I see no ads on my Firefox with ublock and privacybadger ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


It's implemented in affinity photo. You get realtime feedback- it's pretty amazing.


OK cool, but the commonly used Photoshop's content aware fill, which they supposedly target, isn't even using any ML. They don't know what they're doing or what? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PatchMatch


Do you have many shell extensions installed? Try disabling some items on the context menu.


The lack of vertical taskbar is so mind bogglingly stupid, I don't know what to say.


Jokes on them for using bottom taskbar on 32:9. It looks absurd.. I really wonder what is the reasoning behind this. They had pretty good taskbar structure and now it's scrapped..


What? If that's true, they've gone completely insane. I know non 16:9 panels have been making a resurgence but most panels will be portrait for a while.

Besides, windows has had the best vertical taskbar implementation from all DEs since 95.


It seems to be true. It's mentioned in the article and one of the things Insiders with hardware that supports 11 are currently complaining about. The new taskbar can't be moved to any other position than the bottom for the first time since Windows 95. As a right side taskbar user since before even the age of 16:9 panels but who especially appreciates vertical taskbars in the age of 21:9+ ultrawides, everything about this loss of such an old feature boggles my mind (and makes me angry).


That's a compressor/limiter. A simple feature that for some reason no one seems to ever implement in any consumer app/player/device. There may be some android apps for that on XDA and for rooted phones only.


Those who have Wacom tablets or Apple pencils, does it react to pressure sensitivity?


there is a Open issue from 2017 about pressure sensitivity [1] but seems like the author does not plan to actively maintain the project.

Honestly I'll play around a little to see if can quickly add that functionality.

EDIT: Just made a quick and dirty pull request, a live version here: https://brushpaint.pages.dev/ Now If someone puts more time into this they could: Add support for tilted pens (Change bristle direction based on tilt, my pen doesn't support tilt.) Also the scaling is linear, which is probably not perfect.


I'm using a Wacom cth-470. The pen works on chrome but not on Firefox. Unfortunately there's no pressure sensitivity as far as I can tell.


I asked this once, and people told me it had something to do with firefox being a PITA to compile, among other things


That's UHD. 4K is defined as 4096px wide. But I guess the mass adoption of the term 4K in consumer electronics changed the definition.


That's DCI 4K.

Two groups have competing definitions. One isn't inherently correct.

I say this as someone who was "that guy" when it came to HD Radio: "It's not High Definition, it's Hybrid Digital!" even though that's exactly the confusion they were trying to encourage.

Arguing that this is misleading is a fool's errand, and only plays into things if you assume that the primary purpose of a "4K" screen somehow is inherently "to play back cinematic content", which... it's not.


I spent 6 months learning about monitors before buying one for graphic design and the tldr version is: you buy from NEC or EIZO. The panel is one thing, but what sets them apart from the other ones are the electronics inside that drive the panel. And QC, the commodity brands tend to be very hit or miss.
