i got both but decided to first learn krita as i like drawing more than image manipulation. though i’ll be needing to hop into gimp soon i feel, as krita’s text editing options are clunky at best

as in i didn’t used to work with krita all day or i wouldn’t be working with krita all day now?

i miss photoshop. not enough to boot into my windows partition, but it sure would be nifty if it would just work on linux. krita is decent but danggit, not the same

could you elaborate on what you mean by “performance” of cloud storage? the speed of upload, download?

the average lemmy user is much more tech literate than an average person

people really don’t know that kind of stuff. to many a computer is a computer, it has internet, and plays games… what’s an operating system?

Pendolino is an Italian family of high-speed tilting trains (and non-tilting) used in Italy, Spain, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Finland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia (Czech railways are operating), the UK, the US, Switzerland, China, and Greece.

they can go up to 250km/h

according to wikipedia even the americans have a few! thought with their infrastructure i doubt they get used much

i always found that creepypasta funny exactly because of that. bunch of atheists experiencing religious fears but with some words swapped lol

i have adhd and i’m terrified of driving, well, i’m terrified of other people driving. if i knew everyone played by the rules that’d be fine, if i knew everyone didn’t play by the rules i’d also be fine. but in my country i’m expected to assume everyone follows the rules and blindly trust people do as expected or i’m “disrupting traffic”. fuck that! i wouldn’t trust a random stranger with keeping an eye on pet rock let alone my life!

pretty much everyone in my life tells me i have to get over that fear but i’m not in a hurry, i’ve got my electric bike and i’m happy

also remember to not accidentally put sugar (roughly 1kg sugar [or 2 pounds] per 1000kg cement) into a coment mixer because it will completely destroy the whole batch :(

nuh-uh

i suggest you actually read what i wrote, instead of making yourself look like a fool

imagine a scenario, coffee is illegal. you can’t buy it in a normal shop, but the same guy that sells every other illegal substance has it. and you have to go to that guy to buy some coffee

even though coffee is not similar in its effect to any harder drug by going out to buy it you’re gaining the skill of obtaining illegal substances, and also put yourself in a place where you can get a variety of them

as you’re buying your coffee your drug dealer tells you “try this, it’ll make you feel really good” and you know what? society’s already lied to you about coffee being bad, maybe they’re lying about the ecstasy thing too, you already trust this guy, he’s been selling you good coffee, so might as well try something new and exciting too eh?

and to be even more blunt, what i’m trying to say is that it’s not the substance itself that makes a drug be a “gateway” it’s the way you obtain it

if weed was perfectly legal and sold freely then it would not longer be a gateway drug, because as you try it you don’t gain the experience and skill of obtaining illegal substances, nor do you get placed in a position where you can grab something extra with your purchase

nobody has said it because the same person never sold both

if you had to go to the ecstasy guy to buy your coffee too, then you’d be much more likely to try ecstasy as well

nictoine would be a gateway drug too if you had to meet with a shady dude in an alleyway or get bitcoin to buy it

i also enjoy the Scots drinking cities dry and giving hats to statues

ironically copyright laws as they are today are cancer, maybe they should copyright copyright so that it all just eats itself and dies

of course, though i bet they’re working under the assumption that their defences are enough, or that they will be the last remaining humans out there. basically, hubris

greed and hubris are a powerful combo, unfortunately

yeah but you just said it, they feel safe with their bunkers, the rest of the world be damned
