When society gets to the point where you will die if you don’t do anything … or you will die if you do something …

Eventually people realize that they will be punished, threatened or endangered no matter what they do or don’t do, some people will come to the conclusion that they would rather go down fighting.

If you’re going to get screwed doing nothing, some would rather go out on a blaze of glory because they no longer have anything to lose.

I was wondering why it sounded more human these days

The world has left everything on the shelf in full public view and access for anyone to take. Everything is based on a system of trust where we willingly pay for things and take what’s on the shelf, knowing full well that we could just take the thing off the shelf and walk away without paying. We all trust one another to be fair and do the right thing … and for the most part, the majority of everyone agrees with that.

Unfortunately, some asshats decided that it was a good idea to make everything expensive or to nickel and dime everyone to death … most people especially young people just get so pissed off because they can afford fewer and fewer things that they decide that the system of trust is no longer working or worth it.

So they just take the things off the shelf and tell the asshats to go fuck themselves.

so you agree with half of half of young Norwegians

A bit concerning that it is propped up on a night table and sitting right next to a doorway. There’s only two of us in the house but I would never place electronic equipment like that near a doorway where I myself could just knock it over (because I’ve done stuff like that in the past). Get it on the floor or on the opposite side of the room where no one including yourself can walk or move around near it.

“Don’t be evil” …

… for now

lol … classic GIMP … this is becoming the best part of a terrible day

GIMP 3.0 has kinda sorta maybe been released but they’re still working on it

lol … this will be one for the memory books

American loses their minds … for the 100th time … on the same day as GIMP 3.0 was released

The first part is true … no one cares about the second part of your statement.

They thought it did … so they tried turning it off then on again … and it exploded.

That satellite was about to reveal company secrets

I guess I should have worded that differently … no one cares if you can maintain your own personal rights or privacy because corporations view your rights and privacy as just another commodity ready to be bought and sold.

Most likely it will all be bought and sold like everything in the world these days. No one cares about privacy or rights especially if it means millions of dollars of profit are on the line.

The biggest take away from all this is … never ever trust a corporation with your privacy.

Because eventually they will give up your privacy if it means they stand to lose millions or gain millions.

Be careful and always leary of new services and conveniences that will affect your privacy because eventually it will be bought and sold to the highest bidder no matter how you feel about it.

I have the opposite opinion … I have one system of mine that has Win10 because I need it for one piece of software … and I absolutely do not want to upgrade to 11 even though I get almost daily reminders that I can.

Once I stop using the software I have for Win10 … I’m deleting the OS and installing Linux

Beautiful work … I really don’t mind the long wait between releases … the previous Gimp 2.0 versions were so robust and practical that they have lasted for close to 20 years

In the early 2000s, I started off with cracked version of photoshop before I discovered GIMP and as soon as I did, I stuck with them since. They’ve saved me several thousand dollars in software costs over the past 20 years that I really don’t mind waiting for the latest major release.

They can take their time releasing 3.0 for all I care. I’m still using 2.10 and I probably will for the next long while until 3.0 becomes stable. They’ve done a mountainous amount of work already and I congratulate them on everything.

This makes me realize too that I should probably donate something to their community for all the money they’ve saved me over the years.

How do we not know that this isn’t an AI generated Sam Altman?

This is the main reason why I seldom install anyone’s “app”.

Most of these apps aren’t true apps anyway, they’re just customized browsers that lead you to a website and are free to collect as much data from you and your phone as they want.

I’ll go on your website first if I have to and 9 / 10 I get what I want. Besides, I’ll only ever visit the service once or twice so I don’t need to install a permanent app on my phone for that.
