@Inginsub i wrote a few hundred words about why malboros are unacceptable but it took too long and i need another hit so i will take the malboro thanks

@Inginsub grab me a pack of camels

@Inginsub i guess that one really struck a nerve with you ha ha

when you wake up tomorrow your car will be missing its catalytic converter and the exhaust will be piped directly into the cabin

@Inginsub free your phone

@Inginsub perpetual 1-day blinding stew

@Suiseiseki @theorytoe @SuperSnekFriend libreoffice instability on any platform is unacceptable for a professional-oriented software.

it also happens to crash all the time on linux too. i still use it

@Suiseiseki in all honesty your way of (satirically or not) spreading the 'gospel of stallman' is directly against the spirit of the FSF.

its all about choice, the only wrong choice is to remove other's ability to choose. thats what libre is about, giving them the freedom to do as they wish without restricting other's freedom in the process. the FSF fights censorship that removes an individuals agency of choice. telling people they are wrong for using photoshop is against that spirit.

@Suiseiseki bear in mind i am also a libre software enthusiast. love emacs, even bought the print reference manual to support the cause. there is a balanced world where people willing to jump through hoops to get a better experience will do so, and others will just pay money and settle for what 'the man' tells them is best to save time.

libre is free if you dont value your time has never been more true

@Suiseiseki sure you will. that does not mean others will as well. its your time versus someone else's dime. people will pay for the convenience of proprietary tools.

evil is a very strong accusation you throw around lightly. ever heard of incompetence over malice?

as usual, being radical in any form is a bad way to spread a message to people who will listen.

@Suiseiseki you have chosen to entirely ignore the definition of feature parity lol. youre basically saying that because you can edit each pixel by hand to in theory get an identical end result, that the two softwares are the same. i may absolutely despise it, but photoshops generative machine learning models are a feature that some (total idiots) wouldnt use the software without. you just are not photoshops target audience.

schizophrenic rants, as fun as they are, do not help your message.

@Suiseiseki its kind of an objective truth of this world. does gimp have feature parity with gimp? it doesnt. there exists a workload where photoshop is an obviously better program for it.

software not being libre doesnt automatically make it objectively evil, it just disqualifies it from your list of candidates. just like schools and companies disqualify libre or open source software from their list of candidates because they cant pay for customer support.

@Inginsub @Suiseiseki regardless of foss/open source stuff gimp is quite good for an image editor that costs no money. other free editors dont stack up against it in terms of features. usability is always an issue when it has a lot of tools.

of course cracked photoshop is better (but suffers from usability issues too) but thats kinda irrelevant

krita sucks for image editing since its primarily a drawing program. yes they both can edit images but they target different workflows

@mint assuming this distro uses portage, just ```emerge -1 @world --nodeps``` and hope for the best

(seriously though, slot conflicts are usually bad use flags or unmasked packages)

@romin @why what am i supposed to do? go to my local office supply company and buy a disposable SIM while wearing a mask and sunglasses using my credit card??? that defeats the whole purpose.

the only currency tracking i support is the little yellow dots my printer puts on the counterfeit bills i print so stores can know they got duped and think they can figure out who printed the bills but really i modified the printer to make that information a red herring and stop the glowies from finding me

@romin @why fuck cashback. just have lower transaction fees so i dont have to subsidize the banks greed when i buy with cash
