I’m no thermodynamics expert, but wouldn’t this make your house warmer overall, unless the freezer is outside or in a garage/shed?

It also looks vaguely like a dildo, which is cool.

Can’t wait for an AI toaster that asks me to prompt it on toastiness levels

The September Revolution

They didn’t say “I had a bad experience”, they said “their service is trash”. You don’t get to say something sweepingly false and then hide behind “it was my experience”.

That seems odd. I’ve replied all to more than two people on many occasions.

Totally understandable in your case. I’d like to see GIMP merge the PhotoGIMP project and make further modifications to bring the app more in line with current best practices. They could make the “classic” vs “modern” UI toggle-able on first launch. Its underlying functionality is not bad, but it’s just so far outside of what people are used to today. It’s like like asking a random 20-year-old to use dialup and Netscape Navigator.

I also find that intuitive is a relative term. Relative based on your own experience.

That’s a very good point. As a counterpoint though, pretty much every other app (Affinity Photo, Photopea, even Krita to a certain extent) emulates the PS workflow, which makes GIMP feel even more odd. Its paradigm was probably OK in the early 00s but the world has moved on.

I was using Mac OS 9 at the time! But PS 7’s workflow was already pretty similar to what it is today, and far more intuitive than GIMP which I tried for the first time in 2006-ish.

It works exactly like Photoshop always did.

Unequivocally false (source: been a PS user since version 7)

Somebody whose job or context prevents them from saying what they really think (something along the lines of “that person is a fucking moron”)

I’ll stick to EndeavourOS, thanks

I love Todoist and use it every day, but that may not be the use case you had in mind.

I didn’t know that! Although I don’t pay for SL, I get it as part of my Proton sub.

For example you can’t adjust spacing between paragraphs at all. I think that’s because it’s unsupported in the SVG spec rather than an Inkscape issue, but still. Adding printer’s marks is also a total shitshow.

I will say however that Inkscape vs. Illustrator is the closest matchup of the three Adobe design apps. I like Inkscape and use it whenever I can to avoid firing up my Windows VM.

Great link, thanks for that. We should also note that those are only combatants and don’t include the far larger number of civilians who dies because of these conflicts (Holocaust, Siege of Stalingrad, etc.)

I agree that the last 50 years, in terms of “war deaths per capita”, must be the most peaceful in all of recorded history, and probably by a huge margin.

I couldn’t paint to save my life, so I didn’t know about that aspect. How does Krita stack up?

If you have a paid plan you can generate SimpleLogin aliases directly when generating a login on a webpage. It’s a very nice feature.

The only apps I’ve used that come even remotely close are those by Serif/Affinity, but even they don’t have feature parity. They were also just bought out by Canva and will likely become fully enshittified soon.

If you just want to crop and adjust levels, GIMP is fine. If you want to clone stamp or replace backgrounds etc (or of course work with motion graphics) then there’s no comparison. Nondestructive editing has been a huge drawback for GIMP since its inception but they are finally adding that, which is good. I’m not even sure if they’ve added CMYK support. Text editing is also godawful. I could go on, but for real work, it just isn’t the same at all.

People who say they are interchangeable is like saying an e-bike is the same as a pickup truck. If you just need to commute downtown, they can both work. But if you need to move a half ton of crushed stone, they are not comparable.
