For a while there, there was a fork of GIMP that simply changed the name to Glimpse. That was the only one I felt comfortable mentioning in professional contexts.

Jews, Christians and Muslims all pray to the same god.

The rich ones don’t see us as humans and the poor ones like the idea of people they don’t like suffering even if they have to suffer, too.

There’s your rationale.

“File types” like avi, mp4, etc are container formats. Codecs encode video streams that can be held in different container formats. Some container formats can only hold video streams encoded with specific codecs.

They signed up to brutalize brown people, not build houses.

Easy to say when you aren’t facing the threat of bias intimidation or hate crime by recently emboldened bigots, things that actually happen unlike the caravan paranoia.

Look at the stats, fentanyl has always been rarely prescribed and even more rarely prescribed compared to other opioids. The fentanyl crisis is a crisis of economics: there is less profit to be made in creating, smuggling and selling other opioids compared to fentanyl.

If you want to be accurate, doctors prescribed non-fentanyl opioids in situations where they weren’t needed, often illegally, when those prescriptions ran out, that caused a heroin crisis. That heroin crisis became a fentanyl crisis when drug dealers stopped selling heroin in favor of the cheaper and much stronger fentanyl.

Doctors aren’t prescribing, nor are they they source of, illicit fentanyl. The ease of synthesis means that clandestine labs can make a shit ton of the stuff, it’s that simple.

All you need to do is insert the kvm module and use something like QEMU to take advantage of it. I’d assume if you’re using QEMU then you’re using KVM by default.

Yeah, you either need a separate GPU or a iGPU/dGPU that supports SR-IOV. Some Intel iGPUs support it, and allow you to make virtual GPUs that can be pass-through`ed to VMs.

Different OSes for different use cases. You have a job to do. Just use Windows.

If you want to use Linux, use it on your own machines on your own time.

That said, there are a few things you can do if you really want to use Linux:

1. Test if the app works on Wine, Proton, etc. Even GPU accelerated apps can work, depending on the software/driver stack.
2. Run a Windows VM and pass-through a GPU. That way you’ll get native performance on the app that’s GPU intensive. Use KVM and the CPU overhead will be negligible.
3. If you’re doing 3D modeling/rendering, SFX, video editing or ML/AI, there are a lot of options on Linux. Some options that exist in Windows also have Linux versions.

Doctors aren’t prescribing cocaine for the hell of it, though. Same thing with puberty blockers. Think we can trust doctors’ judgment when it comes to the drugs they prescribe.

Yes, as everyone knows, if you accurately call out genocide when you see it, you actually want there to be genocide. You sick ghouls need to stop noticing genocide so I can go back to concern trolling in peace.

Humor is a powerful rhetorical weapon. I wouldn’t discount it.

Looks like Google is calling it Play Integrity these days: https://developer.android.com/privacy-and-security/safetynet/deprecation-timeline

But it’s this: https://developer.android.com/google/play/integrity

It’s an API that ensures you’re running apps on the hardware and Android ROMs Google approves of. It can also ensure that apps are not running on rooted phones.

Developers can integrate it into their apps. Banking apps do it, for example, and won’t run in Waydroid as a result. More and more apps integrate it over time.

Because it’s easy to pull a trigger to permanently silence people who might become a slight inconvenience at most.

You can use QEMU’s usermode emulation to transparently run ARM binaries with binfmt_misc on x86.

You can test Linux out by using a live USB instance or in a VM. You can also dual boot so you’ll always have Windows available if you need it.

You can also install WSL on Windows or something like Git Bash or MSYS2 to get a Linux-y environment on Windows.

Will never happen because of SafetyNet. Google does not want you running Android apps on anything other than their approved Android ROMs.

In the 2000’s, religious people would blame hurricanes on things like gay marriage.
