This was already common practice to promote other shows during broadcasts way back when I last watched broadcast TV over a decade and a half ago.

I just flipped through the introduction of a GIMP book that the authors hoped 3.0 would be out so they could cover it but ultimately based the book on 2.6 due to delays. It’s copyright 2012, apparently something (didn’t) happen.

On my RTX 3080 laptop I get a significantly lower frame rate on my laptop screen (240hz) and 4k external monitor (144hz) when using Wayland. Wayland has come a long way but I’m still going to be using X11 for at least the near future.

Apple: what’s wrong with just 8GB RAM?

Enshittification has come to Amazon Prime too. Lots of people report that two-day shipping is flaky, Prime Video is very limited in its basic tier, the deals are a joke. If you spend more than $25 you get free shipping so what exactly are you getting with Prime besides it coming a day earlier?

Not too surprising that they are relying on those tricks to get people back on it. There are no real deals on there, anything interesting to watch is always an upsell and the two-day shipping has been flaky. I canceled because I wasn’t sure I was getting any value out of it anymore and it was just causing me to spend more money with them.
