Oh, I know this one! Make sure you're using pipewire and use HDAJackRetask. You can reassign the ports to whatever, you can even swap mic and headphone if you want.

Something that annoys me about people who love to harp on about how bad Mozilla is because they've gone downhill (which they have): Who is better? Genuinely compare them to their competition. Google? Heck no. Brave? Nope. Microsoft? Absolutely not. Apple? No. People complain about how much Mozilla spends on advocacy, but then when they actually do the advocacy, they're happy about it! They're perpetually stuck between a rock and a hard place because they're pulled in both directions and thus, Firefox suffers. But, are they actually a broken clock? Really?

I guess to be a little clearer: If you compare Mozilla to their past selves, they lose. If you compare Mozilla to anyone else in that space with the resources to develop a browser, they're still the best of the bunch by a country mile.

This is literally on the road map for GIMP, right up top. (Status: no just means it hasn't been started yet and isn't planned for 3.2, not that it isn't planned) https://developer.gimp.org/core/roadmap/

Either windows' or windows's is correct, actually. The reason is because of exactly words like "Windows", if you use the former, it sounds like it's a possessive of more than one window, but it's a possessive of a proper noun, Windows. The latter is more correct in this case because of that. (it's also pronounced that way!)

Yup. All of that is true. It also protects you from yourself by preventing you from making changes outside of the home directory so you can't hose your system accidentally. It's intentional.

I was thinking not only about the finicky drivers, but also the different audio backends, like ALSA and OSS, Pulse would have just come out at the time, so it was definitely getting better, but it was fresh off the presses back then, so it wasn't good enough yet either. Nowadays, Pulse works pretty well, pipewire works pretty well, things more or less just work, Bluetooth can be a little weird, but usually you just need to change the settings on pulse/pipewire to your preference.

Audio and networking were a shitshow back then, nowadays almost everything just works on those two fronts. Also, having to edit your Xorg.conf is not what I'd call user friendly...

Check rocm's supported cards, oh and after you install rocm, restart your computer - made that mistake when I was doing it and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.

The Firefox browser logo still has the red panda, you're thinking of the Firefox family logo, for stuff like Firefox send and their VPN. The browser never got rid of the red panda since it was added.

Your M.2 port can probably fit an M.2 to PCIe adapter and you can use a GPU with that - ollama supports AMD GPUs just fine nowadays (well, as well as it can, rocm is still very hit or miss)

That is for a circle that's not filled in, that's what the outline operation does.

Yup, circle select, menu bar, select->outline, select your thickness, then use the paint bucket.

This is what people mean when they say GIMP can do the same stuff, the process is just totally different.
