Hey no worries, I dunno why I even called that out. Lack of sleep due to back pain and responding to posts at 2am I guess

That’s some shitty ‘hacking’…

But what makes these shell commands ‘bash’ exactly? Seems like this could be a half-dozen shells.

Also… why are ‘hackers’ always using a shell in some gui program?

Oh that’s what happened to RieserFS

Same. But I still keep critical paper work in a fireproof safe, just in case.

Hard copies. You should always keep hardcopies of your most important documents, financial records and certifications. Especially when users can be locked out of a cloud storage these days because an AI decided to flag their account.

Not to mention the patch being applied was being applied at boot, so rollback > patch > crash; repeat

This is how marketing works in Asia. Major corps do it every bit as much. You have anime mascots or you don’t sell to anyone under 40, from my understanding.

Yeah that’s fair. I’d have to figure out how people are getting on without layers, probably take myself back to basics and pretend I know nothing and see how the ‘learn from scratch’ track teaches these skills today.

OTOH, I also getting to the old dog point, not because I can’t learn new tricks, but because I have so many responsibilities I have little time to do so, which is another reason ideological camps like this form. Which frankly is the wrong reason for them to exist.

I should go figure out how the new apps work, but when I do need to do graphics (since its not my main bread and butter but usually an additional skill I need to help develop something) I habitually pull out the familiar to save time.

I talked about using older versions of Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. Not sure where you grokked any admission that I’ve only used GIMP.

Interesting. I remember trying a copy of newer Photoshop a few years and being genuinely confused by how layers worked as they’ve always been part of my flow.

The old versions of photoshop and paint shop pro were heavily layer based and selections were automatically a mask of the current layer as in GIMP so GIMP was easy for me to transfer too at the time.

I also find that intuitive is a relative term. Relative based on your own experience.

I haven’t used Photoshop since version 4 so we can’t really compare notes here. I dropped Windows during the Blaster Worm attack in the early 2000s

Lol, all these GIMP haters who don’t seem to understand the goal was being on par with Photoshop when it was a desktop application. It works exactly like Photoshop always did. And I agree, selection makes sense. There were many apps that worked the same… Paint Shop Pro as well.

I guess the kids have all grown up with some other tools and would rather call things they don’t understand stupid than try to grasp where the tool came from.

I’m not sure how Krita is different but then again I haven’t used it. I installed it, saw it looked like a fork of GIMP, and stuck with what I knew. Which is probably what anyone who hates GIMP should do.

This is also represented pretty well in Pantheon.

If you’re a user interacting with a terminal => apt

If you’re writing a script or putting it in a docker file/automation => apt-get

Apt is just a wrapper around apt-get a newer binary than apt-get (I stand corrected after checking my memory against google) and there are warnings that the apt shorthand is not as reliable in scripted scenarios. Its meant for user convenience.

Apt-get is most certainly not outdated.

Not entirely, but a lot of people won’t be up for having their OS load from a cloud every boot, and that’s where MS is currently talking about taking the next version of Windows. I know a lot of people who won’t pay for a monthly sub to their OS or want to have internet charges for downloading a cloud OS either. That will be a breaking point for a lot of people once the last “real Windows” OSes drop off of support.

That or people will just keep reviving XP.
