the us has recognized taiwan as part of china since the 70s.

it was their choice to flipflop on this issue, and its also their choice to meddle all the way over there.

us copyright laws are frankly draconian.

i keep having issues and bugs on nextcloud. maybe i should try opencloud

you can definetly spell “linux” without “cop”

ive been getting the same error, even on regular youtube frontend. it usually goes away after a while.

are you really? thanks for your service. 🫡

wont we think of the corporations!

in other words, more societal disruption and mental health problems.

those are the colonies. europe has already been extracting resources for cheap here for a while.

allows an attacker to delete images uploaded by other users

this is a feature not a bug, depending on what cursed stuff the other users have been posting.

i jest, thanks for another update!

not such thing as getting the prompts right.

ai can’t write good code, and they will sooner or later need actual coders back.

it doesn’t ultimately matter. i see neither a “user friendly” nor a “industry standard” UI on GIMP.

i’m also a sysdmin now, who sees the same tendencies as you just described, and have GIMP installed for an honest retry at 3.0. i have also studied UX as part of the formation i used to need photoshop for.

what it needs is for users and devs to stop being so stubborn about it and recognize its faults, and do like the Blender people did. its not good as it is, and people will keep wondering why everyone hates it until the status quo on it changes drastically.

its a shame because its very good software underneath the bad UX.

okay

go after such a project. a lot of the bigger ones can very much use designers, and are sometimes actively looking for contributors. this type of manpower is rare to see in the foss world.

onboarding is sadly not that good most of the time, though.

malicious compliance, folks.

let the ai ruin their codebase, get paid to fix it again.

thats more a lack of people to do the things we need to be done problem, than some secret formula of how to make good UX.

LLMs won’t help here, we need an attitude shift away from excusing GIMP just because its FOSS, and the money/manpower to execute it.

if the good folks at Blender did it, we can do it too if we really wanted to.

thats a golden opportunity for some sweet malicious compliance.

let ai fuck their codebase then get paid for the long time you’d need to fix it. punish their money for being dumb, and do it by giving them exactly what they want.

their only ally is a country that plays both sides (and would most likely side with china if pressed)

this is hilarious.

i used to literally use it for work. its not just my own opinion, and its slightly supported.

of course the landscape could have changed in the meantime, but that was the consensus among professionals at the time. you couldn’t send your delivery with anything other than a .psd, and gimp must have that success if we are to use it in lieau of other tools lile krita at least.

i want things to be better in that respect and i know gimp has the potential to disrupt the crappy status quo if it had a better ui.

say what you will about adobe and you might be right, but photoshop was perfected over years for an efficient pro workflow, and the industry coalesced around how similar software works.

to the point GIMP is not an effective tool. I would excuse them for trying to make it actually “intuitive”, but as it stands, its neither “industry standard”, nor “good for everyone”.

this is my point. wanna come up with something better? please do, but its not close.
