    That’s funny, an entire article dedicated to the name of GIMP acting like it’s the only problem with that shitty software, still feels like 1995, still can’t do anything it should be able to do.

    30 years, and it still sucks.

    Glad the article really focused on the primary shortcomings of the software >_>













  • I spent just shy $600 on my OP 11, not completely happy with it, pretty set on not buying another OP device.

    My personal issues with Samsung aside (from years ago, nothing recent or relevant) prevent me e.g. from buying a Samsung.

    TBF it seems like most manufacturers are going to shit these days, wouldn’t be surprised if most devices become iPhone look-alikes in the future.

    Personally, I feel like we as regular people, need to get to the point where we tell these huge companies that we do get to own stuff that we buy, I know things will likely get worse before they get better (if they do), but I don’t think spending $1,000 on a personal computer should not come with restrictions on what you can do with that personal computer.

    Anyways, word-pukey.

    I didn’t downvote your video or anything, I was just expressing an opinion.

    Edit: A word






  • I don’t think that’s really the gist here, I shopped for M2/M3 before, and the prices are stupid, buy a cheaper one, which you feel like won’t be enough for the lifetime you want to use it for, or go all out and hope that it is what you wanted for however long you need it.

    By the time you get to storage, which you can never change, you’re stuck deciding if you go with what you feel you need, or go big and pay big.

    The entire model is broken, and 8GB of RAM by default is also really really stupid, unless all you do is email and browse the web, but you shouldn’t be buying a pro model if you’re just needing a larger phone >_>

    So you get stuck, do I pay for the future and hope it’s big enough for all the years I want to use it, or am I okay buying another laptop in less than 2-3 years just because I can’t change it afterward?

    I understand your sentiment, I don’t mind building and maintaining my own PCs, the biggest problem with the newest MacBooks is that you’re stuck with your purchase, for better or worse until you get another one.

    This might not be a big deal for people with light workloads and low usage, but for some of us, it makes it really hard to say yes to their prices, not knowing if it’s going to be enough for 4-5 years.
