A lot of the hate GIMP gets is people coming from Photoshop expecting it to work like Photoshop. In fact that’s true for a lot of Adobe-like open source projects. That’s why “industry standards” are dangerous and really only exist to keep one company rich.

Ah yes… Lords of land… The greatest of leeches.

They really are stupid aren’t they.

The end scares most people so much that logic gets thrown out the window.

The 50s happened.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. I appreciate it and your perspective. Logically I can understand and accept what you’re saying, but emotionally I’m not so lucky.

I’ve struggled with my mental health for most of my life anyway, but I lost my wife, 2 cats, FIL and everything I owned in a house fire that I, for whatever reason, walked away from last April. I’ve spent the last year trying to understand it, and the conclusion I’ve come to is death. No matter the highs or the lows, the recognition of the present or the expectation of better days, death seems to hold the most weight. I’m tired, you know? Not like a long day tired, but like my soul, if it exists, is tired.

I’m in therapy and have been for years, and I know the tricks pretty well. I have a cat and a few friends that for better or for worse guilt me into staying, but they don’t know this pain thankfully. We’re all going to die one day anyway so what’s it matter if I, 1 meaningless person out of 8 billion, goes early? That’s where I weigh the pros and cons.

I weigh the pros and cons of committing suicide every single day.

Yeah I wasn’t joking.

My brain started working.

Says the guy a picture of himself could replace.

Doh!

Just buy an old Japanese Honda or Toyota and keep it running forever. No one needs a “new” cat at this point.

Edit: car not cat but leaving it for lols.

*corn and soy fields

Sorry I’m not a fan of having a company create both the problem and the solution and then forcing the industry to go asking with it.

Or switch to an AMD GPU.

They’re a bit expensive up front, but I’m really enjoying my Framework.

Lol Nvidia has quiet the reputation in the Linux world. Keep at it though. We all make mistakes.

Lol don’t tread on me, right?

This person is a lazy bones.

A lot of non creative types in this thread. We get it, guys, your mom didn’t like the Valentine’s card you drew her egg you were 10.
