Gimp 3 is amazing.

Found the time traveler!

(The stable version of Gimp is 2.10.38, and even the latest dev snapshot – which is what I assume he means by “Gimp 3” – is technically “only” 2.99.18.)

It’s never unethical to pirate Adobe, but it’s always more ethical to use Free Software instead and deny Adobe the mindshare.

Yeah, but the downside is everything else about it.

74 million is still way too much for anyone to be comfortable with. It clearly indicates that something is wrong with many Americans.

To put a finer point in it, even just one million is way too much! The fact that 22% of the total population is suffering some sort of mass delusion and is in cult-like thrall to a demented fascist is unfathomably catastrophic.

Trump is a criminal, a fascist, a literal traitor twice over (Jan 6 + loyalty to Putin over America), and fucking senile. Anything less than 99% unfavorable is ridiculous!

The point is, anything more than negligible is fucking nuts!

Even if it’s 44% of just idiot luddite conservatives, that’s still 44% of idiot luddite conservatives too many!

The fact that anything more than a vanishingly-small minority wants him is an absolute catastrophe and an incredibly damning indictment of American society in and of itself. Trump’s nonsensical babbling is literally beyond “schizophrenic homeless dude on the street corner with a ‘the end is nigh’ sign”-level gibberish.

Based crowletariat.

Look, if the choice is “use Ubuntu because it’s easy and officially supported by Steam” or "give up and stuck with Windows (or even worse, a console) would you really suggest the latter?

Okay, look, I admit it: I own a welder, but I’m not a welder. My experience shopping for welding masks is limited to places like Harbor Freight and Amazon.com, and the notion of searching for “welding respirator” or “welding PAPR” instead of “welding mask” never crossed my mind until reading this thread.

“By loading this comment, you agree to give @grue@lemmy.world one million US dollars, payable in full within one week.”

See? Anybody can make up unconscionable bullshit. The extent to which Sony’s terms are enforced is only a measure of how many corrupt judges need to be gotten rid of.

Now, pay up!

I didn’t know this was something I agreed to when I bought my console.

That’s 'cause it wasn’t! Sony is “exceeding authorized access” – a felony under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act – but won’t be prosecuted for $ome rea$on.

Anything including Ubuntu will be perfectly fine. Canonical’s shenanigans that us Free Software people like to bitch about are entirely irrelevant to new Linux users.

I have literally never seen a welding mask with either a built-in respirator or enough room in front of the mouth/nose to accommodate a separate one. Do such things even exist?

Why are you trying to hijack the thread to make it about your xenophobic hot take on immigration?

Having 500K-1M new people could mean having as many as 500K-1M new construction workers to build more housing, if that’s what the zoning code and the market (etc.) allowed. That that isn’t happening is a failure of those things, not the fault of the immigrants. There is absolutely no reason a properly-functioning society would be unable to keep up with the demand from population increases, and scapegoating immigrants will do absolutely fuck-all to fix any of the real causes of society’s failure to function properly.

If he succeeds in using it as a propaganda platform to force the US into a fascist dictatorship, he will have gotten his money’s worth.

I need you to understand that not only do boycotts not work, suggesting them as some kind of substitute for consumer protection regulation serves corporate interests. What you wrote isn’t “wrong,” per se, but it’s entirely unhelpful.

Alright, you got me. I admit it: Superfund sites are a hoax I invented to push my ‘woke’ agenda!

I think you forget that “fighting back against your own government” was exactly what the people who wrote the Constitution had literally just finished doing.

It doesn’t work that way. These “people’s” worldview is “heads I win, tails you lose.” They will be selectively hyper-credulous to whatever bullshit they want to believe, while turning into hyper-skeptics about anything they don’t want to believe.

You will never, ever win against them with a logical argument, not even reverse psychology, because the only rules they play by are the ones they make up second-by-second to make them victorious against you.
