Living Room / Re: How much of the Internet is fake? Turns out, a lot of it
« Last post by rgdot on December 28, 2018, 06:29 PM »
I am real though  :P

On a serious note interesting that you posted

The more clicks and views (fake or not), the more money can be made from advertisers.

I have said for a long (pretty sure on DC too) that one of the biggest problems with the web model is that ad viewing is often not enough (may be video sites like youtube are the only places where views are at least some percentage of income). It works on tv, where payment is made based on views/ratings only, why not on the web. This model encourages fake activity, even on a forum like DC where bots hope to get links indexed AND clicked on.

Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister are great, have watched them all more than once.

Saw this weird movie, it's really out there, odd, etc.

Generally, when the site goes down like that, it's cause mouser has pressed the wrong button on something ;)

Mini-Reviews by Members / Re: Comparative Review of Writers' Tools (INITIAL DRAFT)

True, it is an aspiration and I believe a cut down version is ok, syncing events for example with note taking. For example Resources personally I wouldn't even want an online/sync/cloud anything for it. It is arguable that Messages and Vault can be handled better with a standalone for a smartphone.

General Software Discussion / Re: Consumer Photo/Pic Editing Software - what do you use?
« Last post by rgdot on December 11, 2018, 10:40 PM »
Faststone is faster workflow for me, for example adding text or text bubbles. XnView is something I use less often these days when there is Paint.net for most editing like lasso or similar features and Faststone for things like text as mentioned and image viewing, cropping, resizing. I never understood Irfanview, and this sounds like a very noob thing (I am talking about default behaviour right after install) but the navigation tree to go to a folder and show thumbnails within a folder  ....is not right there in Irfanview when the program opens (press T to bring it up?), I don't understand why that is the case for an image viewer.

I find GIMP extremely over rated, if it wasn't free it would surely be rated much lower. Minus collages which I would say is a more particular 'niche' task a combination of Paint.net, Xnview and Faststone has served me well. Photoscape does a few things well too.

If you are a gmail user and received it marked as spam, be sure to mark it as NOT spam.. maybe if enough do that, gmail will change the way it's classified in the future.

It's very unlikely you will find what you are asking in your last sentence, unless you are talking about mirroring the smartphone screen onto a PC , because otherwise smartphone permissions don't really work that way.

On that topic almost, the new gmail web interface is so bad I will have to move to something else to receive and view* email, it is amazing that I have to be saying this in 2018....

*It's not just the looks of the new gmail but the way message counts are 'outdated' as if they are cached, etc
