Man there’s a lot of really stupid shit in here.
Yes having a simple to use shape tool is nice. And it’s on the roadmap so no, it doesn’t go against some weird vaguely defined “core value” of gimp.
I wouldn’t have switched personally if Linux ui was still shit. I put the effort into learning because the initial experience was good enough to warrent delving deeper into it.
Like others have said, it’s on the roadmap. They just need (or want) to add vector layers first. So progress is being made.

Julian@lemm.eeto Linux@lemmy.ml•TIL that operating system Linux is an example of anarcho-communismEnglish1·1 year agoYes, open source software often requires funding and corporate support because we live in a primarily capitalist society. That doesn’t make it capitalist itself.
And I think the freedom foss offers is socialist - it necessitates cooperation, it’s open for all to see and contribute to, and the idea of ownership is very loose. It doesn’t matter what the political motivation is.
Julian@lemm.eeto Linux@lemmy.ml•TIL that operating system Linux is an example of anarcho-communismEnglish1·1 year agoThe idea of free software is extremely socialist/communist. People working together to create something that anyone can use for free, with profit being a non-existent or at least minor motivator.
Julian@lemm.eeto Games@sh.itjust.works•Ubisoft just added Denuvo to Assassins Creed Mirage via a day-1 patch a few minutes ago. AFTER all the major reviews went online.English1·2 years agoI’m thinking this too… like what’s even the point of using denuvo if it’s not applied day one? The whole point is to delay piracy so they sell more copies during launch week (in theory), so waiting until after day one completely ruins that since you can just pirate the easily cracked launch version.
If email were invented today people would complain about how complex and annoying it is to sign up.
Julian@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that sounds 100% false but is actually 100% true?English1·2 years agoYour car keys have better range if you press them to your head, since your skull will act as an antenna. It sounds like some made up pseudoscience that would never work in practice or have a negligible effect, but it actually works.
Edit: idk if it’s actually because your skull acts as an antenna, although that’s what I’ve heard. I looked it up and it seems like it’s your head acting as a reasonance chamber. Since your body is conductive, your head can bounce and amplify the radio signal.
Unfortunately mint’s file picker dialogue doesn’t have grid view yet - I think Gnome just got it a few versions ago. A workaround for now is to find stuff in the normal file browser, copy a file, then paste that into the directory in the file picker (control+L to edit the directory as text), then press enter.
