I’ll just use invidious, it’s a bit of a chore to use, but it’s increasingly worth it.

Adding government ID to their data would hardly be anymore of a privacy invasion

Are you listening to yourself?

I would argue that it’s either a 4-6 way tie, or Meta is the worst, but MS is certainly terrible.

I moved away from Windows as much as I can and now I maintain a dualboot just for Photoshop and Lightroom. I think compared to average people I’m doing quite well conviction wise.

I also use Gimp as much as I can. Unfortunately for processing hundreds of photos Rawrherapee + Gimp is not a viable option for me. There are problems both with quality and speed. (Gimp is the problem for speed and RT or DT for the lack of quality due to weak highlight reconstruction)

This is a silly take. Who would sacrifice half -or more- their work efficiency to make a point?

I don’t know, around 2002 it was only a bit behind, well outside of the weird ui and since then unfortunately not much has changed for Gimp. Back then I felt that they were quite interchangeable.

Photoshop has unmatched tools to get work done 15 to 30 times faster than Gimp. This does not apply to everything of course and in some niche stuff Gimp’s even faster. However what I use Photoshop for, such as removing unwanted distractions like trash cans, trash, overhead electric cables and such Gimp is like 30 years behind. It’s not realistic that someone would spend many minutes just selecting hair outline in Gimp.

Ultimately developing these tools has cost evil Adobe many millions of dollars. 1-3 extremely talented and enthusiastic programmers cannot compete with this. Then again in the near future we will either not need Photoshop anymore, or open source projects like Gimp or a more open minded fork could use Ai generated code to develop similar automated tools.

Gimp is not ready and the best alternative is the Windows only intensionally Linux incompatible Affinity Photo.

Labwc is quite possibly the most stable and sane Wayland WM there is today, but op wanted a tiler. (Sway does crash every once in a while, Labwc doesn’t and the devs are more open minded about features)

Yeah that’s exactly one of the niche use cases, like using a midi keyboard, though using a low latency kernel like Linux Zen would be more than enough for most users.

If I install this a bunch things start segfaulting on Wayland. i’m a bit concerned that no one else seems to have this problem.

Hungary is not unique, Orban is just very loud. There are several countries in the EU where getting an Orban voted in is a real danger & it just happened in Slovakia as well.

This is the equivalent of kicking the US out of everything if they voted Trump…

Celeste, Hollow Knight, Talos Principle, Hyper Light Drifter…

I just wish he lived a healthier life.

Most of the time you would be fine, but sometimes stuff breaks in unexpected ways, so at the least you need to manage a good backup scheme or be ready to chroot whenever there is a system critical update.

As for Endeavor OS, It’s basically Arch with a nicer and smarter installer (compared to Archinstall, not the Arch way). The downsides and maintenance are exactly the same.

There is also pacnew…

I would have loved to take that performance before I converted my data drives to ext4, however it’s just inherently not stable.

Sometimes If you have a power loss you have to run chkdsk on Windows to get out of ro mode, no?

Many retro games are better. AA games were made with heart back then & that made it possible to make games that are incredible both in terms of artistry, grandeur and gameplay. Games like Baldur’s Gate 1-2, Chrono Cross etc are not possible in today’s climate.

On the other hand we have been handed indie games like Celeste and Hollow Knight, so I don’t know. Amazing games still exists, it’s just not really comparable.

I don’t know if it’s a problem with experience.

I think it’s mainly these two things:

-Intermingling very old Ubuntu packages with bleeding edge KDE.

-The goal is to demo & test new KDE features and other considerations are secondary.
