Contributing to github is contributing to Microsoft's AI poison which can steal your code from you regardless of license for another project that might use an incompatible license. To hell with github.

Support for all the hardware so we can quit using garbage Google-provided Android on every single phone instead of just the half-dozen or so phones some of these Free Android builds support. Amazing that I can install Linux on every single freaking configuration of PC that's ever existed with a very tiny amount of systems not having support for all of its hardware even if said hardware has never been freed or even officially documented, but not with phones.

The damn things will still be a privacy nightmare because your cell signal tracks you everywhere you go, but at least we'd have a Free OS for everyone's phone.

How have people not given TF2 a negative review long before this? It's been full of cheaters for YEARS AND YEARS at this point.

Cheaters with stupid hats and pointless alternative weapons. Game never should have lost its original focus.

I love how in a PRIVACY Lemmy community there are people who actually, unironically argue for a dystopian cashless society.

We're all fucked, aren't we?

The world is going to shit. The idea that you think all the "negativity" is bad and not the fact that the world is a horrible place and getting worse every single day is the reason the world is a horrible place and getting worse every single day. Denial of horrible practices, support for bad corporations, denial of science, logic, and reason, and all of this is what is making things bad, and every time I see someone try to inject some common sense into discussions about anything bad and how these people get downvoted and absolutely flamed is just another sign that there's really little to no hope left in the world.

So wait, if you're editing the original image, wouldn't the result just be wrong? I'm genuinely confused. You edit something, you want to change that, you should be changing what to you edited it to, right? Isn't that the only thing that makes any sense, because if you were editing what you had before, the change you make wouldn't be right in the context of the new edit?

And if you want to keep something, this is why we have layers. Which Gimp has and just works. That's the real way to do "non-destructive editing".

Maybe just not understanding how things work in PS because I've never used it extensively, but common sense tells me that if you edit something, you want it to look like that and any further edits would be on what you edited it to, not some unknown echo of the past that would interfere with how the image currently looks, which is what you should be editing, right?

Those reasons being stealing people's work for AI garbage.

Fuck Photoshop. Use Gimp and/or Krita.

You want "new features and more"?

Linux.

You're welcome.

There was a beautiful time back when I was young where we tried to change to metric and schools taught us nothing but. Now I'm ~50 years old and don't even know how many pints are in a gallon. Or feet in a mile. Always forget whether it's 12 or 16 that's inches in a foot / ounce to pound. Always have to look that shit up. Because they didn't teach us that garbage. Ever.

Guess what I NEVER have to look up? The measurements that tell you in their fucking prefixes how many X are in Y. What a concept.

TV and streaming sucks. Movies suck. I've seen so many of them in the past that there's really nothing new out there that's any good any more because it's all just rehashing and reimagining the past. Same with gaming. Same with books. And music. We're so buried under a ton of entertainment that we can just stop making new entertainment and watch everything done in the past and still have enough to last us our entire lifetime. So what's the point? If we're going to have streaming, give us everything old -- EVERYTHING -- for a very low cost or free with limited ads and stop making new shit for your platform, all on one service.
