I’m convinced the Gimp project’s worst enemies are its own developers. They’ve refused to take UX seriously for decades.

Meanwhile, the Blender team has given their GUI major revamps a couple times now, and it’s both more popular and easier to use than ever before, while not pissing off old users much. It is possible to do.

Of course, the Blender Foundation has much more money to work with, but I’m still convinced Gimp is holding themselves back in many ways.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone invoke the 5 second rule seriously and not in jest.

Also, that’s not what scam means.

All umami instances have been infected with a persisting crypto miner.

Source for that claim? Because vulnerable does not mean infected.

Also, I’m kinda glad my instance has been offline for a while now because of database trouble. That was lucky.

But they promised!

I meant applications not bundled with the distro, then.

Well, app just means application, and applications are just programs. Almost everything on your computer is a program, including core parts of your operating system.

If you mean third party applications, then sure, you could use your computer without them.

I am about to install a second Technitium instance, so this is great timing.

Define app

No thanks.

I’m still getting used to the UI update of 2.8

I’m out of luck, it seems, since I’m already running Gitea 1.24.6.

Thanks!

The longer you wait the more incompatible and harder to migrate it will get.

I know, but I thought it was already too late to simply change the docker image and be done with it. But, you are saying it’s still just a drop-in replacement currently?

I meant it more like “I’m concerned if I’m missing out on something huge by still using Gitea.”

But if they’re still mostly the same, I’ll just stick with what I’ve already set up.

Does Forgejo have any killer features or something that makes it worthwhile for me to switch away from Gitea now?

I’ve tried it out now too, and it looks promising.

I didn’t like it, as it didn’t have the exact full article view mode I desired, but lots of people like it.

The loss of Google Reader is basically what taught me not to get too attached to services I can’t host myself. I’m hosting an older version of TT-RSS (due to migration issues to newer versions), and will continue with that until it no longer works for me, and then I will probably move on to CommaFeed. I’ve already tested all the commonly self hosted RSS readers out there, and that’s the one that fits my needs best, other than TT-RSS.

i’ve never had noticeable lag

I think you misread ‘nagging’ as ‘lagging’ in my comment

Yeah, the branding is definitely ‘meh’ at best, but even worse, in my opinion, is the tight integration with the whole Muse ecosystem and MuseHub thing (and the default download on the website being the MuseHub-based installer too) and built-in cloud storage crap. It just feels wrong to have an open source application integrated so tightly into all their proprietary services all the way through. Just installed the latest version 3.7.5, and I was surprised at how much nagging there was, on both the website and in the application itself.

But other than the whole Muse stuff, Audacity 4.0 looks really awesome in terms of UI and UX. And at least there is a non-MuseHub installer and you can choose not to use their other stuff, and say no to the telemetry…
