If you ever used Affinity/Adobe products and GIMP on any capacity over just trying to crop an image, you’d never say something like this. GIMP, despite its 3.0 release, is still decades behind those other programs.

GIMP feels like it’s made by software engineers for software engineers, trying to play catch up with the other softwares available that were made with designers and artists in mind.

Bungie already confirmed it won’t be a “full priced game”, so probably it’s 40€

So you always know what is the risk and who’s responsible for it with Chinese tech, and for American tech you’ll never know who’s stealing your data and what enshittification will happen on the next day

Because effectively nothing is changing. Android is still open source, OEMs still have access to the internal branches for early development, custom ROMs will still have to wait until the new version is released to source entirely.

There are many other apps, like Signal, that have the same development approach but no one complained about it. It’s just a lot of misinformation due to misunderstandings with these headlines.

If you’re using Tuya devices and your network is dual band (same SSID for 2.4ghz and 5ghz), it’ll work just fine without needing to change frequencies. I have a couple of very old Tuya lamps that I connected just like that

Google Play Services is not Android.

Google can decide all they want, but they can’t close source Android due to the GPL.

“This just in: Lemmy user sole responsible for companies ‘Denuvobaiting’; more news at 11.”

Simply having a pull tab like most phones or that electrical release like Apple does is enough to satisfy the EU regulation. The batteries need to be easily replaceable without special tools by repair shops (first and third party, certified or not).

If I’m not mistaken, on the hamburger menu of that media picker you can chose your phone’s storage and have access to other files

Americans.

So yeah, nobody cares about SMS/RCS

Leaving the board of directors is pretty much as giving up ownership rights. He has nothing to do with Bluesky anymore and he makes us sure he doesn’t want to.

Jack Dorsey has nothing to do with Bluesky

It doesn’t matter if it’s a “far more organised approach”, logseq simply doesn’t fit many types of workflows for note taking.

logseq is a zettelkasten program; Obsidian is a text editor

6 people in a support team working on R&D

It’s a small team of 6 in the USA that worked as a support team for R&D, no one there “wrote the successful game”.

I’ve been with them since the first alphas, and no, the mobile and desktop apps, and the server implementation were never open source, only the mautrix and beeper bridges. Nothing has changed with the new apps, and the local bridges (that run in your phone with the app) will also be open sourced on release.

The beeper apps were never open source to begin with, but all the bridges are and will continue being.
