I’ve used GIMP for decades and it’s never crashed on me. Krita and Inkscape are also great imo. I’ve used photoshop. It’s fine. I really think issues with the UI are mostly just an issue of what you’re used to. I see exactly the same thing with people switching to Blender or Vi uses trying to use any otherr editor in the world

Holy sense of entitlement Batman. What as asshole. If it doesn’t work for you, fine, don’t use it. But no need to be a prick about it. Free software doesn’t owe you anything at all.

Bullshit

I don’t need to, i know she that correctly. There are definitely words we pronounce incorrectly but nit that one. You and the OP are conflating your local experience for a global one. I don’t live in the US, we enunciate differenrly

How do you know that no-one enunicates the t sound? I just asked my partner to say hot potato and she definitely does.

I think if I could get xbox game pass running on Linux, I’d be there

It would have been a good option. As is Java. If you want to do it in Go, go ahead.

Oh right, that’s a much less moronic take. Well done genius

That wasn’t a memory safety issue, that was a what the fuck were you thinking design issue. It would have been batshit in any language

Wow. It’s amazing that anyone ever got anything to work in java. Must have never got used for anything

Yeah I agree. Rust is an excellent language when you absolutely must be as safe as possible but don’t want garbage collection. But there is a level of precision required of developers which makes it slower to development in. Other languages like Java, Python and Go are all quicker to develop in. Java is much easier to refactor IMO

BS

If you don’t want to contribute, don’t. Do you think being a hater is helpful?

It’s probably got the best library/tooling ecosystem of any language out there. Certainly dwarfs Rust in that regard. Easier to find devs. Reasonably efficient thou not as much as Rust and typically less memory efficient. It’s a perfectly good suggestion for a project like Lemmy. I’d reach for Java or Go before Rust for a project like this but you know, that’s just me.

I did a lot of Java prior to doing Go. I think they’re both good. I don’t like the Go privacy/scope thing and I genuinely hate it’s error handling but it’s pretty much 90% good pragmatic choices IMO. That said, I still think Java is a fantastic language and it makes a lot of sense for something like Lemmy

Or, bare with me… It’s being a wanker

That’s bullshit, frankly

A year in which the number of Java developers and ecosystem dwarfs that of Rust.

Which is why the fediverse has a culture of respecting different communities needs.

If people have set up communities that work with standards that you don’t like, you don’t have to be part of it. Equally you don’t get to dictate standards for them.
