Yup. Lest we forget, Android is Linux-based, and it’s the most popular consumer operating system in the world.

As fun as it is to watch Musk do dumb stuff, giving him credit for killing HSR is a reach. There’s a really great article about it here — even Epstein was involved for some reason!

Well, to quote a classic film:
“Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.”
All Elon had to do was stick to the rockets and cars!
But no, he has to go pick fights with random people online and espouse stupid talking points. It’s like a masterclass in killing your personal brand.
New Coke was the 80s, not 70s — they actually briefly brought it back as part of a Stranger Things tie-in. Super interesting to actually taste it.
Attitudes like this are much worse for the health of the Fediverse, IMO.
A popular instance with users and content? Kill it immediately, we can’t risk people actually using the Fediverse.
I miss AskScienceFiction; it was always fun reading those in-universe answers.
There’s one here on LemmyWorld, but it’s pretty dead: [email protected]
Wow, the level of detail on this theme is really impressive!
As as aside, I didn’t realize that GTK had officially banned theming. That seems…dumb.
IIRC, my dad bought progressives from Zenni and said they were as good as the ones he got from an optician.
The sad part is that if this goes through, no more credit card rewards.
That’s the tragedy of the commons, and you’ll find it’s true for basically every possible societal organization.
Not OP, but personally I found their level of micromanagement a bit offputting, such as their deletion of every support-adjacent post.
I think so, I believe you can open them in Books via the Files app on iOS.
Depends on the platform.
If you’re on an Apple device at least, the built-in Books app works great for reading ePub files.
Literally a Unicode character:
The problem typically isn’t that the community doesn’t exist – the problem is that it does exist but is empty or mostly empty.
Anyway, I wasn’t aware that GIMP UX suffers, I’ve never used anything else and am happy with it.
My argument here is that by never having used anything else, you wouldn’t necessarily realize how much better other UX choices could have been.
That said, I do have to give the devs some credit, as they have fixed two major issues, by adding single-window-mode and unifying the transform tools. Having each transform be its own separate tool was just awful UX IMO.
The biggest remaining UX problem, in my opinion, is the way GIMP forces layers to have fixed boundaries. Literally no other layer-based image editor has fixed layer boundaries, because it makes very little sense as a concept. Layers should solely be defined by their content, not by arbitrary layer properties set in a dialog box.
Honestly I feel like this attitude is the reason GIMP’s UX suffers. They’re so determined to be “not like photoshop” that they’re unwilling to fix some of their more boneheaded UI decisions out of fear that they’d be seen as copying photoshop.
Remember that Android is Linux-based – so keeping that in mind, a massive amount of normal users use Linux on a daily basis.
I think the key is, operating systems are meant to exist in the background. If it’s working well, you don’t think about it at all.
I just wish Signal had better history and backup features.
