oh shit, nevermind then

looks pretty much identical on Lineage

araneus diadematus?

aye, i also really hope this will turn out good in the end. but you know what they say - hope for the best, prepare for the worst. at the same time…

[…] and all the work people are going to do […]

if i recall correctly i think Rick is the only person calling the shots in terms of development. if that’s not the case then your sentiment holds up a lot but if he really is the only one then i’ll keep being worried. i’ve seen too many developers go down the AI path and absolutely gut their image as a result and i hope that’s not what’s gonna happen to paint.net, there’s genuinely no other program like it

honestly? imo it should not have existed at all then. i feel like this is going to be really bad for the long run if Rick starts using AI not only for the compatibility layer but also for paint.net’s core codebase.

and frankly i think if he had made the codebase open source again we would have made a lot more progress on Linux compatibility. paint.net doesn’t really have a solid reason to stay closed source imo, especially because Rick has already shown that he can handle copyright infringment cases when he secured the paint.net domain (his reasoning for making the codebase closed source was that people were stealing his code, rebranding it, and publishing as their own. imo his decision didn’t do much as you can still decompile the binaries, change all the branding, and then recompile and publish, so this only really hurt contributions to the project and nothing else)

that was the old controversy. nowadays it’s the latest alpha release (v5.2) being coded in large part by AI

i know right LMAO i need to get some popcorn too

i bestow upon thee the gift of READING THE ARTICLE!!!
sorry

anyway rick brewster, the dev of paint.net, used Claude to code the compatibility code for Linux. on one hand i can understand it because Direct2D is a piece of shit but on the other hand i feel like he could’ve gone about this in a different way than slopifying his codebase.

oh damn and i thought i would be the only one who went with DOOOA lol

YES, in Poland our minimum wage is a little over half of that (around $1200 before tax) and even then you’d be lucky to be earning that much.

Bilastine and corticosteroid nasal spray for me. During the easier periods I can live on bilastine alone. If neither work then reduce exposure immediately, and if that doesn’t help either, then make peace and wait for the sweet release of death.

ah damn, that sucks. thanks for the answer!

Thank you so much! Weirdly enough (and the parts diagram you sent confirms this), my rifle seems to be running some completely different trigger system to the ones I see everywhere on the web, so I think the best choice will really be to just get a replacement trigger box. It’ll make any future replacements that much easier too, since it will actually be possible to buy compatible sears. Thank you for the 3D printer idea! I do have a friend who has one, so I’ll model and print a new sear to try and see if it’s the sear causing all this.

I couldn’t believe the numbers and a simple lookup on Wikipedia confirmed the horrors - all golf courses in the U.S. together use approximately 2.5bn gallons A DAY for irrigation. That is such an insanely high number.

helmets FTW.

i still remember when i was walking around my countryside in november on some very slippery ice. expectedly, i slipped and fell straight on my head. the only thing that saved me was that i was still in my airsoft uniform from a match earlier that day, and the helmet absorbed the impact.
