They shouldn't be sorry. Canonical is not Microsoft, it can't afford to support legacy software forever. Let Valve support i386 apps for Linux, they definitely have money and resources for it.

Who needs a taxi in Tokyo anyway? Can someone make a taxi-hailing app for inaka (Japanese countryside/less populated areas). You usually need to call a local taxi company there, but it's difficult to get a voice call SIM card for

A simple Drag and drop works. Otherwise, Edit-Paste as New Layer. Not sure why you needed Google for this. Do you know GIMP has it's own search engine by the way? Just press "/" to search various GIMP functionality by ke

How about kill face to face conversation and replace it with IM chat? IRL conversations suck. You can't edit what you say, you can't copy paste technical details into them, speaking is slower than typing and listening is slower th
