As a Photoshop replacement, there's Photopea.

It's not as heavy duty, but the layout/tools are pretty much the same so it feels significantly more intuitive of you're used to the PS way of doing things than Krita, GIMP, etc .

I'm well aware. I was specifically talking about the modern tactic of sit-ins in the middle of busy intersections and protestors glueing themselves to the tarmac, and so forth.

I never called into question political protest in general, even though that's apparently what people are assuming I said.

If you want an actual forecast, wind and cloud cover data, and smooth, granular control of the timeline then Flowx is basically this but better.

Nope, that's it.

Yes but running a system update will remove it.

This is a valid viewpoint, but arguing what should be the case versus what is the case has to be a measured risk in politics.

Yes, the flag can represent positive values however in the UK specifically, the fact is that there is already a strong connotation of jingoism, nationalism, and imperialism associated with waving it, for the left wing in particular.

Thefore Starmer should know that while this decision may succeed in attracting positive public attention from those in the centre/right, many on the left will have a strong, innate, negative reaction and you can't dismiss that reaction by saying simply telling people "you shouldn't feel that way."

Just to be clear, these are the most popular metal bands from each country, according to worldwide listening stats, correct?
