Photoshop is perhaps the most complex piece of software you can teach yourself without relying on any external resources. It's the opposite of poor usability and this was even the case decades ago.

Gimp and the Linux desktop experience are not more sane UIs compared to Photoshop and Windows. Both have issues, but usability is not among them.

No, it has special source, because it 1) was literally the first practical photo editing software for home computers 2) has been in continuous development since 1987 and 3) is clearly designed for artists, not programmers. It's not just how long the development has been, but also how much resources have been poured into it compared to open source and other competitors - and to what end. Gimp may only be just nine years younger, but it's clearly (just look at its insane user interface) typical of an issue that is very widespread among open source projects: It's developed by programmers for programmers, with little regard for non-technical users and actual workflows.

Not all open source software suffers from this, but a ton does. It's frustrating any time I'm trying to get people to e.g. switch to Linux and other open source software; they often run into a wall of poor usability. This is the main thing that prevents mass adoption of the Linux desktop. The fact of the matter is, most developers of open source software are highly technical people who are developing this software for themselves and other highly technical people. This might be fine for you and I, but it won't win over the better washed masses.

Some people do actually use this software to make a living. That's not corpo-speak, it's a reality.

Anywho, I've never paid for Photoshop. Just updated my pirated copy every half-decade or so.

The latest flavor of trying to fix Gimp's UI by modifying it to look like Photoshop. These go back decades and usually end up being abandoned after a few years.

The whole premise is flawed. Gimp should be a viable program on its own, by having a UI that actually makes sense and not by copying the market leader, because this will always mean playing catch-up, it will always mean being seen as a lesser copy.

Let's be realistic. None of the FOSS alternatives come even close to Photoshop. Gimp has never been a good piece of software. Not to mention, if you're doing commercial work, you need the original software to reliably work with clients and others.

Ich kenne auch einen Fall aus einer Behörde:

Architekt lange tot, Erben zerstritten. Folge: Jede Änderung am Gebäude muss irgendwie mit diesen Erben (ich glaube mindestens vier Personen) abgesprochen werden. Das führt dann dazu, dass jahrelang Fenster undicht und defekt blieben, weil andere Fenster - die Orginale waren kostspielig extra für dieses Gebäude angefertigt worden - den Charakter des Gebäudes verändern würden. In den Büros gibt es maßgeschneiderte fest eingebaute Schränke, die nach Jahrzehnten auseinander fallen, aber nicht durch andere ersetzt werden dürfen, weil sie - alle mitklatschen - den Charakter des Gebäudes verändern würden. Usw. usf. Ist eine Vollkatastrophe.

Das Gebäude ist eigentlich ziemlich gut, zu Recht preisgekrönt. Sieht angenehm aus für einen so großen Klotz, die Lage ist fantastisch, es gibt viel Grün und noch mehr Licht, die Aufteilung ist durchaus durchdacht. Allerdings sind die Wege innen enorm lang, Aufzüge gibt es zu wenige (und die müssten auch langsam erneuert werden) und das Untergeschoss ist ein Kandidat für die Backrooms, so absurd gigantisch, sonderbar und verzweigt ist es.

Interessant ist, dass der Fahrer sich nach dem Unfall mit einem Opel Mokka zu einem (wenn auch umweltfreundlicheren) Downgrade entschied, dem Dacia Spring (kaum erkennbar im Foto).

Gerade mit Serienbereifung ist dieses Fahrzeug für eher dürftige Fahreigenschaften berüchtigt, was den Unfall sicher wahrscheinlicher machte.

I mean, it's an arena-based game with a small handful of mostly static car models pushing around a ball. Even in the announcement trailer, the new car models aren't exactly looking like they are made out of a billion polygons. This isn't an open world game either, so traversal stutter is out of the question already. Load in the entire arena and done. They can get away with static GI too.

Hardware requirements will be higher, but since this will have to run on Switch 2 and your run of the mill laptop with iGPUs, they won't be outrageous. I'll eat my hat if it doesn't run on the MacBook Neo with an old iPhone chip and 8 GB of total RAM. The overlap between the target audiences of this laptop and this game might as well be a circle.

Yeah, but what else can they do? There's a point where supporting an ancient engine and code base are becoming nothing but a headache and I suspect they are long past this point. Like I said elsewhere in this thread, UE3 originally released in 2004. Most players of this game were likely not even born yet by that year. Even the last stable build is eleven years old now.

You don't want two versions of the game either. This splits the player base in two and you still have to provide support for the old version. Sooner rather than later, this limb needs to be cut off. It's the least terrible option.

They could be used to fold molecules or sift through SETI signals though. The problem is that nobody can really afford to run them.

Solange das nicht alle machen, bist du dann schnell die Person, die stadtbekannt für ihre Kostümierung ist.

Wie viel Lack muss man eigentlich gesoffen haben, um es für sinnvoll zu erachten, für die Aufklärung eines 10€-Diebstahls das Foto eines Verdächtigen zu veröffentlichen?

Da ist man nicht zu Unrecht stolz darauf, dass Polizisten hierzulande als Teil ihrer Ausbildung Recht studieren müssen - und dann erlauben die sich dennoch so einen blanken Unfug.
