Gwenview is a new one on me. Thanks for the tip! Downloading it now.
Raster as background and marking up as vector graphics on an overlay.
There are lots of use cases for exactly that, like certain graphics tasks my partner does for her employer (flyers, t-shirt designs). with an existing raster image as background in Inkscape. For what I do, that workflow would be serious overkill.

Inkscape is for vectors and handles rasters poorly. I love Inkscape, but it boots slowly. Paint.NET is fast and light. Perfect for marking up screenshots for technical documentation. Pinta does okay in this role, but it's no Paint.NET.

I don't know, man... My Gentoo evangelizing coworkers... those dudes fuck. One is in a death metal band, the other is a kick-ass turntablist, and the third is a free-climber. They all wear Crocs with socks and have to beat back the admirers with a stick.

I'm sure it's the Gentoo that makes them who they are . 😆

Audio configuration: I just install DRS in Win10 and it works, as does all of the GPU integration*. My DAW also just works, no fiddling with the buffer to get rid of the crackling or to get it recognized.
FL Studio: It's not really FLS that I'm missing but rather I have a couple VSTs that absolutely won't work in Linux, plus a huge amount of patches I built in those instruments. However, Bitwig kicks so much ass that it's been worthwhile to try to rebuild those sounds inside Bitwig's Grid.
Inventor and AutoCAD: I hate Autodesk with the fury of a 1000 suns, but I know these apps cold and have a huge library of parts and assemblies. FreeCAD just ain't there yet, and the new workbench menu has been an annoying learning curve. Inventor can handle enormous assemblies on my (previously running Win 10) laptop; FreeCAD still crashes when the object tree gets over a certain depth even on my burliest workstation. Assemblies in FreeCAD are a total mess too. I want to love FreeCAD and have great hopes for future versions.
Suspend: one of my laptops won't suspend correctly. Sometimes it reboots, sometimes it suspends, sometimes it goes into a weird middle state running at full throttle but the screen is dark and the keyboard is unresponsive even to REIUSB. I just always shut it down now, no BFD.

And despite all that, I don't miss Windows at all.

*DRS was actually painless on Aurora Linux with my big workstation that only has a dGPU. All my computers with both iGPU and dGPU were more fiddly. I mostly blame Nvidia on this issue. I'm pretty sure the suspend problem is also an iGPU/dGPU thing and also blaming Nvidia for that.

Yes to all, actually, except Forks. Not much ocean in Forks. :D We move around based on weather/Banana Belt, where friends are in town, and any other factors that strike our interest.

I was somehow unaware of this person before

Right?! I mentioned Sudachi to an old college friend with whom I've had a decades-long mutual cooking and food chemistry journey. MFer was all, "Oh yeah, been following him for years. He's awesome." I'm starting to question my friendship with this guy... :D

How exotic are the ingredients?

I think it all comes down to... well, everything. My sailboat has been off the coast of a small city (~6000 people) on the Washington Olympic Peninsula for a few years now. I can go ashore any time, I have a cargo bike and a motor vehicle. Plus I can just pick up and sail to, say, Seattle. I can usually find what I need here in town. I don't use Amazon, and I try to avoid delivery services when possible. In my experience, the hardest ingredients to find locally are almost always shelf-stable. So I will have a friend in Portland OR or Seattle WA pick up a bunch of things for me at one of the huge Asian groceries, package that up, and mail it to me. If it's perishable, like fresh noodles, I'll arrange all a long day of restocking, then go all over the place to get things I need.

On Omura's website, he usually discusses reasonable substitutions and omissions in pretty good detail. This is an example of my comment about how the site and book are complementary. He even has a whole page on his site dedicated to alternatives and "don't try to swap [Y] for [X]." https://sudachirecipes.com/japanese-ingredient-substitutes/

Kid asked the wrong person

I understand at least some of the downvotes, because it's probably a sore spot for some people. I'm Vietnamese and this shit has always been hilarious to me. Sure it's a bit of a hackneyed joke at this point, but I still reach for similar jokes when, for example, people sincerely mistake me for my cousins.

Racial prosopagnosia (seems like the wrong word for it, but that's what I got) is a real phenomenon. It wasn't until my mid teens that I could distinguish between some faces of most races. Hell, I still have difficulty distinguishing Polynesians and some Native Americans.

I neaten my bathroom every day. Police the water splatters (before they become water stains), lint, soap scum, toothpaste/saliva deposits in the sink, stray hairs, wipe the bowl... And then I deep clean once a week.

How could online identity work without permanent usernames or unrecoverable accounts?

Jump

JayleneSlide @lemmy.world 2w ago

If I'm reading you correctly, this is what Decentralized ID (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_identifier) aims to resolve, not just for social accounts. I wrote the initial DID implementation for my previous employer, but FIs, especially credit unions (our primary customers) were still a ways off from implementing it.

My familiarity with ATProto (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT_Protocol) is extremely shallow, but as I understand it, ATProto can use DID. Hopefully someone else will come along and provide more info or correct my error.

YSK that treatments for back pain can cost thousands. But scientists found some of the best fixes are actually free

Jump

JayleneSlide @lemmy.world 2w ago

I can't say for sure one way or another. But the rudiments of PT are all pretty similar for a given joint. There are finite variations on how human joints move and the muscles that actuate those joints.

Sure, but if you're suffering from radiculopathy (pinched spinal nerve root), the sleep deprivation and increased stress make those interventions more difficult. The article failed to mention inexpensive and free physical therapy interventions.

If you are suffering from lumbar or cervical radiculopathy (or a slew of other joint pains), check out McKenzie Method therapy. It's free/freely available, designed to be within reach of anyone, and can be done just about anywhere. Bob and Brad are prolific in providing exercises to get you back into fighting form. Robin McKenzie's book "Treat Your Own Back" is also excellent.

Edit to add: a lot of radiculopathies manifest as referred pain, e.g. a pinched nerve in C4-C5 might feel like tightness or pain in the trapezius, under the scapula, in the elbow, or at the extremes, pain and tingling in first and second digits. Sciatica is the the most "famous" of radiculopathies.

Anecdote: I had a C4-C5 radiculopathy, and it was pushing me into disability territory. The orthopedist wanted to do all kinds of stupid, expensive, invasive shit. I stumbled on McKenzie's back book and was back at work in two days. I also suffered from piriformis pain for over a decade. It was an L4-S3 radiculopathy. A few minutes of basic McKenzie stretches, and it goes away.
