The driver will work fine, but it won’t update to the latest one in the future without GE. (Windows update might update it, but they’re always several versions behind.)

This is great news. Shipping X11 on a system that doesn’t need it is a big waste.

So your “friend’s” unethical business hired unethical workers and now you’ve come here to ask for advice on running your unethical business without paying anyone. Got it.

You are not a good person if this is how you want to get through life.

Your “friend’s” business is very unethical. Maybe your friend should think about what they’re doing with their life, and quit doing this.

Maybe just write the academic works yourself, then they should pass.

Yes. I think the question was should it be labeled as “photoshopped” (or probably “manipulated”). I don’t think it should. I think those labels would be meaningless if you can’t event change the aspect ratio of a photo without it being called “photoshopped”.

I literally described to you what people mean by “photoshopping” in the comment you’re responding to. Can you really not tell that I know that? Also, dropping the r slur will definitely help get your point across, right? You’re really living up to your username.

There are absolutely different levels of image editing. Color correction, cropping, scale, and rotation are basic enough that I would say they don’t even count as alterations. They’re just correcting what the camera didn’t, and often available in the camera’s built in software. (Fun fact, what the sensor sees is not what it presents you in a jpeg.) Then there are more deceptive levels of editing, like removing or adding objects, altering someone’s appearance, swapping faces from different shots. Those are definitely image alterations, and what most people mean when they say an image is “photoshopped” (and you know that, don’t lie). Then there’s AI, where you’re just generating new information to put into the image. That’s extreme image alteration.

These all can be done with or without any sort of nefarious intent.

You don’t have to open photoshop to do it. Any basic editing software will include a cropping tool.

A lot of photographers will take a photo with the intention of cropping it. Cropping isn’t photoshopping.

The label is accurate. Quit using AI if you don’t want your images labeled as such.

I like how the code has ASS in it.

He’s addicted to the Microsoft flavored kool-aid.

My setup is pretty safe. Every day it copies the root file system to its RAID. It copies them into folders named after the day of the week, so I always have 7 days of root fs backups. From there, I manually backup the RAID to a PC at my parents’ house every few days. This is started from the remote PC so that if any sort of malware infects my server, it can’t infect the backups.

Half the population would believe the asteroid is a hoax spread by the [insert ethnic or religious group here].

The home release.

I hug my friends. I don’t want to snuggle with them.

The Cybertruck was literally advertised as able to drive on Mars.

You mean toward the other volcanoes?
