  • ¿Does Gimp on Windows finally use the same interface as the Linux version? But either way while I have learned to use Gimp over time and appreciate it the interface certainly has rough edges. For me that’s particularly noticeable when it comes to handling different layers and controlling which part of the interface has focus.

    Some functionality is also quite hidden and exploring the interface isn’t so useful for finding it, often I found myself prompting a search engine instead. But I can also see that Gimp is a complex program with a ton of functionality and it’s very hard to make the interface intuitive for every type of user at once.




  • For Syncthing I had to add a bunch of rules to my firewall to allow the necessary connections between my PC and smartphone. And for that I had to find, install and familiarize myself with a fire wall first. And after that ensure that the fire wall service is running always. Summa summarum: it’s not something that is likely to work out of the box.

    The great thing about Syncthing is that once you have it set up properly it really does work. It silently does its thing in the background and I never think about it

    Haven’t used LocalSend yet but I imagine it’s going to be much less of a pain if the traffic is all routed through the Brower.


  • It depends on the subreddit but often this is encouraged by locking threads after a certain amount of time, meaning new comments are no longer possible. What’s more is that serving ads is a core component of Reddit’s business model and this works best if there is a constant stream of “new content” that can be injected with different ads according to the sponsor of the day.
