Linux@lemmy.ml•Paint Dot Net Version 4.0.13 Running on Wine 11 (modified)
6·2 days agoKolourPaint is very close to an exact clone of MS Paint from around Windows XP.
There are also xpaint and Pinta, which are somewhat different, but might satisfy your requirements too.
At least that way we’ll be able to tell when things are AI-generated.
of course, most of school was bullshit long before AI, so what

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open sourceEnglish
142·13 days agoThat’s not what I asked. I asked about a comparison of both of them to PostgreSQL.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open sourceEnglish
41·13 days agoAre there real advantages to using either MySQL or MariaDB instead of PostgreSQL?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Disabling middle click paste by default makes sense for distros aimed at new users.
1·17 days agoI use it all the time in web browsers (Firefox/LibreWolf can do it even on Linux). I learned to use computers on Windows (mainly XP), so as far as I’m concerned, that has “always” been a thing, so why would I not use it.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Disabling middle click paste by default makes sense for distros aimed at new users.
8·18 days agoFormer Windows users who expect that to start scrolling. I remember that happening to me when I was new to Linux.

Linux@lemmy.ml•GNOME and Mozilla Discuss Proposal to Disable Middle Mouse Paste on Linux
57·18 days agoI have long found it more useful what the middle mouse button does on Windows (start scrolling) and hope that becomes widely adopted, even outside browsers, on Linux one day too. Good step in that direction.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Hitler reacts to functional programming
2·30 days ago“Steiner” is of course someone’s surname (a very common surname in German-speaking countries), not the German word for “stoner”, although they are certainly cognates
not very accurate, you can still install Windows graphically, and you could install Linux either on a console or with a GUI both in 2005 and now

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Free software has some glib naming conventions
14·1 month agoCompared to how Microsoft names things, FOSS naming is harmless on average.
Think of them naming the gaming app on Windows PCs “Xbox”, or the distinction between “VS Code” and “Visual Studio Code”, or “edit” (msedit), etc etc

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Free software has some glib naming conventions
10·1 month agoUnironic answer, the “g” is pronounced, but obviously like the g in give or great, not like j.
somewhat oddly, in the real world, a clause like this would make the program no longer free and open source software
I don’t see where I said anything that contradicts anything in your comment.
If Google is their default search engine, they must at least be tech-savvy enough to have changed the search engine in Edge, or installed another browser (probably Chrome).
Which “non-techy people” are we talking about here?
Nowadays some people only use smartphones or maybe tablets, and they might not know that. But most non-techy desktop users still use Windows and they certainly ought to know the default browser (and its search engine) on their OS, I would think.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Clock but the PM quit and was replaced halfway through the project. Handover instructions: "Make the clock hands show the current time"
52·2 months agoWhat does that even mean…? If you know of something specific that is superior about analog compared to digital clocks, I’d like to hear it.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Clock but the PM quit and was replaced halfway through the project. Handover instructions: "Make the clock hands show the current time"
95·2 months agoPlenty of people older than Gen Alpha very much prefer digital clocks too. I can read analog clocks but it takes me several seconds to convert it to digital time (which is how my brain thinks). As far as I’m concerned, analog clocks are a relic of the past and it’s a good thing to abolish as many of them as possible.
