Pretty sure they said "go gimp" ironically

You can have multiple instances with Darktable.

I'm on Debian, which is of course behind. I tried installing the flatpak, which is up to date, but the packager removed the AI parts. The only option I have (short of moving to Arc…

Darktable is great. You can easily do pro-level photo editing. Anything you need for editing RAW files, you can do. The modules are powerful. The UI is good. There is a learning cu…

Darktable is top class.

I wish PWAs took off, or a "desktop" environment for phones and tablets that allows me to save a simple website shortcut as an app. I want my phone to be the portal to the places I…

This is naïve. The US government is less democratic than advertised, and there are many factors for that. Not going to write a tome, but if you're going to point a finger at one gr…

Does the city own the land the poles are on?

To whatever degree this site isn't a cesspool, we owe it to Dang, not the bad word police. They didn't swear at you, so there's no reason to get bent out of shape about it. It's ir…

Not to load you up with too many ideas, but a markdown folder sounds a lot like obsidian, which has a plugin system now. Epub would also be a great target.

Another comment said they're not using brushes, so they shouldn't need more maintenance.

US companies outsourcing all of their manufacturing to countries with cheaper labor and laxer environmental & labor laws led to this. What did those titans of industry think would …

They definitely play both sides to spread chaos. That's been extremely effective for them in reducing American power and influence. Getting their messaging out there is also a goal…

Good start, but it still requires eggs?

Quote the entire sentence. >It doesn’t matter that the language you use is memory-safe, if you didn’t design for correctness or have no process that will eventually lead you to fix…

Not really

You have a weirdly restrictive definition of "tinker"

What you're describing seems reasonable, but it doesn't align with what I quoted, unless I'm missing something, which I very well could be. Having apps sleep and a daemon wake them…

The entire architecture here is surprising to me. >an iPhone could not afford to let every installed application maintain its own background poll against a remote server. The propo…
