The Wayland developers are the X11 developers. The reason there's no more development on X11 is because everyone got fed up and left for Wayland.

Yes, hair specifically is understandable but other complex objects are just more finicky to select in GIMP, and using those selection tools has a higher friction. I often find myself fiddling with tool settings in GIMP, and those tool optio

It's less that high level users have specific needs and more that the workflow doesn't exist for high level users to worl efficiently. You see this a lot when you listen to what people actually do with GIMP. They either only use i

Krita is old, Blender is old, both have improved themselves with age and thougtful change. GIMP has done nothing but fossilize with age.

It's not about fads. Good UI is evergreen, even if it looks a little dated. GIMP UI is everbrown. You could dress it up in the latest colors and styles and it'll still be awful to use because the foundation is warped and misshapen

It is possible to configure Blender to work this way, it's one of the first things I do on a new install. If I'm remembering right it's under your Navigation preferences.

People have been doing post processing of photographs as long as photographs have existed.

This isn't true. Holes can become unlivable for a species for other reasons than the hole vanishing. The hole still exists, and further the collapse of the species filling it leads other species to collapse, creating growing fissures.

by jdiff 3y ago
This is a borderline nonsensical question, because this isn't something you can solve for X. What those species are and what niche they fill matters quite a lot. Genetic diversity within these species also matters. Countless other th

It makes it way faster when you can right click, hold, and release on the item in one smooth motion. I believe most pro software is like this, it's hardly breaking convention.

I fully realize I'm just talking to myself at this point but I want to get this thought out of my head and add that a big part of Blender's good design specifically comes from its flexibility. Every workspace is built from well-de

Probably is a good thing that they've already been on the case for 5+ years with AV1 then.

As a designer, the absolute warmest take I've seen towards Comic Sans is "It's fine , not good, but fine. But it's so overused and misused that it's become slightly radioactive."

Higher brightness leads to faster wear. If the wear is uneven, this leads to faster burn at higher brightness.

Information can be dense and designed. It's actually more important for dense information to be designed well to avoid devolving into soup. KDE and its many design inconsistencies and automatic collapsing of menus into "... and X

This is exactly the problem. These two things are not at odds. Good design is functional. Good design makes information easy to find and digest. Visual soup is hard to organize and make sense of. Form is a component of function. A knife wit

Many menus are collapsed into "...And X more menu items", menus nested in menus automatically without any thought put into it. You don't need modern styling, you can have thoughtful design while looking like Windows 95. That

Time's too valuable to make that worthwhile, especially when a large amount of them boil down to: Wayland is not X and tools designed for interfacing with X-specific details will not work on Wayland without modification.

Crypto has been a scam from the beginning, the only thing that's changed is the public perception after NFTs bombed massively and crypto was once again left without any use case.

Not quite. Oudewater offered fair scales. What this guy's talking about are still rigged scales, just oppositely rigged scales. The only reason nobody was ever found a witch there was because the underlying concepts were BS.
