GIMP is missing such basic, basic features and things, that I genuinely wonder what's going on with the development or how anyone uses it for anything other than basic editing. It's nice that it's free and open though I guess

No. Not Mastodon either. It's like how some say "linux is an alternative to windows", as much as some people wish it was, it's simply not.

Anyone have recommendations for setting up a mini home server to download and store torrented movies? I want something that "kinda just works", like what hardware and software? Only for movies I have consent and rights to torrent,

As much as I love the little guy beating the big evil company, I hope the lawsuit doesn't cause anything to happen to copilot. Maybe some changes, like better protection against emitting 1:1 licensed code or opting out your code from t

I use Wikipedia a lot and will never, ever donate a single dollar unless there's radical changes (that we know we'll never happen). If there was a better alternative to Wikipedia without all it's beaurocratic and managerial B

I like it - a little feedback, I was very hesitant to put in my email to "subscribe" to a generic looking mailing list. The only reason I did is because I read your comment here. Might be worth looking into improving. Maybe give s

Both of these statements are untrue. >People don't generally paint in photoshop EVERYONE uses photoshop in the painting/art world. Seriously, almost everyone. It's the best app for it, and the only reason people use others

In other places, like Africa or Asia, or just anywhere without a white majority, does the inverse exist? E.g. giving white people special treatment in hiring because they're a minority there? If the idea is logically consistent, based

Kim is quite famous in the art world. I remember a livestream where people sent it challenging ideas of things to draw, and he just casually draws them, entirely from memory, no references or googling of any images. Died way too young.

How dystopian does it sound that a "eSafety Commissioner" decides what is "harmful" for you to look at. A food safety commissioner banning harmful food is good, but this is an unelected person deciding what we can and ca

I don't think skin colour is comparable to disabilities. I don't agree with grouping and separating people based on race so you can treat them differently. I agree some people need extra resources given to them, race should have n

Only the base model, and it's gone from bad to less bad? I can forgive that designing a phone to be easily repairable can be very hard, just as long as you don't purposely make it harder to repair, or unnecessarily expensive.

I find this anti racism, itself racist, it's like: oh you have a certain skin colour? Aww you must need our help and special treatment. What if you had to lay off either a Black person from a rich, well educated family, vs a white pers

A.I projects (and maybe all python projects in general) seem to always be ridiculously tedious, error-prone to get running, such that its a rare, celebratory thing when someone releases something that's easy to use like this?

There's some small satisfaction and fulfillment from reaching the bottom of a page. Each page is like a breakpoint, imagine if books were 1 long page.

I'd hope if you're in a life or death situation, and not paying, they'd still let you use it. Imagine finding a dead body in the wilderness with a note saying they could've called for help if apple let them. Seems very t

Things like the big bang seem to be things after the beginning of the universe. In the same way, the issue with a god is "who created god, and who created that who created god...". If he's eternal, who/what made him eter

Some kind of actual measurements/tests would be nice, like put up a 14kb and 15kb+ page and measure them to demonstrate the apparent speed difference really exists.

I believe to create AI, we need to first simulate the universe. It's the only way that makes sense to me apart from some magical algorithm people think will be discovered. I'm doubtful we'll reach it in our lifetimes, true AI

Things the media publish/say generally go on to be used as sources in Wikipedia. Mostly in the less scientific pages, and the more political/social pages. This has lead me to really sceptical of things I read on Wikipedia, given y
