  • Massive issues with sleep and desperate for a solution.

  • Not a doctor, but I believe people should be careful with selfmedicating melatonine. Each person needs a different amount and at different times to make it effective. Too much melatonine can actually make you sleepy during daytime, or have an adverse effect on sleep. Get help from a sleeping expert on whether this is right for you.

    Rest of the tips are great.

  • I've used Gimp all through my teenage years. And I used it a LOT. It was quite a difficult transition to Photoshop (which my workplace uses). But once I got the hang of photoshop, I realized how convoluted Gimp really is.

    Half the time spent in Gimp is making backups before making an edit. A third of your layers will be backup layers in case you change your mind about a design decision. The whole design process is super inflexible and therefor kills creativity.

    Want to use an effect like gaussian blur or drop shadow? Make sure you backup your layer! Want to edit text after you stretched it all out? I hope you made a backup of that layer! Want to work with large files with many layers? You better hit ctrl S after every edit, because the program just might crash on you if you make a difficult selection!

    To be fair, I haven't used much Gimp since 2.8, so if stuff is different now: awesome! And I admire all volunteers that work to make stuff better. But for now, I'll stay away from it if I need to do heavy editing.

  • I always wondered if I could contribute/volunteer to a FOSS somehow with some UIX stuff, but I don't even know where to start. Would you just draw a concept ui for the team to work out or something?

    Not that I'm great at it, but man, we gotta start somewhere, right?

  • Yes exactly. I used Gimp extensively (i think 2.8?) back in the day, and especially text was a pain to work with. If you rotated or resized text, you couldn't change what the text said anymore.

    Another example is making a layer grayscale. In gimp it would make the whole layer grayscale without any way to revert it. In Photoshop it sort of is like an extra "layer" on top of your colored layer that you can turn on and off, making it "non-destructive"

    Nowadays I mainly use Illustrator for work, so I could indeed probably give Inscape a good try. But sometimes you just need to work with pixels and gimps destructive workflow is just a dealbreaker for me. Still, it's impressive that the team got it so far, and I hope one day it will do a Blender and become the powehouse it deserves to be.

  • The biggest revelation for me when I switched to Photoshop for work about 4 years ago is that non-destructive editing is sooooo much nicer.

    I always had dozens of "backup" layers in my years with Gimp just in case I messed something up. I was always cautious about the order in which you had to do things. I was amazed with photoshop at the fact that you could edit text after warping, gradient coloring and outlining it. Saved so much hassle.

    I read non-destructive is in the pipelines for Gimp, and that would finally make it start become a viable alternative again.

  • What is the Internet for?

    Jump

  • As a dog person, I always begrudingly wished the dogs would have participated in some sort of memewar. The cats got all the "aww cute" memes, while dogs got all the "herpyderp" memes.

    But I guess that's why I like dogs more than dictatory, selfimposed, greater-than-thou cats.

  • Although it might feel like it's really important to stay on top of messages outside of those concentrating times, it really is not. Set your own terms for when to read messages and silence your app altogether.

    "But what if I miss out on...?"

    Don't let fomo control you. It will awkward at first wanting to check constantly, but you'll find that in reality you don't miss much if you check once or twice a day.

  • The biggest pet peeve I have with modern hardware versions is that in a laptop, the same hardware performs similair to a lower version of a desktop variant.

    Don't call it a 3070TI if it performs like a 3060TI. Just call it a 3060 TI from the start.

  • Maybe a bit the other way around: I replaced specialized gadgets with a simpler "tool"

    Since I switched from "specialized" clips for food bags to simple clothespins, my life is so much easier.

    Clothespins are easier to get on food bags and easier to get off.

  • I agree, I love when a site is focused.

    Like I said in another comment, got some big YourTheManNowDog vibes from these. Used to browse their random site visitor a lot back in the day.

    Also, love how yyyyyyy seems to be a randomized site.
