there are people who fuel their lives with hatred. for such people MTG is just the perfect representative. they don't care about anything else.

it's similar in many other countries today, not just the USA.

it's the other way around. that shitty gummy piece of crap on ethernet cables is annoying as fuck, and i even haven't had to plug it into network equipement that can be reset with it. but to reach the connector tooth under it often turns into a fight with gummy shitty 'protector' so i not once reached for scissors and cut that shit away.

accusations from conservatives are projection of themselves.

conservatives like to squeek "that's against god's will" but when conservative needs a heart stent or pacemaker to keep him alive, then god's will is not an issue. when conservative needs a kidney transplant, cancer treatment, or even glasses - there's no questioning against how god created their bodies.

as always, there's no biblical preachings when their asses and their life comfort are in question.

large number of conservative/rightwing blabbering about others, pointing fingers and blaming various imagionary boogiemen, with time somehow manages to endup as their projection. it's becoming a rule.

i remember rightwingers, the same who praise elon musk lately, screamed for months about implanting chips during covid vaccinations. oh the irony.

there are forks of code before the sellout and the releases are already out. use fdroid or obtainium. https://github.com/fossifyorg/

Isaac Asimov back in the 80ties: "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

their namecalling and pointing fingers into others, too often ends up as a projection, while their pro-something claims too often ends up being flat opposite.

he's being downvoted also because he's literally spamming every single thread about the landing on every community and instance with same-text posts, only the usernames varies depending on instance.

habit and practice. op himself said he believes gimp can do wonders, but he's migrating from adobe and is accustomed to photoshop's shortcuts, ui and workflow.

imho, people go wrong expecting same experience in different application. yes, gimp works very differently but when migrating, one should count on different ui and logic. afterall, ps also have learning curve in the start and none complains.

it's similar to users migrating from windows to linux, expecting same windows ui and workflow, blaming linux bad.

first thing i faced while distrohopping before i settle with fedora, is the instability of nvidia on linux.

it was short path to decision to spare myself of waiting for driver fixes, googling for driver statuses, waiting, posting questions, messing around, switching this and that in hope for better stability, getting frustrated in the end because wherever i search for fixes, there were posts about same problems with same subject: nvidia.

stable system throughout distro/kernel/driver/system updates is hugely more valuable than having GTX Ti 90000 inside my system and it was a very short bye bye.

since i ditched nvidia card and went for amd one, my system just works, it's been years, I've never looked back and very honestly, i couldn't care less about never ending stubborn struggle with nvidia.
