Damn, you have a store that specializes in maps, that’s cool

alyth,

That’s what I had in mind too. Tar’s arguments are really intuitive.

x - eXtract

z - use gZip

v - Verbose

f - File (requires the path as an argument)

Als Arzt und Geschäftsinhaber hast du 10000 andere Sorgen. Gut für den Arzt, wenn er mit seinem Email-Provider ein Problem weniger hat.

alyth,

i am genuinely worried about you. please reach out to a friend.

alyth,

I only use Windows in corporate settings and OneDrive / file management has been the single biggest pain point for me, by far.

  • Deleted files magically reappearing
  • Files not showing up after saving
  • Confusing save location of files
  • Confusing navigation in the file manger

Windows tries to copy Apple and fails miserably.

alyth,

this is the first i hear of Arc, is it available as an iOS app only?

alyth,

That looks clean, thanks for posting the screenshot!

Mozilla Corporation Org Changes - setting up Firefox as a standalone product organization (blog.mozilla.org)

Over the past few months, we’ve been accelerating our ability to execute outstandingly, make faster decisions, and realize our multi-product ambitions. To help facilitate this, I’m excited to announce an organizational change within the product team. This change will enable us to better develop and scale products at...

alyth,

How about you work on Firefox instead of “emerging pods around new product design sprints and ideation”

alyth,

It reads like typical corporate vomit.

alyth,

please be careful dude, it’s mega bad for your mental well being and especially your self worth

alyth,

It sounds like you have made some personal experience with that crowd xD

alyth,

here’s my last opened tux paint “art” for you https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/68d8b94b-a61e-4994-a493-7a253eafcfff.png

alyth,

Is anything I quoted untrue?

You basically quoted thin air: “more features […] for a wide range of advanced editing tasks”. You probably know more than what’s written there, but from my perspective I haven’t learned one concrete feature that PS offers over Affinity. It’s typical SEO spam, which rewards swaths of text with little to zero information density.

This is probably also pretty easy with some CLI tool.

This is one of the few image tasks I do on the CLI xD

Stack two images horizontally (left and right)

convert a.jpg b.jpg +append horizontal.jpg

Stack two images vertically (top and bottom)

convert a.jpg b.jpg -append vertical.jpg

Images are not the same dimensions? Use gravity to align them at the center and make the unused space transparent

convert a.jpg b.jpg -background transparent -gravity center +append horizontal.png

alyth,

I have no tips and agree with you 100% - never managed to get the fuzzy select or smart scissors going.

I’ve tried learning GIMP, and it sucks. I’m not saying GIMP sucks, but you have to be crazy to not see that it’s hard to learn.

I use GIMP for memes and here’s my two favorite tips

  • Hit the forward slash key / to open a command palette and jump to any action
  • To remove backgrounds, use a layer mask. select around the object and paint a white/black section on the layer mask. Here comes the trick: use a Gaussian filter on the layer mask to create a transition from black to white and the crop job looks a lot less choppy.

My anti-tip

  • Adding text and shapes sucks and I never found a way to make it better. Export your image and finish the job in Krita, Pinta, Photopea, …
alyth,

First google search result

if you agree with the opinion that’s fine, but why would you admit to posting SEO spam? XD

The speaker makes a lot of points with no evidence to back them up where he should have some. That’s alright if you want a conversation about browsers at the virtual bar table, but clearly not a great video essay. Some of his points

  • An incident in 2017 where Firefox installed a plugin called Mr. Robot without the user’s consent
  • Firefox’s default privacy settings are bad
  • Donations to Mozilla don’t go towards software development
  • The chromium engine has better performance
  • Use Brave (repeated about 100 times)
