Oh, I thought the USA news and politics community might be about news and politics in the USA, but it's good that it's the same sort of snappy tweet screenshots that are in the hundred other meme communities that come up with the "Everything" filter on. What a relief.

Question, is it OK to post Calvin and Hobbes and "yiff" porn here too? It just feels like those are too uncomfortable and important to contain in several other Lemmy communities too.

Agreed!

... But also, does every community need to just be righteously indignant screenshots of tweets? Like... Can't a community called USA be something.. else?

One time, I met a tribal warrior from an indigenous Amazon rainforest tribe. He was the son of the tribe's chief, actually.

To illustrate the form of tribal wrestling that his and the other tribes compete in, and at which he was some sort of master, he unexpectedly put me into a headlock and threw me to the floor of my office.

True and a, great example of an unnecessary comma.

Ha, well, yeah this pretty much tracks.

To paraphrase: "if we only pay attention to the most fundamental requirements and ignore any nuance and subtlety that's added, the implementation is perfect. What's the problem?"

Or: "Why care about the body of the post when there's at title?"

If this comment isn't the perfect distillation of the frustration people have with GIMP, I don't know what is.

OP makes a very even-handed, consciencious treatise to gather more info about alternatives to GIMP based on the UX issues they themselves have been struggling with and which are commonly recognized throughout the community, with at least one example, while acknowledging how incredible and powerful an undertaking a piece of software GIMP definitely is, and...

... The same cookie cutter response on every single GIMP discussion since 1998: "IT IS VERY POWERFUL. WHAT FEATURE IS IT MISSING?"

Similar to GIMP itself: You're not wrong you're just... Not being anywhere near as helpful as you could be.

I don't know, but I keep trying to comment on posts federated from other instances and half the time I get some obscure error and it fails, and it's fucking irritating.

God willing, Google can have six new apps out this year that each do a piece of what they had accomplished circa 2014.

The guided meditations in the Headspace app are good.. even just the free ones.

I know a girl who thinks of ghosts. She'll make you breakfast; she'll make you toast. But she don't use butter. And she don't use cheese. She don't use jelly, or any of these.

She uses Vaseline.

Vaseline.

Vaseline.
