KolourPaint is very close to an exact clone of MS Paint from around Windows XP.

There are also xpaint and Pinta, which are somewhat different, but might satisfy your requirements too.

Not what I want to happen though.

I want them to release Windows as free and open source software. Windows is on a purely technical level not a bad OS. If it were FOSS, we would get dozens of excellent distributions of it.

The new platform, W, will require identification and photo validation to ensure that its users are both humans and who they claim to be

apparently we are now supposed to think that that is a good thing, huh

This is probably supposed to be a link to this: https://torrentfreak.com/nvidia-contacted-annas-archive-to-secure-access-to-millions-of-pirated-books/

There are a few communities where that link was posted correctly: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/53133358

now that is truly idiotic

I don’t mind apps drawing their own titlebars if they have a real use for it (I’m typing this comment in a Firefox window where the titlebar has the tab bar in it), but not having any window-manager-level title bar as a fallback at all and requiring apps to do that themselves?! Window managers everywhere else have been doing this since what, the 1984 Apple Macintosh?

What now? GNOME doesn’t support server-side decorations? It’s been years since I last used GNOME, so I may be out of touch; but if this is true, what happens if you do run something on GNOME that simply doesn’t have any code that draws its own titlebars? Or am I misunderstanding how any of this works?

I sometimes do that too, but as it’s not a thing on Windows (which I’m forced to use at work), it’s not my default habit.

People who live on other continents can read this thread too you know

Not a new debate at all… https://xkcd.com/1914/ and the context for that was https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/twitter-suspends-verifying-accounts-giving-154625015.html

I agree that if “verification” is going to be a thing, it should only mean the person or organization is who they claim to be, not imply endorsement of any of their activities.

How big are the “downloaded maps”?

JOSM can do fairly complex queries with its search feature, maybe that satisfies your needs; but if you’re dealing with very large areas, they might overwhelm JOSM and not load in it.

ETA: of course “downloaded maps”, if you mean .osm files, are just XML files, so it’s completely trivial to write simple scripts to search through them oneself

I wonder if you can run Double Commander on ReactOS. I use it on Windows and it seems not to have this “usability issue”, apart from being very convenient in other ways too…

This is from 2021, why post this now…?

not what the article seems to be about?

commission fined the carriers for selling customer location data without their users’ consent

At least that way we’ll be able to tell when things are AI-generated.

of course, most of school was bullshit long before AI, so what

I remember reading that the first two don’t allow free discussion about Zionism (one bans a lot of anti-Zionist speech, the other has an explicit rule against all Zionism), so I avoid posting there; I think communities that aren’t specifically ideological should allow a wide range of free speech. The third one is AFAICT better, so are !europa@lemmy.world and !europe@sopuli.xyz.

There is also !EuropeanUnion@europe.pub for things that have to do with the European Union, which is somewhat different from the continent of Europe. The community this thread is about isn’t explicit whether it is about Europe or the EU.

I subscribed to the new community this thread is about; but then again, your comment does kinda make me think that there are already communities like !freesoftware@lemmy.zip or !libreculture@lemmy.ca or !right2repair@discuss.tchncs.de which should cover a lot of the topics that may be discussed there. Let’s see whether anything unique ends up actually talked about there. :P

That’s not what I asked. I asked about a comparison of both of them to PostgreSQL.

Are there real advantages to using either MySQL or MariaDB instead of PostgreSQL?
