Holy shit! That’s their actual cover! Unbelievable. Unfortunately, I’m fairly certain it isn’t meant as a compliment.
(Not as scary as I look, I promise)

Isn’t it just firefox -p [name of profile]?


You need to have enough reps in the US House of Representatives that will vote for impeachment; right now it’s 219 Republicans to 213 Democrats. Just about all of the Republicans are terrified of doing something to anger Trump, and so they wouldn’t vote for impeachment, which I believe requires a majority to pass. With the Republicans in the majority and in control of the chamber, their leader, the speaker of the house, IIRC can make sure that the motion to impeach never even comes to the floor for a vote (fellow Lemmings, please correct me if I’m wrong on any of the details here), which they wouldn’t win even if it did.
Ok, but say you’re able to Impeach the Giant Orange Infant in the House. Then things move to the Senate where Dems are also in the minority, and you would then either need a majority of Senators (or maybe a ⅔ majority? don’t remember) to remove the President from office. The Senate is currently 53-47, with Republicans in the majority.
So basically, there just aren’t enough Democrats to get the ball rolling, and impeachment and removal are off the table for the moment. Also, the Democratic party, as long as I have been alive, has been the party of moral cowardice and weakness.
If things get bad enough, which I believe they very well might, this situation may change . . . like if the stock market crashes, and we’re sent into a second great depression; if inflation continues to rise; if we start another forever war by attacking Venezuela, but I digress . . .
And also, I think I’m safe in saying that Americans are some of the dumbest people on Planet Earth. Despite how bad Kamala Harris was, I really didn’t think people would vote for Trump a second time, after what we went through the first time, but here we are. America=Dumb.


Since Mrs. Erinaceus is considering switching, I was going to try and steer her towards Mint, but since she’s a gamer and I’m not (I know, boring) perhaps this would not be the best choice? Please tell me more.


Now that almost everyone on planet earth has a small camera with them at all times, it would have been really cool to have discovered some supernatural stuff, be it ghosts, Big Foot, Nessie, whatever (and someone still might, who knows?) , but instead all we get is police brutality. 🙁


@xorvixen@lemmy.ml: I’m not familiar with Affinity, so unfortunately I can’t speak to that. It looks like it’s not Linux compatible, but you could always run it in a virtual machine (which, if you’re not familiar with, sounds kind of scary and hard, but if I can set one up, I’m fairly confident that just about anyone else can too!).
There’s also Viva, which is proprietary, but does have a Linux version (actually looks to be more of an InDesign replacement, so scratch that).
You can always go through what AlternativeTo recommends, and see what works best fot you.
What do you feel is missing in GIMP? If, by any chance it’s full CMYK support, I believe that Krita has that and possibly other features you may be looking for as well.
@ComradeMiao@lemmy.world: Yeah, I do feel that Linux comes up a bit short in the PDF editing department. Even though it’s proprietary, I do really like Master PDF editor, for which I believe there is a free version, but I do think is worth paying for if there’s room in your budget for it. Also, have a look at this.
I don’t know about games, but I have had the thought in the past that if there were really good alternatives to Adobe products (which for the most part do exist, at least for my needs) that people could quite easily ditch Windows if they wanted to and would never look back. Due to enshittification, I think it’s only going to become more and more intrusive over time.
Anyway, hope this helps!


Depending on what you need, I might be able to suggest some Adobe alternatives to you, having just been through this myself.

I don’t know how someone can live that long eating that kind of diet. On the upside though, if they give him an enema before he dies they can bury him in a matchbox 😁.
(Stole that from Christopher Hitchens).


Kind of out of my depth here, but what machine are you running it on?
Seems like we ought to have a rotating wheel space station by now.


Another vote for Mint.
Right—just what I was about to say.
