“Climate warming as…”, NO!

There isn’t a climate warning now that rivers are drying up. This has been a warning decades ago. This is what has been warned about becoming real!

“Please make Gimp relevant” would be a pretty interesting pull request.

Ah. So gimp is going to stop being 15 years out of date and instead going to be just 10 years out of date. Cool.

That’s alright. I wash my butthole every time I got to the toilet. Basically I keep an old water bottle next to the toilet. It’s much more hygienic than simply drying off all the wet bits with toilet paper (as that’s essentially just what you’re doing. Your butthole isn’t really clean, you just removed all the moist stuff that’d stick to toilet paper).

You just need one: uBlock Origins.

Good for you! You played a game so much you personally stopped caring. But that’s just you and you alone.

There are whole communities out there that are all about retro games. You’re throwing them all under the bus for being perfectly fine about something no longer being playable due to an arbitrary and otherwise avoidable reason.

This citizen initiative, if successful, has the power to change the way games are built from the ground up, and is the sort of “tide lifts all boats” thing that’ll only end up benefiting everyone.

Finding the right mastodon instance was incredibly annoying. I use it, but barely. Most of the artists I follow are on Bluesky, anyway, which is a lot easier to use.

I played some Humankind recently for the first time, and it made me realise that Civ 7 is stealing a lot of their homework. Districts, civilisations, even the leader interact/diplomacy screen all look incredibly similar to Humankind.

Never had issue with this. For my work I’ve always used Blender 3D, Gimp, and Krita. The one thing that used to hold me back from using Linux was my Steam game library, but then Valve introduced Proton and all my reasons to stay on Windows evaporated.

Been a happy Linux user for a few years now.

It’s easier on my eyes. Which is anecdotal, but a large enough portion of the population use dark modes for the same reason. That is not coincidence, and it’s not something I’d write off as merely being hype.

There’s nothing new about dark mode either. Wikipedia is just slow in the uptake. Besides Wikipedia, dark modes have existed for more than a decade.

Hmm… Under normal circumstances, sure. But this is an odd thing to say in a conversation specifically about the subject.

Having read lots of books, I tend to prefer printed text a lot. Yet I still use dark mode as much as possible; it’s the glare. It’s irritating to read something on a white, glaring surface. Paper doesn’t have that.

I’ll read Wikipedia on e-ink, but on LCD I’ll use dark mode.

“Because” is spelled wrong.

Took a glance at it, not bad price range. I’ll be looking more into it. Thank you. ^^

Hmm, for drawing when travelling I wouldn’t be streaming or hanging out on discord, so being constantly connected to the Internet would not be a priority, just that it’s good for drawing without a mess of dongles and cables.

Not being able to upload a WIP or a completed commission to a customer might be annoying, though…

Yeah, agreed. XP Pen is great value for money. I had a second hand Wacom before and it wasn’t particularly better in any way.

Yeah, I mean something standalone, not something that needs to be plugged into a computer. I already have an XP Pen Artist 13.

Pretty sure my XP Pen’s refresh rate isn’t 165hz, and I find it perfectly fine to work on, so I don’t need something with such a high refresh rate.

At about 13 inches the resolution of the screen doesn’t need to be more than 1080p either.

Hmmm… The PineTab looks incredibly experimental still. It’s a option, but I’ll wait and see how the development of this one is going.

Huh… Yeah, you know what? I never thought of looking at second hand Surface tablets…
