Mozilla does not look any reliable for people that loves FOSS, yet our current web seems like it’s either Firefox/Gecko or Chrome/Chromium browsers. I wish people were more aware of emergent projects like Servo or Ladybird - even better if they could donate to them. I’m positive either of them could be a serious competitor to the Chrome hegemony.

I still remember looking at it (with its super cool sports car illustration) at the top result(s) at Sourceforge (when Sourceforge was the hub for all things open source, back in 2006), downloading each update from whatever computer from uni and bringing it back home to doddle stuff. Inkscape always was in my top 5 tools for uni along with GIMP (and Krita afterwards), Imagemagick, ConTeXt and MetaPost.

Wanted to join the wallpaper contest but it has to be only and only through a Gitlab account, and the requeriments are rather limiting - and, specially, not a fan of contests that are decided by thumbs-up (or heart emojis, like in this case)

Colombian here - as you might know, most people here are catholic.

A bit of story.

My mother says her eldest brother was like the evil on earth. He raped her younger sisters, used to beat up all of them – his younger brother grew up with serious mental issues because of that, and now we are having issues trying to get him into an asylum because, again, third world problems - stole the house and land of their parents (which wasn’t a lot, but left my mother and her sisters with nothing when their father died) and even treated violently my grandmother. I never got to know my grandparents because they died when my mother was young.

So my mother says one night my grandmother was really ill and this person (I have never seen him, not even in pictures) arrived home and beat her up and went to sleep. Then allegedly “the spirits” (“las almas”) came when he was asleep and beat him up so hard he screamed and woke everyone up - like they could see how “the spirits” lifted him across the room and hit him violently, but never could see any of those “spirits”.

A few weeks or months after that my grandmother died and all of my aunts had to get miserable jobs trying to survive and this bastard still showed up from time to time to steal the few bucks they could earn.

Eventually all of them (except my uncle) got married and all of them but the elder sister never saw him ever again.

Now I’m atheist and don’t believe in this kind of stuff, but the saying is that “the souls” do that kind of thing to really awful people. So if Carson’s incident is true (and if “the souls” exist and are able to do that), now you may have a possible explanation for that.

I’m doas team and now I feel hungry

Last time I talked about Thunderbird here on Lemmy (and was downvoted because, allegedly, Thunderbird and K-9 are the exact same app, according to android@lemmy.world), I seem to recall it was however mentioned one of the differences between the two is that Thunderbird was going to include setup for Google play subscriptions (whatever that is)…

To be fair E always had great potential (I recall reading somewhere some car makers use it in their infotainment UIs), but alas doesn’t have the manpower to keep it at the same pace as some other DEs, even much newer than it. If I were Xfce and got the last straw of the GNOME-ization of GTK I’d rewrite all my shit with the E libraries - hell, it would be awesome if those two merged together.

It’s been a while since I used to use Gimp una daily basis (well, since I graduated from uni, now more than 10 years ago) - and even then there was talk about Gimp 3.0 “in the works and soon to be released”. That’s why the 3.0 release has become like a meme.

I don’t use it anymore and it’s been a while too since I cared about it. But still if they’re getting more developers involved it’s the best improvement they can make imho, even better than any feature they can cram on it. It’s not the lack of resources or the few time their devs have to work on it - it’s their tribalism and ultradefensiveness to even the mildest constructive criticism.

It’s utterly ridiculous they get so defensive when someone asks them about the reason you can’t draw a circle or a rectangle in Gimp as easily as you can with frigging Microsoft Paint. I am yet to know the reason about that.

Last time I tried to express my views about the Gimp’s UX issues at r/linux one of its devs answered almost immediately and tried to lecture me about how everything is in the source code and that they’re not hiding anything and that I was trying to do FUD stuff with them. On top of that absolute nonsense, Reddit being Reddit, I ended downvoted to oblivion just because. What has that to do with being humble and accepting Gimp has plenty of room to improve? Who knows.

Hope that absurd panorama changes with new brains involved in it and Gimp can do that giant leap and keeps improving for the better because, seriously, the biggest issue with Gimp is not its lack of manpower. If you don’t believe me just look at what Krita was when it was “Krayon” and shipped with Koffice, and what it is now.

Ain’t that what edgelord “comedy” is all about, tho?

Once I read somewhere it was because it made possible for them to make phones thinner.

I remember one time at r/peloton one of those tribalistic mildly-xenophobic nutcases told me, after sharing an article in spanish which had some ambiguous word, something to the effect that “spanish is the most confusing language in the world”.

Yes, that genius told that. In english.

Yes I am completely sure… Though I updated repos again and there it is now so maybe a cache thing or something like that.

Now that you’re here, can I ask you how to import notes from notally? I just tried but after importing them it crashes

Can’t find it on f-droid (and yes, I have the IzzyOnDroid repo enabled)

Usually such things have a simple explanation. systemd does a lot with time and date, for example scheduling tasks. It’s quite obvious that it has this capabilities, when you think about it.

FTFY

This is absolutely great! Thank you so much for sharing. It’s my launcher now

Me too. Was unemployed for 2.5 years and completely broke. My own sister bullied me about that to no end on a daily basis. Lost almost all of my hair in less than six months (didn’t even hit 30 with hair in my head and no, my parents nor grandparents never went bald). Was dumped and heartbroken and lost my only and best friend in the world - my dog.

But somehow the COVID thing brought inner peace, a stable job, and pretty much could turn my life upside down.

From my ignorant point of view Microsoft had in its very own hands a solid competitor to Facebook but ended doing absolutely nothing with it.

I still can recall the MSN/Hotmail profiles - it was kind of a news feed that recorded all your statuses from MSN (or you could add your own there). Your contacts could add comments on those. I seem to recall at some point you could add posts with pictures too.

But all of that just disappeared when they ditched MSN.

They could’ve beat Facebook in its own game easily, as they had the advantage of their huge userbase - but somehow they missed on that too.

For starters, it was never “open source”…

Did you click on the ‘Refresh’ button (last image, toolbar)? What happens if you click the yellow-ish area labelled with ‘sd6’ there?
