  <imprevisto:matrix.org> GIMP sux

  <imprevisto:matrix.org> sorry, I love FOSS but GIMP is pain
• 05:07
  BlueyHealer
  Yeah, I commonly see that. I mentioned it because that's what I'm used to (and I only clean up scans there, so usage is not that complicated).

  <heyadora:matrix.org> @imprevisto:matrix.org: You need to embrace the pain

  <imprevisto:matrix.org> GIMP needs a choke chain
• 06:32
  BlueyHealer
  what
• 06:33
  br-m
  <heyadora:matrix.org> @imprevisto:matrix.org: use right click in gimp to do everything :V
• 06:33
  br-m
  <heyadora:matrix.org> Also get gimp 3
• 06:33
  br-m
  <imprevisto:matrix.org> nah GIMP crashes and sucks for really basic stuff
• 06:33
  br-m
  <imprevisto:matrix.org> I am glad it exists but it is pretty bad.
• 06:34
  br-m
  <imprevisto:matrix.org> I will die on this hill. GIMP will not be able to get to me because it has no function in its legs

  <heyadora:matrix.org> @imprevisto:matrix.org: Crashes? Owo interesting

  It's not the only one. I haven't tried Krita personally, but it seems decently popular.
• 06:36
  br-m
  <imprevisto:matrix.org> easier to just type something into a ML model
• 06:36
  br-m
  <heyadora:matrix.org> BlueyHealer: Krita for drawing
• 06:36
  br-m
  <heyadora:matrix.org> Gimp for editing
• 06:37

  imprevisto, ...And typing text on a colored background is even easier than that, without being absolutely disgusting.

  Sindy
  i remember when people used to scribble dumb shit in mspaint to show how they don't care
• 06:44
  br-m
  <imprevisto:matrix.org> what text do you need, I'll come back in 2 min with it, no gimp needed
• 06:44
  BlueyHealer
  MS Paint could at least be funny
• 06:44
  BlueyHealer
  You mean you'd generate it? what's the point here?

  <testtank:matrix.org> In a hypothetical scenario where we know a remote node is 100% honest, emphasis on the hypotetical, is it safer then using your own node?
• 17:48
  br-m
  <testtank:matrix.org> To prevent ip tracing
• 17:49
  Sindy
  if the remote node is behind an anonymizer like tor or I2P, then it's better because when more people use it, it's more useless to spy nodes
• 17:49
  Sindy
  spy nodes look for self-hosted nodes that used by like 1 or 2 people
• 17:49
  Sindy
  to associate transactions

  <monerojuana_:matrix.org> I run 300 spy nodes , bye ✌️
