Agreed. They have a lot of the required plumbing now. There are some non-destructive editing workflows in GIMP.
I think holding back 3.0 for so long was a mistake. It no longer matters though. It is out now and it can be improved dramatically without such a long break between the dev version and stable.
We will see what the next couple of years brings.
Why would you try.
Also, treat hime like he treats you. Just lie to him and never do it. If he ever complains, just say it never happened. Lie to him again to get whatever concessions you want. Repeat.
Treat clowns like clowns.
It is a shame this was so obvious. Even though I saw it a week late, it was so obviously an April Fool’s joke that it was not worth reading past the headline.
I feel bad for whoever put the work in.
I love that RiSC-V is already so well supported in the Linux kernel even though the hardware is not really out there yet. When decent hardware does arrive, a fairly mature ecosystem will be waiting for it.
Compare that to ARM which took quite a while. There is already more of a culture of getting device support into the mainline for RISC-V than for ARM even now.
I do think decent RISC-V kit is coming. The existing players like SciFive are getting there, we know big players like Qualcomm and Samsung have projects, and future disruptors like AheadComputing see RISC-V as their attack vector on the current industry. And for sure China is going to surprise with a decent RISC-V offering at some point—maybe Alibaba, maybe Huawei, or maybe someone else.
Who is granting these licenses and what are the criteria?
In the US right now, it seems that you may be required to reject vaccinations and to poison your children. The guy in charge of the agency eats roadkill and had a worm eating his brain (not attacks—facts out of his own mouth).
Be careful what you wish for.
Where I live, it is more about working closer to home.
You cannot work, shop, and shuttle kids using Transit if you work 30 km from home (normal in my city).
US trade deal with Russia in 3…2…1….
It is less about portability on sales and more about the ability to drive R&D.
The technology will continue to improve. If they fall behind, that will be what really tanks sales.
They have a lot of cash but they need to keep feeding the R&D on batteries, charging, software, and cost reduction tech.
Their biggest protection is tariffs since fairly large markets are locking out all their real competition. As long as those are in place, they will be able to soak up much of the EV demand.
It is third after NA and Asia but still huge.
I own a computer store. There is a guy outside that shines shoes. I pay him about $30 a year to shine my shoes. Business has been pretty good and I like nice shoes. He never buys a computer from me (says he cannot afford it).
Clearly he is taking advantage of me because we have a huge trade imbalance. Nasty, nasty guy. I am hitting him with tariffs soon.
I think you mean money
Entry level at most jobs will be hit. If you basically exist to do grunt work that somebody else assigns and will “approve” before going out, AI may replace you. I would not want to be a junior marketing communications person.
I assume you, teaching as the profession that we have today is not at all safe.
With Win 11, you still get the security updates though right?
I hope many of us are able to pick them up cheap instead.
I always think the same. But everybody knows Bill Gates by sight. Do you think everyone instantly recognizes Satya Nadella?
If the NDP makes me live under Conservative rule, I am going to be pissed.
I am starting to support tariffs on Alberta. She is really running me the wrong way.
The only issue with LFS is maintenance. It is one thing to set it up but having to manually keep it all up to date does not sound like fun.
I agree.
Just recently, I used GIMP 3.0 to create what will become a sticker on the side of a dozen hockey helmets.
It was a small project but it probably went back and forth a dozen times as each version delivered sparked new ideas or new questions on what was possible. Layers, filters, alpha channel, Smart Selection, and working with text and font outlines were all essential.
I don’t do all this stuff all the time. There is no way I would ever pay for Photoshop. Yet, my standard Linux install had everything I needed to get it done. And it was not that hard.
Truly amazing when you think about it. We are all so entitled.
