- Comment on Me when Valve releases a phone 2 weeks ago:
Most sales happen on Steam
I literally already wrote that.
except those few rare examples.
Those “rare examples” combine to a massive revenue. In case of EGS and Fortnite, it’s very clear that EGS is installed and actively used on a giant number of PCs, so the installed base is there. It’s not a Steam monopoly if the user base signed up to and uses EGS for Fortnine and such.
- Comment on Me when Valve releases a phone 2 weeks ago:
And yes, they are a monopoly in gaming.
The biggest PC games aren’t on Steam. Minecraft isn’t, Fortnite isn’t, Roblox isn’t. Because of Fortnite alone, the installed base of EGS is massive, the people just choose to buy their non-Epic games somewhere else.
- Comment on Me when Valve releases a phone 2 weeks ago:
they are a PC gaming company, period.
And a hypothetical Steam Phone would be an ARM PC, dockable for a full PC experience but mobil use could be similar to XPeria Play. It’s not a huge leap from Steam Deck formfactor-wise.
Not even speculation, just shitposting.
Valve confirmed that there are more ARM devices in the making. The type of device is speculation.
SteamDeck doesn’t run Android, it runs full Linux.
SteamOS on Frame is compatible with Android apps because it ships Waydroid. When Valve contributions to Waydroid surfaced months ago, I already speculated that it’s probably a porting aid for Quest games to Deckard but as soon as the tech is there (which it is now), you can bet there is someone at Valve flashing SteamOS onto a Pixel phone or so, just tinker with it.
- Comment on Homebrew, de facto standard package manager for macOS, now forces Apple's $99/yr notarization bullshit for all casks. 2 weeks ago:
Homebrew could provide their own casks of FOSS applications, compiled on their infrastructure and signed by their key. It’s kinda what F-Droid does on phones.

Rich people are only socialist until someone tries to redistribute their wealth. It’s all an act.

So standard Audi driver cruising speed.
- Comment on Never ride in a car with a guy who just got dumped 3 weeks ago:
Regular cuising speed here in Germany (I assume, no idea what a mph is in real units.)

It’s really no energy at all to just install Krita or Gimp to crop 5 images.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 month ago:
I did suggest many things, from how to crop in Krita, using ImageMagick, that Gimp is fully capable of cropping (OP refused to use Gimp for that task because it’s “shit” in his eyes), how to look up open source alternatives on GitHub (I found a bunch, including a python GUI application running locally), etc.
OP made a many BS claims, by insisting that he needs batch processing but when suggesting to self host, he refuses this by saying that he’s only cropping 5 images.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 month ago:
The completely insane claim was “The only infrastructure I’m using is the bit of Javascript and HTML”, meaning one could just save the page and run it fully locally.
This is of course BS.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 month ago:
You claimed that I was uploading and batch-processing images on the developers’ infrastructure.
“Um, achtually I crop images only locally and loading up Photopea in the first place doesn’t count towards freeloading other people’s work.🤓”
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 month ago:
there are definitely problems.
Of course there are but the claim was that Lichtmetzger only needs to crop a bunch of images and Gimp is 100% capable of that and I say that as someone who can’t stand Gimp any longer and moved to Krita and others.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 month ago:
Keep trolling
At least I’m not playing the victim when actually freeloading other people’s work and resources.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 month ago:
which is what woelkchen doesn’t seem to grasp
*whoosh*
I fully grasp it, I was just pointing out how insane your claim is that you don’t use their server resources by making an equally insane counter point.
That’s why all of the accusations that I’m freeloading and straining the developers’ server from batch-processing images are unfunded.
Yes, exactly this insane claim.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 month ago:
Today I’ve learned that cropping five images in a row is “commercial-grade”. Sure…
Today I’ve learned that you cannot use Krita to crop manually because you’re cropping waaay to many images and absolutely need batch processing but you also cannot self-host anything because “it’s only 5 images, man”.
Self-hosting is a good idea, though, if I can find some useful software in that field.
- *types bulk image crop site:github.com into search engine*
- *finds a bunch*
Huh…
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 month ago:
Sir, this is not how the internet works.
Indeed it’s not. That’s why your claim that you can use Photopea without using their resources is BS.
Photopea does not use the developers’ server to do these tasks
Well, it uses the servers to do something and you refuse any compensation.
If I disassembled the obfuscated code and replaced those online references, I’m pretty sure the whole thing would just work.
Then do and host your own version.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 month ago:
I am not paying another high subscription (yes, 96€/year is high for some people) for a tool that processes images locally, no.
Then self-host a tool you need for your commercial-grade tasks.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 month ago:
As I’ve said in another thread, you can open up the site, disconnect your internet and process all of the images just fine. All of that code runs in your own browser.
Then disconnect your internet when ads load. Or save the page if “All of that code runs in your own browser.”
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 month ago:
The only infrastructure I’m using is the bit of Javascript and HTML
If Photopea was so simple, you could just download the necessary parts and self-host.
It’s won’t work because there is actual server-side code running, meaning you’re hogging someone else’s resources to do your commercial-grade tasks.

cant
…
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 month ago:
I am mildly infuriated.
Calm down.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 month ago:
I am not financially supporting developers who act like this.
You were not financially supporting the developers before either. You admitted that you do frequent batch processing of many images on their infrastructure. If anything, losing you as a user is saving them money.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 month ago:
that is absolutely, 100% worth complaining about.
So commercial-grade batch processing of images on other people’s infrastructure and dodging any form of compensation is 100% worth complaining about? OK.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 month ago:
then acting entitled to use the Photopea author’s own personal work with zero compensation.
Running batch tasks on the Photopea author’s own infrastructure because Photopea is a website. Lichtmetzger wrote in a reply that he’s not using Photopea to edit a photo once in a while and now he’s bummed out (I would kinda understand that) but that he’s actually processing a big number of images on someone else’s resources.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 month ago:
Calm down.
Why would I be not calm? I’m not the one getting nervous at looking at other alternatives.
And now tell me how to batch-crop and export multiple images as .webp
imagemagick.org/…/command-line-processing.php
Use the right tool for the job instead of complaining.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 month ago:
It’s nice but I need something simple for cropping images in a certain aspect ratio/resolution and then exporting it to webp. I think Krita isn’t the right tool for that.
If you have trouble cropping and exporting under Krita, maybe using computers isn’t the right thing for you. It’s literally a single mouse click on this icon:

Your comment has really been buried under all that spam. Didn’t think I could redeem it 16 hours later. Thanks a lot.
