  • Hint: the investment of $11 billion refers to investment of Gates Foundation in fossil fuels.

    Well, considering these exact words were used:

    That foundation owns over $11 billion in investments in the fossil fuel industry, including coal-burning utility companies.

    What can I say but duh. If I misunderstood anything, it was the comment I replied to, which was unclear about the “0.05% down from 6%” detail, and seemed to be associating that with the $11 billion figure by context.

    But hey, nice deflection, and super cool of you to be that rude about it, too.




  • I know it can’t, I had to remove it from my toolkit because it can’t. It’s something to do with the colorspace added in 2.10. Now, when you export an image with an alpha channel, every other piece of software sees that alpha channel with much higher contrast. There’s been a bug on the tracker for years, but the devs seem split between completely not understanding the issue and claiming it’s intended behavior.

    I’ve noticed something that isn’t mentioned in the issue that pretty much proves it isn’t intended, however. If you export a PNG with an alpha channel, then immediately reimport it to GIMP, the alpha channel will have the correct contrast, but will be completely crunched. Lost information. No way in hell destroying the alpha channel entirely is intended.
