    1. Because it’s a photo editing tool, not a painter. Different priorities.
    2. Because a shape tool requires non-destructive vector layers.
    3. …and implementing that would require a fundamental overhaul of the current vector backend from 2006.

    The development of 3.0 was focused on GEGL and non-destructive editing. Working on the shape tool in parallel would’ve taken away resources and pushed back the release date even further.








  • Keeping in mind that this is a hypothetical scenario and that I did point out that the overall efficiency is dependent on how much of the power is generated by renewables and how much by the on-site diesel generator:

    • An ICE skips the conversion to electricity and its storage. Losses and losses.
    • An ICE vehicle weighs less than an EV of a similar size because it doesn’t have batteries (see this chart to compare the energy density (MJ/kg, horizontal axis) of lithium batteries to gasoline and diesel)
    • There is a point in the diesel/solar ratio at which the system’s overall efficiency is higher with an EV than an ICE, but I don’t know where that is because, once again, you’re pissing yourself over a hypothetical scenario.
