Nuclear fuel floating around seems like the perfect thing to put into the hands of corporations looking to save money.

I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp. in c/[email protected]

This seems to be the plan. It's the third result for 'photoshop vs gimp' on DDG.

How do you find a recruiter without LinkedIn?

Sorry I don't really have any more detail. I read this blurb about a book on either reddit or goodreads. Something about humanity discovering interstellar travel or something major like that and aliens sending a message warning humanity to stop, or else. At least that's what I remember. Any help would be appreciated. Been searching for a couple of hours and have had no luck.

DisplayPort to Hdmi vs DisplayPort to Dvi? (lemmy.world)
 

Hey folks, I've got two 1920x1080 monitors that are connected to my PC (with a 1070TI) via DP->HDMI cables. I've recently purchased a Dock (DELL wd22tb4) for my work laptop and want to use the same monitors. My monitors have hdmi and dvi inputs (let's ignore the vga).

Since the dock has DP outputs as well, I can either get a pair of DP->DVI cables and connect the dock via them or I can swap them with the current hdmi ones (so the dock gets hdmi and the pc gets dvi).

Would either approach be better? I use the pc for occasional gaming, but 1920@60hz is my cap (until a very expensive pc upgrade), so I don't need anything more for the near future.

I disagree. Valve has no shortage of money, and would only end up burning goodwill by putting out a subpar product. From their perspective, it's better to have a loyal, if rabid, fan base rather than the backlash a bad product would generate.

Wow, this is such shit. The request itself is so overly broad, it's a shame that google chose (or was forced) to honor it. I see the following listed in the request:

10. addons.mozilla.org
15. www.microsoft.com
16. play.google.com
40. en.wikipedia.org
45. chrome.google.com
58. www.trustpilot

And how can we be sure that all the instances federated with any instance we participate on aren't run by law enforcement themselves? I'd be surprised if there aren't running instances by every major investigative agency themselves.
