  • What is your favourite shell to use

    Jump

  • V1 never actually shipped with any version of Windows

    Windows 7 shipped with V2, 8 with V3, 8.1 with v4, and 10 with v5 and later 5.1.

    5.1 is the latest (and last) version of Windows PowerShell.

    All versions after that are just PowerShell (or PowerShell Core for version 6)

    Not sure why they don't bundle it by default, but starting at v7.2 it can be updated by Windows update

  • Just looking at it briefly it looks a lot like PowerShell, any reason to use it over PowerShell?

  • PowerShell, with zsh being a close second

  • Honestly, the only reason I'm not using a non-SystemD distro is this is my first time actually going all in and having larger communities to help with issues plus just trying to force myself to learn it since it seems like it's not going away

    But yeah, I'm not a fan.

    Working through a networking issue right now and the layers of obfuscation SystemD adds, especially with JournalD, leaves me not really sure where to even look

    It is tempting to say screw it and load up Gentoo on my desktop though

  • GenAI more buzz than biz as tech barely dents jobs

    Jump

  • At a quick glance I'm not seeing anywhere in the article that they think that's what this is... If you're responding to them calling it "GenAI", that's a shortening of "Generative AI", not "General AI"

  • Snapdragon X Elite Reviews are Out: Solid Performance and Great Battery Life | Beebom

  • Are you suggesting that all computer hardware is going to be branded as such?

  • Don't try this at /home

  • Because SystemD must do all and will not rest until GNU/Linux becomes SystemD/Linux

  • Apple reportedly has plans for a thinner iPhone, MacBook Pro and Apple Watch

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'd rather have my back panel fingerprint reader back than an even thinner phone, and then there's the pointlessness of making the phone so thin that to have a remotely decent camera they have to add a huge bulge. Just... Make the whole damned thing that thick and use the extra space for, I dunno, more battery maybe?

  • Krita is better for some things but I find Gimp's workflow easier for me in a lot of things

    Krita's Wacom tablet support, though, was way smoother and easier to get working with Krita, which is the main reason I even tried it out

  • I don't know much of anything about Anycubic, but isn't pretty much everything Creality releases open? How are they withholding from the community?

  • Can I get LMDE with xfce instead of cinnamon? And more LMDE questions

  • Out of curiosity, what's the issue with installing a different DE?

  • I can screenshot too

    Note where you said "only ever tried Gimp", when they said they have, in fact, used Photoshop. Additionally, nowhere in that did they say they've not used anything else since then even, just not Photoshop.

    But you think you've made some credible point here, and likely won't back down no matter how wrong you are, so go ahead and respond telling me some twisted logic about why you're right and I'm wrong and I can ignore it so you can walk away thinking you've won some useless internet points.

  • Ctrl + Shift + A

    Jump

  • Same... I think Photoshop would probably feel difficult to me to get my head around at this point since Gimp's workflow is the one I've known and used for over a decade and a half now

  • Ctrl + Shift + A

    Jump

  • I mean, even if that was what they said, that would make it and things that function like it more intuitive to them, wouldn't it? And someone who's used to a different workflow would find it unintuitive.

    So yeah... Intuitive is relative

  • Ctrl + Shift + A

    Jump

  • The problem with that, though, is if they changed the workflow to be like Photoshop, it would leave those of us who know how to use Gimp but not Photoshop high and dry

    Gimp is intuitive to me at this point because I have some idea of how it looks at raster image manipulation from using it off and on for years. I have no clue how to do things in Photoshop that I can do easily in Gimp. It may be the better user experience, I don't know.

    If they ever do that, I really hope they leave the option for it to work like classic Gimp in there, because people like me don't actually do image editing that much overall and relearning would be painful for much longer than someone who can deep immerse themselves until they get it. I'd hate to do it but I think I'd have to stick with an old version if that happened without any way to keep doing things the same way

  • Google, Cloudflare & Cisco Will Poison DNS to Stop Piracy Block Circumvention * TorrentFreak

    Jump

  • Worse, the harder they try to stop it, the shittier the experience gets for their paying customers, but not for the pirates really. At that point, why would anyone want to pay for a crappy experience being treated like a thief when you can save your money and actually be a "thief" (at least in their eyes) while being treated like a paying customer?

  • Like, maybe tiered to something like 5 years: pay what it costs now, 10 years: 10 times that cost, and 15 years: 100 times, with a hard cap at 15? I could get behind that.
