This is just wrong. I love foss and the effort put into gimp, but there are so many little ux things that it gets wrong.

The big one for me is non destructive resizing of pasted objects. Photoshop puts the little drag handles on them allowing for resizing, the top middle one allows you to rotate, holding the shift key locks proportions etc, all right away after pasting.

On gimp you can open a menu and specify the height and width, or you can click shift + s, which kind of works like Photoshops but is somehow clunkier & destructive when shrinking.

I also really miss smart objects and the universal tool options menu (not sure what it's called but it lives on the top of the canvas on PS and gives you all the relevant options for whatever tool you are using. I'm sure gimp has an equivalent but out of the box I find it much more correct and confusing.

Libertinus Serif is my current favorite. I generally like most garamond-likes for most books, but will dabble in a sans if the book is suitably scifi. Older favorites of mine are Adobe Caslon Pro and Adobe Devanagari. Baumschrift is a fantastic clean sans font but honestly it shines best on larger sizes for headers rather than prose. If we are doing monospace I love IBM Plex Mono in the light variety.

Yea the damn start menu is an electron app now. Ffs where did we go wrong?

Not sure about jitters but it's worth mentioning that movies are shot at 23.976 fps, not 24. If you're looking at the fps counter it will occasionally say 23 depending on how it's encoded. Personally I use mpc-hc + mad vr, but I think hc isn't being developed anymore. My setup automatically sets the refresh rate of the display out to match the file. Or at least that's how it was setup a while back. Now I just use native plex apps which do the frame rate thing automatically.

Nice!

Pretty slick. Personally I'm a long time user of Renshuu. I wish there was an app that took the various study vectors there and mixed them with the lessons automatically and presented me with a single 'feed' of learning content. Also, for spaced repetition learning it would be very helpful if we could do more distinction between the kinds of mistakes people make to adjust the next time you see it.
Missing the same word five times in a row is different than confusing it with a similar sounding word, which is different than missing it once and getting it right every time after in a single session.

Custom formatting and forcing 24h time (native defaults to locale) are two things that native falls short on.. I wish we could just use native elements.

Same issue with maybe six kobos over my life so the stats aren't complete but here's where I am currently: Also missing quite a few hours of audiobooks on Libby!

Ok, for LA style Mexican food - Chuy's is fantastic. Their shrimp tacos and flautas are killer. Across the street, Jasmine is an excellent Syrian restaurant. My favorite Mediterranean place for stuff like gyros etc is Mediterranean Kebab House. Anything hotdog related, just got to Dogtown. Cheap, delicious, what more can I say. For sushi, Shiki is excellent and also has some killer curry. Very authentic, has kind of an izakaya vibe. For normal pizza Mr Shoes is pretty good. Pizza Wizard is killer but a little more expensive but a better place to pickup a single slice. If you like Korean, Sodam is great, but I'd do pickup. The dolsot-bibimbop is my favorite but their soups are great too especially when you're sick. For the garbage plate, I think the Genesee Brew house is the best. Get a plate, go to the roof to look at the falls, get a free tour of their micro brewery. Pretty iconic. If you are looking for something more upscale, Park Ave has some good options. I'm partial to Roux and Dorado. If you like arcade machines/pinball you have to check out Swillburger. They have a basic burger shack kind of menu but it's delicious! Don't get me started on coffee shops.

My favorite traditional one is at the Genesee Brew house. Chick Magnet has a pretty funky chicken based on that's good too.
