Extremely wealthy college friend refused to take the bus / train for this weekend trip
I used to do plenty of pixel art in MS Paint on Windows XP when I was young. Zoom in as far as it'll go, and the pencil tool works pixel by pixel. Just need a steady hand. You could even use the eyedropper tool, some modifier key I've forgotten, and the eraser tool to replace one color in the image with another if you were editing existing sprites.
So many silly recolor "OC"s. So. Many.
I find it helps to have a separated space from the business folks, or work from home.
One of the reasons I know I'm on a good team is I'll mumble something like "What the actual fuck? That shouldn't be possible." and I'll hear a coworker chuckle and say something like "So it's not just me having one of those days!"
I'm glad there are ways to get it working, and thank you for sharing it, but this doesn't qualify as "it just works, why are you idiots not switching from Windows when Linux just works".
This is directly why a lot of people don't take the arguments that Linux is ready for the average user seriously.
"What do you use this paintbrush for?"
"It makes colored marks on paper, duh."
What is your use case?
- Slapping text on a screenshot to make memes?
- Color grading photos?
- Digital painting?
- Crudely cutting out celebrity heads and slapping them on nude photos like some pervert with shaky hands, scissors, a glue stick, and some magazines?
- Marketing copy design?
- Professional portrait touch ups?
- Making those sweet ass 90s Rose Art airbrushed rainbow filled binder covers?
My <2 year old daughter "edits images" when I let her sit at my desk and slap around the keyboard and mouse with an image editor open. That doesn't mean that what she's doing is a comparable use case to Photoshop or other professional tools.
"Linux totally does this thing!"
"Cool, I want to use Linux to do that, what do I need to make it work?"
Gestures vaguely at nothing in particular, refuses to elaborate, leaves.
The "works on my machine" certification sure seems like an amazing barometer for usability.
Cool! But what does that have to do with ease of use compared to proprietary DVR tools?
Edit: Wasn't able to listen to any if the audio, just scrubbed through the video, read the title and description.
Thank you. All of this libre software is amazing, and impressive as hell, but that doesn't exempt it from having usability issues and other valid points of criticism.
Calling that out isn't inherently anti-Linux or anti open source. I want all of these tools to improve to the point that there's no fucking contest and they are the de facto standard (like blender is), but shit is going to have a harder time improving if people have blinders to valid criticism.
Beyond the other answers stating that this isn't real:
Teams doesn't do one off charges for functionality like this. All functionality is managed by licensing, managed through your workplace's Azure tenant. Don't have the license, don't have the feature. Need the feature? Time to work with Microsoft billing to get you a new license (or additional one) and then your IT team to have the license applied to your account.
There aren't usually any upsells displayed to end users. In our environment we've only seen a rare "this functionality is not available on your license, go complain to your admin" type message, but usually it just doesn't display unavailable options.
On top of all that, Microsoft is dumb, but not this dumb. Last thing their team of lawyers would want is for them to be involved in some sort of "involuntary pornography" case or something.
Unfortunately LastPass had some issues over the past years with hacking where encrypted vaults were stolen. Between myself and my friends in tech, I know of a few conpanies that ditched it after that.
For individual/personal use, I'd reccomend KeePass (whatever fork of it is up to date and maintained lately) and using somethung like syncthing to sync it across devices. That may not be super user friendly for non-technical users though, and I'm not sure how well it works with iPhones.
Careful citizen, it seems you've had a little too much to think.
More seriously, I wish you all the luck in the world with convincing people that their personal two minutes hate isn't a good thing.
Doesn't help that there's a lot of people down so low that idealogical elitism and self righteousness is nearly all they have going for them. It's a legitimate issue that there are a bunch of people who are so depressed about the state of the world that they end up defining themselves by the fact that they aren't part of the "bad group", so any humanization of that group robs them of something vital to them.
Copyright is regularly abused by large corporations in the pursuit of more money. Previously it was primarily used as a cudgel against individuals (against piracy, parody, and fair use). But now that their own rules are inconvenient to them they ignore its existence in pursuit of further profits.
