This is good news. There are a lot of great FOSS alternatives on Linux, but raster editing is one of the last few blind spots, I've found.
Krita is designed more for painting,
MyPaint also seems designed more for digital artwork (and, perhaps just in my experience, but it also seemed rather unstable and kept crashing)
KolourPaint is very barebones (seems to be much more a replacement to MS Paint than anything else, so can't really blame it for that)
Inkscape is a vector editor. 'Nuff said.
Pinta is the closest to Paint.\NET you're gonna get on Linux, except it's based on before the latter went closed-source (bastard...) and as such it's not as feature-complete as Paint.\NET is.
GIMP, meanwhile, doesn't even have nondestructive editing and also can't draw basic shapes (like squares, cylinders, etc.), can't seemingly rotate layers without opening the [floating RMB menu] > Layer > Transform > Arbitrary Rotation dialog window, and good GOD the floating menus can go fuck themselves. How I hate the floating menus. Did I mention the floating menus suck? Not sure if I mentioned that.
Anyway, this switch to 3.0 is really needed and I'm genuinely excited to see the changes it brings, to the UI and the UX in particular.
Just a shame that they're switching over to GTK3 when most other developers seem to be transitioning to GTK4.
I see from the "View source" option that your comment has everything in a neat, line-by-line fashion, though the final markup is decidedly not.
So, a pro-tip I've noticed from my own commenting experience: even if you have a line break, Lemmy (for some stupid reason) won't apply one when rendering; so if you want it to show, you have to use two line breaks, though then there will be an extra half-line or so that you probably never wanted.
In their defense, however, it's probably largely not their fault. In my admittedly one-person-sample-size experience, 90% of the searchable Web is either Reddit threads or articles, and with Reddit going officially with Google (meaning DDG doesn't catch as many Reddit threads as they used to), that leaves most of the searchable Web being articles. Because SEO has to ruin everything.
So, it's not really that DDG is shitty (mostly), but that all searches are shitty. Though, with the whole Google-and-Reddit thing, I find Google's results are noticeably less shitty (though still shitty).
Oof, yeah I forgot about the metadata... What you say is certainly true and is worrisome.
Plus, most people who use email don't use encrypted email so even if they can't get a transcript of a conversation from my account, they can certainly get everything from the other account if they also scrape that platform.
No worries. Like I said, I recognize it's a nitpick so not a huge deal. I just thought I'd mention it. It doesn't invalidate your original comment or anything. :)
Lol yeah I heard about that. Apparently they also preemptively made post-quantum encryption illegal? Yeah, I don't like the US, but I'm not sure I'd wanna live in Sweden, that's for sure.
the one thing that the wealthy do understand is class solidarity
Seems we in the working class should learn something from them. Too often we fight amongst ourselves (by design!) when we should be going after the rich.
Ohhh you know that makes sense. So, basically, what you're saying is this?
[Files] = [Files] [Compressed Archive] = [Files] + [Archive Metadata]
