Exactly, which is why I said “charging people to play pirated games” (though I suppose it was really just one game, so no plural was needed.)

Internet people: NINTENDO IS DESTROYING ALL EMULATORS raaaaaaaa

Reality: Nintendo sued exactly one emulator that was literally charging people to play pirated games

The best cheese temperature is fresh out of the refrigerator and I will die on this hill!

If only they had functional data backup and export on non-Android platforms…

I can finally follow ZUCC on Mastodon, at last

…does anyone actually have a stereoscopic monitor?

Yup. Lest we forget, Android is Linux-based, and it’s the most popular consumer operating system in the world.

Exactly! The great thing about Lemmy is that if your instance’s admins start doing stupid stuff you can just go to another instance.

As fun as it is to watch Musk do dumb stuff, giving him credit for killing HSR is a reach. There’s a really great article about it here — even Epstein was involved for some reason!

Attitudes like this are much worse for the health of the Fediverse, IMO.

A popular instance with users and content? Kill it immediately, we can’t risk people actually using the Fediverse.

Wow, the level of detail on this theme is really impressive!

As as aside, I didn’t realize that GTK had officially banned theming. That seems…dumb.

That’s the tragedy of the commons, and you’ll find it’s true for basically every possible societal organization.

Or you know…they just didn’t reply. Not getting a reply doesn’t mean you’ve been blocked.

I think so, I believe you can open them in Books via the Files app on iOS.

Depends on the platform.

If you’re on an Apple device at least, the built-in Books app works great for reading ePub files.

Literally a Unicode character:

The problem typically isn’t that the community doesn’t exist – the problem is that it does exist but is empty or mostly empty.

It’s dependent on Apple fixing it, so no:

Anyway, I wasn’t aware that GIMP UX suffers, I’ve never used anything else and am happy with it.

My argument here is that by never having used anything else, you wouldn’t necessarily realize how much better other UX choices could have been.

That said, I do have to give the devs some credit, as they have fixed two major issues, by adding single-window-mode and unifying the transform tools. Having each transform be its own separate tool was just awful UX IMO.

The biggest remaining UX problem, in my opinion, is the way GIMP forces layers to have fixed boundaries. Literally no other layer-based image editor has fixed layer boundaries, because it makes very little sense as a concept. Layers should solely be defined by their content, not by arbitrary layer properties set in a dialog box.

Honestly I feel like this attitude is the reason GIMP’s UX suffers. They’re so determined to be “not like photoshop” that they’re unwilling to fix some of their more boneheaded UI decisions out of fear that they’d be seen as copying photoshop.
