  • I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp.

    Jump

  • I would argue that there's also lots of professionals who don't use or need those features. Not everyone is using photoshop for print work, which that link seems to mostly discuss. It is still true, though, and every time I try to switch away from photoshop I run into some niche missing feature I need that most people wouldn't care about.

  • You may be surprised. I use Photoshop in my profession and I am desperately trying to move away from it. Not just because of the obvious Adobe is the worst, but it has been getting progressively worse to use for me. I don't speak for everyone of course but at least for me there's really only a few very small things that would make me switch instantly.

    Photoshop just infuriates me lately, you'd think with all their employees they'd figure out how not to lose my hotkeys every automatic update, or that I've been using it for over a decade and don't need annoying tutorial popups for every tool.

    The priorities of a large company can often be opposed to making their software better, like adding AI into everything or adding new features nobody really needs so they can have a flashy presentation at some conference, or deprecating features in order to move people to their latest acquisitions program instead.

    Blender is a great example of open source being totally viable for replacing commercial software. I use it professionally and it's never been a limiting factor for me.

  • This is very common for a lot of these programs, I'm not actually sure about Gimp, but Photoshop, Krita and Affinity Photo all let you. Same with a lot of the other digital art programs I use for work.

  • This is awesome, I hope more places do this, or at least put much greater restrictions on it.

  • Four in five people want more climate action: UN survey

    Jump

  • Don't be such a pessimist. There are plenty of people who want climate action and are prepared to sacrifice for it. We can also demand more from our governments without blaming individuals. My government keeps approving new coal and gas plants with reckless abandon even though they could easily be wind or solar. We're allowed to demand more action from them.

  • Obviously I'd prefer it if you didn't eat animals but I'm actually chill with just being more mindful about what you support. If you're going out of your way to try and minimise the harm you're doing then that's better than most people.

    And at least you recognise the environmental harm. The only thing that really annoys me is people lying about these things.

  • They might not like it but they sure do tolerate it happening to an animal they like the taste of and don't actually have to see it themselves.

  • I didn't choose to ignore anything. I just have a life outside of being an annoying vegan.

    You already knew what I was going to say, though. I'm personally against wool products because they breed sheep specifically to grow unhealthy amounts of wool and once the few good coats they have in them are gone they send them off to be killed for food anyway.

    Sheep can also be mistreated during the shearing process, and since shearers are often paid per sheep they're incentivised to rush through them.

    I'm not going to use the word rape here since I don't think it applies.

    Have I activated any trap cards?

  • I guess I don't agree with you. If I buy a product that specifically requires the death of an animal I would feel like I am responsible for the death of that animal and monetarily incentivising the death of other animals.

    If I pay a hitman to kill someone I am not innocent of murder.

    You don't get to support an industry that kills animals and then say you're not responsible for the death of animals.

  • Without getting into a semantics debate on what rape is. The reason the word is used is because dairy cows are impregnated by fisting the cows asshole and stimulating their cervix before squirting a semen gun into their vagina. The cows cannot consent to this so the word rape is used. Some people might not consider it rape for whatever reason and yes, the word was probably chosen to be provocative. But that's the explanation.

  • Yeah, I used a metaphor to help explain how you can be found responsible for something even if you didn't do the thing yourself.

  • You realise that veal is often just the calves taken from dairy cows, right? If you drink milk you are already supporting veal. They're killed anyway, it's just the difference between them being discarded or being sold.

  • Ok, so because you're being needlessly pedantic here is the comparison.

    I am not directly responsible for the wars and murders my government commits because of the reasons I stated above. But if they had a big bucket that said 'put money in this big bucket to directly support the wars and murders of your government' and I were to put money in of my own free will - then yes I would be directly responsible for those wars and murders.

    If I do not put money in I am not directly responsible.

    That's the difference between paying taxes and buying a bottle of cow milk.

  • You can't really compare the two things. You have limited control over how your taxes are spent, you can vote on how you want them spent and protest the actions of your government, but outside of that it's not up to you.

    With milk, though, you are directly financing it by buying the product, and the product wouldn't exist without those things happening. So you are in effect a 'conspirator to cow rape' since your demand incites the act.

  • It's like if you pay a hitman to do some murders for you. Are you a murderer? I guess not technically, but 'conspirator to commit murder' doesn't have the same ring to it. Thus we just opt for rapist, since you support an industry that annually rapes cows and kills their calves so that you can enjoy a tall glass of cow juice.

    It's ok if that's what you want to do. No judgement here.
