Yeah, I wish for a “Blender” moment for GIMP. Big improvements to the UI/UX to bring more (non-tech) users and code modernization to bring in devs.

While Krita focusses on drawing, I found it basically just as good at photo editing as GIMP. So today I don’t use GIMP at all and do everything in Krita.

Noticed that as well, it’s absolutely ridiculous. But judging by the amount of serious replies most people don’t seem to care.

It’s crazy that you’re getting downvoted. It seems, people WANT to be fed fake news as long as it aligns with their beliefs.

None of the items in your screenshot are games?

Disclaimer: I haven’t read the article

A wise choice in this case. It’s 23 paragraphs that mostly describe standard Thunderbird features (as the author usually does not use email clients) and only one list with three (!) bullet points of new features in Betterbird.

Edit: to save you a click, here’s the list from the article (the actual feature list on the project page is longer):

Some notable features include:

• System Tray Icon (Linux)
• Accent Colors (for folders)
• Multi-line Inbox View (disabled by default)

Thanks for posting this. Been using Linux exclusively for almost 10 years now but I still miss scrolling by clicking the MMB. I have some problems with my fingers so using the scroll wheel is rather unpleasant, yet necessarily, especially when scrolling down slowly and steadily for a long time (e g. while reading/scanning stuff)

Really enjoyed that (audio) book recently. Nothing really new but well told and an easy listen

Yeah I think most complex and long-term OSS projects have “employed” contributors paid by donations or sponsorships (e.g. Linux, Blender, LibreOffice, …)

Minds are blown, thanks for the correction!

*lynx (links are the things that tie the www together)

Yeah this thread is full of people not getting a simple joke…

I mean it’s just copy and paste boilerplate and has nothing to do with the problem so I think it’s pretty accurate…

Those testimonials are hilarious, I love that kind of self-deprecating humor (or the confidence to stand up to critics).

Both were a thing in discussions many years ago. That’s why they became a meme.

But since then it’s basically only used ironically because people quickly noticed they’re a meme.

A community does not exist by itself. It is formed by its members, and if new members join, the community changes.

Old members might not like that (» eternal september), but “don’t force it into something that it’s not” is simply not the way this works…

That really sounds absurd. Both the idea itself and the fact that they somehow screwed up the execution of such a simple thing that much.

Yeah, it’s a common fallacy in appliance brand discussions: “my grandma has a <brand> and it still works! You should buy one, too!”. First of all it’s survivorship bias and almost always the quality has degraded a lot in the past decades (greed and consumers that don’t want to pay the price for reliable appliances).

Thanks for the insight! I just hope that Porto and Lisbon don’t turn into another Paris or Rome…

It really is sad. For more than 25 years I’ve been visiting Portugal (so yes, I’m part of the problem…) and every year it gets a bit worse: endless new hotels destroying the beautiful views of the cliffs, villages mostly catering the needs of tourists, …

I just wish I hadn’t told everyone how amazing it is in Portugal 🥲
