I agree with flesh man

This comment could go on any Calvin and Hobbes strip, but I just got a memory of getting the 1996 Collection as a family at Christmas and reading them all, when I was a kid. I felt immersed in a world like my own but slightly more adventurous - I would imagine that I could go and ford the river down in the woods, or ride a red cart down hills, even though I never did, and we hardly ever got enough snow to go sledding.

Someone doesn’t know what OCD is

The administrative overhead and the overhead of engineering everything to with multiple vendors is what is massive

Dividing between providers is not what people would be doing if the resilience of cloud services were as is being memed about.

Doing so is phenomenally expensive.

We mainly had non-summative assignments, so those had names on. Exams were all done by student-number, with a fold-down section where you wrote and signed your name.

In fairness I also didn’t feel like I was reading eyewitness accounts of this kind of thing so maybe it doesn’t actually happen (or almost never, or did in the past but no longer)

Presumably not in California or wherever else there are sensible data protection laws?

I have heard that in America the police sometimes fine people for driving at the speed limit because they’re driving too slowly. It’s an absolute farce.

A law that everyone breaks is a law that the police can choose to prosecute anyone for, for any reason. A law that you can be prosecuted for not breaking means you can’t even escape being targeted.

I don’t believe it’s easier than rsync.

And while we’re at it, why do languages have the audacity to use ANY words different from other languages!

See how this sounds?

Was there a known issue there?

Are you really going to get defensively patronising over this? I think I’mma bounce, lol.

Yeah you might be right.

I should clarify I use GIMP. A lot! But this is one way it sucks. By this point I don’t know what other similar programs even have over it - it finally got adjustment layers after some decades. So if I can recognise this shortcoming anyone should be able to ;)

The other major thing was switching to single window mode. Floating windows for everything was absolutely batshit.

The first two sets of instructions are for drawing a disc, rather than a circle (a disc being a filled-in circle) and don’t extend to drawing a circle easily. The last method does, but it is about 10x as long. The traditional method for drawing a circle was to select the inner circle, save the selection to a channel, grow the selection by the pixel width of the stroke you want, subtract the saved selection, then fill. Wonderful /s

GIMP does not (unless I missed it in a ~recent update) have a shape tool like most image editors. The GIMP documentation in any case suggests using Inkscape for the purpose.
