But isnt this just kind of a negotiation price? In reality insurance companies will negotiate and make deals with lower prices, and people will still be covered for the same insurance cost, right?

Right. So insurance will cover parts of the cost, depending on the insurance. Thanks, I didnt know.

Lokals around here brew a sweet malt beer with no hops. They experiment with smokey flavors for a more whisky kind of taste.

Absolutely. I love audio design, synthesis and making music, but I have rarely released anything. It took a long time for me to realize and accept that I do this for my own entertainment and not to be a successful musician. Its just a hobby.

Also how are the creators supposed to get paid for their work if everything is free?

People here seem to think ads are just a vile cash grab from google, but in fact most of the ad revenue goes directly to the creators.

Why do you hope they die? It’s not the next one in lune is going to be any better.

Photopea is amazing. Its 90% a clone of PS and is sooo much better than gimp.

I used it today to remove a white background on some of our icons to get a transparent png.

It was as easy as going i to the layer options, blend options, and drag the slider. It even has the option that you can hold alt and split the slider in 2 to get transparency blend as a gradient.

This would be a nightmare in gimp, and photopea does it non destructively. And since its a web app you dont even have to install anything. Amazing.

Sure, this can sort of get the job done with somewhat bad results.

The icons in my case were complex, so a single click with magic wand wound not select all of the parts .

Expand by 4 blurs the icons at the edges. This is actually pretty bad, and would result in lost detail and a washed out look.

The operation in gimp is destructive, so tweaking in multiple steps is not really possible, and creates a bad workflow.

No, Gimp is terrible and not up to the task at all.
