  • Fatima Houssana and 9 of her family members murdered 24 hours after film accepted in Cannes festival

  • The skinhead can be partially right about some things even if they're monstrously wrong about the overall picture and what conclusions they draw. A neonazi would probably also say the earth is round, that doesn't mean it isn't true.

    What, in particular, did that poster say that is so wrong? Are their numbers off? Did the other genocides not happen?

    edit: To be clear: I'm talking about the poster you're replying to here, not the deleted post above b/c who even knows what that said.

  • Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately?

  • Anti-intellectualism has been on the rise for decades and spelling gets worse? I am shocked I tell you!

    Also: inb4 the "language evolves!" crowd arrives.

  • I get the feeling it's the native speakers who are the worst offenders. The ones using English as a second language at the very least made an effort to learn the language.

  • Who is whining though?

    This is another one of those echo chamber memes complaining about "those people" where "those people" don't really exist in reality.

    Remember that one posted in this very community a week or so ago complaining about "Microsoft evangelists" as if that's even a thing? I do.

  • All of that is irrelevant to an end user. They have the choice between tool A which is free but developing very slowly, or tool B which is paid but has all of the stuff they need.

    99.99% will choose tool B and rightfully so.

    Case in point: Serif isn't currently rewriting their old stuff, they already did 10 years ago. Affinity photo/designer/etc have been out for a decade.

  • Whether you are a graphic designer, photographer, illustrator, or scientist, GIMP provides you with sophisticated tools to get your job done. You can further enhance your productivity with GIMP thanks to many customization options and 3rd party plugins.

    Right off their front page.

  • Again with this tired excuse. "It's free therefore everybody should just accept subpar software".

    You know what else is free? Gonorrhea. Doesn't mean it's something I should want, nor is anyone who isn't an STI researcher barred from saying it blows.

    Just to be clear, I don't give a rat's ass what anyone uses to do their editing. Suit yourself. Just don't expect others to follow suit and sing the praises of a thing just because it's FOSS.

  • Your boss is also paying for time spent troubleshooting, which is why industry standards are a thing. People can help each other out, common issues only have to be solved once and the general pool of issues is smaller.

    I work with 12 artists who all use maya. There's enough troubleshooting to do on just that. Having some of them use blender, others modo, etc would be a nightmare.

    I can guarantee you not one person in our company is concerned with Adobe's stock price, yet everyone is on Creative Cloud. Industry standards are the logical result of groups of people trying to get shit done, not some clandestine conspiracy to increase Adobe's profits.

  • and GIMP dev actually planning to add shape tool.

    Gimp's first version released in 1998. Do you find it surprising that people aren't impressed by plans to add basic tools after nearly 30 years when the competition has stuff like content-aware filling and automatic layer separation?

    There are many valid arguments against using Adobe products, or for using open source editing software. Productivity and ease of use are not one of them.

  • Running on socially progressive platform alone will not win elections.

  • Remind me: what was that thing that the Biden admin spent the a lot of time doing/attempting to do regarding student debt? And was it or was it not the exact thing OP's meme claims the dems aren't doing?

    Or shall we have a look at the healthcare plan that ended up becoming Obamacare after getting nerfed a thousand times by a Republican Congress? Was that not doing something about medical bills as OP's meme claims?

    To ignore all of the stuff dems have been doing and then talk about "realistic" is... Well. It's something.

  • Right, so in your version of this world, who is the fascist? Germany?

  • White House Correspondents’ Association cancels plans to have a comedian headline annual dinner

    Jump

  • They exist. They're just not recognized as comedians by those not in the cult because normal people don't see kicking down as humor.

  • Poland pushes for EU to scrap daylight saving time

  • Ain't that right. Going through it with our first this week and I get it. Of course the little guy is ticked off. He's feeling all of the confusion and tiredness we are without knowing or enjoying any of the benefits.

  • Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion

    Jump

  • Yeah so are about a thousand other people who worked on the franchise/product in question and may be very positive influences on the world.

    Trying to deny a literal billionaire money is symbolic at best.

  • Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion

    Jump

  • There's about a thousand and one other people involved with the franchise after 8 movies, 3 spinoff movies, a play and a dozen or so videogames.

    Rowling is pretty much irrelevant to the fandom and people aren't into the HP stuff because of her.

  • Yeah you just can't be in a server room anymore without some dude trying to sell you on Office365 and Cortana, sigh.

  • It's less uneducated thinking and more "here's a thing I read online that I can parrot to show that I am more rational than others".

    That statistic could be entirely unfounded and people would still be repeating it because it serves their purposes. Internet nerds love gotchas.

    That aside, fully agreed regarding the level of control. It's a little like saying "people have - and therefore you have - an x% chance of getting lung cancer" while completing ignoring that a huge portion of that is a direct result of only some people's behaviour, namely smoking.

    The people driving defensively, sober and attentively are not likely to be the ones folding themselves around a roadside tree.

  • Not really. But you know, gotta find ways to feel smarter than other people so here we go.

  • Tesla Owner Doxing Site ‘Dogequest’ Relaunches on Dark Web

    Jump

  • And just like that we're now all focused on the couple of (quite frankly) idiots that are burning consumers' Teslas instead of the unsold ones at dealerships. Again. Just like every discussion of a protest is not about the tens of thousands of people protesting but about the 10 people looting.

    Looks like the attempt to control the narrative is working as expected.
