And now suddenly HP seems like a better brand - thank you Josephine Tan! ☺️

GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) version 3.0 is finally out now

I think the contributors today have done a great job improving GIMP. It's a lot more usable now. And it really looks like a thankless job at times.

So, thank you, Jehan, Alx Sa, and everyone else working on GIMP. It's nice to be able to use it to get my simple image manipulation tasks done on Linux. Hope the Wilbur Foundation is up and running soon.
Well said :)

Also: Skyrim. Brotato. My Time At Portia. Sleeping Dogs. THPS 1+2. Into The Breach. Hitman. Dungeon Clawler.

Actually some of those might be slightly above 10 pounds. I don't care. Great fun on Steam Deck!

Oh ok, so if they revoke a license how are they going to stop you from playing then?
I think that is not the question here... That way you can argue you can always download a pirate torrent mirror of the game in question (same file checksum, everything) to always be able to play it...
