i still do not understand how people can think gimp is that bad. Sure it’s not optimal by any means, but comparing it to blue text on a red background is obviously hyperbole.

Uh, yes if you drive a car that runs on petrol products then you are very clearly partly responsible for oil spills.

Just because it’s a small amount doesn’t make it 0

IMO the best thing you can do is treat this as a divine calling to try lower-tech alternatives wherever possible.
Try painting with watercolors, animating in claymation, etc… Best case you realize it’s even more enjoyable, worst case you now know that you actually need the computer.

I’ve kinda defined myself by being a computer/tech nerd, so these past few years have been quite sickening on a very deep level for me, but focusing on physical and old-timey stuff has helped a lot.
Just something simple like turning off my desktop and using my laptop to watch youtube while eating at a different table, so i get some sense of “i’m sitting down to eat dinner now” does a lot.

“the genie is out of the bag” is quite possibly the single worst reason to use something

if the tools you use are covered in blood then i’m going to politely yet firmly ask you to leave, and call another plumber.

we don’t even have to build anything new, aside from installing heat pumps which we should be doing anyways for a multitude of reasons such as “i like not dying of heatstroke”.

Just overcooling/heating your home when electricity is cheap can effectively store a very significant amount of kWh.

right? You only have to go a couple of years old for the price of a refurbished phone to absolutely plummet, and that’s for as-new quality!
If you go for one that’s just a little bit scuffed but still perfectly functional you can get something indistinguishable from a brand new phone for a quarter the fucking price

same, the only big improvement i’ve gotten is going from 60Hz to 120Hz display, and i really can’t think of any more major improvements that would be possible.
Sure, it’d be sweet to have more battery capacity or better cameras, but the standard has been more than sufficient for any sort of normal usage for years and years now.

which is why you only buy unlockable android phones, lineageOS is if anything only going to make your device faster every update.

am i sleep deprived or does the headline say a completely different thing than the actual body of the article? surely neighbourhoods and cities are not the same thing???

great thing about git is that you can just set up a gitzillion different repos and push to them

if you posses the vast cosmic power of not having crippling social anxiety, you should contact them and beg them to make the information available literally anywhere else as well.

unfortunately the problem is that “aren’t technically filling the same space” is a big understatement, they’re further apart than lemmy and mastodon are and i highly doubt anyone here would consider moving to mastodon even remotely sensible, they’re just utterly different structures.

It’s been perfectly fine for years, could certainly be made easier to visually parse but like… it does the job, it works, it’s fine.

it exists lol, just make a circle selection and then “stroke selection”

ironically i find inkscape vastly more intimidating than gimp, inkscape’s interface is barely comprehensible at all whereas gimp is just slightly clunky.

it’s like they’re doing everything they can to make the sabotaging of datacenters as appealing as possible, next step is to label every datacenter with the value of the components inside.

yeah right sorry, i forgot there are no ways to hide traffic or limit what’s accessible, it’s just fundamentally impossible 😔

i really hope reticulum could enable easy wifi meshing, that should be rather revolutionary. Imagine people in apartment buildings being able to share their unused wired bandwidth!

I would straight up ban them and just make an “official” post when it can reliably be claimed that it’s reached a 5-point interval, e.g. 5/10/15/20 etc…
