Elder Millennial as well, sometimes referred to as a Xennial.

“Cohesive”

Yeah that’s fair. I’d have to figure out how people are getting on without layers, probably take myself back to basics and pretend I know nothing and see how the ‘learn from scratch’ track teaches these skills today.

OTOH, I also getting to the old dog point, not because I can’t learn new tricks, but because I have so many responsibilities I have little time to do so, which is another reason ideological camps like this form. Which frankly is the wrong reason for them to exist.

I should go figure out how the new apps work, but when I do need to do graphics (since its not my main bread and butter but usually an additional skill I need to help develop something) I habitually pull out the familiar to save time.

I talked about using older versions of Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. Not sure where you grokked any admission that I’ve only used GIMP.

Interesting. I remember trying a copy of newer Photoshop a few years and being genuinely confused by how layers worked as they’ve always been part of my flow.

The old versions of photoshop and paint shop pro were heavily layer based and selections were automatically a mask of the current layer as in GIMP so GIMP was easy for me to transfer too at the time.

I also find that intuitive is a relative term. Relative based on your own experience.

I haven’t used Photoshop since version 4 so we can’t really compare notes here. I dropped Windows during the Blaster Worm attack in the early 2000s

Lol, all these GIMP haters who don’t seem to understand the goal was being on par with Photoshop when it was a desktop application. It works exactly like Photoshop always did. And I agree, selection makes sense. There were many apps that worked the same… Paint Shop Pro as well.

I guess the kids have all grown up with some other tools and would rather call things they don’t understand stupid than try to grasp where the tool came from.

I’m not sure how Krita is different but then again I haven’t used it. I installed it, saw it looked like a fork of GIMP, and stuck with what I knew. Which is probably what anyone who hates GIMP should do.

Yeah this is maybe a difference between install choices. I used kubernetes and the helm chart. Recognize does not have a dedicated container, but the nextcloud container has GPU resources assigned using the Intel GPU operator, and that makes pass through easy. Much easier than vanilla docker.

I’m going to go ahead and disagree with Memories not doing photos well. If you have it and Recognize setup properly, they replicate nearly all google photos features.

I keep my watch history off, and no subs. I use bookmarks. The algorithm has no clue

The printer firmware, not the cartridge.

Meanwhile, here in reality land:

People are downgrading their firmware to ancient versions likely containing old CVEs because fuck HP and their printer cartridge mafia.

If you’re a user interacting with a terminal => apt

If you’re writing a script or putting it in a docker file/automation => apt-get

Apt is just a wrapper around apt-get a newer binary than apt-get (I stand corrected after checking my memory against google) and there are warnings that the apt shorthand is not as reliable in scripted scenarios. Its meant for user convenience.

Apt-get is most certainly not outdated.

Gee thanks for reporting on the obvious, Jalponik.

We knew this. And even this whistleblower report is old.

What a garbage news outlet.

Religions have been doing this for millenia.

Yuck, Meta products.

If you’re looking for things to avoid because it can cause gastric problems, you’re looking for foods that should not be combined.

And yes carbs and animal protein are top of the list (and also one of the most common digestive mistakes people make)

https://www.stylecraze.com/articles/dangerous-food-combinations-to-avoid/

From the article:

When you eat a combination of carbohydrate or starch and lean protein (such as meat with potatoes or bread) they counteract each other: the animal protein putrefiesi and the carbohydrate (complex carb or simple carb) ferments. This bad combination leads to gas, bloating and flatulencei (1). Those who have eaten this combination in their diet for years may have developed immunity, but it is better to eat complementary combinations like beans and rice which is a good combination.

You can use Sonos speakers or any generic smart speaker that is not bound to a brand (like Google /Alexa)

Pro tip, Ikea smart speakers are rebranded Sonos at lower prices, and come hidden in all kinds of furniture forms.

However you don’t need to wholesale jump to HA and lose voice. For $8 CAD I got the Nabu-casa HA cloud assistant and SSL proxy (portal to your home HA without need to punch holes in firewalls) and their cloud assistant integrates with Google or Alexa.

So you can tie everything together and then move things over to the HA ecosystem as you have time, eventually cutting the Google/Amazon limbs off.

The fuck is not a who or we it would be for Fuck’s sake.

Oh, maybe Fuck is what the merry men called Friar Tuck when they were drunk!
