  • I really reeeally want to like GIMP, but I’ve never been able to get past the UI / learning curve. There are a number or patterns and interaction models that are significantly different than those adopted by the rest of the creative industry.

    I’m surprised that, after 25 years, none of the projects to redo the UX have really stuck and gained significant momentum.

    Designers are famously broke. Especially graphic designers. A raster graphics tool, with a half way decent UI, would easily gain traction.

    I wonder if it’s because the project just doesn’t have UX designers contributing to design and users testing. A lot of the UX feels like a random idea that someone had. Not something that was actually tested with real humans.






  • Reddit isn’t alone. Any company that gets a lot of traffic from Google is feeling the impact.

    Reddit YoY profit is quite strong, but daily active users is softer than expected. A lot of people suspect that they, like many other companies that depend on SEO for a chunk of users, are being impacted by LLMs.

    Many questions that would normally get answered in Reddit start and end in GPT or Gemini / AI overview.








  • The point of brining up Diddy is was that he got a restricted laptop in MDC and Luigi is in MDC.

    MDC should have this figured out. This smells like stalling.

    Edit: also worth noting, most prisons have laptop and tablet platforms that are specifically for prisoners. The devices, the network, etc. It’s all an out of the box solution handled by a vendor, and it’s locked down from the jump. This should be like McDonald’s serving another hamburger. It’s a request for something that has been dumbed down and automated.
