Oh that's good! Thanks for laying that out for me. And, please, don't take what I say as bashing the one guy who's working on this (at least I hear it's only one person). I think for a single person it's incredible what they've gotten to, and I salute them for that. I was merely explaining it from an objective viewpoint. I have very little but respect for the guy behind it all.

Exactly.

And even with the stuff it can do takes 10x longer to do than with most other raster editing software because the UI and UX is so darn convoluted. Like, seriously, I want to like GIMP, but frankly I and most people in fact ain't gonna spend 10 minutes trying to figure out how to rotate a layer. Lol.

Frankly, at this point, I just wish Paint.\NET was able to be run on Linux, but I believe it still uses some Windows-specific components—can't remember what they are—that can't quite yet be replicated properly using Mono. (Might be some Windows-specific DLLs? Idk.)

Oh I did not realize that! Excellent. :)

Didn't know that Codeberg did that. I'll have to add that to my list of reasons why I love Codeberg. Lol.

Yeah I know, and I don't like that limitation. Lol. xD

To be honest with you, I didn't even know that was a feature. (Unless I'm misunderstanding you.) Sounds cool!

If I need to search a website, I use either Ctrl+F or the site: search engine operator.

Ohhh you know that makes sense. So, basically, what you're saying is this?

[Files] = [Files]

[Compressed Archive] = [Files] + [Archive Metadata]

Fuck yeah... Yo_oY

This is good news. There are a lot of great FOSS alternatives on Linux, but raster editing is one of the last few blind spots, I've found.

• Krita is designed more for painting,
• MyPaint also seems designed more for digital artwork (and, perhaps just in my experience, but it also seemed rather unstable and kept crashing)
• KolourPaint is very barebones (seems to be much more a replacement to MS Paint than anything else, so can't really blame it for that)
• Inkscape is a vector editor. 'Nuff said.
• Pinta is the closest to Paint.\NET you're gonna get on Linux, except it's based on before the latter went closed-source (bastard...) and as such it's not as feature-complete as Paint.\NET is.

GIMP, meanwhile, doesn't even have nondestructive editing and also can't draw basic shapes (like squares, cylinders, etc.), can't seemingly rotate layers without opening the [floating RMB menu] > Layer > Transform > Arbitrary Rotation dialog window, and good GOD the floating menus can go fuck themselves. How I hate the floating menus. Did I mention the floating menus suck? Not sure if I mentioned that.

Anyway, this switch to 3.0 is really needed and I'm genuinely excited to see the changes it brings, to the UI and the UX in particular.

Just a shame that they're switching over to GTK3 when most other developers seem to be transitioning to GTK4.

Why does it get bigger? I've wondered that for a while now.

I would think that compressing something that's already compressed would still compress it further but at diminishing returns.

His goal.

A VP could have the goal to increase profits by 500% over the next 6 months but that doesn't mean it's gonna happen.

It might happen, but just because someone says it's their goal is no confirmation that it will happen.

I see from the "View source" option that your comment has everything in a neat, line-by-line fashion, though the final markup is decidedly not.

So, a pro-tip I've noticed from my own commenting experience: even if you have a line break, Lemmy (for some stupid reason) won't apply one when rendering; so if you want it to show, you have to use two line breaks, though then there will be an extra half-line or so that you probably never wanted.

For example, don't do

Line Item 1
Line Item 2

but rather do

Line Item 1

Line Item 2

Yes, I agree it's rather stupid.
