Well your response did not exactly incentivize me to respond with sincerity. You're right though, I'm an idiot for having user preferences!

I don't mean clone, I mean copy the good ideas the obvious ones like docking panels re-arrange the menu a bit. If this had happened years ago I think GIMP would have become more popular with a more accessible interface. Hamburger menus

This still blows my mind a bit - yes literally they should just copy Photoshop because everyone knows how to use it. Menus are fine, any complex tool has lots of menus. I have been wishing for a photoshop-like GUI frontend for GIMP for 20 y

The value here is to improve legibility of body copy, e.g. code, not headlines, where optical spacing rules change, so the example choice is odd. This definitely makes sense for programming, I would like to see this in Jet Brains Mono.

Great points. Obviously its about maximum profit, and it's 8GB only because they can get away with it with virtual memory and 3GB/s SSDs making swap mostly unnoticeable to the end user - the side effect being for heavy users in a

Horse shit. What Apple wants to happen is for you to eat into your soldered SSD's endurance (TBW) through virtual memory swapping out RAM to your storage volume so that you Buy More Stuff. I investigated my unexpectedly high disk write

Making quake mods when I was 12 got me interested in programming. I think my last one was 'Tellytubbies: Must Die'. It was fun making maps, models, textures and editing sounds of teletubbies in pain.

Potentially good news perhaps for the future of Hackintosh. Contributors have got ryzen integrated GPU hardware accelerated with new drivers, so perhaps MacOS ARM on non-apple silicon is a possibility.

The interview Dawkins had with the Indian metaphysician (I forgot the name) made me realize how blinded Dawkins is by his material-reductionist belief system. Dawkins appeared to have no idea what the man was talking about because his belie

After hunting around for some footage of it in action, it looks like you're going to end up with lots of improperly exposed images and a clunky UI. It is going to be far more practical to simply buy a Sony A7 type mirrorless body and s

"It's a rhetorical question though - effective organization appears hard to scale especially when there is no money involved." I agree with you, growing beyond a single small team is another game entirely

Although this wasn't my point – that forks are pointless –, I agree.

Apologies, that flippant comment was super rude and juvenile and I am taking it as a signal that I really need a break, I don't normally speak in this way. Yikes. Also totally fair, I shouldn't be hastily writing comments but I am

I've been trying out all the firefox forks that come out and end up back on master Firefox (on desktop, Mull wins on Android IMO) due to the inevitable limits of developer time on the project. The value proposition is never quite worth

It is by no means irrational to hesitate on a new major release of an Apple operating system. MacOS upgrades have caused many people all kinds of issues, for instance a Big Sur update broke a metric fuckton of USB-C hubs and they didn'

Have a look at SerenityOS, it's early days but I think it's a truly awesome project and expecting good things in future years. It's a completely new OS. The founder just hired two developers full time which is promising
