(Read before Comment) Why you don't like GIMP UI?

I'm supposed to have energy as an adult?! I have way more time than energy. Most of that time is spent doing useless shit like watching YouTube because I'm too exhausted to do anything useful
I recently tried to get Wayland working. Followed a simple guide to enable some NVIDIA boot parameter. Somehow it fucked my complete grub and I couldn't boot until I messed around a fair bit with live usbs. Cost me a whole evening.
So I guess what Wayland is missing is normal support from the GPU manufacturers.
I'm from the EU. I do the same. I hate getting calls. It forces me to drop everything I'm doing and suddenly switch contexts, which I absolutely hate. So I usually don't answer unless I expect the call or know the number. If it's important they can enter a voicemail or preferably send a message, either of which doesn't require an immediate response and is therefore a lot less annoying.
I'm 100% a cis guy so this doesn't apply to me. But I'd probably go for eepy princess because I'm always eepy. Or combine into the eepy tomboy because cool.
:3
Can, but not by default. The default setup is what leaves an impression on most users. Most users opening GIMP for the first time expect to be able to find stuff that they need, not have to first spend a lot of time getting familiar with all of its options. It shouldn't be needed to first spend time opening all the sane default windows and re-aliging stuff every time you boot it for the first time. At least, that shouldn't be the case of GIMP wants to be as popular with non-technical users like Krita is.
Also, the tool bar still doesn't have the nice separations between tool functions, and it still feel a bit more chaotic. Not sure of it's the icons or the order.
Man pages save me an online search multiple times per week. Not sure that you're no about
This meme is a joke. Of course the Netherlands is absolutely tiny, of course you can drive further in pretty much every US state.
Yuppers. I need CUDA for my machine learning projects, both for hobby and professionally. I considered AMD and their alternative at the time, but it wasn't supported on their consumer cards back then, and I also didn't fully trust their commitment. It's getting better though, so hopefully AMD can convince me for my next GPU in a few years.
Now admittedly I'm not someone who often uses drawing programs, but my biggest issue in GIMP is that I never seem to be able to find what I'm looking for.
In the two images you posted you can actually see an example of such a case. In Krita all the tools (or whatever you'd call them) in the bar on the left are ordered in a logical way, and separate types of tools are also visually separated by separator lines. The bar with tools is also only 2 icons wide, which makes scanning for the right tool a bit easier, since you can mostly just scan along the vertical axis. In GIMP it's just a pile of low contrast icons in seemingly random order. Unless you've used it enough to know the order, you're gonna have to do a lot more searching. And searching will be way harder since you'll have to search horizontally and vertically.
It's like reading a website where the text is taking the whole with of the screen and without paragraphs (GIMP) vs reading a website where the line length is constrained, the text is horizontally centered, and there are proper paragraphs.
I feel like this example reflects my personal experience with both. I've used quite a few different types of image editing programs, and with most of them I can fairly easily find the stuff I need. Using GIMP however, I used to be quite lost. Nowadays it's gotten better because the windows are not all floating around and I've used it more. But still, I only found Krita after using a fair bit of GIMP, and yet I felt instantly more at home because the UI was easier to navigate.
Edit: That being said, GIMP is a very cool program. I don't want to hate on it too much. It's helped me countless times. The UI has already improved a lot since the floaty window days, and I hope that continues.
Me after I spent a whole evening being unable to boot into grub after trying to get Wayland to work. Wayland will have to wait for a bit longer...
Tankies are definitely also authoritarian, and they also oppose anything western and democratic, but that doesn't make them Nazi's. Don't forget that the Soviet Union also murdered a lot of people out of the name of communism. These two ideologies oppose each other in many ways, even if the end result in both cases is horrible.
Where can I enroll for the non-binary nap time?
I'm not a hundred percent sure, but afaik it has to do with how random the output of the GPT model will be. At 0 it will always pick the most probable next continuation of a piece of text according to its own prediction. The higher the temperature, the more chance there is for less probable outputs to get picked. So it's most likely to pick 42, but as the temperature increases you see the chance of (according to the model) less likely numbers increase.
This is how temperature works in the softmax function, which is often used in deep learning.
How is Spotify a scam? I can probably at most buy one CD per month for the same price as Spotify. Yet Spotify gives unlimited access to good quality versions of almost every song out there. Even with raised prices it's still a way better deal for most consumers than buying music directly.
Personally I tend to also buy a few albums a year, because I like owning them and I like supporting the artists. But the convenience of having every track at your fingertips is hard to beat
Honestly it doesn't really matter to me. Depending on whether it's on the top or bottom I'll just put my phone in my pocket to make it point upward when I use it. I tend to use Bluetooth anyway most of the time, so the headphone jack is mostly there as backup and for connecting other audio devices at parties etc.
Sticky lines looks nice. Ideally I'd never encounter code where it's really needed, but unfortunately sometimes it do be like that. The extra context would make it a lot easier to follow what I'm reading
I've played Rocket League for more than 2000 hours since its release, but honestly I kinda felt like it was dying. Very little interesting new content, silly decisions like removing trading. I haven't played seriously for more than a year now. It's surprising to me to still see it so high up
I have nothing else to do, no external worries, and I feel motivated to work on my hobbies (programming, music production). Then I'll spend most of the day working on said hobbies, learning some new things and creating/adding something cool. Then in the evening I'll do something fun with friends. Maybe at some point I'll go for a walk or run.
Do people really constantly copy-paste code? If I don't know something I'll look it up, but then I'll read the answer and apply it to the code I'm writing rather than copying it directly. I rarely see a piece of code that I can copy over directly into what I'm doing, and even if I can it's usually not thr best idea because the naming etc would be inconsistent
You call it "quick to judge and superficial", but imo that's the wrong attitude. Every tool we use as humans should be designed to be as intuitive as possible. It makes it easiest for people to learn how to use a new tool. That doesn't mean that a tool cannot be complex or customizable, but the default experience should make it easy for new users to quickly achieve something. Once they grow accustomed to the tool they can tailor it their own way.
No tool has to do this, but if it wants to be widely used then this is kinda necessary.
There's a reason why there are whole fields of study into human media interaction, and why software companies hire UI designers. Everything that doesn't have to be explained in words and text because it is intuitive saves mental overhead for the user and makes the application more accessible.
