The "two steps forward, one step back" maneuver. Classic.

I saw this coming and switched to GIMP and Inkscape. It's been a pain but I've managed. I'm just the IT guy though, and I would be laughed out of the room if I suggested our marketing team consider making the same switch.

It's not a matter of seeing it coming. They just don't care.

I was thinking about this the other day. I support some very, very technologically limited users and I wondered if anyone out there is working on a distro/DE that looks and feels just enough like windows to get them by

I would never have considered this before they announced Recall. Now it feels like I'm waiting to see just how hard they push it

Is it not clear which definition of Crypto he's using?

Linus coming out against cryptography seems so unrealistically silly to me that it's not even worth considering.

How about Analogue August or Stop Scrolling September?

I'll also say, Offline October is pretty dang good.

Okay then, where did all the young and in-touch people end up?

Gmail has a bad habit of losing my emails anyway. Maybe yours too if you ever used Google Inbox.

I migrated my main account to Inbox and it was honestly the best email experience I've had. Unfortunately, the forced migration following its collapse left my Gmail riddled with problems.

Granted, it's not losing days worth of email. It just occasionally attempts to automatically categorize emails into categories that don't exist, removing them from my inbox and leaving them in a weird uncategorized limbo space. Once there, I have to search for them specifically before they will show up anywhere.

The worst part is, it is so inconsistent that I have no clue when to expect it. I have missed major bills this way.

I have a coworker who is also an Inbox refugee. He is the only other person I've met with identical Gmail issues.

it's becoming more obvious every day that lemmy is where the old and out of touch people migrated to

Hey I've heard there's this really cool app for lipsyncing and dancing. Apparently it's getting pretty popular. Sounds like you'd have more fun there

Given how many politicians are deeply closeted, I like to imagine they hurried this one along quietly

I had no clue about this. Thanks for the heads up. Not sure which one I installed but it's on my test machine and I can check tomorrow

I just installed gimpshop the other day on a whim and immediately I could work at 90% capacity just based 20+ years of Photoshop muscle memory. Gimp never lasted more than a day with me the dozen or so times I've tried it before.

There are ways to make it work, and the tooling out there is getting better every day.
