  • GIMP 3.0.6 Released

    Jump

  • you forgot paint shop pro! but yeah you illustrate a good point; gimp is at least 10 years behind adobe/affinity/photopea. i'm honestly not sure if the things i need can be done in gimp because tutorial content is few and far between. there are probably no comparison videos because few professionals if any are willing to stick around gimp long enough to master it on such a level that they could put together a video that is honest or correct, and they would probably not want to make a video showing how gimp is crap as that is usually the opposite of a goal post here; i mean, absolutely no one likes Adobe and mostly everyone actually wish gimp was a replacement that could become a new industry standard because fuck Adobe.

  • i think professionals just aren't the target demography for the gimp contributors.

  • no he's definitely right. there is a reason affinity suit has been successful and it isn't because its commercially available, it's because it actually works as an adobe replacement whereas gimp, inkacape, scribus - does not, and its largely because of UI.

    now that affinity has sold to canva and shut down sale and there is a clear concern over the future of affinity, people won't be moving to gimp, which has had what, two decades to fix their stuff? no, they'll be moving to photopea, again, for the same reasons. graphite.rs likewise is more at odds of potentially replacing illustrator/designer than inkscape has managed for over a decade.

    i hate that i can't use gimp, inkacape, and scribus professionally. and not for a lack of trying, giving them a few months every few years. but, its what it is.

    i hope gimp becomes great one day.

  • bluey is probably one of if not the best childrens TV ever written though, and it's not just about teaching kids lessons, it also teaches us parents a lot. i know plenty of parents who will watch bluey even by themselves.

    but its not a disney show and available other networks as well.

  • i pay $20 a year for basically all of that and even more stuff but open source provided and maintained by a local server company in my country. of course i don't use half of their offerings because some stuff has alternatives more suited for the platform or its simply not needed. but e.g. their service offers nextcloud which has most of the stuff you listed bundled into the platform by default. and then they have another 50 services added on top available for use.

  • Is there a tablet with a laptop grade processor that will run Linux well?

    Jump

  • starlite runs the n100 and n200 cpus. the cpus are pretty great (have an n100 on my nuc). the problem with linux is the touch interface first and foremost imo. i have an old windows tablet converted to linux and its a daily headache. well, was. i haven't used the thing for months.

  • you could account share? most services banned account sharing last year afaik.

    and anyway; how is it a bad thing to reject predatory services?

    piracy wad literally always a service problem. they solved it by netflix monopoly providing a great service people wanted and piracy was practically dead for an entire decade - then they all got greedy and we're all headed back to piracy.

    the solution here seems pretty obvious, and i think even the execs are aware of it.

  • Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegal

    Jump

  • the absolute volume of people who complain daily about how shit facebook groups are for organizing community information and discussion is radical. most of my hobby associations moved to fb groups from traditional forums and now they are dying partly because there is no longer any meaningful discussions due to facebook structure and partly because people are joining there instead of a membership, and partly because facebook decided to kill all animal based hobbies around 3 years ago just as they had all migrated to the platform. and STILL people won't move to a new one. the hobbies are literally dying because the hobby activity is banned on facebook and its STIlL there. because the platform literally can't supply that which it needs while also profiting from the flow algorithms. but do you see anyone switching? nope. they are doubling down on using the wrong tool for the task and it's even growing in users because it just happens to be where the users are. it's a catch-22. if there was a mass migrate to a superior platform people would switch in a heartbeat because there is a mass migration to a superior platform.

  • people won't actively seek to break the law just because something sucks. if that was the case we wouldn't have things like facebook or twitter or tiktok.
