  • Do not look into pocketbook. Owner of many years here. My touchscreen failed. The e-ink screen is completely fine. It was never dropped and been babied for all the years I owned it (always transported in its own hard-shell case). It just spontaneously failed and they charge two thirds of the price of a new device for a new touchscreen. A touchscreen of this size costs about 20 euros. They charge 260 euros. (InkPad X) and no, you cannot use any mouse or keyboard, not via USB-C nor Bluetooth. Either your touchscreen works or the device is totaled. Stay away from this trash company. And yes, it is glued together. Because of course it is.

    GIMP, but you definitely should install also the GMIC and resynthesiser plugins. With GMIC especially, you’re getting so many things that not even Photoshop can do, making GIMP objectively superior.

    Edit: If you mean you’re looking for a raw editor, meaning you change the colors and how the image themselves look, then you need Darktable. This is a raw editor. GIMP is mainly for VFX.





  • I’m going to play Devil’s Advocate here: I’m against this because many European projects are incompatible with Canada. In some parts, Canada’s infrastructure is as bad as the USA’s. Look at public transport, for example. Everything is car centric, and if you’re not rich enough to own a car, you’re basically excluded from public life, I don’t mean this in an elitist type of way. Even Germany has significantly better public transport than Canada. Many of the other networking projects such as TEN-T or ETCS do not make sense as it is quite literally separated from the EU. Common standards are only useful when everyone agrees to use them. But as Canada would be the only EU state on the North American continent, they would be the only ones using it. Enhanced political cooperation and trade is always a positive thing, but the EU is more than just FTAs and other diplomatic pleasantries. IMHO.
