  • In the late 1990s/early 2000s, there was some satire article about how to get most effective Linux support. Just write an angry news/blog article about how Linux sucks because it doesn’t (insert the thing you’re having problems with here). You bet someone will immediately respond how you’re an idiot and you should (insert detailed explanation of how to fix the thing here).



  • The red eye effect happens when flash reflects off the retina. Compact cameras (film and early digital) had flash very close to the lens, so there was a high chance of that happening.

    Not much of a chance these days, when most people take photos with cell phones, the cellphone cameras have adequate low light performance so you don’t need flash to begin with, and the “flash” is just an LED that isn’t as luminous as a real flash bulb.

    GIMP didn’t “just figure out non-destructive editing by 2025”. You’re talking as if it was something that the GIMP development team just decided to randomly add recently, after previously ignoring user demands.

    The foundation for that functionality (GEGL) has been in development for ages and was also used for some functionality in 2.6 for a long time. The reason why it took this long is that it’s a pretty fundamental change to how the app works. Also, that meshed with other upcoming changes at the time. Also, small development team.
