“Less traumatic than violent, ad-hoc suicide” perhaps?

It’s not that they necessarily care, it’s that it’s the assumed default. So then I have to respond with “I can’t do that, can you upload it here?” it makes me the odd one out making people jump through hoops.

The iphone/non-iphone situation is utterly insane to me. I am constantly being punished for not having an iphone, be it texting or airdrop. These things should be standardized and interoperable, not owned commodities by companies. Grrr.

Because the commenter didn’t want to stoop to ad hominems?

And don’t forget the CLA!

I don’t disagree with that statement; however, that doesn’t make it something the general public will embrace. Its mess of extensions are top little too late. That ship has long sailed. And I say this as someone that prefers using XMPP for 1:1 chats

Indeed. Xmpp is lost as a general purpose chat app for everyone. I have many issues with matrix but it’s the best chance we have, particularly with bridges.

Glad you’ve put up the fight and made it through the other side.

That’s good to hear, and I really would love for things to get sorted out. Gimp 3.x has many improvements for sure but there’s a long way to go and actually releasing these improvements is necessary…

If gimp can become another blender that would be incredible.

Ha, reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJBEAZFP0aA

Glad it suits your needs!

They’ve been completely dropping the ball for years. I used to donate regularly but have completely given up on this project. It’s a farce at this point.

Thankfully I only have simple needs so Krita suffices and I don’t have to deal with the never-improving UX nightmare and never-releasing changes.

Yeah, I’m salty. It’s just that GIMP was a shining star of FOSS and it’s just been slowly rotting from inaction.

Yeah, I’m not too fond of that statement. I respect ddevault, particularly since I have seen his serious growth into a mature, empathetic person. So ICM surprised that this made it into the post.

I find the hate for Gutenberg to be overblown. I don’t see how it is difficult to write… You just type like any other input field. It separates out to paragraphs but it isn’t something so massively different that it changes the paradigm. Weird.

But this converter will be very handy for some very old documents I obtained and gave up on scripting conversions for.
