I remember reading about it like 10 years ago along with LunarLinux (e: and sorcerer) as was curious about other source based linux distros. I thought both were dead, glad that at least sourcemage is still alive

Still it’s ridiculous they only allow submissions via a gitlab account. Oh and not only whatever gitlab account - it has to be done with one created in that instance. Same thing for voting!

And if that wasn’t ridiculous enough, there’s all those requeriments for people submitting their wallpaper.

When I learned about the contest thought about doing one and submitting it, but with all those limitations? Not even an email to send your wallpaper? Forget it. Not even sure why they announce this contests in the first place.

Gentoo because I like it.

And portage.

I tried to do a couple of icon sets that went with that trend for KDE. At one point I was involved with the KDE VDG and was about to set the style of the icons they’d use.

But apparently some suit told them they needed to go completely flat as they needed to plaster Firefox/distros/whatever logos on it, so everything needed to look consistent.

So in the end I got bored about it and stepped away. I’m trying to redo a new square-shaped-skeumorphed icon set but it’s so much work - like it’d need to be your daily job to pull it off.

However, if you take a look at it, it’s already in this one - some of them are just the base shape with some logo plastered on it (like the whatsapp one, or the one with the butterfly) and voilá, there’s your icon.

So icon sets are incredibly hard, and if you want a skeumorphism icon set its hard squared. That’s another of the reasons flat icons thrive today.

It says it uses webkit, so does Epiphany, so most probably it’s based on it.

(commenting so someone corrects me and so they reply your question) i guess they will work on it when they port it to Qt6? I heard they will be porting Krita eventually but haven’t heard when they’re going to do it.

I did not know Krita does not have Wayland though, I used to use it with Wayland without any problems whatsoever so not sure what that means

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)

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)…

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.

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)

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?

Not only because third world issues, but because I like adrenaline, I don’t have any backup strategy but an old external HDD where I haven’t copied stuff since 2018.

When I could afford a new PC and tried to rsync my data from my old crappy laptop, much of it was lost.

That being said, I had a backup strategy back in the day that was burning CDs. I used to have a second HDD (a IDE one) but they were so freaking bad all of them went bad after a year or so, so I have like 3 or 4 of them stored without any chance to recover their data.

Yup, that’s what I mean

Codeberg. I host my web portfolio live there and even did a small contribution to kbin when it was alive. It’s great though now I’d want to look at forgejo.

and Gentoo computers

Did you unmasked it, or did it already hit stable in the KDE repo?
