  • What about “No More”??? Like, THEY wrote it and they performed it. What happened?

    [Verse 1] Once again we hear them calling for war It doesn’t matter what they’re fighting for They light the match and watch the whole world burst into flame The story’s always the same So tell me, people, are you ready to kill? Behold the propaganda, get your fill A distant enemy is threatening our freedom again How much would you like to spend?

    [Pre-Chorus] Millions are falling in line And it’s just a matter of time Endless destruction will ensure their pockets are lined For all time

    [Chorus] No more defending the lies Behind the never-ending war

    They count the money as the innocent continue to bleed

    They paint a picture, and the whole damn world is deceived

    I guess they also have other older songs like Immortalized and Indestructible which seem to be pro-war. I thought they had improved or something.

    Today we feed on domination Secure a legacy that will never die Be immortalized

    Show no mercy, let the world see We’re invincible

    Every broken enemy will know That their opponent had to be invincible Take a last look around while you’re alive I’m an indestructible master of war











  • Oh I didnt see the downvotes😅

    Hm, to explain my reasoning:

    • I saw them talking about stuff that seemed complex to me and seem to have some experience with servers (already had a server), so I’d say they know way more about me and I’m going to set up a nixos server in like a month (been using them on my laptop for ~9months, but not in any fancy way). If I can, they I guess they probably can too.

    • I thought about throwing an idea to consider. I’m too in the process of learning so I cant give a good plan yet:/

    I see that in the end they ask for a nuanced answer, rip, I failed to do that





  • Steps I think of:

    • Id create a square canvas (1024*1024?)
    • Id create two background layers.
    • Id split each layer in 4 parts with rulers, use the square rectnagle select tool (with magnet on), slect each area and pain it with color backet.
    • Id paint the bottom background with the color of the faces and the front background with the background color (hope this makes sense)
    • Id use the arrangement tool and arrange each image to the center of each quarter
    • Id set each image to grayscale
    • Id use them as a layer mask. Black->transparent. White->opaque. This step has some substeps:
      1. Right-click on the layer with the front background
      2. Add layer mask (full opacity)
      3. Click on the layer with the face and ctrl+c (copy the layer)
      4. Click on the mask of the front layer and press ctrl+v (paste the layer).
      5. It will show the pasted layer as a floatijg layer mask. Press the anchor at the bottom of the layer widget to apply the pasted layer as the layer mask of your front background layer. (Source.)
    • Id use the threshold tool to retain only the most prominent features of the faces by clicking on the layer mask of the front background layer, clicking on the canvas and dragging the two outer sliders towards the middle (maybe Id use a paint brush and an eraser to bring/remove any details). If you cant see the tool either enable it by edit/preferences/toolbox or type “/” and type “threshold”.
    • For the text you gotta play with the gimp fonts and text editor, not the most fun thing, but it may work.

    Tada:)
