Whom do you think countries wage wars for?

Wow! It's even got a backstory and all.
Doesn't make the product more appealing though. The only thing that does that for me is the Datasheets.

I fundamental thing that makes FOSS better is not the product that exists, but that, when you see a problem, you have the option to think, "let's see how to fix it".

Now I have used MS Excel for most of my life, up until University end, and only recently started using LibreOffice Calc instead.

And despite me telling all my colleagues how much better the new versions of LibreOffice fresh are, I know very well that there are still some glaring problems in these programs even in general use.

However, I had experienced some problems in MS Office too and back then all I could do was feel powerless for a few seconds and then either find some workarounds or ignore the problem, depending upon what it was.

In case of LibreOffice, I can make a note of the problem and plan to report a bug and maybe even help fix it, which leaves me on a +ive note at the end of the day.


Digression: Problems with LibreOffice:

  • Calc: Using click+drag on the vertical scrollbar in case of even as low as 800 records, causes lags during the scrolling.
  • Writer: Images cause slowdown. This has been a major issue for a long time and you can probably find some discussions related to this, floating around.

On my Android phone the Android phone I have, I find it hard to tell where the stuff I downloaded is.
Until I connect it to the computer and see the directory structure easily.

The Files app seems to be trying to do some kind of Abstraction over here.

Err... no.
But I was talking about the workplace computer, so... No idea

... Except when it doesn't.
I use Gnome at work, on an older (supposedly stable) version of RedHat and there are a few ways it breaks, but when it does, it Breaks Bad. I would be fine with said breakages if it were not trying to claim focussing on having lesser bugs and in turn reducing customisability to such low levels that changing stuff like animation speed (which, by default is set to productivity destroying speeds), is not possible from the default repos.

KDE and related applications are much more tolerable and when I find a bug I tend to be happy to report.

I'd rather give my time and money to a game that I find worth paying for rather than pirating, but you do you.
Also, pirated games, like any other Windows program, work on Wine. Maybe not all, but not all Windows software work on Wine anyway.

Imagine having rootkits and APTs on your system, just to play some overpriced games, which you are later, remotely stopped from playing.

Right.
I feel like the text part is something GIMP should actually make an overlapping feature. That and basic shapes, which would make it much more useful for basic stuff.

But then, I'm neither a GIMP dev nor a heavy user and I have no idea of their target audience.

If you are making memes, Inkscape is what you are using most of the times. Though the lack of 2 click and 1 drag cropping, makes me feel a bit frustrated (still, you can crop).

Coming from Paint.NET, I first tried Photoshop and I felt its controls to be non-intuitive, so I reverted to Paint.NET.
Later, I started using GIMP and coming from someone with no experience in either of them, GIMP and Photoshop are equally non-intuitive, so whenever someone complaining about GIMP, feels like they are coming from Photoshop, I just discount their rating.


Inkscape is a vector graphics editor, which is different from GIMP.

@ulterno@lemmy.kde.social avatar

A lot of Linux Distros seem to have Firefox telemetry disabled by default (even the minimal, one-time ping, telling Mozilla to know there is another user), so that might be skewing some of the stats.

Are you rustling a single leaf, for it to be less than a library?
Or does the library have a windy exterior full of trees with rustling leaves, for it to be at 40?
