I'm getting confused reading your first sentence based on the rest of your comment; should homelab and laptop be swapped?

I don't think so (but I am a bit tired today, so maybe something I wrote makes no sense :)).

Homelab is physically connected to the router whereas the laptop is connected via Wifi. It was the cable from the Wifi AP to the router that was dodgy which caused the issue.

I noticed because the laptop would never reach 'true' 100Mbit download speeds whereas the homelab did.

I am very grateful for GIMP, but I hope that the UX can be improved. It gets the job done, but it always feels a bit janky to me. Wish it felt more professional like Photoshop.

I didn't think this sort of polish was possible for a free program, but after seeing MuseScore and Blender, it gives me hope that it could happen.

I know how entitled I sound asking for this ;)

I’ve been using Krita for a year or so now. At first I found the UI very confusing, but after learning the top bar is just as important as the side bar it really works.

YouTube videos of pros using it will blow your mind. It’s really powerful.

Krita is really very impressive.

I am that kind of decades-long hosted-linux-from-a-Mac-desktop user who checks out desktop linux every six months or so to see if the daily driver situation is ready.

I edit quite a lot of photos and even though Darktable is a mess, I could use it and it's not the only option. I edit vector graphics and I think Inkscape is fine. I like FreeCAD. All of my coding tools appear to run in Electron, etc. etc.

But GIMP isn't an option. It's not even close to being what basic quick correct photo editing needs in terms of a workflow. And I'm simply never going to change what is not really a particularly deep or exotic workflow to fit it.

Krita is _sooooo_ close, and it's not even trying to be a photo editor first and foremost.

Appreciate the recommendation, thank you!

Photoshop UI is janky and unintutive, it is only that people have got used to it.

I love these. My favourite part is that you can hear the fundamental frequency when you add up the non-octave frequencies (i.e. increase all harmonics except 1, 2, 4 and 8). Even though the fundamental frequency isn't "there", your ears can still hear it.

I had the same issue with the Google Assistant/AnyList integration, and I hacked together a pair of Lambda functions to move Keep list items to an AnyList list. Both unofficial APIs ;)

If anybody's curious, repo with most of the code is here: https://github.com/csimpf/keep2anylist. Happy to answer any questions about it!

I use this workflow on my Mac all the time and don't remember having to change this setting. Could it be because I don't have iCloud set up?

It seems like it is related to iCloud settings, as mentioned in another comment.

On my PC, the built-in Windows snipping tool has Text Actions which should do the job too:

The title of this is quite editorialised, I'd suggest changing it to something less so as per the guidelines.

As a fairly casual user, I absolutely love Musescore. Still takes a bit of getting used to entering notes if I haven't used it for a while, but I am amazed that there is a free app for sheet music notation, where I would normally be locked into a paid option. The choice to upload to the cloud and play in browser is awesome for sharing. Can't wait to see more updates :)

Eh, in my experience, I generally disagree. Why wait for an email response when you can get an answer then and there? Also, outside of online retail shopping, I've found live chat very useful.

Sure, get rid of the intrusive popups and chatbots which don't help. But keep the live chat. It's valuable to the customer.

How can I tell whether it's a human I'll be talking to or a bot? I've had enough of my time wasted that I'm no longer prepared to bother.

Fortunately we’re getting more bots so you’re much less likely to waste your time with a human these days.

In my experience the realtime chat agents appear pressured to clear issues immediately at the expense of correctness. Sending an async message gives the respondent time to research things or ask for help instead of making up answers on the fly.

I was able to get better performance by increasing the FPS to 120 in Options -> Graphics