Copyright to protect large companies? Fuck that.
Copyright to protect individuals from having their work appropriated? Yes please.
Copyright is already abused against individuals. Corporations already have these powers. What people want is the ability for these powers currently only available to the corporations to be available to the public. I've not seen anyone arguing for corporations to be granted more.
Trying to support individuals enforcing copyright against corps isn't going to change the fact that corporations alrwady have these rights, it's just trying to get corps to play by the same rules they apply to us.
Plus, any of the critically needed changes to copyright law would be fucking useless as long as we allow corporations to ignore what already exists for the sake of convenience.
Completely discarding concepts and arguments based only on the fact that they are associated with "the enemy" is dumb as hell. Likewise, "owners of intellectual property" != "only companies". "Owners of intellectual property" covers anyone who takes photos, writes text, makes art, or makes original "content".
Wow, what a trick! Much exploit!
"deceived victims into running PowerShell as an administrator and pasting in malicious code"
Once again, people are the weakest link.
Vaguely interesting delivery method. Spearphishing emails with an attached PDF with the instructions and the code to copy paste in it. Claims that it's the way to "register windows". Maybe putting it in a PDF bypasses email filtering?
Pretty sure the lead lemmy dev has said some transphobic things as well. They're a major tankie at least.
Thanks for the heads up, but I'm browsing lemmy on a device that is produced at least in part by slave labor somewhere along the logistics chain. At some point I think you just have to disengage from developer drama.
Ahegao? More like ahe-kerchow!
A user blocking an instance does not block the users from that instance from interacting with the user who blocked.
It's not well explained, but my understanding is that an instance block just prevents communities from that instance, and posts made by users on thay instance, from showing for the user that blocked the instance. Comments from users of that instance still show for the blocking user, and the block is one way anyway.
because it shuts out everyone on that instance.
But it doesn't. Unless they've changed the functionality in the last 3 major revisions or so, a user blocking an instance blocks all posts from that instance. Not the users or their comments on other posts.
It's an easier way than blocking each community from that instance individually.
I'm not going to try and justify the people who think it's ok to be bigoted towards white males. It's not ok. I'm also not going to pull the "those people don't exist" bullshit, because it's bullshit.
But no one of that particular flavor of asshat is here in this post or comment thread. So get out of your own head and get over yourself. For your own sake.
Complaining about misandrists and/or people racist against white people is not acceptable behavior publicly. At best it makes you look socially incompetent, and at worst it makes you look like someone who wouldn't mind being lumped in with nazis.
On top of that, the amount of people publicly anti-"every white male ever" is pretty damn low lately. Low enough that you can generally get through life as if they don't exist.
It's been over a decade since I've seen any news orgs worth mentioning run anything along the lines of "Young white men need to be taught not to rape".
If you can't escape it, change the spaces you're spending time online, and the people you are spending time around in real life. I haven't heard that sort of shit to any significant amount for a very long time.
Anything supposedly said by "Anonymous" as a hacker group should always be treated with immense skepticism.
There do exist somewhat legitimate sub-factions that actually take serious actions and do serious ops, and also semi-legitimate "outlets" for their statements... but there's also an overwhelming amount of smokescreen bullshit "anon news outlets" and little script kiddies running around. It's important/intentional that those continue existing as smoke screen for the more "serious" factions.
Beyond that, being an anonymous group with no real methods of confirming membership to outsiders (insiders can just check if you're in the private IRCs and etc) it means that just about anyone and everyone can make some big declaration like this. The proof will be in the results, not some announcement that could be made by a rando.
No matter who is really making these threats/warnings, I think things are going to get pretty dire in the US government IT space. It's been well known for decades that most government orgs have absolutely abysmal cyber security, and now you have a bunch of young adult tech-bros with no true accountability running roughshod over all of it. Then there's the fact that more than one of them have "serious black hat hacker" backgrounds.
Going to be one wild ride.
This is specifically not a commuter flight. OP mentions "the jet" as in this guy has or charters a private jet.
