It’s called the Golden Ratio and has a lot of neat properties! Da Vinci and other nerds love(d) using it in art.

That’s not a desk though

Yes that was the wrong comment. Hmm. Someone said they don’t use some of the FOSS tools because they are so bad.

I think the main complaint with Gimp is that it is way more complex than the simpler editors, without actually being excellent for experienced users, like Photoshop is. Photoshop is also simpler to use for beginners to Gimp really missed both targets.

Krita is simpler than Photoshop and Gimp but much more powerful than n base level like Paint.

I’d say layers and masks (and operations that go with that) are the main step up from entry level.

Edit: fix typo

Gimp is a shame, they really had something to begin with. I use Krita now which is way more like you would expect a FOSS image editor to be. Much more similar to Photoshop if you came from there.

At work, we use gimp headless though. The scripting capabilities are great!

On digital vs physical:

1. Digital versions are locked into the whim of Nintendo. For instance, you can’t play the game on another switch if the user who brought it is playing another game on their account. In fact, the second Switch can’t even play it without having an internet connection.

2. You can’t sell a digital copy second hand, meaning the value is way lower for digital copies. They still have the same retail price though…

It takes getting used to but it really is much better for multi tasking to stop using alt + tab and minimize altogether. Send one window to desktop 1 and another to desktop 2. Now you have consciously chosen where they are and can go there quickly (i. e. Win+1).

I always put the same program in the same place, just like organizing a toolbox/kitchen. Every tool has it’s place.

Both macOS and Windows have virtual desktops too though.

I have done 14k edits over six years. I too like it for being therapeutic. I’d rather do micro-edita on osm than play another level of candy crush. Same kind of reward but you are also helping out creating something larger!

Honestly though, I don’t think osm will ever catch up to the commercial alternatives. Mostly because their harsh stance against automatic edits (and lack of version control). Also the lack of standardization is a problem. It’s very hard to create client applications because the data is structured way different in different regions.

ESC + (shift) ZZ is faster and also saves your changes!

It takes less download but more CPU to unpack it so the loading time depends on your connection and hardware. In extreme cases it may be worse than png.

Only half of it is infinite. The first half is horse, the rest is infinite centaur. Maybe that’s what you meant.

I thought it was common knowledge that princess Peach is a toad too. Her name is even Princess Peach Toadstool.

Ubuntu / Kubuntu.

I tried Arch (Manjaro) for a while but was totally lost every time it broke down, which it did a lot. Every update felt like a gamble. The AUR is great but I need more stability.

I’ve tried to sign up/login to multiple instances and all of them have issues with logging in.
