Out of curiosity, what's the issue with installing a different DE?

I can screenshot too

Note where you said "only ever tried Gimp", when they said they have, in fact, used Photoshop. Additionally, nowhere in that did they say they've not used anything else since then even, just not Photoshop.

But you think you've made some credible point here, and likely won't back down no matter how wrong you are, so go ahead and respond telling me some twisted logic about why you're right and I'm wrong and I can ignore it so you can walk away thinking you've won some useless internet points.

Same... I think Photoshop would probably feel difficult to me to get my head around at this point since Gimp's workflow is the one I've known and used for over a decade and a half now

I mean, even if that was what they said, that would make it and things that function like it more intuitive to them, wouldn't it? And someone who's used to a different workflow would find it unintuitive.

So yeah... Intuitive is relative

The problem with that, though, is if they changed the workflow to be like Photoshop, it would leave those of us who know how to use Gimp but not Photoshop high and dry

Gimp is intuitive to me at this point because I have some idea of how it looks at raster image manipulation from using it off and on for years. I have no clue how to do things in Photoshop that I can do easily in Gimp. It may be the better user experience, I don't know.

If they ever do that, I really hope they leave the option for it to work like classic Gimp in there, because people like me don't actually do image editing that much overall and relearning would be painful for much longer than someone who can deep immerse themselves until they get it. I'd hate to do it but I think I'd have to stick with an old version if that happened without any way to keep doing things the same way

Worse, the harder they try to stop it, the shittier the experience gets for their paying customers, but not for the pirates really. At that point, why would anyone want to pay for a crappy experience being treated like a thief when you can save your money and actually be a "thief" (at least in their eyes) while being treated like a paying customer?

I thought there was a registration fee for copyright, but I think I mixed it up with trademark...

Like, maybe tiered to something like 5 years: pay what it costs now, 10 years: 10 times that cost, and 15 years: 100 times, with a hard cap at 15? I could get behind that.

But just in general, how can you have the right to be forgotten without the right to anonymity? They're inherently bound together

I honestly wondered why they haven't done this yet for years

Thanks for the reply!

I'll probably just start messing around with things and see where they go, worst case I'll spend some time and learn some things

Sounds like they need better payroll processes to me

Unless you're suggesting that it would mean the worker wouldn't get paid? Yeah, no... They still owe for work done

One of the very few things from Florida I actually agree with

Ew.

At that point, take your kids out of school if you're that worried about them being able to say goodbye.

During the 99.99999999% of the time the school isn't being shot up, the goal is for the kids to learn. Even with as many school shootings as we have now, the odds of your kids being in one is still incredibly small. Way higher than it should be, but ensuring the kids are getting quality education is still the top priority on a day to day basis.

The exact quote was

how about no hardware vendor is allowed to produce software that only runs on their hardware

Why would this theoretical microwave vendor be making software for it in the first place to need to make it interoperate with other microwaves that inexplicably have software of their own?

No, they'll aim for minimum interoperability that the EU will let them get away with, and they'll push that line every chance they get

Doubt they would advertise a specific feature only to make it worse.

Not like companies have never done that...

Oh, believe me, I do

Ah hah! But is it more important than X?!

Yes. Nobody gives a shit about X.
