This must be nonsense. No huge company with competent legal experts are going to allow a policy of blatant personal property theft.

They’re evil but they’re not stupid.

It looks like this was asked in a GIMP forum, […] It’s super rude to ask that in that forum.

Why? Just because you’re using a forum for a piece of software, presumably because you want to receive or offer help on using the software for the most part, doesn’t mean you’re obsessed with it and hate all other alternatives that exist.

It’s software, not a religion. These people need some perspective.

Imagine being in a community where being asked about alternatives is considered extremely rude. What a weird group of cult-like obsessives that would be. Creepy o.O

Also regarding why one would ask GIMP users about alternatives, theoretically these would be the best people to ask for GIMP alternatives. They presumably know the software well, and have probably tried alternatives (because they’re not obsessive weirdos that worship a single brand image their whole lives), and can give good answers on what alternatives exist and how they compare to GIMP in its current feature set.

They may even actively use multiple softwares on a regular basis. There’s no law against using GIMP and one or two similar pieces of software that perhaps have slightly different features or are better at one thing vs another.

It’s not rude to put a reasonable question about a piece of software and how it exists in the ecosystem to a group that knows a lot about that software. It isn’t a sacred holy cult object of worship. It’s just a program.

Fascists gonna fascist.

That really is depressing.

That young kid should be enjoying this one special night that they’ll remember for the rest of their life, not buried in their phone screen working on something.

I hope whatever they were doing didn’t take long, and they were able to put the phone away and make some lifelong memories <3

Wallet…app?

My wallet is in my pocket, it’s got some cash, my cards, a plaster in case someone gets a cut, a clothes pin in case a button fails, and a spare hayfever tablet.

How am I going to pay for things in person using my phone - which is mostly the point of a wallet - if my phone battery is dead, or I don’t have any data left for internet usage, or my phone crashes, or the app stops working, etc?

And why would I even have to pull my phone out at all, and risk it being snatched and stolen by a passing thief if I’ve got a perfectly functional debit card and cash in my actual wallet, which I don’t mind having stolen anywhere near as much…

Yeah, it does a fab job of giving me playlists in each of the moods/genres/decades I tend to listen to most, giving me a mix of tracks I know and stuff I can discover. I’ve found sooo much new music I love that way!

The AI voiced DJ is fun too, it’s surprising how psychologically satisfying it is to have a personal lil DJ, even when it’s basically just generating those same playlists under the hood, with a few tweaks.

I’m glad there are offline/open source solutions people are posting of course, I don’t want Spotify to ever be the only choice or some kinda monopoly. But yeah, if you’re happy using a service like that and spending a reasonable amount on a subscription, it’s fantastic :-)

“Do you still need to be allowed to decorate and modify your own home?”

Yes.

Discord isn’t a forum and shouldn’t be used as one, but it’s a fantastic community chat room/hangout space. It’s my main hangout these days :-)

Thanks for trying to help, I appreciate it :-)

That’s the screen I’m on yeah, but there’s no option to view saved comments, it only shows saved posts. The tapering hamburger menu on that screen doesn’t give me the option to view saved comments, though it seems to give other people that option?

Hmm, I don’t have that option when I open that menu from my Saved screen.

I updated the app just in case it was a recent addition, but still nothing :-/

Quick note, I saw the new “Scaled” sort option, not sure what it does yet but anyway on my home screen it gives the error “400 an unknown error has occurred”, maybe lemmy.world isn’t running 0.19 yet I dunno, if that’s the case maybe a more descriptive error would be good, just to explain it’s not necessarily some unknown issue?

Also a more visible one, I almost didn’t spot the little text popup near the bottom with the error in it at all haha, only after I tried it a few times.

Anyway, all my love!

Hmm I have “Mobile Data Saver” on, which is supposed to load smaller images, but I assumed that would only save data on mobile, and not impact WiFi usage. Hmmm…

I’ll look for the Load HD images option you mentioned too.

Now you mention it, this is sorely needed. I guess there’s no way to implement it just in the client?

It’s just, sometimes I come across a really triggering post and I need to hide it from my feed to ensure I don’t come across it again by accident later, and yeah, that’s just not a thing currently.

I hope Lemmy adds it, it’s important.

(I don’t want to hide posts ive read, I like to go back to things to see new comments and updates and stuff)

I’ll update now, thanks!

My feedback in general is just…everything works. I’ve not been searching for new communities and stuff for a while though, and I don’t use PMs and things, so I’m probably missing out on a lot. But what I’ve used has been great :-)

I use this FTP server, works brilliantly.

Don’t tell me this DMCA thing is just a broken USA thing that the rest of us are forced to endure?

I thought, being as it affects the entire globe’s internet community so gigantically, it would be a legal framework agreed upon internationally.

If it’s just some thing the Americans made up and fucked up implementing and that’s why creators in my country and around the world suffer, that’s shite.

Can I log in to my Google account in the browser and have it sync all of my stuff with my account though? Bookmarks, visited pages, etc etc.

That’s the thing that makes it hard to switch to something else on PC too, I need my Google account integration, and other browsers just don’t seem to support it :-(

I’d absolutely love up switch back to Firefox, it was my browser of choice before Chrome was released, but I do absolutely want to keep all my Google account integrations at this point.

We’ve all agreed that when he dies it would be disrespectful to keep using Linux so we’ll pack it up and switch to Windows from them on.

It would bug me to no end that the trackpad is off centre haha

Once you’ve figured this out, tell me about it please! :-D

I was just thinking about how I miss this screen the other day haha
