Good to know that you actually give options a try

I’m cheap and have used GIMP, Scribus, Inkscape and Paint.NET for professional work at my job (where I’m basically our one-man marketing and web department). So I’ve had to “make do” with a wide range of free software for a long time. And I may or may not have used a cracked Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator at home, also.

But man, I gotta say the quality and efficiency of my work has improved 10-fold after I bought the Affinity suite (no subscription, and its license allows me to use it commercially too, even though I bought it personally - I love that!)

I haven’t actually used 3.0 yet, but from all the screenshots I’ve seen, it looks basically the same.

Anyone who has, I have a question: Can you draw simple primitive shapes non-destructively yet (without having to open another plugin panel, select something in a very long dropdown, and filling in a bunch of parameter fields)?

PhotoGIMP is the same jank, just taped together in different locations instead. It’s very slightly better, but the actual tools and how you use them are the same. The problem seems to be that Gimp (and all the tools in it) is designed by developers.

The thing preventing me from using Gimp is the terrible UI and UX. And that situation hasn’t really changed very much in the last 15 years, either. I’m getting the feeling that Gimp is stuck as it is because the devs and current users want it like that.

OH. MY. GOD. How did I not know there’s a Old Reddit style interface included in Lemmy???

Targeting Taiwanese, Tibetans and Uyghurs, you say? I bet it was really difficult to figure out who’s behind it.

These articles always read as “bla bla bla fusion bla bla neutrinos bla bla zero environmental impact bla bla billion percent capacity improvement” and nothing ever seems to hit the shelves. We’ve had world changing breakthroughs in battery tech every single week for the last 30 years, it seems.

You can’t even buy working batteries for a most of the old phones I have in my drawer.

The idea is nice, but such a government program would either end up just shipping tons of broken electronics to third world countries, or spending more money testing old electronics compared to what it would cost to buy new cheap feature phones for people in those third world countries.

It’s a bit wasteful yeah, but this 10 meter tube that cost $7 is going to last me many decades if I only do a handful of splices a year with 5-10cm pieces of tube.

I tried something like this with aluminum foil a while back, and it was too finicky for me. Instead I’ve bought some 1.8mm silicone tube and have successfully made a splice with that.

It does not work on my OnePlus 7 at all. If I zoom it crashes, and I have to clear the app data to get it to work again. And if I just take a normal photo it just crashes while processing.

pinky swear

There’s not even a pinky swear. It’s not transactional in any way. It’s just a header you decide to send with every request. It’s the same as someone posting “I do not consent to Facebook harvesting data from my profile!” on their Facebook profile.

Also the && operator in sh. I think you can figure out what happened.

I’m guessing something like… Copy file/dir from location A to location B and then delete from A, but the copy had failed (and the delete unfortunately worked fine)?

Doesn’t that just cut one line at a time?

Move the cursor to the start of what you want to cut, press ALT+A, then move the cursor with arrow keys (you’ll see text be highlighted from where the cursor was to where you move your cursor), then once you’ve moved the cusor to where you want, press CTRL+K to cut.

Why switch from Gitea to Forgejo, if I may ask?

I just… I… I can’t install a browser that’s called “Floorp”. I just cant. I wouldn’t be able to look another person in the eyes and tell them that “I use floorp”. It’s probably a perfectly good fork of Firefox, but I just can’t.

Nope, doesn’t seem like it.
