I still buy some stuff off there but have been using it less, orders over $25 have free shipping, they still want you to spend money with them even if you’re not paying for Prime. Walmart is faster and cheaper for certain things, especially food/pantry items but they are just as evil. I don’t have a Costco membership but they have good deals online from what I can tell, wish they had a physical store in my town that would make it more worth it. If you find a vendor on Amazon that has something you like you could search for that vendor’s actual website online and order directly from them.
I just flipped through the introduction of a GIMP book that the authors hoped 3.0 would be out so they could cover it but ultimately based the book on 2.6 due to delays. It’s copyright 2012, apparently something (didn’t) happen.
