I get banned a lot because of accidentally using words that have become problematic when I wasn’t looking. How about we just stop letting extremists claim all the perfectly good words and symbols instead?

Y’know what maybe I will. Fuelled by the power of irritation I’ll try and fix it. If anyone’s reading this in a few months and the header tags are in a logical order; you’re welcome


Did you feel comfortable searching to learn how to use GIMP?


I found a Stack Overflow thread where people discuss this and actually test it. Further down the page is a 2026 test. The results are it’s basically the same, very little practical difference in normal usage. If you’re auto saving a file every 30 seconds you will not notice any difference between XML and JSON.
Personally, I like XML more for data files like this. I would not reach for JSON as my first thought for deserealizing a complex object hierarchy. Stuff like, a polygon can have a drawing of type vector which can have n paths which each have exactly 2 points… easy to store and validate in XML. Quite messy and complicated in JSON.
<Drawing type="polygon">
<Line color="#fed1aa">
<Point x="6" y="7" />
<Point x="69" y="420" />
</Line>
</Drawing>


I got irritated by the differences, but I was more irritated by Microslop, so it was the lesser of two irritants. I mostly figured it out eventually. Finding H2 is always at the bottom of the entire style list though for some fucking reason like there’s no excuse for that kind of mild irritation


Have you installed the drivers for your GPU? If games are lagging it might be using the wrong drivers. I don’t remember how to do that on Kubuntu specifically, but you should be able to find instructions fairly easily online. If that doesn’t work or you’re already using good drivers, try changing from/to Wayland/X11 from the login screen


Yeah it was pretty weak. To be fair my prompt was also very weak since it was just an example. I didn’t even say what people were upset about or what to apologise for


No offence, but I don’t feel like this thread is the right place for any kind of rational discussion. You can use your imagination for what the mod removed comments contained


It was the full prompt, in that I pasted the original post in the part where I said (paste post here), instead of literally writing “paste post here”, or omitting it from the prompt


Hey chat, can you write an apology for this post that doesn’t open us up to liability? (Paste post here)
Edit: here is what it gave me when I asked it
We hear the feedback we’ve received about our recent post, and we understand why it upset people.
Our intention was to celebrate the energy and commitment of our community, but the way we communicated that missed the mark. We recognize that parts of the post came across as encouraging decisions that shouldn’t be tied to employment opportunities or professional advancement. That was not the message we wanted to send.
We’re sorry for the confusion and concern the post caused.
We’ve removed the post and are reviewing how we communicate our events and recruiting activities to ensure our messaging better reflects our values and responsibilities.
We appreciate everyone who took the time to share their perspective. We’ll do better.


All I hear is personal attacks. How is it disgusting privilege to just live my life? Your life would be exactly the same if you didn’t open the news. It’s just the news cycle preying on your sense of injustice and impotent rage for clicks and money. There’s literally nothing you can do to stop a country on the other side of the world from doing stuff. And being snarky and hostile to neutral parties isn’t going to gather you any more support or sympathy.


Nice username by the way. Bonus points for irony


What are you on about lol


You got a problem, mate? Or you just going to be passive aggressive via emoji?
Fair enough. There’s been a lot of upscaled memes appearing on Lemmy recently, just my luck I comment on the only non-A.I. one


Not the same person. I don’t read the news, and I try not to watch genocides. I’m poorly informed about most politics and pretty happy about it to be honest. Sounds like they should probably stop genociding, that’s usually a bad thing to do. But I’m not going to pretend I know what’s actually happening over there or that I can do anything about it.
Why are we A.I. upscaling all the memes now? It looks so bad
I do also have those, but they got bored and lost interest. They do still occasionally get triggered by my username though 😂
I remove my own default upvote from my comments because I’m a weirdo
These are the same people that also spend 10k annually on drive through coffee, work cafeteria lunches and second coffee, then takeout for dinner; while also complaining how expensive everything is and how poor they are. The word “budget” isn’t in their dictionary
