The trouble was, they were ripping out and replacing the core of the whole program in order to accomplish that non-destructive editing. It was the kind of thing that wasn’t usable at all until it was complete.

GIMP is the last application I would criticize for changing its UI, but putting the dialogue buttons at the top seems like a weird choice even for it.

Thats why you only get in trouble if you see a torrent not leech it in many countries.

And why Meta is relying on that argument to claim it was legal for them to torrent terabytes of stuff to feed their AI models.

What do you mean? My computer has never had Windows installed on it, so the end of Windows 10 support doesn’t affect me at all. I’m not sure what could be more simple than that.

Lawyers, plural. She had two different lawyers who both fucked her over.

Incompetent shyster #1:

She took a plea deal and served 2 1/2 years in prison. She said her attorney incorrectly told her the plea deal would not affect her immigration status as a green card holder. But her legal permanent residency was revoked.

Incompetent shyster #2:

At the end of her sentence, Yang was transferred to an ICE detention facility in Minnesota. There, at the advice of another attorney, she signed a document agreeing that a deportation order would be entered against her in exchange for being released from detention.

Despite agreeing to be deported, she and her attorney believed it wouldn’t happen, since only a small handful of people are deported to Laos each year, if any, and Laos typically has refused to accept U.S. deportees.

If yoy have a fairly recent gpu, windows games run fine on linux.

I’ve been using my nearly 8-year-old GPU (an AMD Vega 56) in Linux just fine for nearly 8 years (i.e., since the day I bought it). Even in the first few years, before Proton existed, I had been playing Windows games on it using plain old WINE via PlayOnLinux.

The even older GPU I used to use before that (an AMD Radeon R7 260X) is still installed in my Linux home server, and I would expect to be able to play Windows games on it just fine too (at least in terms of compatibility, if not raw performance of decade-plus-old hardware).

All that is to say, I’m confused about what you mean by “fairly recent.”

I wish Trump didn’t understand that.

It is truly amazing that none of these burglars have been killed while breaking and entering yet.

It’s ironic that Burning Man is forced to use the tools of commodification to “protect its brand” against commodification.

But I really like this idea and am going to try not buying anything but gas the entire month.

Get a bicycle and quit making exceptions.

It’s not about the flight path until your plane needs to make an emergency landing. Then you’re fucked anyway.

Most people around you probably don’t really know. I get the distinct impression that, even among otherwise politically-active people who should know better, there’s a fuck-ton of normalcy bias going on among the American public right now.

Why do they sound vaguely Irish?

I’ve got a couple of those that I bought shortly after the LTT video, but I’m still using my Roku because I still haven’t gotten around to jailbreaking and configuring them.

Then my fiance is ALSO being expected to take up that responsibility because all her siblings went and had 2-4 kids and “can’t afford” or “won’t have time” to help take care of her mother who is already aging.

Your fiance’s siblings are stupid for turning down the free live-in childcare.

require me to move my entire family across town, (and pay 3x as much rent to live in the city…)

Do it.

(I’m an American BTW.)

That’s not a problem with trains; that’s a problem with the rich and powerful having political influence.

I’m so tired of the news instigating outrage.

Trump’s tyranny itself is what instigates outrage, not the news’ coverage of it.

It’s not overused if it’s actually true every time. It’s just that reality is absurd.
