Minor vent about #FOSS usability...

Some FOSS #software is pretty darned good in some or most respects, but then you run into a sharp edge or missing battery that makes you #facepalm.

The #GIMP, besides the #problematic name, has one such. It is widely lauded for its abilities when #printing images. I don't print much in the way of photography or fine art, so it's not something I personally notice, but a lot of people swear by it.

However, if you search the web for "how to print a large #image over multiple #pages", you will find that the only way to do it is to cut the image up into separate, smaller images, and then each chunk can be printed to a page. You have to basically do this by hand (there's a function that can chop an image into pieces according to your settings, but that's it as far as automation goes), and if you want to fit the resulting pages together, you've got to make sure you preserve the DPI across multiple images, and ensure there's no overlap or missing bits, etc.

There are a *ton* of results for people looking for how to accomplish this, and all the replies are "You can't, do it by hand". Considering how trivial the necessary operations are for a computer, it's a #bizarre #omission.

I guess ebony is #problematic right. I kinda want a heavy-wood bokutō with a bo-hi for suburi at home purposes

life is kinda #problematic if you think about it

Framework computers is #problematic because my laptop is always dead when I don't charge it :/

Is it allowed to call a #lie a lie, or is it just another #opinion? Julia #Klöckner calls for #civility in #parliament, which I find #problematic. Thank you for the inspiration @jbouie @roxanegay in the @NYTimes.

Just did a massive update to the problematic public personalities portion of my personal site to include anyone who either condoned toxicity in response to video game strategies or ignored the toxicity to attack the original poster of a Twitter post.

Beneath the #problematic surface, New York Times’ #Kursk reporting reveals a deeper moral rot

At the end of the day, this is just a very simple question of #moral fiber.

As a flagship Western #media outlet, in a country that has long been the center of the free world – but is now facing a moral crisis of its own – The New York Times has an inherent duty to #document these #historic events with some level of moral grounding.

I hope nobody looks up who ran the German psychiatric association during WWII... lol. I just can't help myself, everyone I read turns out to be #problematic in the end.

I'm trying to correct a longtime gap by finally reading Twain's Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn books, and have to admit—I hate them. Yeah, there's real craft here, and some great storytelling, but OMG it's nonstop n****r n****r n****r and I'm sure Twain was trying to be on the right side of things but it's just relentless. Reminds me how we queer folk are supposed to revere The Boys In The Band, which has a similar problem, but with sad gayness.

Okay, this kid got the correct answer. It was also done how I would have done it. I think the problem was how he wrote it. PEMDAS
5n-16
If n=10 -> (5*10)-16=34
Is 511 a term for this sequence
I would have used y=5n+16

511=5n+16
5n=495
495÷5=99
(5×99)+16=y
y=511

Watch the video and let me know if I did this the way the teacher wanted.

[en] Children's screen time: when is it problematic?

"For those who don’t [have skills to regulate their own use of #technology] ... #problematic #internet use is almost universally a #symptom of an underlying #mental health condition or #neurodivergence, typically #depression, social #anxiety, #autism, or #ADHD ..."

"We see the better analogy as #binge-eating #disorder, which is the most prevalent eating disorder."
