Just a bastard roaming around the world

  • Well, the main thing from Brad is reviewing tech for artists and showing how the product is used, so video makes sense. Videos like this are not that usual.

  • Nope, I used to pay for Tidal and I liked that app but it has no Wear OS app. They do have one for Apple Watch but I dont like Apple much.

  • Are there any other music service that has a decent Wear OS app? Spotify allows me to download and listen to my music offline, and the app is not too bad.

  • Sure, no problem. People get agitaded because it gets recommended over and over again, and gimp is a piece of software that does not deserve this kind of recognition, at all. It should either be completely revamped and get a new name, or completely forgotten in favor of better alternatives like Krita.

  • Oh,you want arguments? I'll give you arguments:

    • prehistoric interface.
    • the stupid thing don't have CMYK mode, the most basic thing needed if you work with graphics.
    • lack of adjusting layers a.k.a. non-destructive editing.
    • It will lock up and lose your work for apparently no reason. I lost a graphic due to a crash because I made the incredibly challenging action of changing a font. It also cannot handle big files at all.
    • It's so. Fucking. Slow.
    • That stupid, infantile, childish, emotionally stunted name.

    There's more but I'm not in the mood of reliving the time I had with this turd.

    "Oh but they have X features on the roadmap". Yeah, and today is the year of Linux on desktop. I don't care. I need a functional software now, not in some undisclosed future.

  • Gimp is a gigantic piece of shit that should never be recommended. Krita is the way, even Photopea is better.

  • Companies throw away perfectly good food because if someone ever get sick for eating they will find themselves liable and sued. It's dumb, but that's the game.

  • My guess is that he wants to put his hands on the tech behind OpenAI success to somehow use it on his Robotaxis thing.

  • Got it, thanks!

  • OK... ELI3? Why is this a big deal, and what is the feature/bug fix?

  • I missed that, my bad.

  • ...until a botched update or a bug sends everything to the cloud, MS makes an about face saying oops my bad, then say it was fixed.

  • You know that's not what "native" means, right? Nevermind, me moron can not read.

  • Yep. To me it was the lack of a working fingerprint reader.

  • Mine doesn't have Car mode anymore, it stopped working a couple of weeks ago.

  • ELI5?

  • This is hilarious, scrambling to get a golden parachute and live off some trust fund from the sale. The sad part is that they will probably get that.

  • Unless there's a "database failure" that would resurface screenshots from your PC on Microsoft's cloud, or anything like that. I mean, its too many lines of code, what if something happened and oops, the local data was uploaded to your Onedrive, my bad, keep using our products, this will never happen again we swear.

    The only way to be sure is not having it at all. Remember the CSAM filter Apple wanted to force on iOS? This is as bad as that.

  • IF that's an option and IF it don't turn itself on after an update. Given Microsoft's history I wouldn't trust that. They invested way too much in AI to afford making it easy for the user not to use the feature.
