I use lots of FOSS software. I work in a municipal government job where I have to fill a lot of roles that aren’t funded as separate positions, so I use GIMP, Inkscape, and QGIS daily because the professional software isn’t budgeted. I also use OBS frequently, among others.

But GIMP is by far the worst FOSS alternative I’ve come across when compared against its paid competition. I hate Adobe the company, but Photoshop really is the gold standard.

I use both heavily. Oddly enough I use GIMP at work and Photoshop for my personal use and side gig.

If it’s more difficult to set up, then it may not be better for everyone.

I wasn’t raised to believe in architectural evolution, and I don’t want that nonsense taught to my kids.

Those in my house will be taught intelligent design.

I don’t know about that. The Trump team has been very sucessful this time around.

It’s just that what they consider a sucess is really, really bad for the world.

I like to say that Big Bang Theory was a stupid show about smart people, and Arrested Development was a smart show about stupid people.

Museuems?

We absolutely cannot afford to make a third party right now. That splits the vote and guarantees Republican dominance going forward.

We must change the Democratic party through primaries.

His wife and child are American citizens. His life, job and friends are in the US.

It’s not easy for people to give up the people and places they love.

Like it or not (I do not), the most important determining factor in American elections is people’s feelings about the economy. The horrors being done by our government are easy to turn a blind eye to. But the cost of living is something that can’t be avoided or suppressed.

Economic ruin is how we beat these motherfuckers.

Nope. When France didn’t join the invasion of Iraq, “Freedom Fries” was a thing.

It was truly stupid.

Do it to the Ice agents, attorneys, anyone involved.

Make it financial suicide to carry out their orders.

There’s an etymology section about it on the wiki article on mice.

2 reasons

1 - they kinda resemble a milouse with a tail 2 - the cursor on the screen used to be called a ‘CAT’

Criminal contempt can be pardoned by the president.

Civil contempt cannot.

Charge them each a million dollars a day.

I’ll buy the Flavor-Aid.

But before if you didn’t want Windows, I think Lenovo just pocketed the change.

And OEMs don’t pay anywhere reat retail for a Windows key.

I don’t think they did it at a $200 discount before.

This may help them absorb the tarrifs by advertising it at current rates while raising the price by 200 bucks.

Same!

What ZIP code and CVV number did you get?

I have like 50 guns. I tell people that I’m so far left that I’ve circled back around on guns.

But the reality is I’m mostly just a gun nerd who also used to be a gun salesman and got a ton of freebies from the manufacturer.

That’s not legal in any state.

I used to run gun raffles, and the way they actually worked is the organization doing the raffle would partner with an FFL, and what they actually won was a gift card redeemable for the exact value of the gun. That gift card would be used for the winner to purchase a firearm, including a NICS check.
