This is kind of what traditional celebrations are. There’s no inherent reason to put a tree indoors at Christmas, but I still love doing it, because it connects me with my childhood and with my parents and with all my ancestors going back generations.

Preach! Or maybe not preach, but you know, continue to spread this reasonable and undogmatic message!

All the information I found about the “creative suite” is that it’s Krita, Kdenlive, Darktable, etc.

Given he was sanctioned in August, I guess not.

That’s the orthodoxy but noone ever bothers to actually back it up. If I write an encyclopedia and refer extensively to external sources it’s not a derivative work, and that seems to be the closest obvious example.

I get annoyed just seeing all of these spelled out.

Speed is an absolute requirement for a launcher, and if one of the search providers is taking too long it needs to be removed until its speed makes it usable. There’s no way I want to wait for web results if they take between 1 and 10 seconds. The number of local results should always be such that it can be held in memory without being a burden, and return in an imperceptible amount of time.

It’s a shame people downvote this instead of replying.

The guy’s in favour of rent freezes, so there’s one policy that ain’t gonna work long term. Free buses OTOH, sounds great.

He can be the best choice but not be perfect ya know

Just the word syntax? Sure. You teach coding at first by example, not from first principles. At some point, explaining the concepts helps in the teaching but not at first.

To make something less bad

Never heard that definition of ameliorate

I don’t believe it’s easier than rsync.

Was there a known issue there?

Are you really going to get defensively patronising over this? I think I’mma bounce, lol.

Yeah you might be right.

I should clarify I use GIMP. A lot! But this is one way it sucks. By this point I don’t know what other similar programs even have over it - it finally got adjustment layers after some decades. So if I can recognise this shortcoming anyone should be able to ;)

The other major thing was switching to single window mode. Floating windows for everything was absolutely batshit.

The first two sets of instructions are for drawing a disc, rather than a circle (a disc being a filled-in circle) and don’t extend to drawing a circle easily. The last method does, but it is about 10x as long. The traditional method for drawing a circle was to select the inner circle, save the selection to a channel, grow the selection by the pixel width of the stroke you want, subtract the saved selection, then fill. Wonderful /s

GIMP does not (unless I missed it in a ~recent update) have a shape tool like most image editors. The GIMP documentation in any case suggests using Inkscape for the purpose.
