ImageMagick is shit

I love ImageMagick despite its quirks; but then again I do not use it for professional use (well I do as a dev but I'm not a photograph or anything). What does XNViewMP does that ImageMagick doesn't ?

Because at first glance it seems much worse - it has a graphical UI for one thing which seems inappropriate for the usecases I see ImageMagick being used for.

Also that Filelist Creator thing has existed on unix since the 70s; it's called "find", "ls", and "awk".

I really recommend it, at least the first one, it's a classic and it's awesome; the later two are admittedly lower quality I think, unless you're really into cyberpunk.

The name is cool but the Tessier-Ashpool were bourgeois pigs

EMPRESS the batshit insane DRM cracker ?

Chrome is now - and has been for a while - actively a threat towards its users (on top of being one towards the web itself). Here is a recent list of hostile moves, for example.

In terms of threat towards users Windows 10/11 is even worse, by a large margin - it actively and very aggressively spies on you.

Use firefox and switch to Linux (I suggest Debian), comrade

Imaginary Property in general

Learning sign language sounds pretty cool but I'd be afraid to lose it even faster than an unused spoken-language if not actively using it

Also you'd be able to communicate semi-secretly like a fucking Bene Gesserit so there is also that incentive

None of us here are likely to "retire" anyway as climate-change-induced agricultural yields collapse will in turn destroy our modern societies before that

Are foreign languages classes in general not mandatory in US schools ?

Here in

I still do all this shit. I'll never switch to those DRM infested subscription services bullshit
