Yea from the US. I phrased it that way because I can actually bank vacation days and use them next year, up until a certain cap at least. Actually used it to take a long vacation in japan last year.

Maybe in their country? Weird one.

Just look at it as wear and tear. Doesn’t matter how miniscule it may be it’s still eating up your storage and battery life in addition to battery charge. Sure you could charge at work too for battery charge but as miniscule as it is it’s still killing your battery life.

Also, don’t give corporations any leeway because they WILL take advantage of the employee given the chance. For every single rule and regulation that helps the employee someone had to spill blood to achieve it.

I’m with you brother. I actually enjoy my job and my bosses are decent, they never micromanage or get in my way. Ill still take ‘sick’ mental health days off every 2 months or so just so they’re reminded how much of a pain in the ass it is without me here. I also take all my vacation time but it’s usually in one go for extended vacations. Gotta make sure they’re reminded every couple months though.

Might be a bit dramatic. All sectors of industry are using more and more tech, we have more people in the workforce now that are tech literate than we did decades ago.

These are random numbers to explain my point. Look at it this way, in the 90s maybe 20 percent of people knew how to use computers but 12 percent of those were truly tech savvy and knew the ins and out of using a pc.

Now a days 90 percent of people know how to use a pc (regardless of the form it presents itself, be it pc, phone, tablet, etc) but only like 30 percent of them might be truly tech savvy.

It’s still a step up from back then, and because of the nature of tech in industry there’s always gonna be plenty of people who know how to use pcs well and if there aren’t then that’s just more money for us who do know.

In paint 3d it’s open image > click crop button > crop > save. My mom could do it with no problem since the Ui isn’t cluttered with stuff and the crop button is right there.

Totally agree, sometimes I just need to crop an image and it’s not intuitive at all on the big programs. I’ve found paint 3D is fairly solid and non complex for most simple things one needs to do with images.

Photopea dot Com is pretty solid and it’s a website not a download. Has good complexities for the non profesional that wants to do more but doesn’t need or want photoshop.

They’ll literally never lower prices. Look at what prices for everything are right now. Their excuse was that covid was driving up prices, now that covid is over they realized they could charge more so here we are.

I find that to be a good thing. The less centralized institutions that can control what we do the better. I say that while social media is the biggest it’s ever been.

They’re making the same argument people make about music. There’s plenty of good music out there of all genres. Radio just doesn’t play it and you have to go out of your way to find what you like.

They’re not smart enough it figure out anything not mainstream. I heard most of the big sites blocked recently were live TV feed sites.

Last time I used gimp was like 6 years ago so take my opinion with a grain of salt but I do feel Photopea is easier to use.

I have no idea which one is more powerful but for the average lowly user like myself Photopea has had all I need and then some. It’s also a browser only application which for me is a boon but I can see some people preferring a download instead. I would recommend going on the site and messing around a bit to get a feel, it’s free to use.

The cerveza crystal edit wasn’t a meme edit. Iirc it was a totally legit copy of the movie aired in Chile decades ago when they got the rights to air the movie on their local TV. They wanted to make extra money and that company paid the TV station to do in movie product placements. They’re hilarious.

Dude I did it on my previous pc and it was super aids to fully remove it. Never again, I’m sticking with Foss as much as possible now. Photopea is great as a photoshop alternative for anyone who isn’t a professional.

Everyone has a breaking point, it’s always better to embrace them when they reach it.

Damn you’re calling me out. It’s emerald now.

I mostly pirate games that don’t have free trials. I’ll play them a bit and if I like em I’ll just buy them legit and often buy them for friends so we can play together. I’ve bought like 3 copies of terraria and 2 of minecraft way back in the day in addition to a bunch of other smaller names. I also pirate AAA games because fuck em, they don’t need my money.

I used to work for fedex. Most of the time those run over boxes were just crushed by the machine that handles them and sorts them, not always though… I worked with some daft people. Lots of my coworkers hated how prevalent door cams became but I loved them. Made it reeeall easy to call people out on their bullshit.

When there was a dispute things wound usually go like this ‘I delivered the package right at their front door, there’s a hallway cam, ask them to contact the manager and get footage of me not stopping by when I claimed I did.’ I never got into trouble in the years I did it because I always did my job right.
