Yeah, I wish for a “Blender” moment for GIMP. Big improvements to the UI/UX to bring more (non-tech) users and code modernization to bring in devs.

While Krita focusses on drawing, I found it basically just as good at photo editing as GIMP. So today I don’t use GIMP at all and do everything in Krita.

None of the items in your screenshot are games?

Disclaimer: I haven’t read the article

A wise choice in this case. It’s 23 paragraphs that mostly describe standard Thunderbird features (as the author usually does not use email clients) and only one list with three (!) bullet points of new features in Betterbird.

Edit: to save you a click, here’s the list from the article (the actual feature list on the project page is longer):

Some notable features include:

• System Tray Icon (Linux)
• Accent Colors (for folders)
• Multi-line Inbox View (disabled by default)

Oh didn’t they tell you? Making a profit is the most important thing in this world. Stop doing stuff that does not increase shareholder value!

Thanks for posting this. Been using Linux exclusively for almost 10 years now but I still miss scrolling by clicking the MMB. I have some problems with my fingers so using the scroll wheel is rather unpleasant, yet necessarily, especially when scrolling down slowly and steadily for a long time (e g. while reading/scanning stuff)

Yeah I think most complex and long-term OSS projects have “employed” contributors paid by donations or sponsorships (e.g. Linux, Blender, LibreOffice, …)

I loved the idea of FreeCAD but having no experience in CAD software at all I always struggled with fundamental basics that were not covered in the tutorials I watched. The huge amount of work benches (some of them 3rd party) did not help since most forum posts or tutorials were based on different or outdated versions.

Having a go with build123d now, trying to model stuff using python. At least the number of available API functions is manageable and everything else is just programming (which I already know).

Yeah, an AI would have drawn it better (apart from the text, they suck at that).

Also not a fan of comics that just state an opinion without any punch line or twist.

I mean it’s just copy and paste boilerplate and has nothing to do with the problem so I think it’s pretty accurate…

Both were a thing in discussions many years ago. That’s why they became a meme.

But since then it’s basically only used ironically because people quickly noticed they’re a meme.
