mightyfoolish , to mildlyinfuriating in I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp.

I don’t do photo editing (Gimp) or drawing (Krita) but I have followed many aggregated blogs such as Planet KDE, etc over the years.

I got the feeling that most people have a hard time moving or transiting to Gimp. I have seen some posts from people who love Gimp but they seem to be a miniority. On the other hand, I got the feeling the drawing community love Krita and think it’s worth learning. Krita even shows up in unexpected places such as Godot tutorials on YouTube.

mightyfoolish , to linuxmemes in GNU-Linux

I agree, outside of very, very few people it’s just a stereotype.

mightyfoolish , to linuxmemes in GNU-Linux

get upset about it being referred to as gnu+Linux or gnu/Linux

I would say it’s the opposite. Certain people get angry if you do not refer to it as GNU/Linux. These people used to be technically correct.

GNU tried to rewrite Unix from scratch under the GNU GPL license. They view their copy left license (a license where if you incorporate any code under their license, you must release the code of your project as well) as morally superior. Their kernel didn’t work out, but Linus Torvolds wrote another kernel for that GNU OS.

Obviously, GNU wanted credit for the OS components that were not Linux. That’s where the copypasta about “What you are using is in fact GNU+Linux…” came from. GNU is the heart of the free software movement so they have their fans as well that of course would also make that claim.

Of course, as the meme in the OP suggests, you can now have a Linux distro that either does not use code owned by GNU or uses very little of their code. I would argue Ubuntu, Arch, etc still are technically GNU+Linux as they use GNU’s C compiler, their C implementation, their userspace programs like Bash and grep, etc. However, Alpine uses alternatives to GNU software such as the musl C implementation.

mightyfoolish , to world in Hundreds died during this year's Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia amid intense heat, officials say

It just feels off to me that only war could bring someone to martyrdom. There’s no way a religion wouldn’t honor those who died putting in effort. I would argue that the idea runs contradictory to pretty much any religion with a central Deity. People wouldn’t put in the effort otherwise.

According to Wikipedia (not definitive but at least this source is universal) the first martyr was a woman who did not die in a war. She was murdered for converting. This page also lists sources for ways to be martyred in nonmilitary efforts.

Here is a thread I found on reddit called Explain To Me Martyrdom that also states not all martyrs die in war.

mightyfoolish , to world in Hundreds died during this year's Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia amid intense heat, officials say

Allah: “As faithful Muslims, I command you to make a pilgrimage to the desert in the middle of June.”

Muslims: “Yes, O Lord!” [Proceed to die of heat exhaustion.]

Allah: “Ha ha! Fuck you!” [Goes off to hang out with the virgins those guys didn’t get for not dying as martyrs.]

Why aren’t they martyrs? They literally died for their religious belief.

noun One who chooses to suffer death rather than renounce religious principles. - The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.

mightyfoolish , to world in More than 550 hajj pilgrims die in Mecca as temperatures exceed 50C | At least 320 of the dead are from Egypt and Saudi officials report treating more than 2,000 people for heat stress

Is this a joke or do you have a source?

mightyfoolish , to world in China's Xi accused the US of trying to trick him into invading Taiwan, but said he won't take the bait, report says

use the term invasion is if the place is outside the borders of your country.

The land of the Uyghurs which is called Xinjiang literally means “New Frontier.” Even through language, it’s obvious this land does not “fit” with the rest of China but it does not stop the Chinese government considering it their own land. (FYI the Uyghurs are a Turkic people while most of China speaks Sino-Tibetan Languages).

mightyfoolish , to pics in Main road to Grindavík (Iceland) is covered under lava

I’m just poking fun of the reputation it has. I hear crazy rumors about East Cleveland from “mayor stole all the funds” and it’s normal to find human remains in your yard. Mind you, I also live in the urban Midwest, it’s just East Cleveland seems next level bad.

I have noticied South Euclid is getting nicer. NE Ohio has potential, it’s just so resource starved.

mightyfoolish , to technology in McDonald’s will stop testing AI to take drive-thru orders, for now

This would also be nice. Usually, I only order fast food if I can place a call first (Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Pizza, etc). Grubhub fees are ridiculous or and apps are always taking your data.

mightyfoolish , to pics in Main road to Grindavík (Iceland) is covered under lava

Picture reminds me of East Cleveland (not to be confused with the east side of Cleveland; “East Cleveland” is it’s own city. The roads are this bad but I’m sure anyone who could fix the roads are too scared to go there…

Also looks like Detroit after some rain. The right lanes literally flood.

Midwest needs a redesign.

mightyfoolish , to pics in Main road to Grindavík (Iceland) is covered under lava

Saw my first cybertruck in person while on the highway today. It was pretty funny looking. Also, I doubt many vehicles were created to ride lava; let alone uneven terrain to this degree.

mightyfoolish , to technology in McDonald’s will stop testing AI to take drive-thru orders, for now

Why not just have a touchscreen menu then? You already need large screens so people can confirm the AI recorded their order correctly and this will skip the need of a person manning the drive through menu. You could even include options to “hold the pickle”, etc.

mightyfoolish , to android in Qualcomm admits: the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 is just an "enhanced version" of the Snapdragon 695 - GSMArena.com news

There is a pro side to everything. The 695 will have longer support in the aftermarket/ROM community since it essentially got a rebranding into a “new” product. That $300 Oneplus N30 is looking good right now.

mightyfoolish , to news in Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during pandemic

Didn’t he point at his own butt when he mentioned the light thing? I guess he wanted someone to shine a laser pointer through his butt.

mightyfoolish , to news in Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during pandemic

Covid is related to SARs which East Asian people seem more susceptible to. This is very evil. Well, hopefully this was only under Trump’s turn, Biden doesn’t need more ammo for Genocide Joe.
