroom and you go for darktable, for example. There’s also Rawtherapee for photos but I never tried that one.

    I hear kdenlive is a very capable NLE, though I don’t do much video work myself, so I’ve not used it.

    InDesign has never struck me as doing much different than any other DTP software, of which there’re plenty of open source options, scribus gets cited a lot

    Inkscape has always been pretty decent for vector stuff

    Audition has never been much more than a fancy audacity
