I was just going to have the Win7 machine be a Steam machine, basically, and I was gonna switch over to Mint or Ubuntu full time. The makers of Gimp totally made the UI for Gimp awesome. It's just as usable as Photoshop is now. Except.... for one..... small corner case.......
I have to use something called Indexed Color to bring the graphics for Cyberganked down to 4 colors. Photoshop lets you put in a percentage that lets you decide how light or dark the image is. For instance:
[imgur id="Ukkhe"]
The first one is at 90% and the second one is at 30%. The first one is washed out and unusable. The second one (lacking enough cyan, but ignore that for a moment) is better-aligned with the look I'm going for. ANYWAY, Gimp doesn't have a way to input percentages. That one goddamn thing is what is keeping Windows 7 as my main PC. I was almost out!
Shit like this, by the way, is also keeping me away:
Users were angry that clicking the cross to dismiss the box meant that they had agreed to the upgrade.
Based on "customer feedback", Microsoft said it would add another notification that provided customers with "an additional opportunity for cancelling the upgrade".
The pop-up design had been described as a "nasty trick".
If I am reading the article correctly, they turned the fucking red x cross into AGREEMENT. They undid one of the basic tenets of their operating system, going back to Windows for Workgroups, to put their shitty malware on people's computers. People trying to get work done. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck them.
At this point, it's not an accident, it's not a screw up, it's not a mistake. They are no different than a porn pop up that tries to trick you. I mean the group "you" here, sir. They have been pulling this shit since Windows 95. My pal Walrustitty was an early adopter of everything and when Win95 came out I didn't upgrade my DOS machine because I needed to get into real DOS 6.22 for games. Like you, he doesn't have the same issues I do with this stuff and he was also installing W95 all the time. Early on, though Microsoft promised that it wouldn't fuck with real DOS and remove it, it fucked with real DOS and removed it. Oops, ha ha! They said it was an accident and later corrected it. It wasn't an accident. It wasn't an accident, or they have the most incompetent fucking losers working for them for 20 years now.
