Looks like a wizard.

I had used gimp for years until my latest install of Linux had Krita already there so I gave it a shot. Holy hell do I love using Krita now.

Nonshade to gimp, I still like gimp, but I love Krita.

Is anyone else hearing that Adam Sandler song “phone, wallet, keys” right now?

Its really dumb, but Down Periscope.

I guess it depends on how “standard” is defined. Ie, its pretty standard for shirts to have 2 arm holes, one head/neck hole, and one body hole and therefore they work for the vast majority of users.

Garuda Linux hands down. Arch at its core but has just enough hand-holding for me to be comfortable and able to do most things via a GUI out-of-the-box.

I might not have made the switch when I did if I hadn’t found this distro.

Bazzite for an honorable mention, running it on my laptop and recently had some update troubles as it hadn’t been booted up in a while and ended up rebasing to the newest image (and discovered there was a specific image for Asus laptops with nvidia GPUs). The rebasing process really WOW’ed me…

Exactly. The average Joe sees he can’t just download hacks and suddenly be good, assumes the anti-cheat works, and then when they still get owned complains about something else instead of cheaters and is happily giving shady game publishers the highest level access to their computer like its nothing.

Anti-cheat doesn’t actually need to eliminate cheating, it just needs to make the masses think it works by slightly raising the bar for entry into cheating. Cheating is still rampant, players just feel better about it and complain about smurfs more because they dont think its possible to get around kernal level anti-cheats.

Honestly I’d be much happier if the industry moved away form terrible anti-cheat software in general.

Same. Parts designed in freecad take me about 10 times longer and have about 1/4 of the “polish” and nice finishing touches compared to the ones I’ve done in fusion.

3d printing and even designing my own basic parts/items. Seems daunting as all hell to get right but honestly it wasn’t that bad to figure out. Fusion360 was a dream to learn. I’ve been trying to make the switch to freecad and struggling though. :(

Well god damn it, you got me. Lol

Here here. And I know some modern word processors already put a slightly larger space after a sentence, but it isn’t two full spaces and that mostly only happens in non-monospace fonts where a space character is barely a gap to start with. Two full spaces after every sentence. Yes even in SMS where there is a character limit. If I can’t fit what I want to say properly then I’m not saying it and these damn kids can rot in their unintelligible run-on looking dribble.

My install does not seem to do this. I removed the windows drive when installing Linux on a new drive. Put both drives in and select which one to boot in the bios. Its been that way for about a year and, so far, grub updates have never noticed the windows install nor added to grub.

That’s with bazzite, can’t speak for any other distro as that is the only dual-boot machine I own. Bazzite does mention they do not recommend traditional dual boot with the boot loader and recommend the bios method so maybe they have something changed to avoid that?

Oh cool. I somehow completely forgot about balloons in general, lol. Thanks for the history!

Wat?

That’s like 20 years old… An i7 is more accurate to the comic about a 10-year old laptop.

Today I learned… My mistake. I was basing solely on the experiences I have had playing with the phones of 2 people I know that have them (one is the fold, one is the flip), the screens did not feel like glass screens to me, felt more like some type of plastic touch screens.

They aren’t glass screens.

Staged a coup in my Archage guild, we managed to get away with basically all of the guild assets.

Joined guild, made friends with one of the officers and his small in-group of pvpers. Was a reliable asset and helped us get a couple of merchant ships and a galleon, plus had farms just full of high value trade packs.

Problem was the GM and I didn’t get along very well. She wanted to dictate how we named the ships in a way that I felt was cringe as hell and generally wasn’t open to input or criticism at all. One day I logged in at like 2 or 3 am when no one else in the guild was online and I just left the guild. Next day I logged in and sent messages to the people I’d made friends with and told them the GM kicked me, since it was well known she didn’t like me.

Stoked the flames for an hour or so and convinced most of the in-group to quit after we took all the assets we could. Drew a giant dick with barley plants on the front lawn of the GM’s player house and then they all g-quit.

She raged for months, shouting in global chat that we were a bunch of pirates anytime she saw us, and tried to gank us multiple times, poorly. It was glorious, but I never told any of them what really happened.

We also invented boatnado. The bouancy physics had a fun glitch where you could make a merchant ship spin on its end at an ever increasing rate and the mast would just fire any ships that got too close off into the horizon. Never fully managed to weaponize this discovery, but we had a ton of fun with it.

People have the ability to block communities as they see fit individually and also follow whatever communities they want and only browse their subscribed list. (steering wheel)

But when popular communities are on an instance that is very much “get on board or get out” to the point they ban users from every community on their instance for having differing political views, it is very much reasonable to try to start or promote communities run on different instances controlled by better admins. (where the roads go (ok, so building roads is a bad analogy, it is more like when a place has terrible sidewalks so people walk through the grass and they wear in those little dirt-path short cuts and eventually no one uses the sidewalks))
