foobar2000 is a counter example, but yeah the mobile space has none of those

Luckily duck is good enough-ish.

it’s embarrassing but for me it’s thinkfan. Instead I wrote my own solution in bash.

I don’t think it would be great for a pie hole on a gigabit connection. (if you have s slow connection then it’s good ofc)However there are use cases it’s good for. Print server, smb server, kitchen radio with Pyradio, retro gaming etc

Immutable distros like Silverblue or Bazzite are the only path I see that can work for normies. However flatpak itself has to mature more, theming anomalies need to be dealt with somehow for example.

Mint is only good to ease a technically inclined person into the linux world.

I think he was at the very least rather gifted in some ways. Then his brain declined and then declined again and again. Substances + alcohol + covid fog + aging?

You could buy any Asus gaming mouse with user replaceable switches and order a bag of Huano silent switches from AE. (if the noise increases or the switch dies just replace the switc+h)

This is not a cheap option, but could potentially endure for a longer time.

Consistent illumination and shadows is a rabbit hole we really don’t want to hop into.

Outside of very obvious anomalies even a trained eye will have a hard time discerning what’s going on.

Spent 5 minutes thinking about this just now and it seems plausible to me. That person has yet to give a reason to doubt them kind of reasoning…

Flatseal’s job is to do that. As for the note app, that’s not great, but you can use flatseal to take away those permissions after installation.

I don’t blame the guy for being human and it’s free software etc, but this is reality bad optics for immutable distros. If my nephew and grandma are going to need manual interventions like this one, then might as well use a less restrictive system. The promise of seamless and easy updates are the main draw for me.

It would be much appreciated if UniBlue made the update process more robust and more resistant to such mistakes.

(also curl piped into sudo bash is way more common than it should be)

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 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.

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

I just wish he lived a healthier life.

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.
