Me too. Gimp is awesome. I can do everything I want and more really easily. I just don’t get the hate. Photoshop is cancer, it’s slower than Gimp and it’s not even worth pirating. It hurts Adobe more if you use open source alternatives.

PeterPoopshitto Technology•Actor at Willy Wonka Disaster Says Even the Script Was AI-GeneratedEnglish44·1 year agoImagine hosting an event so lame that it makes international news solely because of how incredibly lame it was. Just damn.
PeterPoopshitto Technology•The HDMI Forum rejected AMD's open source HDMI 2.1 implementationEnglish1·1 year agoYou can pirate media that uses that new blu ray drm by plugging a capture card into the overpriced compatible DVD player and recording the video. Also, it’s a way to transfer saved content from a dvr as their hard drives are always encrypted (do those still exist). The video stream on all this stuff is encrypted with hdcp to prevent this but there exist hdcp strippers. It seems to still be possible to buy them even on Amazon. Stock up before they get banned. Frankly I’m surprised they aren’t banned already.
This place became as toxic as reddit real quick didn’t it

PeterPoopshitOPto Open Source@lemmy.ml•HDMI forum rejects AMD's open source 4K@120Hz and 5K@240Hz HDMI driver11·1 year agoThe only disadvantage of display port that I can think of is that it’s harder to find capture devices (or at least Linux compatible ones) that have display port. Generally no one cares about that stuff though. I use capture cards because I sometimes do stuff involving other computers and it’s 1000 times more convenient to have a vlc window floating around with the display output.
No one seems to have this use case besides me, I’m just glad that there exist capture cards fast enough to do playback in real-time and not a 5 second delay. I don’t stream.
PeterPoopshitto No Stupid Questions•What if a meteor hit us now? What happens after that?7·1 year agoI don’t really subscribe to the whole if civilization collaspes there will be no technology in anyone’s lifetime again thing. You aren’t going to go back to ordering shit off amazon from your smartphone or anything. However the knowledge that things like refrigeration, radio transmission, internal combustion engines, water treatment and such are possible is going to drive people to eventually find out how to get it by any means necessary.
How quickly this happens is a question of whether the majority of people adopt a “technology is too dangerous/a sin against God” idealogy or not.
The soil where I live is only good enough for 5.25in floppy plants to grow.
OK fine. I just went outside and poked at the grass for several minutes. Now what?
I did fast food for a long time and don’t really see how lowering prices when it’s not busy then increasing them during peak hours is going to do less harm than good. I think it would make more sense to charge a little less when they’re busy and have lots of employees and can make food faster. Then charge the normal price when it’s slow and they have less employees.
It’s probably more about impressing investors as having bigger numbers in your sales report during peak hours looks good.

I was just joking kind of. I am a struggling computer engineering student always looking for ways to use my skills to earn a little extra income. What type of system compatibility would you need? Arduino compatible serial? Vintage AT motherboards? Some other thing like maybe a commander x16? If people really would be willing to buy homebrew graphics cards like that maybe I’ll look into it.
It was too “easy” for regular users to get upvotes and too hard for bots to get upvotes probably. Certain comments and posts now have downvote caps of 0 points so depending on what agenda a comment supports, it may not be possible to downvote into negative numbers.
As a rule of thumb, anything you say is getting downvoted but if someone else posts the same thing, it gets highly upvoted. Reddit is cancer.
Huh, I thought you were supposed to use -sri. I hate dealing with the AUR, that stuff doesn’t work half the time. I’m sure there are reasons for making it annoying like that but I haven’t really put much thought into it before. I’d like to think making the AUR a pain in the ass makes things less likely to break, and hopefully that’s not just because you’re less likely to install AUR packages.
PeterPoopshitto worldnews•Births in Japan hit record low as government warns crisis at ‘critical state’English72·1 year agoWe need to threaten to ruling class by refusing to have kids unless things improve. It’s the last nonviolent option there is. They can either actually do something about the out of control costs of living vs wages or humanity should die out completely.

This is a valid preference I’m and tired of pretending it’s not. Vagina, penis, doesn’t matter. I am attracted to feminine features and a penis doesn’t get in the way of that.
