Money is not overly abundant currently. Today we got a notice in the mail from our landlords that our rent is being lowered by 20 bucks a month (yes, you read that right, lowered) and we have been overpaying on our utilities so we're getting some money back which, incidentally, can then go directly to our upcoming electricity payment haha.
That felt like things working out nicely out of the blue.
It means GIMP is constantly improving but there is still quite a bit of room for improvement, where, maybe in comparison to an established industry standard such as Photoshop, it does not leave nearly as much to be desired.
Also: If I (or my aforementioned dad) install an AppImage, that is named "Nextcloud-DesktopClient-4.0.4.AppImage" that sets up its own startup shortcut and so on, and then I download an update (because the program literally asked me to download the new AppImage), and the new file is named "Nextcloud-DesktopClient-4.0.5.AppImage", am I supposed to rename it to 4.0.4 manually? Rubs me the wrong way somehow. Or am I supposed to know to rename it to a version-agnostic filename before first opening it, so I don't break things when it updates weeks down the line? My dad wouldn't think of either of these options by the way.
You totally could, but like in my example in the parentheses, if stuff breaks, you have just killed your working version of a program, so I don't have the balls to do that.
Oh I realize I didn't mention this in my original comment at all. I agree with you 103%. I want to write a separate comment about this very thing, updating things in general on Linux. I have my dad daily driving Linux along with me, and he's somewhere between a power user and a regular "need web, document editing and PDFs" type of guy, and there is such a wide spread of software from such a wide spread of "sanctioned" installation sources on Linux, that he never really knows how to update ... Anything.
Here's a random list of "ways to update a program" we have encountered in the last few weeks off the top of my head:
If anyone thinks of other ways to add to this list, feel free to post them, would give me a laugh for sure.
We are both definitely not going anywhere, but we have constant conversations about how it would be nearly impossible to daily drive Linux if you are not very technically inclined, and how these things make Linux very much "not ready for prime time", because people are simply used to "X needs update! Do you want to update now? [Yes] [No] [Later]", and the Update just ..... WORKING.
Hear me out: It still makes sense for servers, shared hosting, etc. So .... where Linux has predominantly been the tool of choice.
100% agreed. Why is this even possible
Yeeeaah right now I'm staying away from it. It seems to work fine ... on the surface. But use it for more than a few minutes, or use anything other than the most basic tools on a low-performance machine (I tried to apply a simple brightness correction to a layer) and IT WILL crash and burn.
This seems to be prepared to work without an internet connection or a canvas account. At no point was I prompted to sign in and, in fact, signing out seems to break the program currently.
I'm sorry for being so productive you have a preference is a bit late for us ready for tonight and see what it says get on on the bike anyway and then we can do it right now.
That is AMAZING! Keep it up. I also lost almost 30kg a few years ago, and managed to stay in shape. I feel so much better since.
Congratulations!
Very interesting! Its a Woodblock.
Here is what woodblocks sound like.
Luckily for us, the song's wiki page covers this.
