  • I had a void that meant the world to me, so I know how it feels. I'm sorry you have to go through it. :(

  • Was going to say this. Unlike Gimp, Photopea's UI is extremely similar to Photoshop so it's much more intuitive to use if you come from that background.

  • I don't think they sound particularly like a human baby because I can't stand the sound of a human baby crying but when my cat talks I melt into a useless gibbering idiot food dispenser.

  • "Do your research" is a dogwhistle and of course what it really means is "Google what you want to be true and read all the shit from morons like you who agree with you."

  • Seriously given Paramount's treatment of the franchise over the past decade, this ranks as a pretty low-level offense.

  • And boy it sounds expensive.

  • Kudzu is edible, which I'm guessing will come in handy for the South about halfway through the Trump administration.

  • Cheers and hope you do OK with yourself!

  • I've seen this movie before.

  • Yep. Oh it will open down bigly. But I expect the day to end up sideways or marginal. If Cramer ends up being right about anything, then I'm certain I've switched timelines.

  • Algorithms are not universally good and helpful. They should be designed to boost engagement only in that they serve to find content you wouldn't be able to see otherwise, not to boost engagement at all costs by feeding you things they think you will click on. It's an important distinction.

  • Discord is bad because its forums are not world-readable, therefore not indexable. It's very useful to the rest of the world to have conversations be public. The youngest users here may not even remember but searching Google in the 2000s before Facebook went huge and when forums were all world-readable, it was a different experience altogether. You could find somebody who was talking about your niche issue/product - no matter what it was. It was kind of magical. No matter what thing happened to you, you could be pretty sure it had happened to someone else and they were talking about it somewhere and Google would see it and point it out to you.

    Not anymore. Everything's on Facebook now and Google can't see it, nor can anyone else - except Facebook. All that legacy knowledge just tucked away in Facebook's data vault and essentially useless to anybody but Facebook, which makes it less than useless.

  • That was just the warmup. They got serious about it on January 21, 2010.

  • I had a sip of bourbon FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!

  • Try not caring. The more Reddit users come here the more it's going to suck.

    This is just bot-driven FUD anyway, Lemmy is nothing like old Reddit and it wouldn't be disqualifying if it was.
