Google and Twitter are not on par with “gimp”. I also didn’t say I was worried. I just noted that it makes people take the software less seriously when I advocate it as a free, open source replacement for Photoshop, which has a very respectable reputation and a business-like name. Being called “gimp” makes people doubt that it’s a professional quality product.

Millions of dollars? That’s not much.

Yeah, it makes it sound silly and non-serious to people I’ve introduced it to who know nothing about open source and Linux etc

What are you asking Lemmy?

Experimenting with prescription drugs as a kid (muscle relaxants when I was like 8), driving in the rain with no license when I was 15, excess opiates that one time, too many sedatives with alcohol a couple of times, and then the legit health problems… I had seizures from low blood glucose a time or two. Pretty exciting record imo

It’s not too cold there

Source on the existence of unsubstantiated rumors? How would that help?

There are rumors about him sexually abusing young boys as well

It means someone saying something that on the surface sounds nice, but is actually meant to be insulting or challenging. It can be subtle until you learn to recognize it. Even then, it’s annoying because sometimes one has to question "were they being passive aggressive or genuine?”

What I wonder about is the efficiency of electric vehicles in areas that have coal power generation

What about … an electric car?

I’ve been learning that I’m way more extroverted than a lot of people. I’m Ready to drink, smoke and hang out until the bitter end.

Good call. We did have that for My friend’s PCJr

This makes me wonder what the first time was. Pong and Yar’s Revenge weren’t really comedy material. Maybe The Quest for c64, where we got annoyed at the game always saying “gorn doesn’t want to go that way”. I guess that’s not intentionally humorous though. Maybe Monkey Island?
