JavaScript, the powerful but sometimes overused code

now there’s an understatement.

I think there’s a difference between state-owned and state-funded.

Its not FOSS but if you need a work alterative to GIMP I use Photopea a lot. Works as a PWA too.

I’ve been using design software for over 25 years; Photoshop has been there for the majority but I’ve often tried coming back to GIMP here and there, but it’s never grabbed me in a useable way.

Oh, no disrespect intended! Where I come from though we use cheese instead of curds, it’s practically a national dish.

Cheese and gravy (not the Canadian thing)

Huh, I actually had to look at the At a Glance but to see what you were talking about. I’ve just taken it as a given that I can’t use the top 1/3 of the screen or the bottom strip.

I’m not a gestures guy at all, I like buttons!

I feel like I’m the only one who still reverts navigation to the 3 dots and doesn’t use any of the new stuff they’re releasing.

This taskbar looks like it’s going to make things happen without me wanting them to, I hope we can turn it off.

I like it when they do that and also give you a free digital download code so you get both.

Damn, I used to like their crunch corners.

Not the whole country but Mallorca and the Canary Islands had similar protests. I do wonder how the south coast feels about all the Brits going there.

I degoogled to Proton mail initially. I didn’t like that I couldn’t search my emails (a security thing or something? But annoying) and then their Drive was absolutely useless on macos. I had about 100gb and it couldn’t sync even half of it.

After much help from support I eventually moved away to a combo of Fastmail, Mega and OnlyOffice.

Same with Australia. Seems a bit disingenuous to say it’s banned, it’s a government worker policy.

Yeah I guess if you’ve been using it for a long time and have favourites built up that would work. I remember when YouTube started and it was pretty good, but with every video trying to game the algorithms I couldn’t imagine trying to start afresh now.

The people that say it’s their main form of entertainment must have to wade through so much crap to get to anything good, I just don’t see the point.

I don’t get the appeal of YouTube. I use it for maybe the odd music video or something, but often you’ll just get someone’s annoying commentary instead of the actual thing.

I live without it and it’s great! Try it.

All of these AI prompts sound like begging. We’re begging computers to do things for us now.

We’ve come on holiday by mistake.

What if I don’t use Assistant? Does it still have access to other parts of my phone?

Yeah that’ll be it! I usually get Colman’s.

Spicy. I guess it’s similar to wasabi (some cheaper brands of both are even basically the same thing made with horseradish). You don’t need much, don’t squirt it on like American mustard. But it goes really well with red meat, or on a ham sandwich.
