You also need to scrub over those files so they cannot be put back together forensically.

Look at the code, though; it doesn’t do any of that.

You can kick off a trim in powershell and erase all the whitespace. https://blog.thomasdamgaard.dk/posts/2022/03/06/trim-filesystem-from-powershell/

You can also do secure delete on files from powershell and HDD free space wipes. https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/how_to_securely_delete_files_in_windows_10.html

That or make some attempt to do a free space wipe, or prune the registry, or, you know any reason whatsoever to actually write it in c++.

It’s probably a sufficient wipe to keep your partner or kids from finding stuff, But it’s not going to stop a state agency. Like they won’t have logs from those services from your IP address. Like your registry isn’t absolutely chocked full of your history and the history of those apps.

Forensic analysis on that drive will net them most of every one of those deleted files.

And frankly of all the things to wipe, wth is up with steam?

Not at all what I said

That’s just a strawman, the same goes for killing or raping people.

The people themselves aren’t entirely compassionless, But bathed in the propaganda, they’re told that the homeless or homeless because they’re bad, awful people. Most of the right-wing world view is designed to embrace greed by turning victims into Boogeyman.

That’s where I want it to be. But I’m worried it’s not

Our government behaves like that because it formally takes bribes.

If you look at the real issues ~60% want homeless fed and to help people back on their feet, healthcare and school to be affordable to everyone.

~40% want all those things, but they only want them for themselves and their families.

We’re at about 60/40 POS.

a wild Styropyro appears

Lets encrypt could run a patreon and stay funded. Plenty of people with money depend on them.

One google image search later…

Also of interest, door 3 has no handle, but maybe an occupied medallion.

the close faucet is casting two shadows, while the far sink is casting one.

The 3 is well to the right fo the door while the 2 is mostly centered.

While not conclusive, these are red flags for AI.

shit, how did i add lemmy on signal???

When CD burners first became affordable, I made mixes.

150 songs. I had a disk that started with pop, moved to metal, back to easy listening and ended with classical.

What does everyone do? Insert mp3-CD and hit shuffle.

Megadeath: Sweating Bullets -> Grieg In the Hall of the Mountain King -> MJ Smooth Criminal

IMO:

They’re gender-neutral. The two and three on the door are so that people can be told which one needs work.

Which ever one has the couches man, we need the couches.

Flawless opsec is a lot, but at least for now, it’s not how they are finding people.

It’s tips and borders at the moment. If it becomes police action as well you just have to make sure you’re not noticed by the police.

We’re probably not all that far off of papers please.

I agree to disagree, have a good one.

To gently disagree with you here: UI/UX work is absolutely not art,

UI without art is just a bunch of shitty buttons no one wants to press. Come to think of it, that’s one of the problems with Gimp. There is a UI, it’s just not a good one.

UX is arguably design. But most design departments would place UX as a mixed discipline.

scientific evidence as to how people see, perceive, and interact with things around them.

You’re describing Usability. This is, in fact, its own discipline that should direct both UX and UI.

The problem of poor UX in FLOSS can’t be attributed to a lack of talent; the fact is that FLOSS projects are not hospitable environments for designers, both technically and culturally.

That’s just saying it’s a lack of talent because FOSS teams are inhospitable. Blanket statements like that ring as a stereotype.

their expertise is often treated as a difference of creative opinion by developers who know nothing about basic design principles

The consumers of the product know nothing about basic design principles either. Does their opinion not matter either?

If FLOSS devs want usable interfaces (and I’m not convinced many of them do) this is the problem that needs to be solved.

So, forgive me if I’m reading too much between the lines, but what you’re saying here is if FLOSS wants better UI, they need to engage someone who says they’re an accomplished UI artist and blindly execute their vision even against their own impressions of the requested work?

Maybe there are reasons the FLOSS devs don’t want to sign up for that?

Off-Canvas Editing Paint tools can now automatically expand the width and height of a layer as you draw! You can select “Expand Layers” in the tool options to enable drawing past the current boundaries of layers.

More features such as guides and auto-expanding layers can be used to work in the off-canvas space!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Nothing is intuitive in that software.

UI/UX is a very very difficult job. I’ve only ever known a few UI/UX artists that were any good, and OMFG, are they expensive.

You can’t just drop everything and focus on something where you don’t have domain experts. Not to presume too much about you, but that would be like saying you need to drop everything you’re doing and focus on brain surgery next year. UI/UX is art. It’s a very specific type of art that, unfortunately, doesn’t come easy for people. There are companies for hire that work professionally on UX/UI, but they’re not cheap either. Anyone can spot bad UX, but knowing how to fix it in a way that works for everyone, that’s nearly a unicorn.

I’ve been using gimp since it was released for daily driver projects.

I’ve been using Photoshop for about a decade when required for gigs.

I can get around either app pretty decently at this point.

If you drop any new user into either, they’ll be absolutely lost.

If you drop a seasoned Photoshop user into GIMP, they’ll not only be lost but be unable to use their vast array of plugins and macros and aren’t quite (but non-technically are) impossible for the average user to work on.

We can’t make Gimp Photoshop-like. We can make strides to improve Gimp, but it’s beyond reach for the current team. Maybe we can start a crowdfund to get a UX company to take a stab at it, but even at that we’d need buy in from the developers and it would likely be an incredibly large rework, not unlike the current one that took quite a long time.

Communism isn’t bad, it just crumples as soon you put anything but saints in charge of it.

I’m not entirely sure anything works better in a long-term scenario though :)
