Adjustment layers are a key part of a non-destructive editing workflow. Without them, doing professional work like retouching is much more difficult. GIMP's issue is that they don't seem to care about power user workflows.

Photopea's killer feature is the fact that it, for the most part, directly copies Photoshop's implementations of features. There's no learning curve because it's basically the same. On the other hand, GIMP still does

That kind of rotational system is used in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Every role, from teacher to pastor, in a local congregation is done by lay members. Because each person rotates between various roles over the year

Outside of the true exclusives, console games are just a subset of PC games. So as a PC gamer, you get access to console games + the majority of MOBA, MMO, RTS, 4X.

In the long run, a company that wastes money on purchases will be beaten in the market by a company that isn't so wasteful. Marketing and sales is not wasteful, but actually creates profit.

Contracting requires the devs to get up to speed on the software and your company needs. On the other hand, a private company selling commercial software has a comparative advantage in already knowing the codebase and user needs. 10 compan

Many useful server plugins use chat commands for certain features. The in-game whisper chat feature might also need more configuration to emulate it in the external chat. A Discord server would probably be the best solution.
