Yeah, and?

Do you honestly believe there’s a single person on lemmy with enough gravitas to be worth being tracked by the elite?

Also money, which are just political points in tangible/fungible format

Long story short, people that use it get really used to using it.

You know?

You made me think about this for a minute and I think I figured it out.

Use the circle pin to draw the circle.

Then use the select tool to select the circle that you drew.

Then use the grow/shrink tool to shrink the selection by however many pixels thick you want the circle to be.

Then use the erase tool to erase all the parts of the circle that you don’t want.

Easy peasy.

Thank you. I was afraid I was being a little too subtle.

Kubuntu isn’t too bad

You can also use the brush tool and just draw a circle that’s completely filled in at whatever size you want and then remove the inner portion that you don’t want by switching to the erase tool and then shrinking the size of the circle brush to what you don’t need and clicking directly in the center of the circle.

My bad, I meant to say shift T and then shift S.

If it runs “fast enough” on a completely clean system that would cost the average user $1500, then companies assume that that means that it is a good product.

If you want better software, you have to give developers worse hardware to develop on, and more time to develop.

The word trans means across, or on the other side, and gress once again would mean step, so to transgress is basically to cross the line, right?

I did a quick search, but there isn’t really a word to describe the people that don’t cross the line.

The opposite of the prefix trans is the prefix cis, which means “on the same side”

Today is also the day that I learned that if you want to use drag to resize an image in GIMP instead of typing in the px size you just press ctrl T and then ctrl S and drag boxes will appear on your selected image layer

I mean, if you have gimp open, you can literally just drag the image into gimp. What would you want for it to be easier than that?

There is an etymology word joke that says something along the lines of, “if “pro” is the opposite of “con”, then is the opposite of “congress” “progress”?”

And if you don’t know etymology, then that seems to make sense.

When you break down the word Congress, you get the prefix con and the root word gress, con means with, and gress means step, so it means to step with or to walk with.

The opposite of walking with someone is to walk apart from someone, so, the actual opposite of congress would be digress, and the opposite of progress would be regress.

Etymology is great at ruining jokes, but it’s also great at helping you understand what words mean and why they mean them.

I think the specific is that 40% of adult Americans can’t read at a seventh grade level.

Probably because they stopped teaching etymology in schools, So now many Americans do not know how to break a word down into its subjugate parts.

William H. Macy. Dude is a true professional.

One of my co-workers switched to UBlock Lite instead of UBlock Origin and now the ads are back.

Now he’s working on switching to a non-Google browser.

Good job, Google. You have killed Google for yet another former customer.

What’s optimistic about telling a multi-million dollar company that if they don’t operate with principles that I agree with that they won’t get my business?

Yeah, isn’t that what everyone wants?

A website where you talk to people and a robot with no oversight shows up and changes what you say, or silences you, or prevents you from talking to certain people.

At the same time though, I don’t care if billionaires play rock and sock em robots with companies. It just kind of sucks for the people that work at those companies, being tools of a game for rich people to play.

Alabama is the 49th dumbest state in the country.

If it weren’t for Huntsville, Alabama would be a land of wild ape men

No, I mean by default you are opted out.
