The one to buy is Affinity Photo if you can't afford Photoshop+Lightroom. For design, Xara Photo and Graphics editor.
Paint.net is just a toy.
Minor nitpick.. Affinity Photos is a Photoshop replacement, not a Lightroom replacement. While Lightroom has a subset of Photoshop editing tools, it also has Digital Asset Management tools, something that Photoshop and Affinity Photo don't really have (Although Affinity keeps dropping hints that they'll have DAM tools sometime)
And while I can't vouch for it Affinity's Designer looks pretty spiffy for design work.
Why would I prefer to download and install this over GIMP?
Just askin
I can't tell you what you prefer. But I can point you at a comparison site so you can make your own decision (the Paint.Net vs Gimp is about 2/3 of the way down)
So, even ignoring the sound quality and Yet Another Thing To Charge arguments, the PS/2 comparison falls flat.
The point is that times change in ways that are out of our control. I think I still have some 8" floppies around, but all modern computers seemed to have ditched 3 1/2" floppies now days.
I'm not going to defend bluetooth. It sucks in some areas but excels in others.
As for adapter cost, when flagship phones are t the $1k mark, I find bitching about the price of adapters a bit incongruous.
And I'd suspect that for 90% of people your multiple-connector head phone cable is a special case - just like the PS/2 connector is nowadays.
And even included an adapter to allow other, standard headphones to plug into the same port.
Now that's cynical/s
the "standard" requires an adapter? who is fooling who?
So when was the last time that you used a keyboard with a PS/2 connector? That was really cynical of PC manufacturers getting rid of PS/2 ports, forcing me to buy brand new USB keyboards. And don't get me started on those adapters that they forced on me when I had to use the AT style keyboard connectors with PS/2 ports.
Because removing the headphone jack was a cynical move by phone manufacturers to upsell you a pair of bluetooth headphones. There is virtually no benefit to the consumer of such a move.
So cynical that the company I bought my headphone jack-less phone from included a pair of earbuds that plug directly into the remaining port on the phone. And even included an adapter to allow other, standard headphones to plug into the same port.
You're kidding right? Is there supposed to be a/s there? I clicked that linked, those tiny things do not look like SUVs. They look like sedans that had an awkward growth spurt.
Hav you been car shopping recently? The G3 looks like every other manufacturers soft SUV/cross-over.
Debian's anti-harassment and sugarland fairy team removed the number 8008. This number is just juvenile and inappropriate in corporate environments. This will not affect the size of objects in anyway as infinity will not be affected and calculators will refuse to allow the number to be punched in.
Ha!.. I can still get my thrills from viewing 58008 upside down on my calculator. Take that sugarland fairy team!
Recently (as in the last 4-6 weeks) I have heard ads on AM radio *cough*Beck*cough* spruiking Bitcoin and how it was going to go through the roof by the end of the year, and that you need to order this special report to tell you all about it.
5. One of the nice little improvements here is the ability to package your own version of Windows Forms with your app, instead of relying on whatever is installed with the system..NET Core doesn't (currently) support static linking so it'll still have to exist as a DLL file beside the EXE.
I'm curious about why you would want to do this. Windows Forms has been around for such a long time I would have thought that the technology would be considered a stable standard by now. Or is the intention to package it up for non-windows platforms?
1. The Windows and Mac versions of Visual Studio 2019 are completely separate products built from different code bases. They share compilers and.NET Core stuff, and a lot of work is going into making the editors feel the same. But you can't actually use Visual Studio for Mac to work on classic Win32 /.NET Framework applications.
Doe this mean that I can now build an C#/Xamarin iOS/Android/MS app on OS X using VS for OS X, instead of writing in Windows and still requiring an OS X box for submission?
You're asking for the President of the United States to be assassinated. Given that there are a number of constitutional and legal means to dump him, I think that would be a low - although not a new one.
There's Trump quote for every occasion. Back in 2016 he said this about Hillary
“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”
The article says the mistakenly-accused CEO's company later thanked the traffic police for their hard work, and "called on people to obey traffic rules to keep the streets safe."
Cause your going to publicly chew out petty public officials for their half arse algorithms in China, are you? We've all been worried about 1984, when we should have been worried about Brazil.
Brazil? Hell no, China's going full on Black Mirror
For me it's usually because I'm working on something specific so I'll have maybe a dozen tabs related to that project that I flip through. Then I get another project but I don't want to lose my place with the previous project so now there are a dozen more tabs. Then another thing comes up that I have to work on, dozen more tabs.
Is your work web-centric, or is it just that all of your reference materials are web-centric? (FWIW I work with actual desktop programs with very little web related work flows - only when I need to look up a specific vendors product from time to time etc)
But it seems like you have a set of well defined tabs for each project that you work on. So why can't you just do on a per project basis "save bookmarks to all open tabs", close them down and do an "Open all bookmarks to new tabs" when you need them again type action? I use Safari and it has this functionality built in.
And what happens when your computer/browser/whatever crashes and burns? How do you easily recover if you don't have the bookmarks to the tabs all neatly stored away? Manually opening 100's of tabs would suck big time.
Why do people have hundreds of open tabs at a time? I honestly can't imagine the use case for this.
Sure I have a large collection of bookmarks, but at most I only have a handful of tabs open at any time (any more and its because I didn't close a tab after I finished using it) and I know I cannot focus on more than a couple of things at a time.
Should I just be yelling at clouds and telling the kids to keep off my lawn?
SLS is never going to fly more than once. They might do a single test flight just to "prove" the money wasn't wasted, but no, the money was wasted.
The acronym has not been called the "Senate Launch System" for nothing. The amount of pork it has generate has been propping up many a senator - and for that reason the money spent on the SLS has not been wasted.

In a way it is, because I'm guessing the earbuds are not high quality.
LOL you're bitching about not having high quality ear buds used to listen to MP3's?
And even included an adapter to allow other, standard headphones to plug into the same port.

And an editor who just won't edit. All of you, back to editor school. Off you go.
You're making the fatal assumption that they went to editor school in the first place.
I am more of a master/slave guy. Let's re-name all computing history to appease a few idiots
You're a bit late to the party for that one.

On the other hand can we please slow down with the Visual Studio updates. Do we really need a new version every two years?
Pro-tip .. you don't have to upgrade to a new version of VS when it comes out, unless .. gasp .. you want to use the new features or fixes

I loved how he always did a cameo in every Marvel movie.
Not trying to rain on the parade of commemorating the passing of Stan Lee, but he did not appear in every Marvel movie. See Which Marvel movies have NOT included Stan Lee cameos, and why?
That link lists at least 17 Marvel movies he didn't have a cameo in.
