I don’t understand why people don’t go for something like ZorinOS or Nobara. Both work great out of the box with support for like everything.

Legalized bribes? HUH?!?

GIMP’s layer system is definitely unique, sadly it hasn’t much in common with the selection tool. In that sense, yes, it is unintuitive when migrating from other apps. I’d argue it’s not that complicated, as gimp even highlights the buttons you should be pressing like a mobile game, but it is a complete non sequitur so back on topic…

If you use “select all” in any program to cancel selections, I don’t know what to tell you. Like ok, GIMP is the jankiest of em all if you do that, no contest, but the rest doesn’t behave correctly either if your expectation is that it’ll work just like it did before you did any selecting. The flashing selection line around the whole page should be a pretty strong indicator of something being different.

Honestly, many GUI program, doesn’t even have to be a raster art program; vector art like illustrator, 3D modeling like maya, some music programs, our custom spreadsheet stuff at work, even many file explorers, as far as I remember they all have the ctrl-shift-a shortcut and all would behave quite differently if you used ctrl-a excepting the same result. I’m genuinely at a loss where you’d get the idea to use ctrl-a to cancel a selection. Like I understand the intuition you proposed, but at what point do you just forget everything else you ever did on your computer?

Inkscape is a vector art program, it is fundamentally different to any raster art program. Like just download it and try to make just about anything with it, if you never used a vector art program, you’ll be absolutely lost. If you know GIMP, Krita or Photoshop you at least have a basic understanding of the others.

Idk, what to tell you, but every cat we had without fail fucking loved milk. Now I read online that you shouldn’t feed too much of it to them (especially not daily), but I assure you, our cats eat anything as long as there’s milk in it, even pills that they won’t consume any other way, they’ll slurp up like candy if they’re dissolved in a big ol soup spoon or tiny bowl of milk.

I’m confused. Just tried the selection tool in GIMP and Krita on my PC and sketchbook on my tablet. Works the same way as far as I can tell. Just select, draw in there, copy/paste, ctrl-shift-a to unselect. Moving is more convenient in Krita and Sketchbook, true, but like that can’t be it right? I’m at a loss.

Even if it runs locally (which I doubt, altho they are asking to be verified by third parties for security, so we’ll see, sounds promising so far), it’s still a tool that has the authority to do literally anything from a prompt. Once the device is unlocked, it’s literally unlocked, as in every piece of information about the owner is now at your finger tips.

So when Microsoft says it’ll constantly screen shot your windows machine and then use AI on those screen shots, we all lose our collective minds, but when Apple unveils their system that’s fucking OS wide apparently, where the AI can literally see and interact with EVERYTHING, suddenly it’s worth celebrating?

Like don’t get me wrong, both are horrible, but what’s up with the double standard? It’s like apple can do no wrong, despite the fact that they’ve been doing nothing but wrong for almost a decade now.

Hold up, this “do anything you want” space game DIDN’T HAVE BOUNTY HUNTING UNTIL NOW??? LOL XD

Not the answer ya want, I RARELY play AAA games. Honestly haven’t run into a game that wouldn’t run so far.

The amount of corporate speak makes me sick. Especially the mix of buzzwords being mixed with shit like “KERNEL PROCESS”, shit’s cursed.

2013, a yes, rampant school bullying and disappointed family. Nah fam, angry birds and bad piggies weren’t better than my current life. My family at least acknowledges that I’m a functioning adult now and all the school assholes are working minimum wage/are ruined drug addicts, because they don’t realize that being a massive piece of shit is awarded only in school and not in real life. I have a lot more freedom now than ever. The fact that I now understand that the world is on fire is a lot better than thinking my world is over before it began and never should.

Honestly don’t care, once it works, I’ll happily switch. But for now, literally the only reason I know X and Wayland even exist is because I had Wayland pre-installed and switching to X fixed soo many random issue.

Yep, not arguing there. Alcohol sucks and I only use it when I have the pleasure of experiencing a social event I didn’t wanna attend.

Mmhm, alcohol makes any dumb activity fun, and any person interesting, to you that is, the drunk. It’s the reason why I still occasionally drink, but only at weddings and what not, as not attending would cause more issues than just drinking once.

Sounds like the kind of work my analyst does. I guess he’s technically part of the development team, so sure??? Our 3 client mediators are totally taking over. Also pretty sure we’re the only IT department that even has such a thing. The only other person in our IT branch to be mainly doing calls and such is the top head of IT, every other IT boss still has a lot of technical work around their necks. So at least at my job “close to 100%” is an absolute farcry.

It’s a very similar story at my girlfriend’s work place. Except they don’t even have analysts.

I’d imagine a bar that would come up with a rule like that would already have a predominantly straight male demographic. That’s a lot of free beer…

You have to get in early, before they get all the practice from all the previous visitors.

Honestly, I have trouble imagining such a world. Hmmm… The more I think about it, the more it just kinda sounds like high school… Sends shivers down my spine.

As a developer I have to say OH hell nah. If I had to compare the issue to something more layman, I’d compare it to tesla’s self driving. If I have to watch it the entire time it does its thing because there’s an almost certain chance it’ll mess something up CATASTROPHICALLY due to the fact that it literally lacks the ability to understand, than I might as well just do it my self. It rarely saves time and only in dumb cases, that should have been automated in other ways a long time ago.

Not saying it’s not a very handy tool occasionally, just that it can’t come up with solutions to problems on its own, which is like 75% of my work. And it can’t do this due to a fundamental limitation in how learning models work, no amount of training will fix this.
