GIMP is GIMP. It’s been GIMP for decades, and that name carries history, recognition, and a community that built something genuine. Rebranding it to WLBR feels like throwing all of that away for the sake of optics that most longtime users like myself frankly don’t care about. It’s not progress in any way, it’s unnecessary self-erasure. GIMP works, GIMP is known as such, and GIMP should stay exactly what it is…

Linux@lemmy.ml•I used wget on Ubuntu to clone pages from piefed to build Zyke, a Reddit alternative
36·3 months agoYou’re nothing but a rat bastard who is scraping piefed.social to fill your own site with content so you can monetise it, all while driving up their hosting costs for your own benefit. That’s pretty low—have some shame…
I asked myself this exact question back in 2020 and chose Arch. At the time I had been using Fedora since 2017. What I ultimately wanted was a system I could install once and continually evolve rather than replace. Several years on, I’m still running that same installation and it has never given me a reason to reconsider…

9·8 months agoSometime around 2004, I somehow managed to get a friend to try Linux. They spent an entire weekend compiling a custom kernel just to run some experimental beta driver that might have made Doom 3 somewhat playable on their system. Everything compiled just fine, but whenever they booted up the system, they discovered they had forgotten to re-enable sound support. A recompile fixed that, but performance wasn’t what they were expecting. I think they got like 15fps or something like that. After a few weeks of using Linux they reinstalled win-xp…

I’ll stick with Obtainium. It’s been around for years, it’s proven itself, and it already does exactly what I need. Komi-store looks interesting, but to me it just feels like another shiny bit of shite trying to reinvent something that already works…
