Trillions of packages delivered successfully, but because some idiot thought waxpaper was a good packing for cookies we should throw out that system? I'd love to hear your thoughts on how such a system would work at that kind of throughput.

Sounds like the exact same thing, just slightly more abstracted. How many hurts is a dying?

Ong?

Finally a voice of reason. I'm in the same boat. Linux everything, including any standalone products I can load it onto. I can count on one hand the number of non-linux programs I use. GIMP's interface simply sucks. They know that, they've been given feedback since 1995, they just don't care. @CrypticCoffee is in here acting like GIMP just needs some support from the community but the reality is that they've neglected decades of feedback and so they deserve what they get. If that's negative feedback, then so be it!

Blender's UI used to be a dumpsterfire too, right on part with GIMP in my opinion. They straight up redesigned that shit from the ground up and now it's an amazing and intuitive powerhouse program, and they're 7 years younger!

The fact that GIMP is 2d and blender is 3d works in gimp's favor if anything. 2D is a whole lot simpler, and blender goes into animation, mixing, audio, dozens of specialities.

TL;DR, GIMP has had decades to improve, they don't, and they deserve to reap what they sow, both positive and negative.

One doesn't need to be a dev to have opinions about ease of use of a piece of software, don't be dense.

Lol that's a wild concept. $5 for 300 searches... so now when I go down a rabbit hole I have to count my searches.

Also, that gives them perverse incentives. If they make searching just a little frustrating they can get more searches out of you = more money. That's not right.

I abandoned ubuntu for that very same experience, found your Ubuntu zen on manjaro instead. Funny how it goes sometimes.

I'm using this one, highly recommend it! 240hz refresh rate, HDR, perfect for coding and gaming. Don't know if it's the exact same as the one in OP's pic, but same concept for sure.

It pretty much just gave you access to a subreddit where other members with gold could chat. The chatroom was dead, nothing of interest ever happened there.

When the MOTD became just advertisements was enough for me. I get that it's all within the ecosystem, but my terminal is not a space for you to advertise...

Just remember that because the face you see is always smiling doesn't mean they truly enjoy their life. For all you know they're so burned out and miserable, over the stress, and would kill to go back to a less stressful life.

We all have a tendency to see the grass as greener on the other side.

Absolutely. Computers are great at picking out patterns across enormous troves of data. Those trends and patterns can absolutely help guide policymaking decisions the same way it can help guide medical diagnostic decisions.
