I think we all know why, we just don't like it.

I don't know if it's the same, but KISS launcher has been amazing for me. I have only like 4 or 5 utility stuff on the small favorites bar and everything else is hidden. If I truly need something that isn't in my favorites, I

If paying more money for back-breaking work is going to result in more automation, we should welcome it. There's no way that I will stand on the side arguing that unemployment is worse than slavery. But yeah, if they raise the wage for

Yeah, I can't believe they would forget that it's activated honey that converts to energy. Normal honey acts the same as sugar pretty much.

When I see stuff like this, it always makes me cringe and I get this visceral feeling that humans(including me) are really dumb. People spend almost a thousand dollars on some phones, and at first it's always magical and they use it as

Would've appreciated this more if she could be talked about as herself and not as "Elon Musk's girlfriend".

Can't have cake and eat it too. Isn't it better to suffer a little for the moral good? Basically, what countries like the Phillippines are saying is that money matters much more than good, and they don't care what the future

I feel that it's an institutional problem in the U.S. Leaving cultural issues aside, if people were being taken care of, they would less likely have such an antagonistic relationship with society(which includes government, businesses,

Personally id like to do business with countries who dont do business with countries that have concentration camps or the like. Is there any like that anymore?

I am anything but anti-socialist. Just pointing out that i can see why you dont care about what these poor, usually mentally ill people do with money given to them out of good will, since its not your money and you have no stake. Edit: Want

Do you know if they were paid a wage worthy of destroying your back for? Or is it in our best interest to subject brown people to slave tier labor for little pay?

Im totally shocked that someone who doesnt give to those in need is okay with them using panhandling money for alcohol or drugs. Its always okay when its not your own money.

This. Goods are real, once they get it, they gotta do something with it. As soon as the donation model becomes money only, they can start filling their pockets wider while also buying less and lesser quality goods for those in need. Yikes.

Thats an interesting point. I suppose the female variant of womanizer is a "maneater". It will be cool to see what directon they go with her. But it wouldve been even cooler if she made a name for herself with a name or code that

It will be worth it to see if they'll still pull that much after this change. Can't wait

I think this would be really great for kids who want to take control of their own learning and do them without the need of total access to the teacher. If I had a choice to do my learning some days on my own in a private area at a computer

Preemptively gonna say that your site is likely going to receive the HN tug of death.

Very worried. Good time to start reprioritizing things in my life.

by siphon22 7y ago
Sure, but you want them to do it right and are willing to fight for it right? If they end up having to do it due to those pressures, that is very much having their hand forced.

I'm going to jump in and say this. Let's be real here. You can't even make a circle in GIMP without jumping through various hoops. Right now, the hurdle for those professionals is just the name, but wait until you see when th

You think >"Let's see in the end which program will prosper." is snark? I guess snark is also in the eye of the beholder.

I most certainly am not arguing in bad faith. The last sentence is an utterance of my own personal feeling about things. But objectively I could see why the name of the other project you mentioned would be an issue. Regrettably, that term i

Well yes, for me in California and much of the non-English speaking world, before this "issue" was brought up had no idea what "gimp" was. If anything, the pro-change side has done nothing except raise the awareness of t

Snark is not acceptable on HN. And yes, making an established project change their name is destroying everything they had done for it under that name. They will have to start over from scratch and it will take years to reach the same level

That particular word is a bit more ubiquitous even internationally so I'd say there's a huge difference.

by siphon22 7y ago
They should do that, instead of destroying over 20 years of work to make their name. Let's see in the end which program will prosper.

For the vast majority of the non-English world, GIMP means nothing except what it stands for, and the same goes for me. You have to note, "gimp" and "GIMP" mean completely different things.

GIMP is free software, so maybe they can just fork it and rename it :P
