They had to mute the booing but they “win” televote. Mossad have been busy tonight.

I don’t think they are actually zionist or pro-genocide. But they are definitely not good mods, and they just didn’t handle it in a good way. It’s not the first time I’ve seen problems with that community moderation team, they tend inho to powertrip. I suppose they are friends or the same people as feddit.org admins and that’s why they defend them so much. But I don’t think that moderation team is up to the task of moderating a big community.

Nothing wrong with it, moderation is hard, very hard. And not everyone is qualified for it. They should just step back. Or just close the community if they are so heavy censored by their country legislation.

I economically support other foss projects. Not just gimp really, as I have not probe whatsoever, but I have this feeling that there’s some development issues with it. It’s not normal that people have been asking for a dedicated shape tool for decades and they refuse to add it.

Godot is one of the ones I think is going to grow bigger than commercial alternatives (like Blender) for instance.

Lately every big GIMP update would be a minor version bump in other projects. Gimp 1 to Gimp 2 was some of a big upgrade. 2 to 3 not so much. Great software. But some of the things introduced in 3.0 are just fixes and patches to try to merge some of the decisions made 20 years ago with the current expectations on UX. And it’s still not there.

Yesterday I just did something very simple. Make a selection cut and copy selection to new layer. I don’t know why but things didn’t work as expected and the new layer had weird behavior, not allowing the use of the selection tool anymore and staying always on top. Not great UX for something that the user expects to be trivial.

I have never used any of those other softwares in more than a decade.

I still only use GIMP for image editing out of principle.

Still have to check every time for GIMP shortcuts because they are so counter intuitive. And there are so many counter intuitive things about it.

IMHO it have the same issue that Libreoffice. It was really made decades ago and never really updated. It’s like that meme about workflows. In their efforts not to break workflows they have gotten behind in UX compared to other software.

Also development seems to be stopping to a halt with each release compared to other more modern foss projects. I suppose it’s due an ancient codebase that’s probably really hard to work with.

I use it. It can do a lot. But UX and development speed in GIMP is not up to par with projects like Krita, Inkscape or Blender (to name a few).

Great software still. But I get why people complain about it.

Don’t give them ideas.

Good moment to ask how is Victoria 3

It’s very lightweight, any toaster could run a single user searxng instance.

I’m not paying for my self hosted searxng and I have more control over my search than any kagi user.

This is like Nostradamus for me. I don’t want to update and deal with potential breaks.

The other day I saw someone on lemmy calling some other user a nazi because he didn’t want to support .ml

And they suggested that if they don’t want to support lemmy developers they should “go back to stormfront”.

There surely is an abundance of people calling other nazis just because they disagree with them.

Now I have a interesting moral question.

What’s if the nazi baker is the only in town or it’s the only who make bread at a price you can afford?

There’s certainly a threshold where morals outweigh the desire for a product or service.

It would depend on many factors, I don’t think is as black/white as it may seen.

I liked vice city and San Andreas.

Since IV they have been striping features from the games (also IV had huge performance issues). And V is completely bland to me. I didn’t enjoy it. And I don’t expect much from VI. I expect the same shallowness as V with a different background.

If I’m wrong good from everyone. But I won’t get disappointed if it’s as boring a V.

Here’s a forum post talking about it 10 years ago.

At least bug report was filled on 2021. It’s possible that other bug reports about this have been opened and closed through the years, bug still there.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142832

Still unsolved. Creator of the bug report states that it has been around for years. Which I can verify, as it has happened to me for more than a decade too.

It’s not. Installed and tried last month. A bug that’s older that many people here with Fullscreen is still present.

If not so much about holding purchases. Is about money sitting. With deflation your money is worth more each day. So investment is discouraged. Why risk money if money by itself grow?

In a economy based on investments that not desired.

And there’s also the idea if “where this value is coming from?”. With inflation all the value from every cent that loss value goes somewhere. That’s easier to control. With deflation all the money that each cent gains must come from somewhere (so a few must be losing a ton of money).

You can download a collection of thousands (maybe a million I don’t even know) of books in Spanish in epub format, from the “secret library”. It’s like a 100Gb torrent, but way worth it.

Ebooks tens to have long lasting battery. I spent a few hours reading on monday.

Just now I’m on my phone, but if you are interested let me know and I’ll try to find the link and will mp it to you if you want.

And just now I’ve been thinking that epubs being so small size maybe there’s a way to transmit them over this radio mesh networks on demand, like some sort of radio library. I’ve have to look into that. Maybe they are too big for that as radio bandwidth for data transfer tends to be incredibly small.

We already have power in my city. I think most of Spain is already up. But some cities still down, I think Madrid is still having issues as I have not been able to contact people from there.

Cause still unknown.

As with everything the problem is not AI technology the problem is capitalism.

End capitalism and suddenly being able to share and openly use everyone’s work for free becomes a beautiful thing.
