It’s really a double edged sword that there’s no mechanism against trying again and again and again until it finally goes through.

So why isn’t it competitive?

Because it’s made by volunteers, in their free time, who either don’t have the time or skill or goal to make it competitive. But I wrote that a couple of times already and you continue to ignore it. So much for ‘not seeing my point’.

It doesn’t follow patterns that similar software follows, because they’re used to it, so everyone else should be too.

If someone is not able or willing to learn their way around something new, that’s literally their problem. Why would it need to be similar? If you want Photoshop, well then use Photoshop. Sometimes doing something different might also end up being the better idea. Won’t know until you tried.

And yes, good software is good code. That’s just a fact. Because otherwise you inevitably end up stuck and need to refractor the whole thing, instead of adding new features. And then angry people start complaining how you’re not competitive, and oh my.

Have a nice day.

It is the next best completely free alternative. Whether people like it or not.

GIMP has had literally decades of development and even with Photoshop in the worst state it’s ever been in, it isn’t competitive.

How is that an argument? How do you get the idea that GIMP is basically required to be competitive, just because it’s old? Completely disregarding the fact it’s made by volunteers vs a billion dollar company. And also completely disregarding the fact that Photoshop is even older than GIMP. By your own logic, just going by age, how can they be competitive when they are half a decade younger than PS?

Rewriting the whole thing would sure help. But not with the “I’m not going to help, fuck off” community.

Ok

Nobody is acting shocked. Least the people who learned to use GIMP.

The problem is people like you who are outraged, when asking for a free Photoshop alternative, that the next best thing is not to their likening.

And yes “consider fixing it yourself” is absolutely a valid response for GIMP issues because GIMP is made by volunteers For Photoshop it a bullshit response because it’s made by a billion dollar company which charges you for the development and use.

It’s a bit lunatic, but it’s arguably the only way forward. GIMP doesn’t have a multi billion dollar company behind - only volunteers.

Expecting the developers to have the capacity and skill to emulate the features and looks of Photoshop (and quickly, please) - in their free time - is even more lunatic.

Voted via mail weeks ago. Doing my part!

If it’s not genocide Netanjahu doesn’t have to fear the ICC. And the fastest way to get out of this, would be to go to trial and make his case.

Makes you wonder why he’s so angry about it.

Social media fatigue is slowly getting traction. I don’t have an article or study at hand to back it up, but I read about it the other day. Especially in younger generations it’s a trend already.

Also, but that’s only my personal theorie, i think it’s a trend only among the less-hateful people. Hateful people nonstop spewing their vile messages everywhere is making “normal” people leave, which then turns off even more “normal” people.

The enraged slowly turning (unmoderated) social media into one big echo chamber.

The propaganda outlet of the “Party for Socialism and Liberation” twists history in Chinas favor. Shocker. Defending Russias war in Ukraine too, of course

Despicable.

What’s the questions-to-answers ratio to make it acceptable to write “CEO here” in a topic, in your opinion?

How much and what would he need to post so damage control would have been done (and successfull) in your eyes?

Just asking in case I become a CEO and see someone having a solvable issue with my company’s sercice.

No. The FDP loves to talk about legalization. Once it’s legalized they lose one of their main talking points for young voters.

Yes, that would be a Google killer. If you somehow find the money to provide it for free.

Finding a novel way of searching is one thing. Finding a novel way of financing the whole endeavor (and not going the exact route Google is) is another.

All kinds of IPO don’t live up to their expectations. Facebook went down hard back in the day, for example.

Ha, correct. Originally I wanted to write how many beer cans/bottles, which are mostly 0,5L here. Then I decided against it, and mind abscently made the multiplication into the other direction.

The L/annum means “pure” alcohol. Nobody is drinking 1,2L of pure alcohol an evening. That’s the equivalent of 3L 40% Schnaps, or 12L 24L 5% beer.

That technicality aside, alcohol is incredibly expensive in Türkiye. It’s basically west European prices by now (for beer), and even more expensive than western Europe for everything else. Also the numbers are probably higher than the 1,2L because a lot of people started making their own alcohol - because of the cost of buying it from the markets.

Not only doesn’t he like the peasants winning, he also doesn’t like to be reminded that the peasants are indeed in power - because his lordship relies a lot more on them than vice versa.

The 90s ended 23 years ago. And to not just live through but also “care” about MsS doings in the 90s someone needs to be even older.

Its really not that far fetched that a lot of younger people may see MS in a more positive way than you do apparently.

Anekdotisch (was witzig ist im Rahmen deines Nutzernames) weiß ich von mehreren (sehr) großen deutschen und europäischen Firmen die für bestimmte Angestellten-Gruppen die Policy haben keine oder nur komplett verschlüsselte Laptops mit nach China zu nehmen.
