That’s what I thought. People keep saying Krita is a great alternative to GIMP, Photoshop, and Affinity Photo, but photo editing is not its focus at all.

Isn’t Krita more focused on digital painting than photo editing? I always end up going back to the GIMP because of that even though I use KDE.

True, but my point was that the reason Hillary Clinton lost wasn’t sexism, it was the electoral college.

I will add that broken systems need to be acknowledged or we will definitely be stuck with them forever.

Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. She only lost because of the electoral college, which is an antiquated concept that needs to go away.

Kamala Harris lost because she was a terrible candidate who was shoehorned in at the last second after it became apparent that Joe Biden was unfit to run for a second term. The Democrats and media lied about Biden for so long that it was too late to hold a proper primary. And by then, enough people were so upset that they just didn’t show up to vote, especially since the media kept telling everybody she was going to win for sure.

Fun fact, it’s a carryover from when dial service was first implemented in the United States!

In the beginning, you’d pick up the phone and hear “Number please?” and then you’d tell the operator the central office name followed by the number, like “Bubbling Brook 3-2468” or “Murray Hill 5-9975”

Once dial service was implemented, you’d instead hear the dial tone and then dial the first two letters of the office name, followed by the rest of the number (BU32468 or MU59975), using this arrangement of letters.

Once phone numbers went to all-digits around 1961, the letters on the dial got repurposed for numbers like these. Of course, they got repurposed again for T9 texting and contact search.

The vast majority of people fill up in the morning. Then they accused us of making them late for work.

The issue is that the GNOME devs have made it VERY clear that they don’t want you doing this.

Ubuntu originally came out because Debian Sarge took much longer than usual to get released, and everything in Debian Woody was woefully out of date in 2004. KDE 3 and GNOME 2 had been out for a while but the latest Debian was shipping KDE 2.2.2 and GNOME 1.4. Ubuntu’s philosophy was to provide a more up-to-date distro for regular people.

I’ve been using Linux long enough that I used Debian Woody.

Yeah, and the GNOME team sees people using extensions, breaks them, and says “No, you WILL use it OUR way or else!”

Whenever I’ve tried GNOME, I’d say about 75% of the extensions I’ve seen recommended as recently as a year prior were now broken on the latest release. And apparently GNOME really hates the idea of a systray/AppIndicator even though most distros and users want it, other desktops have it, and Mac and Windows have it

Before Ubuntu existed, most distros aimed at newcomers shipped with KDE as the default. I’m not sure why Ubuntu went with GNOME as the default, but since Ubuntu came out, everything shifted to GNOME.

GNOME is definitely not going for a single UI that will please everyone. They’re going for a UI that you WILL use THEIR way, or else. And they WILL break any extensions you use within the next release or two. Which is an odd design philosophy for a desktop for an OS aimed at people who like to tweak.

I agree that KDE is better for newcomers. I’ll never understand why the newbie-friendly distros tend to favor GNOME.

Seriously, most people still have no idea how evil Reagan really was. He did a lot of damage to this country that led to the situation we are in now.

Reddit is such a weird place. A lot of left-leaning people are still on there, even though spez worships Elon and even named Elon as the “inspiration” for all the stupid shit he did to Reddit.

That, and he just fires anyone who gives him news he doesn’t agree with. And we all know how Trump feels about climate change.
