I GOT THE DOMAIN! I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!1 🥳🎉 Paint.NET is now at paint.net! Well, it will be just as soon as I push all the buttons to migrate content and set up redirects from getpaint.net etc. For now it's just a "hey go here" redirect page.

How much of an improvement is it over standard GIMP and/or how closely would you say it mimics Photoshop?

Well the 2 biggest hurdles are (again imo): - a lot of people simply never have, nor dont know how, to install a different OS; either their PC has Windows I pre-stalled or they *NEED* to bring it to an IT expert to "fix" it - some software REFUSING to work on linux (adobe or anti cheat MP games)

Chillin @derpchillin.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

We got multiple newbie friendly distros that are (IMHO) easier than windows, with the terminal being nearly completely (if not entirely) optional tbh; (Linux Mint, Bazzite, ZorinOS, etc)

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

Photograph from 1911 taken by Herbert Ponting whilst with Scott's Antarctic Expedition

The monochrome photo is taken from within a cave. The walls of the cave are made of ice. The cave entrance is in the mid distance with two figures standing looking out towards a distant ship. Between them and the ship there is first a 'beach' of ice before the sea itself. The ship could be up to 800 metres away

What makes the photo so special is that where the figures are at the cave entrance there is a band of very white snow and ice (contrasting with the comparatively dark inside of the cave) that creates a stark framework in which the men and the ship are captured. It is made even more dramatic by the fact that the cave entrance is at least 30 metres high and is in the shape of a distorted elipse with the tail sloping off to the right at the top of the elipse

The photo being in monochrome in a largely white environment makes the photographers skill all the more laudable

Holding a ballpoint pen for too long warms the ink and makes it flow more freely. Naturally, this makes it easier for ink to come out, suddenly increasing the difficulty for drawing with fine lines. That's exactly the state I'm in right now. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

I had an Arabic barber complain about his 2-3 western exes and that women here are just too independent and free, dress too revelealing & so on; he was a 1-time replacement while my regular (& quiet) barber was away I just noded & agreed cause I legit didn't want him to fuck up my hair

Some Warhammer 40k art I did a few months ago. Was trying to do a bit of a modern reimagining of some Golden Demon art from the 90s #40k #warhammer #spacemarine #spacemarine2 #art

A group of 4 Space Marines valiantly hold an Imperial flag and cut down any xenos who dare approach. From left to right the Space Marines include a Dark Angel with a jump pack, a Bladeguard Blood Angel, an Iron Hands marine, and an Ultramarine Sergeant.

It's like working with butter icing but the end result looks spectacular. A heavy-texture acrylic painting created by artist Justin Gaffrey. The impasto-style technique involves applying thick layers of acrylic paint to create a three-dimensional, sculptural effect. #art #acrylic #painting

Nearly every modern web browser, discord (including custom discords) & lots of gaming works on Linux just fine - I can vouch for this; As for 3D printing, most related software seems to have linux versions afaik

So far SteamOS is tailored only for steamdecks so far, not sure how much the steam machine will change that; But since its basically a linux distro, the closest thing to SteamOS for you PC in both user experience and presentation is Bazzite - you can even test it from your USB without installing it

Chillin @derpchillin.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

Well in LinuxMint, ZorinOS or Bazzite (if u game a lot), using the terminal is like completely optional for like 90% of use cases - the few times you might be forced to use it you can just copy-paste the commands

Chillin @derpchillin.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

Ubuntu has fallen out of favor, both ZorinOS & Linux Mint (which are both built on top of Ubuntu) are superior user friendly choices Although gaming is something both of those can do, if you really wanna focus on that try Bazzite All 3 got pretty damn good out of the box experiences

So far every game that didn't have kernel anti cheat practically worked out of the box, VERY rarely I had to change launch options... I even managed to mod Fallout New Vegas on linux, but its slightly more inconvenient than modding games on windows... So yeah, I'd say its impressively good

You could use Lutris & ProtonUp to easily apply proton to non steam games or non steam versions Personally haven't done this for multiplayer games, but I assume it just works all the same

- Google pays Apple 10 billion per years, as they collect more than enough data through the browser and being the default search engine; With iOS being proprietary we aren't 100% sure what & how much they collect, but they clearly sell *some* of the user data

120

Chillin @derpchillin.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

Well the android lack of privacy is obvious because Google is an advertisement company that sells data; For iOS they: -claim they dont sell user data & encrypt it, but apparently they do sell their store spending data; -have trackers on their hardware as anti theft, but it can be used to track user

Both GrapheneOS and /e/OS are completely FOSS degoogled Android distros; - GrapheneOS officially only supports Googles Pixel phones (ironically enough) - /e/OS can test your phone for compatibility Imho these 2 are the closest to a conveniently functional Linux Phone

Chillin @derpchillin.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

Going to IPhone, which never let you side load to begin with, because you won't be able to side load on Android isn't much of a solution imho...(+Both are equally privacy-invasive) Since Android was open source till recently, it has FOSS alternative distros like Linux (which android is based on)
