Been running Manjaro for years. Don’t really know what would make me change.
I guess maybe if I suddenly started getting more and more dependency errors when upgrading packages from the AUR it would make me consider jumping to put Arch.
But right not that’s not the case. So the benefit of switching is out weighed by the pain in the ass of having to say Everything up again.
If anyone still thinks the path back to power doesnt include a rebel army and plenty of guns, they’re naive as fuck.
The right has zero intention of giving up control ever again. And the sooner people realize it and start making IED drones, the better.
I wonder that myself. I’m I’m disappointed in the answer so far because I suspect that people have been utterly programmed to follow irrelevant trifles over substance.
Billionaires always win until people realise it’s time to stop being civilised and time for guillotines.
You’ll invite him over for a better burger, no doubt. Because yeah, Big Macs suck.
But by the very definition of the word, a Big Mac IS a burger whether you want it to be or not. Actual facts don’t generally give a shit about your opinion on the matter. A burger patty between two sides of a bun is a burger. Doesn’t matter if the meat is half cardboard and the buns are reheated frozen pieces of shit, it’s still very much the technical definition of a burger.
So please give the pretentious twat persona a rest, thanks.
GIMP for example is nowhere near feature parity with Photoshop
Yeah. That’s exactly my point…maybe I wasn’t clear.
The problem is that no one specific FOSS tool has feature parity. To get the same abilities as Photoshop, you have to use a workflow that is a combination of GIMP, Inkscape, Krita and Scribus instead of having it in the one package, which is why Adobe is the industry standard.
Anybody who says Inkscape is a replacement for Illustrator simply does not use it in any serious professional capacity. It doesn’t even have any means of adding paragraph spacing!
That’s sort of where I see the issue as well. What proprietary software does is takes the features of a bunch of different pieces of kit and puts them together into one package.
There isn’t one particular thing that Propietary software does the FOSS software can’t. The problem is that you need multiple different software solutions to do it.
So while Illustrator offers Paragraph Spacing (for example) Inkscape doesn’t, you get that in Scribus. But Scribus lacks the more advanced pathing vector tools, which Inkscape offers. Meanwhile neither of them have strong photo editing abilities, which GIMP brings to the table, but GIMP can’t really do painting well, which KRITA brings to the table…and so on and so on.
Every open source alternative does something as good as their proprietary alternaties. But not everything. You have to use a combination in order to match the capability of one adobe product, and that’s just not feasible in a professional environment.
If you wan’t to use FOSS I get it, I want to. But when it comes to professionnal workflow you sometimes have to put your ego on the side. When I tried to ditch the Adobe Suite, the Free(dom) alternatives didn’t worked for me or the proprietary alternatives were simply better.
Then, I would argue, the alternative isn’t to sign petitions to make the corporate guys make their proprietary stuff available on FOSS operating systems. The alternative is to contribute to the FOSS alternatives in order to make them as good as the proprietary.
I’m not saying that you in particular haven’t contributed (either financially or developmentally). I don’t know you, so this isn’t particularly directed at you.
But in general, the “FOSS isn’t as good as proprietary stuff” crowd has overwhelmingly never actually tried to fund or contribute to the development of the software itself and their complaints amount to “Why isn’t my free thing as good as the thing they make me pay for?”
In which case the answer is “of course it isn’t…you’re telling me the software developed on the evenings and weekends by enthusiasts doing it in the spare time for NO money isn’t as polished as a fully funded business software!? NO WAY!!! I’M SHOOKETH!!!”
The alternative to the (perceived) quality disparity between FOSS and Proprietary isn’t to go begging at the Corporations doorstep; it’s to make the FOSS alternatives good enough to take the throne of “industry standard” away from the corporations.
It’s not impossible…hell, Blender is the poster child for pretty much doing exactly that. It’s not the “industry standard”, but it’s accepted in the industry in ways that GIMP and Inkscape still aren’t. And the reason is because it’s good enough to be there.
A daughter who, although a terrible terrible human being in her own right, at least had the brains to stay well away from his bullshit and keep her head down this time around.
Don’t know where she is, and I don’t particularly wish her well or wish her ill. I’m just glad we don’t have to hear about her and I’m glad that wherever she is, she’s staying out of her father’s shit show this time. It’s better for us, and I’m sure it’s better for her mental health.
From what I understand, Musk was under investigation from multiple federal US agencies for malfeasance, I don’t know for what
I’ll give you a hint. It starts with “e” and rhymes with “Epstein didn’t kill himself”…
Depends on what you’re using it for.
Writer, Presentation, etc… yeah. works great. No problems at all.
Calc/Excel…sure…will work for pretty basic stuff. But as soon as you get a relatively complex spreadsheet, interoperability goes out the window.
For example, I have a few spreadsheets that I work on at home (where I use Linux) and at work (where I use windows). I can’t work on it in one without screwing up the formatting, forumlae, and advanced filtering in the other, and vice versa. I’m forced to use OnlyOffice in order to be able to do so.
This is their response to realizing that Trump’s tariffs could cause them to lose the house and the senate for 60 years.
Their response isn’t to maybe reflect on their behaviour and maybe stand up to the orange twat. But instead their response is to make sure that the Judiciary doesn’t have the power to stop him and therefore prevent them ever getting voted out.
“Yeah, about your pamphlet…I’m not seeing anything about German history between 1939 and 1945.”
“Everyone was on vacation.”
“What are you talking about, Germany invaded Poland in 1939.”
“We were invited! Punch was served. Check with Poland!”
“You can’t just ignore those years! Thomas Mann fled to America because of Nazism’s stranglehold on Germany!”
“Nope…He left to manage a Dairy Queen!”
“A Dairy Queen? That’s preposterous!”
“I will hear NO MORE insinuations about the German people. NOTHING BAD HAPPENED!”
I could see Oregon and Washington State throwing in with Cali, giving all of them a direct line to nice fresh Canadian Rocky BC Springs because we up here in Canada would be an instant ally of any states that broke off.
Half of Paris would already be ash.
There’s no such thing as a “non-harmful” pedofile.
Either you’re actively molesting children (yes…even teens), or you’re consuming the CP that is the result of OTHER people abusing children by forcing them to participate and worse.
You don’t get to say “its not repulsive to consume the product as long as youre not a creator of it”. Consuming the end result is still participating in it.
I can’t believe that even has to be pointed out.
it makes line go down.
You often see the question asked online “What radicalized you?”
For me, I was working for a telecommunications provider as a manager and was told that neither myself nor my staff would see any raises or bonuses that year because “the company didn’t make any money.”
The kicker being that the company made 6 billion that year. But because the money counters had projected them to make 7 Billion, and they didn’t hit it, giving out raises would make the stock price drop even more than it was already going to. Essentially, not enough profit, is the same as NO profit.
But you better believe the CEO and executives got their bonus that year.
it makes line go down.
So he’s basically telling the other billionaires to eat the cost of the tariff themselves and NOT pass them on to the consumer.
Trump really is stupid enough to start biting the hands that gave him his current position, all because Musk tells him to.
I would make one hell of an ugly woman…
I was an archaeology major, hence the history thing. And I’m fascinated by the psychology of crime.
allegedly killed CEO Brian Thompson. Let’s not forget that rather important bit.
