If we’re going to slop it up with AI so hard you don’t even look at the code can we at least use performant tools and start slopping Rust or something instead, dear god.

Link layers? Alright GIMP, you’ve finally convinced me. This is 99% of smart objects from Photoshop and I think it’s finally time for me to seriously learn this program. No more dual booting for Photoshop.

Nah, having a useful tool built in is a good user experience, provided you can remove it. Windows fails on the second part. But I think OS’s should aim to have simple tasks covered by default apps such as Paint on Windows or Libre Office on most Linux distros, and an anti virus is probably a necessary install for many Windows users.

While true, I found myself mildly irked by the KDE emoji picker at times. On Windows, you focus an input, press Super+., and then can click any character and it immediately inputs so I can type out 🫵🍽️🤔 easily. On KDE it only copies the character, so the flow is (if I remember right) Super+., click a character, focus the input, paste, Super+., click a character, focus the input, paste…

I’ve found most Linux clipboard managers share the same issue of having to leave the text flow to copy an input and paste it again. Basically they are treated as separate apps rather than popups.

No no, confine them to their own space. I believe in robot segregation lol.

I just reinstalled Windows this week, saying no to everything, and I swear they did not ask me about OneDrive like before. My folders were set up as OneDrive with no opt out.

This also means modifying your git pull command to pull the correct branch. A small change perhaps, but may be harder than just committing to main lol.

I had a similar problem with GitHub actions, it was hard to test without messing up the main repo history.

I would love to see alternatives/replacements to them that are less opinionated. If you aren’t ready to consign your entire library to destructive edits and file replacements then it really is hard to fit any arr program into your workflow. Because I have a few files I want to keep pristine and a few opinions on what gets downloaded, I’ve hit a snag every time I try to set up any arr program. Lidarr, for example, simply refuses to allow a root dir to be read only. I still have yet to get any up and running.

I fail to see where TV calibration comes in here tbh. If I can see blocky artifacts from low bitrate it will show up on any screen unless you turn the brightness down so far that nothing is visible.

Their loss. They have at least a month to migrate, probably more before most users get forced to verify, there is no rush. That and an ad-free hobby-run project like Stoat doesn’t gain anything from a massive user increase unless it correlates to an increase in devs or money.

Either they edited it to add Zulip or you missed it.

One of my friends hit me with the “they already know everything about me” line on this one and literally said they’d give Discord “anything”, so I don’t think I’m gonna convince my group to move y’all. At least my best friend is educated enough at this point to be interested in moving so I’ll still be investigating options.

Well I fucked around and found out lol, just got the email today.

So no one else has to look it up, 120°F is 49°C

Speaking as a canadian, I do believe our leaders will attempt to work with any new administration the US votes in. We are too inter-linked to not try. BUT, I think recent events have shown not just our government, but our general populace that we cannot rely on the USA. I don’t think everything will just “go back to normal” like you hope.

Your comment is irrelevant to the parent. They said nothing about AI quality or morality but asked:

How can you tell the difference between real and AI? Seriously asking no sarcasm

And you responded with, essentially, “AI sucks”. Which I agree with, but save it for when they actually say anything to the contrary.

I would disagree. Almost every Windows tutorial I found for problems told me how to go through the UI. It was even hard to find tutorials for CLI at times because Windows doesn’t provide good CLI tools for things like switching audio devices.

Someone must have pissed in their cereal that day or something. Just checked my monthly data and it certainly isn’t low. Happy the new VPN is working for you though!

Opinions will vary. For instance, I’ve been torrenting with Windscribe with no issues since before that post was made and would still recommend it, so…

Edit Feb 2026: I got my account disabled lol. So much for that!

Seconded. Looks good and I’ve found browsing by letter is way faster than the traditional folders (although you can still use folders with premium). I bought the upgrade after a few months.
