Apropos of nothing, this is astonishing me to no end. The ergonomics of 1) using a phone keyboard for anything but a word or two and 2) doing so while walking pretty much guarantee that I'd probably need a half a day to recover if I attempted the same.

YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss seems valid ISO 8601 to me, isn't it? Neither the "T" nor the timezone are required as far as I recall.

EDIT: The site says ISO 8601-1:2019 requires a T for datetimes, and that even though previous editions allowed for no T, a space was never allowed. This is shocking news to me.

Blender being harder to learn has pretty much zero to do with how great or poor the experience of using it is. On top of missing the point, you're also missing the connection between the lack "troll posts" and what the user experience is like.

But since you're muttering to yourself about troll posts and how it's really just a skills issue, I might as well go and mutter to myself about how great Gimp could be if it had users who had standards instead of being chronic enablers who just cheerfully whistle through the wart fair it is.

I've had my yearly share of discussing Gimp I think. I'll just keep to my routine: see an update, install it in hopes of finding it has changed, and quit it ten minutes later kicking myself for being dumb enough to allow myself to hope.

It's a me problem alright, but I'm in no way unique in refusing to put up with the mountain of grief that the Gimp UX is.

­> I've been using it productively for photo editing and web design for two decades+.

I know Gimp must have its share of long term users but they're a miracle to me and I don't know what to say to that. I suppose it's good people reading these threads who are open to giving Gimp a go see there are users for whom it's working out.

Can I come live in whatever bizarro world you're in? I've never heard of Hotwire before but I'm up to my ears with htmx this and htmx that. It's impossible to spend a minute on Youtube without seeing programmer influencers with their moronic thumbnails featuring their face twerks next to htmx.

It does, unless your interest is in justifying the breaking of law and abuse of powers.

These people were granted amazing powers, are paid from taxes, and yet somehow it's too much to expect that they'd have an ounce of respect for the law and the privacy of their supposed fellow citizens. Unscrupulous individuals who work overtime to figure out ways to abuse their powers.

And it really is unfathomable to me how it's possible for someone to be an agent of government, knowing you're responsible for being that for which no one nowhere should trust their government with any powers, and somehow still being able to go about your daily activities without your conscience tearing you into pieces. Impossible to say enough bad things about these specimens.

Absolutely not faulting the devs in any way for wanting to rid themselves of having to maintain the DSA bits, but this idea of "just" using past releases seems theoretical. I'd be surprised if I managed to compile an OpenSSH release from even just a couple of years ago. There'd be some glibc incompatibility or something equally gnarly.

The only reason I ever paid for Netflix, HBO and Prime was because I felt less bad about never leaving in the first place.

The UIs are atrocious, yes, but the absolute worst part of them all is that you have zero control. Content is there one day, gone the next.

Not being able to interact with a business on Facebook or on any of the other equally insignificant platforms simply does not rate.

And if a governmental agency requires you to use Facebook to interact with them, without any stipulations to bind Meta to serve you, well it's alarming that anyone would have time to say a single thing about Meta instead of address the real issue of the agency having the power to in effect force you to interact with facebook.com.

Oh my, meanwhile I'm too scared to type even the most generic of questions to ChatGPT. Keep in mind that your "friend" in this instance ends up being OpenAI, the company, made of bunch of people, people other than your friend.

And to all the EU cheerleaders about to educate me how, thanks to the GDPR, my local municipality has to treat my email with care when I go ask for a building permit: go gaslight your grandma instead.
