These rascals actually enjoy being around us and coming for scratchies and belly rubs, often falling asleep. They also seek contact to us, are very curious of whatever we do and follow us around the house. Loved your story, sounds like you really cared for the cat as much as she cared for you.
Tried using GIMP and Gimpshop (I don’t know if it’s still a thing) and never really got warm with it. Not for a lack of trying. I just use Affinity designer 2 and Photo 2 along with Inkscape (from which GIMP could learn a thing or two in terms of usability IMO).
I have affinity designer 2 and photo 2. It does everything I need (except for bitmap tracing, for which I use Inkscape). I won’t be bothering with anything else in this respect as I’m used to working with the tools I have . Also I don’t need the AI stuff so it’s a hard pass. Bummer on the acquisition though…
Was trying to be a sport and use GPT5 exclusively to write a python script that I could have whacked out in about 2 hours. The task was simply authenticating to an on-premise instance of sharepoint, reading a list of folders and documents recursively, authenticating to a cloud instance of confluence and recreating the structure as confluence pages while converting every docx to a confluence page and generating a link to the other ones.
After 4 hours of correcting and babying it it managed to successfully authenticate and parse the file and folder structure, but didn’t implement any of the conversion and linking logic correctly. I know gpt 5 is not geared towards coding, but it’s the only thing my company has (copilot) and I had to spoon-feed it on details for the auth mechanism and parsing for example so much so that it would have need easier and faster to just do it by hand.
Yeah, but it doesn’t look nearly as cool :)
