I'm going to pin this for a little while just because it's a damn thorough read with good content.

I'm not affiliated with the creator in any way, just thought it was worth the extra attention that pinning it may bring.

If it's so haunting and traumatizing, they shouldn't have starred in a porn movie, shouldn't they? Whatever happened to personal responsibility for ones action?

Since Gimp 2.8 the software refuses to let you open a jpg and save it as jpg. You have to use export instead and jump through some hoops. If you try to save, Gimp tells you no can do. In a really condescending way, too. Pissed me off so much the first time, I immediately rolled it back. Since then I've tried a few more times, but this weird workflow of opening jpgs and having to export them doesn't work for me.

It's an image editor as far as I'm concerned. It's supposed to edit images. Not create elaborate projects worth saving. I open, I edit, I save (to jpg) and I'm done. The stupid export thing will also sometimes keep a useless xfc file. Really aggravating. Like you're not supposed to use the thing as an image editor. Devs have also been extremely conceited when it was pointed out to them how stupid this change was and basically told everyone raising concerns they should use something else. Therefore, this project is pretty much dead to me.

Heh,.. I never forgave them for the "I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you save as *jpg" bullshit, so I stuck with 2.6 and will continue to do so. Possibly I'm completely moving over to ImageMagick, though. Already use it for most of my image editing.

Thanks!

Still no go in Thunderbird with setting up the proxy. I'll dig into it more, because I think that's the ticket. The TorBirdy plugin is outdated and has been for a while, which is what seems to be used previously. I may boot up in Tails or something similar to see if the issue persists.

no, the blockchain is opaque

it's recommended to split purchases into dedicated stealth addresses, and I'd personally do:

buy XMR -> withdraw to stealth address of wallet #1 -> move to stealth address of wallent #2 -> spend

"But I've forked the codebase, hopefully there will be enough use of this site to warrant some custom development for features that this community wants." unrelated to this discussion i would love to hear more about this. might be worth a new post.

Basically, I'm not a developer. I have a lot of random skills but I'm not a 'master' at any of them. I've been hosting websites in some capacity for almost 20 years, however. You'd think in that time I'd have graduated past some basic php/python/bash scripting, but nope. :)

In the future I'd like to get some custom development done to implement some of the features some of you have requested. The only reason I'm not pushing that hard right now is because I want to see if the site continues to grow, as it's only been two weeks since it's launch, and because I'm unemployed and simply can't afford to offer anything in return for custom development at this time. (But hoping that will change in the future, as I continue to look for local work). Hosting is covered however, as it's 'cheap' in comparison to that of custom dev work.
