  • the website may be using some kind of polyfill to replicate the behaviour using javascript?

    Yeah, that's what I meant with "I understand that the dom.image-lazy-loading.enabled setting may not work with custom lazy loading implementations." and asked for different solutions.

    What happens if you disable javascript and test both pages?

    Good idea! It works with the 2nd one, but Behance doesn't even load without JS.

    Thanks for the help!

  • This is how I understand it: the 3 main alternatives for the author were:

    • Do nothing and comply with DC shenanigans.
    • Try to fight (legally) DC.
    • Make it public domain.

    None of them are ideal and, although (from what I understand... IANAL) you are right that with the 3rd one DC can do whathever they want, companies don't like when anyone can make any kind (gore, porn, furry porn...) of fanart with their products. If Fables ends up being identified with not-safe-for-monetization stuff, it could be dangerous for them. Imagine the possible "won't somebody please think of the children?" juicy headlines about it.

    But I think the main reason is that this makes it a problem only for DC instead of it being a problem for the author.

    EDIT: As pointed in other comments, they would also loose the exclusivity over the product and merchandising. They would need to compete with very cheap legal-knockoffs.

  • I've been waiting for years for "non-destructive edition" (AKA smart objects). It's a fundamental feature that I use (almost?) always as a first step. IMHO a lof of professional work is not practical without it.

    They had it on the roadmap (see 2020 archive) for years marked as "No[t started]". The current roadmap looks more promising with "link layers" marked as WIP and saying it could be available on GIMP 3.0.2.

  • LightDM says it's a Display Manager.

    I know that naming is hard but, oh my..., terms are so confusing when you're starting:

    • Desktop Environment
    • Windows Manager
    • Desktop Manager
    • Display Manager
    • Tiling Window Manager
    • Compositing Window Manager

    ... I'm still not sure which ones are synonyms, sub categories or independent components :/.

  • I'm an ultra-noob, so those who know more please correct me.

    I'm playing with Linux VMs and recently I installed Debian to check it out. When it asked what DE I wanted, I chose all of them :).

    The only hard conflict (AFAIK) is the compontent / feature responsible for loging in (I don't know the technical term). Because each DE comes with a different one, you need to choose one.

    What I found very confusing in practice is that I could see some DE apps and configuration settings from other DEs. So, unless you know what belongs to what, it's a bit of a mess (in my VERY limited experience).

  • Oooh... I see. I didn't understand how broad the Desktop Env really are. Is not that they manage "a lot of things regarding the desktop and windows"... is just like a bundle of apps.

    Now it's starting to sound like a sub-distro inside the distros, but I think this is a good point to stop bothering you. Thanks again!

  • So, just to check I understood:

    • "[Tiling] Window Managers" are a very specific tool.
    • "Desktop Environments" are broader tools that (may?) contain Window Managers.

    Now... the next questions (if you have the patience :P) are:

    • is is possible to use a Window Manager without a Desktop Environment?
    • how does this influence your choose for the terminal emulator? Ó_ò

    Thanks for the answers!

  • Sorry for the off-topic question, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around basic linux concepts: you use "tiling window manager" and "desktop environment" as if they were mutually exclusive options. What's the relationship between them?

    Thanks!
