I actually really enjoy GIMP as an alternative to Photoshop. My biggest problem with it is that Photoshop keybinds are muscle memory, and for whatever reason GIMP has everything totally different so I almost always end up having to hunt down what I’m after.

I’ve heard there are ways to get it 1:1 but I’ve never been able to figure that out. Admittedly, I haven’t looked too hard either.

I used to like Ubuntu, but I got so sick for not being able to do things due to packages being out of date, and/or snaps getting in the way.

I ditched it for arch and I’m so much happier

Worst part was, it was all really civil I thought. Like, “Hey, this sounds like X but it might be Y”

Turns out the dude was a piece of shit, but still… While I consider myself pretty left leaning, I also like to make sure I’ve got my fingers pointing in the right direction. Call the piece of shit out for cases where they are without a doubt being a piece of shit. Not for areas where there some room for personal interpretation.

But according to some mods, we should just blast people over anything regardless of verifiability. And trying to further explain the dangers of enforcing nonsense like they’re doing is apparently considered harassment.

Their approach:

Me: Appalling the ban, stating the nuance of the post.

Mods: “No, don’t contact us again.”

Me: Huh? But this, though…
Mods: “No, contact us again and we’ll report you for harassment”

Me: I’m all for pointing fingers, but this is dangerous…
“We’re muting you now, and also reporting you for harassment”

Reddit admins: “How dare you harass the mods with civil conversation! 7 day ban!”

Me: Appealing Reddit ban, stating the only harassment thus far has been from the mods. Show me where I was harassing.
Human admin: Nope, harassment. Ban staying.

Meanwhile, conspiracy, conservative, and canada subreddits continue to exist no prob…

Reddit can’t die soon enough. It’s clear that the site is compromised big time.

It’s cool you can call stuff out on here. I tried that on Reddit and got banned. Then called out the mods and got banned from the site for harassment 🤷‍♂️

Reddit can’t die off fast enough. It’s clearly past its prime

Oh no… So anyways lol

They nailed the retro-futurism aesthetic with that window UI

I can’t stand people who use Discord as a support platform… Absolutely nothing comes up in internet searches, and then you have to try to find an old discussion, or ask the same question as 50 other people. It’s dumb.

I still poke around on there now and again, but not as much as I used to. The day they kill 3rd party apps and the old site will be the day I completely stop using it - namely because neither their app nor their redesigns are actually useable. I have no idea how people tolerate them - they are absolutely garbage. Their latest trick is adding a bunch of metadata crap in their search links completely breaking most 3rd party apps still kicking.

Next time you see a /s/ in a URL, just watch how much it expands when you visit it 🤢

I was wondering the same. Thought maybe it was just me

Shitting on Gnome if you use a tiled desktop manager is fair game.

Shitting on Gnome if you use KDE is just dumb

I had no idea it was based on Arch… I thought I read somewhere that Steam was only officially packaged for Debian or Ubuntu.

I assume it happened around the time most of us left for other places. The fascist community there probably hasn’t grown much in numbers, but as a percentage it increased because the decent people left.

What if find absolutely wild is how their stock didn’t just flop. The site has been on a downward spiral since the first redesign, and with the cut to API they’ve basically entered a freefall. I could seen people backing Reddit like 14 years ago, but now? Why?

I suppose if there’s any optimism to have in OP’s post it’s that the bots are at least propagating messaging that’s better for the greater good than the typical shit that’s trying to get us into a full dystopia.

They must have been a former Duke Nukem Forever project manager

The snowflaking and censorship in that subreddit is wild

“Joebama made too many regulations, so you can’t properly calibrate your printer.” 🤣

But the backup is on the hard drive. /s (but also not necessarily)

Depending on the community, a lot of the hostility could be from Russian/Chinese/N.Korean bots

I was gonna say that it looks like every Linux install I’ve ever booted… But then I realized 90% of them have been Debian or Debian-based 😅

Oh interesting! I actually found Wayland to have a bit of an edge vs X. I just didn’t like the Unity environment from Ubuntu so I’ve been using i3.

I’ll have to give Sway a try
