GIMP and photoshop have always been photo editing tools first and foremost
I mean, GIMP literally means “General Image Manipulation Program”.
Excusing the lack of proper shape drawing tools as “it’s a task for vector software” while at the same time having things like the ability to define vector masks is complete nonsense.
Or, this might blow off the minds of some people, not using transparency.
Pick sells, but who’s buying?
Honest question, what use has data transfer graphs?
Even Microshit tried and gave up because it was so hard
Not exactly. Yes a browser engine is one of the most, if not the most, complex pieces of software.
But if it was almost impossible to create a web engine then this, or KDE’s KHTML, or Servo, or NetSurf, or Kraken, or you-name-it wouldn’t exist.
Then how come (one of) the most powerful tech company in the world couldn’t make it, you ask? They already had a “functional” web engine. But what they had from the beginning was absolute shit that did not respect any web standard. And oh boy we people who fought against that shit trying to support it do know. Its baggage was immensely huge and shitty that after a while and the speed Chrome was taking over they found it was easier to yeet it altogether, and I do hope that piece of shit is burning in hell because it made our lifes so miserable.
Note that Opera did the same thing with their web engine - they gave up with it mostly because they found easier to jump in the Blink bandwagon, without realizing they were making Opera just another Chromium skin without much value, contrary to what Presto was.
Kinda what could happen if one day Microsoft decided to try make Windows to be as functional, fast and permissive as Linux.
More advanced forms of timocracy, where power derives entirely from wealth with no regard for social or civic responsibility, may shift in their form and become a plutocracy where the wealthy rule.

I love Gentoo precisely because of Portage, but I think the most badass package install/uninstall syntax has to be that of (the defunct?) Sorcerer Linux:
Sorcerer’s tool terminology is based upon magic words. For example:
- a tool to download, compile, and install software is called a “spell”
- to install a package is “cast”
- to remove a package is “dispel”
- a set of available spells is called a “grimoire”
I got a Logitech MX Mouse Master 3s. Not sure if it can fit into what you want or need because I’m no gamer (like, not even minesweeper) but it has more than 5 buttons.
I set it up with logiops so you could customize its buttons - for example I set up one of its buttons to open KDE Plasma’s overview.
Good mouse overall though the bottom cavity where the wheel resides can get dirty so I have to open it like every couple of months to clean it.
Call me insane but I’m using a mix of parafine + beeswax. No problems whatsoever yet - it’s been great.
Falkon, because it’s fully integrated to KDE. Though I wish an actual Qt web browser running Gecko (or Servo, maybe one day) existed.
I mean, not that there have been tons of successive civilizations around here, so… And yet if that was the case, you’ll need to take in account that oral lore may have had a hand in the names of places, so it’s mostly improbable that a place has had completely different names with each civilization.
(Edit: people downvoting/replying to this thinking I was talking just about the USA is hilarious - reddit syndrome much?)
I really wish we could actually “rename” places as their original indigenous names across all America(s). For example my country had an internal turmoil just to keep the original name of its capital city because we love our native people, and yet we keep the incredibly stupid name of “Land of Colon” (imho most probably the most stupid name of any country, ever) because fuck our native people.
Just stumbled upon this:

Haven’t had too much gloves, got a pair of Santini Fjord gloves but turned out to be a bit of an overkill and they leave my hands with a smell worse than my stinky feet (!). Also got a pair of Spiuk Top Ten which do the job but the velcro is quite finicky imho and there is a kind of poliester-y thin layer on top of tome parts of the palm that has started to peel off in a nasty way, but however doesn’t affect in a single bit their functionality.
My father was a farmer for pretty much all of his life (since he could work until he couldn’t) and had a crop of cilantro at one time. I never knew nor heard about somebody saying that cilantro tastes like soap, never even imagined it was a thing. It was only until a few years ago when I started to get my nose into Reddit when I read about people saying that.
You can’t just throw money and devs at it and expect the problem to be solved.
Then nobody will throw money at any project at all, because everything eventually will be solved by “magick”.
Destinating more resources to that quickens and makes better that process, though, incentivating people to work on it and test it.
It seems like you’re thinking about “customization” as “customizable look and feel”, but “desktop customization” goes way beyond than that.
You know, besides the funny/cute/interesting videos that made it to its home page that I save to show them to my mother, the only other reason I haven’t deleted Reddit yet is the r/forhire sub.
Of course, not a Linkedin alternative per se, but it seems to me there have been people that has found full time jobs thanks to that sub. I’ve had the chance to get some small gigs and earn some extra bucks working for great people (and being scammed by awful people in other “similar” subs, but that’s another story).
I was bummed when I got here and found out there are some similar communities here but with almost no subscriptors and no posts whatsoever.
