There isn't a general term for the "global south". But when I say Western you know exactly which countries I'm referring too.
South would probably either be "Latin countries" or "Sub Saharan Countries" depending on which side of the globe you're looking at
Not sure what I'm allowed to comment, mods here keep removing my shit.
Ah well so much for all that
My favorite part are the upvoters - the ones who didn't think twice but saw "yeah fuck anti vaxxers!" and put in zero thought
I've even gotten up votes since after you deleted the comment. I swear this place is mostly bots
Fair enough, I see where you're coming from. Id suggest though, that selfishness and greed are easy to predict - moreso than radicals whose country was backed into a corner of starvation and depression by the rest of the world.
They wont unless it's a near total monopoly. They're always aiming for 10% gains every year for their investors.
The amount of people who use ad blockers is somewhere around 10% according to some articles, so I'm guessing this ad block push is to scoop up 10% more in ad revenue
Masking is not nearly as easy to apply. It's very quick to get smooth edges in your mask in Photoshop.
Photoshop now has a built in AI (Beta Version) to generate backgrounds or add things to your image.
In GIMP, you can only use one artboard (canvas) at a time. Photoshop can have multiple within one file
Photoshop can link directly to illustrator and can handle vectors, not just rasterized images.
Most of the scaling and filtering tools just tend to work better in Photoshop. Also The "Object Selection" tool in Photoshop is amazing. This doesn't exist in GIMP.
Smart objects are nice too (Photoshop only) - makes it so you can edit one object and change it across multiple artboards + other functionality.
And one of my biggest issues, GIMP can't edit pictures in CMYK - it's a big work around just to try and export your sRGB image to CMYK in GIMP, but your colors will change.
Literally the only thing I like GIMP over Photoshop for is that it's easier to add gradients with a transparency
Edit:
Oh and gimp is good at changing specific color hues quickly. But that's all I've found
TIL - Thank you for the insight!
