The Menemen

Also darktable, rawtherapee, DigiKam and Krita. Not sure if those are suited to professional work, but for amateurs they are more than enough.

I remember whenbthe steam machines where first announced and how excited I was. I am still excited. :)

Several EU countries already have fascists or borderline faacists in the government (Italy, the Netherlands, Hungary) or have a raising fascist force grabbing for power (e.g. Germany, Sweden).

Don’t expect too much from the EU. We might very well overtake you on the road to open fascist total control.

Still a weird way to say this.

Why is he using the term “SteamOS kernel”?

All I see is “Ooooh look, we use AI!” which actually repels me quite a lot. The page leaves the impression that photoshop is a toy, not a tool.

I mean, tastes are different, but I really did not like the photshop page design.

This is exactly the problem they face. I use GIMP since ~15years. Any change they make will annoy me to a degree. But I also understand that getting into the UI is not that easy. They somehow have to manage these two completly opposing interests.

Many things are possible with both products. But Kritas focus is on drawing/paiting and animation, meanwhile GIMPs focus is photo edititing.

Just try them out. I really love both.

But if they were doing Asahi Linux for fun as a hobby, and if it isn’t fun anymore for a variety of reasons, then you really can’t blame them.

I have 0 knowledge about this project, so my statement here is just a general statement.

But if a developer collects donations for promising something, then this is not just “for fun”, but they do have a moral obligation to try doing a good job.

It seems they overfullfilled their obligations (but all I know about it, are the words of the developer). So, as said above, this is a general statement.

edit: lol you guys are funny, but maybe read my comment. I talked about “doing his best” and about “things they promised”. You really think it is okay to say “I will try project A, I need donations” and then go on a holiday with the donated money and do nothing else? Do you thing this attitude will get people to donate anything?

Used to do that when I was working in science. I also kinda loved it. Just interesting to intimately experience how people thought back in the 80s. There are surprisingly many Fortran 77 libraries still in use today (they can be called from modern Fortran code).

And it is also great television. For me personally, the best I’ve ever seen. Whoever reads this and hasn’t seen it already: Do it! And watch it all! Some might think season 2 is a little slow (I still liked it), but season 3 is just incredible.

Surprised to learn that there were windows based Supercomputers.

Should include a concept to reduce impervious surfaces in modern times. User experience is not the only variable.

I’d also have a look at Darktable.

Man, I wish he’d leave the communication to someone else. He is so, so bad at it. And this isn’t the first time

The way he attacks critics puts himself in a bad light. But much more importantly, I read this and am still unsure if he has administrative/legal reason, security reasons or political reasons…

If I’d work in Russian propaganda, I’d love this so much. Hope this will not cause disruption in the community.

I am sure they were fine machines. I don’t think they were profitable for Valve (that is what I meant with “not worked out well”). On the other hand, the Steamdeck might not exist without the Steam Machines, so maybe I am wrong and it did work out well.

True. Better allaround.

Didn’t work out that well last time. But Valve got a lot better with Hardware since then.

Same for me with python, I always fall back to R after 10 minutes of trying to do it in python. :)
