No there isn't. Companies are incentivised to extract as much money as possible from any given buyer. There is never a "this is enough money, I won't charge you more" situation. Inevitably every buyer will become a non-buyer, because they were outpriced.
Competition should solve this issue, but it doesn't work in media because there's no two rights holders for star wars content, or marvel content, or whatever. So services cannot compete on the same content, because the rights holders simply won't let them.
Copyright is a pest.
It's really a double edged sword that there's no mechanism against trying again and again and again until it finally goes through.
EUROPEAN (adjective) Belonging to or relating to Europe or its people.
That cheese got in your head.
Well, going by the article: 40.
What's on the other side of middle age? Well, I'm not there yet, but it sure looks like the answer is "more work".
So why isn't it competitive?
Because it's made by volunteers, in their free time, who either don't have the time or skill or goal to make it competitive. But I wrote that a couple of times already and you continue to ignore it. So much for 'not seeing my point'.
It doesn't follow patterns that similar software follows, because they're used to it, so everyone else should be too.
If someone is not able or willing to learn their way around something new, that's literally their problem. Why would it need to be similar? If you want Photoshop, well then use Photoshop. Sometimes doing something different might also end up being the better idea. Won't know until you tried.
And yes, good software is good code. That's just a fact. Because otherwise you inevitably end up stuck and need to refractor the whole thing, instead of adding new features. And then angry people start complaining how you're not competitive, and oh my.
Have a nice day.
Weil eine lange Zeit unsere liebe CDU (in Form von Springer et al) den Hauptnutzen aus der Abwärtsspirale aus Aufregung und Empörung gezogen hat. Da war das ganz willkommen.
It is the next best completely free alternative. Whether people like it or not.
GIMP has had literally decades of development and even with Photoshop in the worst state it's ever been in, it isn't competitive.
How is that an argument? How do you get the idea that GIMP is basically required to be competitive, just because it's old? Completely disregarding the fact it's made by volunteers vs a billion dollar company. And also completely disregarding the fact that Photoshop is even older than GIMP. By your own logic, just going by age, how can they be competitive when they are half a decade younger than PS?
Rewriting the whole thing would sure help. But not with the "I'm not going to help, fuck off" community.
Nobody is acting shocked. Least the people who learned to use GIMP.
The problem is people like you who are outraged, when asking for a free Photoshop alternative, that the next best thing is not to their likening.
And yes "consider fixing it yourself" is absolutely a valid response for GIMP issues because GIMP is made by volunteers For Photoshop it a bullshit response because it's made by a billion dollar company which charges you for the development and use.
It's a bit lunatic, but it's arguably the only way forward. GIMP doesn't have a multi billion dollar company behind - only volunteers.
Expecting the developers to have the capacity and skill to emulate the features and looks of Photoshop (and quickly, please) - in their free time - is even more lunatic.
Sure let me know in a ticket, I'll get to it eventually!
Working the neutral way currently. There're so many tickets, all of them more important than the other, I can just as well take from the stack.
I know. I was just expanding on the other persons joke (I assume he joked). :)
You are a good person for being this patient and sharing your knowledge.
Better even. They made the movable pool quite long. So while the horses dragged the pool the ships could still sail in it. That way the horses didn't need to drag the pool the whole way!
Everything I don't like is an ad.
Seriously. People. Get off your high horses. It's a fucking greetext of someone liking something.
Not going to happen. Nobody can afford promo trolling because then people are simply not going. Word to mouth propaganda doesn't bring the masses needed to pay the bills nowadays.
Die Befürchtung war, dass dir bei einer Fahrt mit der Eisenbahn die Luft aus der Lunge gesogen würde. Also Unterdruck im Waggon bedingt durch die Zugluft.
LIeber mutig demokratisch als absolut autokratisch.Also halt den Rand mit deinem heuchlerischen "bisschen Whataboutism".
Geh einfach.
As im just on my way to Strasbourg and Colmar for the weekend, thank you for this community. 👍
Main goal is to see the Christmas markets, but what else should we not miss while being there?
Also how much French will I need to get around? I remember the basics, but well, don't want to offend anyone either.
Sie spinnen Intrigen, paktieren, schüchtern ein: Eine t-online-Recherche zeigt, wie der extrem rechte Burschenschaftler Daniel Halemba über die AfD mit dubiosen Methoden ein Landtagsmandat kapert.
Eine rechte Partei aufbauen und dann wundern dass rechtsextreme kommen und sie an sich reißen.
For over two decades, Counter-Strike has offered an elite competitive experience, one shaped by millions of players from across the globe. And now the next chapter in the CS story is about to begin. This is Counter-Strike 2.
CS2 wurde gestern Abend weltweit ausgerollt und die CS:GO Server abgeschaltet.
In dem Sinne: Los, raus da, gleich rummst es. und glhf
Meine Lieblings-T-Shirts geben langsam auf, und ich muss mich nach Alternativen umsehen.
Wichtig ist mir vor allem, dass sie formstabil sind, dass ich sie verschiedenen Unifarben bekommen kann, und dass sie mit V-Ausschnitt daherkommen. Letzters stellt allerdings kein k.o. Kriterium dar. Ein möglichst hoher Baumwollanteil ist selbstverständlich. Ich bin bereit für Qualität Geld auszugeben (und dass dieses in die richtigen Taschen wandert), bezahlbar müssen sie aber letztendlich auch sein.
Meine letzten Shirts die mich qualitätsmäßig überzeugt haben ("fitted" v-necks von Mavi) sind hier nur sehr schwer zu bekommen - und dafür in die Türkei zu fliegen ist weder nachhaltig noch günstig.
Was sind eure go-to Tshirts / Marken / Hersteller?
