"I am not in one of the niche areas that Photoshop serves and serves well so i dont give a damn. If I don't need it no-one does",

No, actually some of us do use some special features.

Like Spot colors for specialized metallic ink or packaging that saves load of money by using one pre-mixed ink plate.

Or bizarro file formats (If you think GIMP is going to open a file from an Ultrasound machine you think wrong)

Or very precise integration with the color profiles and mapping between your screens RGB and Indesign CMYK based printing workflow for accurate printing results. Hint: Printing, as in serious Printing, uses way different processes to render those nice colors than the RGB phosphors in you screen. they don't match. At all. Photoshop makes it work.

There ARE serious applications for photo software outside viewing and editing your porn in RGB out there.

Is PhotoShop a program for the average Joe? No.
Is a 25 Ton Semi-Truck a car for the average Joe? Neither.

But for some reason the Average Joe knows he does not need that truck but he only heard of Photoshop and then gets upset by the fact that he uses a hard-core high-end professional tool for professionals.

That does not make the tool garbage. That makes it an industry standard tool that needs all the bells and whistles used in real industry outside of you computer basement. I am pretty sure Adobe also thinks the thing is overloaded but they have a wide spectrum of clients.

Just like there are cars that suit your needs there are photo editing apps that suit your needs. Photoshop is almost surely not that tool.

Get out of your moms basement

Actually, the people who forget that seem to be in the business of marketing and press releases. QC has been the apocalypse that would turn the world on it's head breaking crypto left and right in the next 2 years for at least 10 years now. It still can't do prime factorization better or faster than a sixth grader with a pencil and paper. And the sixth grader won't charge as much.

Perhaps it will be useful one day, but not today. It may well take 100 years. Remember about 3 years ago when the size of quantum computers was going to double overnight? And how it went radio silent shortly after? The problem with QC isn't that it will never get here at all, it's the damned hype machine that promised it would be here now.

It's the same hype machine that told us we would be using crypto currency for all of our everyday transactions by now. The same hype machine that claims AI will replace everyone next year.

That's not how this works. There are a few ways to send an image to the bare display, but HDMI isn't one of them. If you actually look up the item list from TFS you will see that.

You didn't expect them to actually explain how you could manufacture an e-ink panel starting with sand and some chemicals in your kitchen, did you?

She stabbed a guy who shot her dog? Is she related to John Wick? While we are on the subject of movies with body counts that piles up in the stratosphere for no reason at all.

But it's not just the multi-billionaires. It's the many more multi-millionaires that produce nothing but wedge themselves into every transaction.

Look at any product that can be bought from an American company or direct from China. That HUGE price difference is how much the American company is skimming off the top.

It doesn't require nearly as many people working nearly as hard as we have now to provide for everyone.

Just clamp the phone between your knees while reading it and you can't get pregnant

I guess you didn't read very carefully. They found a marker that appears 5 years before a diagnosis and also part of the mechanism of smoking and other things causing lung cancer AND potentially how to interrupt it. That's a good bit more than simply finding a well known correlation.

I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.

⦠which form the basis of MacOS. A Neo with intern and bash is a very useful machine

Still is. The far majority of the core of Linux user space comes straight from there. You’re probably using it even as we speak

Since Microsoft doesn't honor their license agreements, why should anyone else?

It's not THAT unlikely that if you have Porsche money, you can afford to get 3 phase service in your home.

I get that there was probably a panicy passenger, but given 4.5 hours to land if they turn around or 4 hours to land if they continue to their destination and nothing but water under them either way, they may have actually prolonged the situation slightly by turning back.

They were half way there. It made no sense to turn around at that point.
