I’ll just use invidious, it’s a bit of a chore to use, but it’s increasingly worth it.

Adding government ID to their data would hardly be anymore of a privacy invasion

Are you listening to yourself?

I don’t know, around 2002 it was only a bit behind, well outside of the weird ui and since then unfortunately not much has changed for Gimp. Back then I felt that they were quite interchangeable.

Photoshop has unmatched tools to get work done 15 to 30 times faster than Gimp. This does not apply to everything of course and in some niche stuff Gimp’s even faster. However what I use Photoshop for, such as removing unwanted distractions like trash cans, trash, overhead electric cables and such Gimp is like 30 years behind. It’s not realistic that someone would spend many minutes just selecting hair outline in Gimp.

Ultimately developing these tools has cost evil Adobe many millions of dollars. 1-3 extremely talented and enthusiastic programmers cannot compete with this. Then again in the near future we will either not need Photoshop anymore, or open source projects like Gimp or a more open minded fork could use Ai generated code to develop similar automated tools.

Gimp is not ready and the best alternative is the Windows only intensionally Linux incompatible Affinity Photo.

Hungary is not unique, Orban is just very loud. There are several countries in the EU where getting an Orban voted in is a real danger & it just happened in Slovakia as well.

This is the equivalent of kicking the US out of everything if they voted Trump…

Celeste, Hollow Knight, Talos Principle, Hyper Light Drifter…

I just wish he lived a healthier life.

Many retro games are better. AA games were made with heart back then & that made it possible to make games that are incredible both in terms of artistry, grandeur and gameplay. Games like Baldur’s Gate 1-2, Chrono Cross etc are not possible in today’s climate.

On the other hand we have been handed indie games like Celeste and Hollow Knight, so I don’t know. Amazing games still exists, it’s just not really comparable.

I don’t know if it’s a problem with experience.

I think it’s mainly these two things:

-Intermingling very old Ubuntu packages with bleeding edge KDE.

-The goal is to demo & test new KDE features and other considerations are secondary.

You only used it for a week and already had issues and the team did not even brick your system with an update yet. xd

Neon maybe has its niche (though I question the point of User Edition), but regular users should stay very far away. Arch is far more stable and it’s less effort to maintain it too. If you want stability and LTS go with Kububtu or Debian.

, or you think every single person that age is a “vertical video crazy”.

Sounds about right to me ^

I think people that are very interested in TikTok largely overlap with the vertical video crazies :-)

That’s amazing. (and FF8 is best FF)

Yeah

This is a really great read, but I’m less optimistic than he is.

The censors are not idiots, obvious sarcasm will get you in trouble just the same.

I think the gaming industry has not existed for long enough for this to be a thing. Chrono Trigger & Chrono Cross are just as good today as they were 20-30 years ago, same for Baldur’s Gate or Jazz Jackrabbit.

One example comes to mind is Oddworld: New and Tasty. It’s fairly faithful to the original game, but at the same time the updated 3d rendered graphics failed to portray the same mysticism & gloominess. (and yes I have played Odyssey just recently on my retro PC) Not saying no one has pulled this off, but it’s like Resident Evil is the only one I can think of.

There are VERY FEW games where pop culture references need to be updated so much that this is worth it. It’s better to just make a new game with a completely new plot then.

It just occurred to me that Death Really (1995) would deserve to be talked about as well, it’s just an incredible little game.
