Yeah I know, and I don't like that limitation. Lol. xD

To be honest with you, I didn't even know that was a feature. (Unless I'm misunderstanding you.) Sounds cool!

If I need to search a website, I use either Ctrl+F or the site: search engine operator.

Ohhh you know that makes sense. So, basically, what you're saying is this?

    
[Files] = [Files]

[Compressed Archive] = [Files] + [Archive Metadata]

  

Daughters of Darkness, by Halestorm.

Fuck yeah... Yo_oY

This is good news. There are a lot of great FOSS alternatives on Linux, but raster editing is one of the last few blind spots, I've found.

• Krita is designed more for painting,
• MyPaint also seems designed more for digital artwork (and, perhaps just in my experience, but it also seemed rather unstable and kept crashing)
• KolourPaint is very barebones (seems to be much more a replacement to MS Paint than anything else, so can't really blame it for that)
• Inkscape is a vector editor. 'Nuff said.
• Pinta is the closest to Paint.\NET you're gonna get on Linux, except it's based on before the latter went closed-source (bastard...) and as such it's not as feature-complete as Paint.\NET is.

GIMP, meanwhile, doesn't even have nondestructive editing and also can't draw basic shapes (like squares, cylinders, etc.), can't seemingly rotate layers without opening the [floating RMB menu] > Layer > Transform > Arbitrary Rotation dialog window, and good GOD the floating menus can go fuck themselves. How I hate the floating menus. Did I mention the floating menus suck? Not sure if I mentioned that.

Anyway, this switch to 3.0 is really needed and I'm genuinely excited to see the changes it brings, to the UI and the UX in particular.

Just a shame that they're switching over to GTK3 when most other developers seem to be transitioning to GTK4.

Why does it get bigger? I've wondered that for a while now.

I would think that compressing something that's already compressed would still compress it further but at diminishing returns.

His goal.

A VP could have the goal to increase profits by 500% over the next 6 months but that doesn't mean it's gonna happen.

It might happen, but just because someone says it's their goal is no confirmation that it will happen.

I see from the "View source" option that your comment has everything in a neat, line-by-line fashion, though the final markup is decidedly not.

So, a pro-tip I've noticed from my own commenting experience: even if you have a line break, Lemmy (for some stupid reason) won't apply one when rendering; so if you want it to show, you have to use two line breaks, though then there will be an extra half-line or so that you probably never wanted.

For example, don't do

    
Line Item 1
Line Item 2

  

but rather do

    
Line Item 1

Line Item 2

  

Yes, I agree it's rather stupid.

US, specifically southeast Michigan: Ramen, bread, and spaghetti, though as other commenters have said everything has gone up, so even these.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

...........Oh, sorry.

Hell no. If anything, it's gotten worse.

In their defense, however, it's probably largely not their fault. In my admittedly one-person-sample-size experience, 90% of the searchable Web is either Reddit threads or articles, and with Reddit going officially with Google (meaning DDG doesn't catch as many Reddit threads as they used to), that leaves most of the searchable Web being articles. Because SEO has to ruin everything.

So, it's not really that DDG is shitty (mostly), but that all searches are shitty. Though, with the whole Google-and-Reddit thing, I find Google's results are noticeably less shitty (though still shitty).

Oh shit.

Well that clears things up. Thanks for the explanation. thumbs-up

Oof, yeah I forgot about the metadata... What you say is certainly true and is worrisome.

Plus, most people who use email don't use encrypted email so even if they can't get a transcript of a conversation from my account, they can certainly get everything from the other account if they also scrape that platform.

No worries. Like I said, I recognize it's a nitpick so not a huge deal. I just thought I'd mention it. It doesn't invalidate your original comment or anything. :)

Lol yeah I heard about that. Apparently they also preemptively made post-quantum encryption illegal? Yeah, I don't like the US, but I'm not sure I'd wanna live in Sweden, that's for sure.

If that is the case, Iam concerned. o_o

Okay. I don't understand your point. It may be broken. It may even suck ass. But it's certainly not a scam.

What are they gonna do? Download gibberish?! Lol, it's all end-to-end encrypted with the decryption keys stored locally.

 

Edit: See below comment by @drascus@sh.itjust.works. Shit's still concerning.

Aww man seriously DuckDuckGo is on the list? Ugh... Welp, does anyone know of any good alternatives? (I hear Ecosia's not half-bad...)

the one thing that the wealthy do understand is class solidarity

Seems we in the working class should learn something from them. Too often we fight amongst ourselves (by design!) when we should be going after the rich.

Not sure about the Mail app, but the Calendar app was definitely slow, though I believe that's because it didn't have offline caching and just fetched from the site every time you opened it up. Terrible, lazy design IMO.
