GIMP's not nor has ever been a serious alternative to Photoshop, either.

The high-end compact C-Lux, D-Lux and V-Lux series are all Panasonic-made, and account for the majority of Leica sales. All the Leica DG lenses in m4/3 are also Panasonic-made. Leica Q cameras have mostly Panasonic innards, as do the L mount SL series.

Lenses in the L mount system (the one actually aimed at pros who need basic modern functions like autofocus, rather than at dentists and accountants buying status symbol M cameras and lenses) are mostly made by Panasonic and Sigma.

Most people aren't degenerate gamblers, especially to the point that they shill their favorite online casino in the discussion of a completely unrelated topic.

TV might not be the most intellectually-stimulating of activities, but it'll drain your bank account far more slowly than throwing your money at the parasitic criminals who run online casinos.

Renewing a driver's license isn't just a "tedious task." It's also a sworn affidavit to a government agency that the information contained therein is true.

If you are lucky, when the AI agent fucks up and enters false info, the government will say "AIs don't have the capacity to form legal intent" and simply void the application.

If you're not, they'll prosecute.

30 years, and it's on version 0.4.

I mean, yeah, there are some potentially interesting use cases if it were to be developed more significantly, but it remains a hobby-level project at best. Good on the developers for apparently managing to get paid for working on it, I suppose.

The irony about your bakery owner's holding out is that not only has he been missing out on 15 years of rents, but by keeping his property vacant, he's actively depressing property values in the neighborhood and undermining his own investment in the real estate, not to mention those of his neighbors.

I immediately knew when I saw "one San Francisco shopping district" that they were talking about Hayes Valley. When I lived there in the early aughts, most of the retail shops and restaurants along Hayes street were relatively longstanding, having been there for a decade or more. Now every time I go back every year or two, the retail establishments are completely different.

We should thank god our government is actively combatting this by loading up all the chemtrails with artificial testosterone to counteract this oh-so-real menace!

Charlottesville, not "Charlotte," dumbass, and organizer Richard Spencer throwing Sieg Heils on camera there shows that it wasn't misrepresented at all.

It's not just an idea he published, it's an implementation. One he stands to profit from. And one he is encouraging people to deploy while smugly bragging about it.

Would you feel the same way if some "messenger" broke into your home, stole your possessions, and spray painted "Fuck you, ZiggyZigZig! Should have invested in some better locks!" across your living room wall?

You just described the entire trajectory of popular music starting from about 1985.

WTF are you talking about? All I see is a photo of a completely normal-looking young woman in her 20s wearing no makeup. She certainly looks no different than my Gen X peers looked at that age.

Dear lord, the irony.

This is your brain on drugs.

Any questions?

Strike two. Maybe third time's the charm?

Are you sure all of those were in High School? Some of those books (Johnny Tremain, A Wrinkle in Time, Rascal) are more like 4th-5th grade books, and others (Shane, Connecticut Yankee) are more like Junior High level.
