Not great.

Yes, but I would still need Windows for that. I meant I could remove Windows/Mac entirely from my life except that I need access to Adobe products.

Microsoft is beginning to suffer from the long term effects of replacing upper level engineers with sales managers. Windows is in much the same place as VMware right now. A still useful product currently controlled by people who don’t understand it and who are solely focused on making the line go up.

It really began when the injunction preventing them from bundling services expired between Windows 7 & 8.

If Adobe would put its products on Linux I wouldn’t need Windows (or Mac) anymore. Unfortunately a lot of my work still requires being able to open things in Indesign and XD.

If I am reading this correctly the Linux kernel needs to give more fucks…

What’s this ‘cutting’ nonsense??? The shelf is a feature!!!

I have a degree and 15 years experience in web development. The last 6 have seen me move up a bit to doing more full stack and team lead things. I specialize in front-end UI/UX and API middleware.

I’ve been looking for 8 months… I’ve applied for over 100 positions and had one first round interview.

There is definitely trouble in the CS job market right now. I spoke to a recruiter who had no new jobs on their desk in two months.

Decades old assumptions biased toward print rather than web based design.

I think it’s more that MS always tries to hit all the demographics at once. People who really need it are going to use Quark, Adobe, Corel, or something more use case specific. People who don’t are going to be fine with Pages, Writer, Word, etc. the few times they need something more powerful than a word processor. Publisher ended up in the “no-man’s-land” in the middle.

Word is far older than Publisher and is meant as a desktop publishing application.

More importantly though, Publisher is EOL.

You just need to change the image to “wrap through” or “wrap behind”. In Word it’s usually under the “Wrap Text” option when right-clicking on the image.
