The G isn’t silent but there is definitively no vowel between G and N.

So baffling so many of you cannot pronounce Gn with a non-silent G (or Kn with a non-silent K). Both Gnome and GNU are pronounced almost like the equivalent German words:

But I never try to install slowroll on my steamdeck, how are performance ? Are you starting with steam big picture or KDE desktop sddm ?

Neither. As Distrobox container for command line tools. It requires a bit of jumping through hoops because I had to crossgrade Leap to Slowroll using opensuse-migration-tool.

It’s really no energy at all to just install Krita or Gimp to crop 5 images.

I did suggest many things, from how to crop in Krita, using ImageMagick, that Gimp is fully capable of cropping (OP refused to use Gimp for that task because it’s “shit” in his eyes), how to look up open source alternatives on GitHub (I found a bunch, including a python GUI application running locally), etc.

OP made a many BS claims, by insisting that he needs batch processing but when suggesting to self host, he refuses this by saying that he’s only cropping 5 images.

The completely insane claim was “The only infrastructure I’m using is the bit of Javascript and HTML”, meaning one could just save the page and run it fully locally.

This is of course BS.

You claimed that I was uploading and batch-processing images on the developers’ infrastructure.

“Um, achtually I crop images only locally and loading up Photopea in the first place doesn’t count towards freeloading other people’s work.🤓”

there are definitely problems.

Of course there are but the claim was that Lichtmetzger only needs to crop a bunch of images and Gimp is 100% capable of that and I say that as someone who can’t stand Gimp any longer and moved to Krita and others.

Keep trolling

At least I’m not playing the victim when actually freeloading other people’s work and resources.

which is what woelkchen doesn’t seem to grasp

*whoosh*

I fully grasp it, I was just pointing out how insane your claim is that you don’t use their server resources by making an equally insane counter point.

That’s why all of the accusations that I’m freeloading and straining the developers’ server from batch-processing images are unfunded.

Yes, exactly this insane claim.

Today I’ve learned that cropping five images in a row is “commercial-grade”. Sure…

Today I’ve learned that you cannot use Krita to crop manually because you’re cropping waaay to many images and absolutely need batch processing but you also cannot self-host anything because “it’s only 5 images, man”.

Self-hosting is a good idea, though, if I can find some useful software in that field.

• *types bulk image crop site:github.com into search engine*
• *finds a bunch*

Huh…

I’m on Tumbleweed myself, just a user and I’m happy here.

Yes, it’s fantastic. Highly underrated. I’ve installed Slowroll on my Steam Deck’s Distrobox yesterday. Interested to check out this conservative variant for a while.

Sir, this is not how the internet works.

Indeed it’s not. That’s why your claim that you can use Photopea without using their resources is BS.

Photopea does not use the developers’ server to do these tasks

Well, it uses the servers to do something and you refuse any compensation.

If I disassembled the obfuscated code and replaced those online references, I’m pretty sure the whole thing would just work.

Then do and host your own version.

I am not paying another high subscription (yes, 96€/year is high for some people) for a tool that processes images locally, no.

Then self-host a tool you need for your commercial-grade tasks.

As I’ve said in another thread, you can open up the site, disconnect your internet and process all of the images just fine. All of that code runs in your own browser.

Then disconnect your internet when ads load. Or save the page if “All of that code runs in your own browser.”

I have the same problem with CachyOS as I have with Manjaro: holding packages. I’ve been fcked up by aur

If there is no proper version check for dependencies, it’s a packaging bug.

That said, people have different priorities. I was mentioning the users that cannot herd their flock of installed Arch packages any longer and need something less involved.

CachyOS seems it might have same problem.

Maybe. As you might have inferred from my reply, I’m not a CachyOS user myself. I’m a packager of software for openSUSE (not a contributor to the distribution, just in my own home repo), so I can spot the occasional packaging bug. There’s a bunch of Arch-derived distributions targeting more casual home users (KDE Linux is probably the biggest upcoming one, currently in alpha). Not all support AUR in the first place, though.

Ubuntu is dying?

Yes. Not a hard crash but a constant downward spiral since a few years.

When do the updates end?

When businesses realized that moving to distribution that focuses more on pushing garbage like Snap over good maintenance was a mistake (remember that only the small of software in the main repository is actually maintained by Canonical, some stuff in universe is community-maintained but the majority isn’t because backporting cherry picked bug fixes is tedious work for unpaid volunteers). This will take some time but home users are moving away from Ubuntu and the trend will trickle down at some point.

The only infrastructure I’m using is the bit of Javascript and HTML

If Photopea was so simple, you could just download the necessary parts and self-host.

This won’t work because there is actual server-side code running, meaning you’re hogging someone else’s resources to do your commercial-grade tasks.

cant

…

I am mildly infuriated.

Calm down.

I need a visual representation before cropping

Then pay. You’re using a commercial service to do commercial-grade tasks. Stop to dodge compensation.

I am not financially supporting developers who act like this.

You were not financially supporting the developers before either. You admitted that you do frequent batch processing of many images on their infrastructure. If anything, losing you as a user is saving them money.
