Did you know GIMP could do that instead?

Where can I find open source friends? I'd like to compile them myself
-
Calm down Dr. Frankenstein
-
You can fork them too 😏
-
And pull them too.
-
I've forked a person. The fork is certainly much more agreeable than the original that I've since abandoned completely, but being a solo maintainer on this project is pretty rough.

OpenLlama. Alpaca.Run a local friend model, today!
I... actually futzed around with this just to see if it would work, and... yeah, there actually are models that will run on a Steam Deck, with Bazzite.
EDIT: Got my angry spitting long necked quadrupeds mixed up.
Alpaca is a flatpak, literally could not be easier to set up a local LLM.

People who believe MSG is any more terrible for you than table salt understand jack shit about health lol
-
Well eating a shit load of fried "Chinese food" that happens to have msg makes me feel ill, so what else could it be?
-
Your pancreas probably rejected the grease of the fried food perhaps? If you look at your stool and see liquid parts that float above water, that means you might have EPI, a condition that may become life-threatening if left untreated. Always look at your stool before flushing when your gut hurts, your future GI doctor will likely thank you for your insight on steatorrhea. Hope you're doing alright there now, stay safe!

Msg is so good. Try it in your stock. Its like different salt. So good.

If you like parmesan cheese, you like msg

Msg is naturally occurs in most protein rich foods. While extremely important for our bodies, our tongues actually don't detect protein directly, but the msg that occurs with it. That's why your brain goes "ooooo yummy!" but in a different way from salt.
Steps down from soap box
Anywho.

MSG also forms when glutamic acid meets tablesalt. That's why tomatoes or beef with a tiny bit of salt are so damned tasty, they're full of glutamic acid. Same with cheese (which is usually pre-salted for that lovely MSG-flavour).
Tomatoes and beef already contain MSG naturally, but adding a few grains of salt produces far more.
Edit: This is why walnut oil is amaaaaazing for savory flavours. It's full of glutamate. Just like grape juice, or shi-take. Even potatoes to a lesser extend. And this is why we love combing all those foods for "winter foods" with game and in stews.

Magic yummy powder.

It's also already in like everything we eat.

This whole thing is cancer... What's wrong with fluoride?
-
Nor is there anything wrong with MSG or prozac
-
I mean, I definitely don't consider prozac part of a meal.
-
Common side effects include loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea, headache, trouble sleeping, dry mouth, and sexual dysfunction. Serious side effects include serotonin syndrome, mania, seizures, an increased risk of suicidal behavior, and an increased risk of bleeding.

He said fluoridation was too important to be left to the generals. When he said that, 50 years ago, he might have been right. But today, fluoridation is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
-
On no account will a Commie ever drink water and not without good reason.
-
-
Yeah, I think that one's just FUD, because fluoride is added to the water by the US government.

In all fairness...GIMP cannot do that.
Of all the FOSS software I've used, GIMP is by far the furthest behind the commercial competitor. Adobe sucks ass in a lot of ways, but Photoshop and Lightroom are amazing products.
I do prefer Inkscape to Illustrator in a lot of cases. Especially with SVG support. Illustrator actually kinda sucks at importing SVG files.

Krita.
Everyone screams at me when I say this, " Krita is for tablet artistry REEE!!! ", but Krita is basically PhotoShop from before Adobe went hardcore into 'everything is a subscription', roughly 10-15 years ago.

Perhaps I'm pedestrian when it comes to image editing, but idk what it is that Gimp can't do that's regularly needed. Aside, of course, from AI features that draw for you.

True enough.
I'm spoiled in GIS with QGIS. I've been using it professionally for years.

I use Photoshop for work, and I keep GIMP installed as a conversion tool because for some reason Photoshop is an absolute wimp when it comes to opening downloaded PNG or WEBP images. About 1/4 of the time I get "Not a PNG" or "Can't open image due to a programme error." Clicking the Help option in the error dialogue takes me to Adobe's help page about saving images, not opening them.
GIMP has effortlessly opened every single image I've thrown at it. After exporting from GIMP, suddenly Photoshop works. Bad look for the industry standard image editing programme.
I do like InDesign tho
-
LMMS is further behind it's proprietary competition than GIMP is (to the point where I think Audacity will be usable as a DAW before LMMS catches up) but I know DAWs are less mainstream than picture editing.

Me keeping a W11 laptop around exclusively for Fusion360

Revit, AutoCAD, Rhinoceros, Bluebeam, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign. Virtual machines are, unfortunately, not ideal professionally. Other solutions like Crossfire and Winboat are hit or miss, but mostly miss. My biggest hope for SteamOS isn't that games continue to improve, but that other large corpos will start to take Linux that much more seriously soon.

I'm pretty happy with FreeCad.

Look my laptop came with an NVIDIA GPU I have to use the drivers

the nvidia drivers are open-source now, right? (ignoring firmware blobs)

Yea literally nothing controversial about any of these ingredients. Cringey. The only thing that makes sense is the cameras

I'll say this for GIMP: it is a well-named piece of software. I do appreciate honesty. And I hate GIMP.

I think this is relevant to the topic. I don't think it violates any copyright "ToS"--New to the site, as it was Linus himself that posted it. I'll share it. He talks about why he pays Adobe 10k+k USD a year.
-
From what I remember, that boiled down to 'it is more important to consistently pump out lots of content instead of letting staff learn and use something new' which... I don't have a very good opinion of him but that's another oof.

Posting a YouTube video never violates copyright lol

Sometimes it's a bit embarrassing.
Nothing wrong with MSG. It’s the building block of the savory taste the same way sodium chloride is the building block of the salty taste.
The whole thing about MSG sensitivity and it being bad for you was largely xenophobic in origin, and a fascinating example of the nocebo effect.
In college I remember hearing about a study where they gave people who claimed to have MSG sensitivity a Chinese meal and an Italian meal. They claimed to have symptoms after the Chinese meal. But that particular Chinese meal had no MSG in it. Meanwhile, people didn’t report symptoms from the Italian meal, which was chock-full of MSG.
Do yourself a favor: get a shaker of MSG from your local grocery store and put that shit on eggs (along with salt). It’s amazing what a pinch of “the flavor enhancer” does.
Edit: also nothing wrong with fluoride in the water at the doses we get it. It’s good for developing stronger teeth.
The msg "scare" was such bullshit. MSG is the fuckin bomb for making those quick meals taste great when you're in a rush. And good meals even better when you got time.
Yeah i sprinkle they shit in everything i cook
Big ass bottle of MSG in the drawer with the rest of the bulk spices. It is mandatory that my food is properly seasoned.
thanks I was gonna type all that out 👌
The issue I have with MSG is that if you put it in everything, it becomes your new norm. I would ideally like to minimize how much MSG I eat, and keep it feeling special.
Indeed, same with salt or any other spice!
Replace the word MSG with salt and see how dumb that sounds. Adding MSG isn't a flavor, it just brings out the flavor in the foods it's a part of. It's not actually "special", it is perfectly normal and just makes all your food taste better in general.
I make a "savory salt" that I just use in place of salt. It's not a miracle or anything, but it's definitely good.
By weight:
90% salt
7.5% MSG

Yeah if it was bad you wouldn’t see three East-Asian countries in the top 3 of life expectancy.
I live in the Netherlands, where we don't have water fluoridation because of legal principles. Our laws don't allow medication without knowledge and consent, and fluoride is considered part of that. So if one person disagrees, you can't do it, so we don't do it.
As a result, we have markedly worse dental quality than in places that have naturally high fluoride content
