  • I tried. I really tried to like GIMP. The main reason I don’t like it is because it’s trying so hard to be a professional picture editor and the UI.

    Why can’t I deselect things? Why does something need to be selected at all times? Let me just click a button and remove the selection outline and deselect things.

    No. I won’t help the dev team because I can’t code to save my ass. I turn wrenchs and fix things for a living.

    I use other, simpler pic editors. Why should I learn to fly a Boeing 747 when a Cessna 172 will get me where I need to go? I’m making a shit post once every three months, not professional art.





  • As a noob to Linux: THERE’S A WIKI? Awesome!

    As a mechanic: Everything I deal with comes with an instruction manual that has the steps written out simply… for a mechanic.

    If I didn’t ask the simple questions when I first started, despite having the manual available, never would have learned the basics from someone who knows.

    I’m not trying to sound combative or anything, just that sometimes a person needs a small stepping stone of an answer to progress.





  • I can kinda see where you get the homophobia but the racism?

    Calling someone a cocksucker is just an insult. Might not be used as much today, but watch Scarface for more examples.

    And from Wikipedia:

    Vatnik or vatnyk (Russian: ватник) is a political pejorative used in Russia and other post-Soviet states for steadfast jingoistic followers of propaganda from the Russian government.

    So racist? No. I’m making fun of people who swallow Russian propaganda without thinking.
