a lot of them have anime or furry stuff as their wallpaper or profile picture, but they use linux

What you’re experiencing is sonder.

This message doesn’t say anything about the validity of your license, though. Or am I missing something?

I’m not up to date on Windows versions, but saying Win 11 has reached end of service is… unexpected?

There are several UI translation projects, one is Transifex. There is also Crowdin, but I see they have started using “AI” translations as well…

Generally, both mobile and web apps that are interested in volunteer translators will have a link to their preferred platform in their source code repository.

Ew, blooskie.

All the more reason to chip in as a (human) volunteer translating open source apps 🙂

I’ve used deepl, and as a “quick solution/I’m fine with the occasional error” translation service it’s definitely better than Google. As a commercial platform probably tracking more than I personally care for, trying to corner a market share —not so much.

But neither of the above are fit for translating books of any kind (except perhaps as a joke to emphasise just that). And I’m still doubtful of the “AI” models doing any better.

You say “chance”, I read “intent” 🤷 Mainstream isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.

While true, covering up fundamental faults to keep afloat is hardly an example of best practice.

This weird grudge match is devolving more and more into schoolyard tactics. I’ve been wary of all the Automattic service integrations even in self hosted WP, and it’s turning out even worse than I could imagine. Not with simple enshittification, but with a complete egomaniacal tantrum.

My earnest hope is that all of the former WordPress community supporters and contributors, swivel and start investing their time and effort into WriteFreely.

I’m afraid there won’t be one replacement for WordPress, because it has so many applications. The pure blogging aspect could be substituted by Writefreely, more advanced users may go to Ghost, and I’m not sure what small business and corporate websites will turn to?

Have a downvote for the complete lack of context. What is this, why is it interesting to you?

All I see here is a lowest effort share of something that should probably just have been added to your personal reading list 🤷

Same. My web host is already creaking under the strain of Wordpress, I’m not going to chance it by adding two-way federation to the rickety database.

I suspect that they have ulterior motives

Rather than guessing at the motives of others, let’s remember Hanlon’s razor.

Just any year, I’m not unreasonable 😂

I’m just really excited by this major version, and am impatient to get my hands on the final release…

Yeah, fingers crossed for an actual release before New Year, though.

Exactly.

I don’t have figures on how many people actually use GIMP, but I’m guessing a lot more than the number of people griping about its usability online.

So close…! 😂

Exciting! Hoping the RC process is short for this version 🤞🤞🤞

No, it’s only code and pixels 🙂

Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks!
