It’s still doing better than Krita - which I had to bail on because its levels tool doesn’t support setting the white point.

This is a consequence of your actions, is that not clear to you?
Something that supposedly doesn’t bother you causes this reaction? That’s hilarious.
You were needlessly unpleasant to me, I’m merely returning the favour.
Sneer all you like, one of the things I do is fix technical specs for a living. Being a pedantic nerd literally pays my bills.
The entire world? What are you on?
Most people haven’t messed about with writeable media in a decade. The only people still talking about this stuff are pedantic nerds. You’re on Lemmy, for gods’ sakes, and you’re expecting something other than pedantic nerds.
Someone gave me some advice recently, perhaps you could also benefit from it: grow up.
If you’re going to use technical jargon, use the correct jargon. Either that or get back to your job in middle-management, synergising the whatever meaningless buzzwords.
I’ve literally never heard anyone use “burn” to refer to extracting data. This thread feels like someone trying to gaslight me.
Half-Life is definitely not older than home CD burners. Now if you’ll excuse me, there’s some damn kids on my lawn again.
It’s another example of how related words are misused to provide another example. The author of the article decided to use a word they clearly didn’t understand. Are you trying to pull some reverse pedantry shit?
I disagree. I think they’re dying because big publishers have become so risk averse. It takes forever for a game to be finished and when it’s done it’s usually forgettable slop, with a few exceptions. PC gaming allows for different tiers of games to be developed more easily so there’s more variety.
It’s the difference between “I borrowed some money” and “I loaned someone money”. They mean different things, including people occasionally creating awful sentences like “I borrowed him some money” (shudder).
Burning is writing a disc. Ripping is extracting data from a disc. Whoever wrote the article used lingo they don’t understand.
Wonkers, that’s… sad.
(I love the whole series)
Is there a version of this that wasn’t awkwardly resized?
They lost me when they moved to algorithmically-driven rather than chronological. The notion that a feature like this has to be added is mad.
Do not connect this device to the internet, no matter how much it begs.
