Is anyone interested in having GIMP with another name doing the work to make that happen?

Not as a noun, but it’s occasionally used as a verb in the sense of “crippled” or “restricted”.

and even though this has been done (Glimpse) nobody jumps ship to this new, more maturely named alternative that is exactly the same. They stay on GIMP

Well, the Glimpse project didn’t do the boring thing and just rebrand GIMP, they had more ideas and not enough people to work on them so they failed pretty quickly. If a simple rebrand would be used more than the original still remains to be proven, though it not existing might also be taken as indication that the demand for “GIMP with another name” isn’t there.

https://github.com/nullobsi/cantata is an active fork, used by the link above.

music player demon runs in the background and plays music (always remembers its position, and if you reboot while playing music it’ll continue playing automatically when the system is up again), and can be controlled by various clients like Cantata, Euphonica or Plattenalbum (they should all do 2.) and many others. It can output network streams, clients can connect over the network (control the music on your PC from your phone), utility demons to feed your play queue with similar or random songs…

Very versatile, though setup is a bit more complicated than with one simple program.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/redirect-bypasser-webextension/ in desktop Firefox seems to work for your link. For mobile there might be apps that you share the link to and they dissect it, but a very quick search didn’t turn up anything.

you’d have to throw like 20% to 40% of the entire US stockpile of these

Anything for a Nobel peace prize.

Something like https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.jeromerobert.pdfarranger to crop pages might work, or https://flathub.org/apps/net.sourceforge.Pdfedit (old and possibly insecure) for more options.

GNU parallel, to run commands on all cores, and for its filename pattern substitution.

For example: ls *.flac | parallel ffmpeg -i {} {.}.mp3 encodes a directory of FLAC files to MP3. parallel -a <(ls *.flac) -a <(ls *.mp3) --xapply copytags {1} {2} then copies each FLAC file’s metadata to the corresponding MP3 file (which ffmpeg already does, just to illustrate the --xapply option).

edit: copytags is https://github.com/DarwinAwardWinner/copytags if that’s useful for anyone.

Which is why we need laws about human responsibility for decisions made by AI (or software in general).

i was for the most part only heating a single room

Have you made sure that your other rooms are not getting moldy? Cold air can’t carry as much moisture so your walls, furniture, etc. might be getting damper than they should be.

In other words, lack of accountability leads to bad behaviour. He might be onto something there…

So what’s the open source alternative you found? Sounds like it needs more advertising.
