What pisses me off to no end is that the likelihood of US media publishing the fact that a very low level of the broad internet has been compromised (likely due to incompetence) is not going to be published. Hey @404mediaco@mastodon.social - do something!

@brennan@social.lol Thanks for making this. People need to be informed, especially with the crazy hype machine that has spun up in places like YouTube. Not only is it made by the known piece of shit DHH, it is just a collection of vibe coded dotfiles. It isn't even notable on a technical level.

@ReignOfRaining It's from the really old Mac design philosophy. Photoshop used to do that as well (also, virtually every Mac program that was not a game and took up the full screen) and they didn't stop that design philosophy for a loooong time.

@ReignOfRaining Yeah, that's the way it was until 3.0 iirc. The entire program was GNOME oriented, but from like 20 years ago. Every single element was its own window! It's _so_ much better now, but they have a lot of work to do.

@ReignOfRaining Yeah, that's exactly why they're attempting to redo the UI for GIMP. Honestly, they need to start from the ground up at this point. The UI is _atrocious_. They have finally given up on the multiple floating window thing, at least.

[the EFF and their questionable stances] @0x4d6165 I mean, in the same vein - the EFF is silent on the fascist backed (DHH) Omarchy. FLOSS is an inherently leftist concept, but sadly, odds are that the EFF will stay silent on that.

@ReignOfRaining I agree for like 70% of this. Krita is more for marking and editing pictures of any kind. GIMP is literally for only touching up/editing literal photos. It's frustrating, I know. GIMP is an aid on purpose. I really hate that drawing a circle in GIMP takes like 5 steps, but it's […]

I need to state this over and over. #Omarchy is run by the literal Nazi DHH. It includes hyprland, run by a far right asshole - technically not Nazi, but might as well be #foss is under attack. Everytime you install that (objectively horrible vibe-coded) OS, you support Naziism.
