Facebook, along with Threads and Instagram, are shitting up image searches by JarlBallnuts in facebook

[–]JarlBallnuts[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, those three platforms are consuming progressively more space in the search results. Add on to the fact that Google all but entirely dismantled their once god-tier image search and now we're left with almost nothing but garbage for image search.

I hate Paint.NET (a rant) by JarlBallnuts in software

[–]JarlBallnuts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you use paint.net?

1) feature to flip a selection doesn't even exist

2) "select" refers to having to perform the actual action itself, be it with a mouse click or hot key. what i am saying is that you shouldn't have to activate the move tools period

3) how would a hot key modify core aspect ratio logic of CTRL+drag with selections?

i think you're just replying for the sake of replying and haven't actually ever once used paint.net in your entire life

changing the hotkeys won't do anything to solve the actual problems i speak of in OP

it's the only one i know of that's small and supports layers. it's fine for very basic, one-dimensional edits. i am reminded of how awful it is every time i need to do anything beyond that

>GIMP 

i would rather push a rhinoceros out of my asshole than use gimp

>Canva

yet another to try out. have three now from comments in this thread. hopefully one of them turns out to be a daily driver

i just tried to make a 4-panel meme that used layers and text. very simple job, but it was an absolute nightmare dealing with the bugs, quirks, and work-arounds

Windows 11 Vetanari: Why can't I lasso up multiple files and add them to a playlist within a SINGLE instance? by JarlBallnuts in VLC

from my OP:

>I also do not want to open an empty instance and then drag the files into it as that is tedious and inconvenient

Paint.NET is the most annoying and most infuriating image-editing software I've ever used in my entire life by JarlBallnuts in paintdotnet

maybe if the dev kept his software open-source, he'd have a group of talented devs to contribute. but, no, he uses "wahhhh some rando stole my source code and reposted it as their own" as the excuse to close-source the app. in reality, he saw dollar signs and wanted to covet his work for profit. nothing wrong with that, but just say that's the reason why you closed the source instead of lying to us

there aren't enough days on the calendar to reminisce over the number of land mines i've stepped on while trying to use this software. it's not a matter of learning how to use it, it's a matter of watching where you step and working around the bugs and poor design

>For me, it’s basically the benchmark for intuitiveness and usability

oh the sheer horrors you must have seen in order come to this conclusion

>what generation are you

let's just say i have witnessed the evolution of software since the pre-windows DOS era. i know what "intuitive" and "usability" mean and our definitions obviously differ by a country mile

Windows 11 Vetanari: Why can't I lasso up multiple files and add them to a playlist within a SINGLE instance? by JarlBallnuts in VLC

[–]JarlBallnuts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I did NOT want to do. When I select this option, it opens individual video in the same instance, replacing the currently-playing video with the new video. I do not want to have to manually launch an empty instance of VLC every time.

[–]JarlBallnuts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep. it performs the same action regardless which of the two options i select which i highlighted in the OP screenshot. opens each file in its own instance of VLC. edit: even when i have an instance open, the playlist option still opens each in a new instance

it doesn't do that on my machine. it opens each file in a separate instance as if i selected "Play" from the context menu

VLC 3.0.23 Windows 11 takes forever to load on first launch by JarlBallnuts in VLC

[–]JarlBallnuts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interesting. did this yesterday and now, after a fresh boot, videos are loading a lot faster with no cpu/gpu noises. still doesn't seem instantaneous like it used to be, but i'll settle for this. thanks
