Jack of random trades at random times that randomly catch my interest for a random amount of time.
If I can recall the vid I watched on GIMP 3, the whole UI is now customizable with CSS. You could dive a bit into it and see if you can change out or recolor the icons (recoloring should be doable if they’re SVG, but you might need to decode base64, change the color and recode it into base64).
However, it shouldn’t be too long before custom UIs start pouring out. So if CSS isn’t your thing, keep checking back and see if someone has made something that ticks all your boxes!
It really all boils down to “live how you want as long as you’re not bothering others”. If you believe heavily in it, then live by it, but stop slamming it into the heads of people who believe the opposite or just don’t care.
It’s part of the reason why younger gens cringe at religion. “Do this or you will go to hell, but do it through us because you’ll go to hell if you do it through another religion.” It’s enough to make anyone balk, and rightfully so. The ground is always shaky, it just doesn’t feel as shaky if you shake with it.
…Now I want a shake.
Now the real question is… do you use fish shell?
I’m in the same spot, tbh. I want to do something, but I just can’t figure out what yet. I’m not giving up though. We can definitely do this.
I partially agree. Intelligence tends to also go hand in hand with anxiety a lot of the time. A lot of true geniuses don’t even know what social integration is. There are a lot of extremely intelligent people that shy from society as a whole.
It might be just the groups I’ve been in, but I’ve seen a lot of escapism in the intelligent individuals I’ve met, and people are all too happy to just ignore their existence and flock to the few shining stars. I can’t quite really put words to this, so I may not be really articulating what I mean properly. Sorry about that. I’m honestly just concerned for the good people that get squashed by society. That just don’t fit in. Most of those individuals tend to be highly intelligent, however, ridiculing people who aren’t as intelligent is the same deal.
I guess I mean to say that my people are the hiding people. The people who have something to say or to contribute, but this fast paced world is just too much for them.
I use Krita, Aseprite, and Gimp. I must say, though, I’m loving Gimp 3. Now if we could just push past the proprietary docx plugins bullshit and make odf industry standard…
Edit: Ah, shoot. I forgot Inkscape for vector art. Shame on me… I love Inkscape.
I believe that its pointless to argue this way or that about antinatalism, as we no longer have control of a population encroaching 8 billion. It just becomes a moot point to bash each other on over the internet (which can be said about a multitude of other subjects).
I’m not going to have kids. That’s just what I want. Going extreme on antinatalism or pronatalism is just circling back to telling other people what they should do with their bodies. Everything is just so extreme these days. Its do or die in the eyes of the public, no matter what you do, and its grating.
I believe that intelligence is stupidity in the opposite direction, but not in the way that most think.
Edit: Let me clarify that anything in the extreme is fallacy. Intelligence becomes isolation, wisdom becomes condescension, stupidity becomes ignorance.
Yet most seem to think excess amounts of wisdom and intelligence is tantamount to success and even being just a little bit stupid is something to ridicule. I will die on this hill.
I love btop, too, though I tried out gotop and it was actually pretty slick.
Then there’s my love, Midnight Commander, but Yazi, Ranger, and Superfile are all great alternatives. TUI file managers are the best compromise between the dangerous sudo rm and the sometimes overbearing GUI file managers.
I use GUI and CLI evenly and TUI really hits that sweet spot for me.
CLI this, GUI that. Where are my TUI degens?
Maybe not butt farts, but butter for sure.
Big corp facts.
Mullvad, (the vpn, I have not tried the browser) uses a single account number as both name and password, no emails. It allows for multiple anonymous payment methods and it’s open source.
Sliiiiightly more trustworthy than Google imo.
Thankfully compiling on Windows was as easy as searching for a guide online. When I switched to CachyOS there was also a package in the AUR that seems well maintained.
I like that LibreSprite exists though. I wonder if it can use Aseprite’s extensions. I might have to check it out just to see.
Once my financial situation is settled I do want to pay. Aseprite is an amazing tool and the devs deserve my money at this point. They don’t ask much and still keep it available to compile for free. That’s real marketing, imo.
We’re that one cousin no one talks about.
Lemmy is far from perfect, but so is Reddit, and Reddit is falling further every day. Some users on Lemmy have a bad time because they come barrelling in without reading instance tags, pick an instance name they think is cool, and suddenly find themselves on the front lines of a massive drama war and slapped with tags they didn’t even know existed… I know from experience.
So then they’ll run off back to Reddit without reading and actually finding the right instance and start screaming how bad it is. Couple that with Reddit trying to hush everything Lemmy and doctoring their platform to make it look bad… yeah.
I’ll admit I still use Reddit from time to time because there are communities that don’t exist here yet that are actually good communities staying out of this battle. But you can bet your ass I use RedReader and uBO to do it. The moment Reddit started charging exorbitant API fees and peddling NFTs I cut my use back by 90%.
So pick your poison: Do a little research and find the right instance and communities or live as the product and run around with the blinders they give you. Its literally a red pill blue pill deal.
I ran DVI for quite a while until my friend’s BenQ was weirdly green over HDMI and no amount of monitor menu would fix it. So we traded cords and I never went back to DVI. I ran DisplayPort for a while when I got my 2080ti, but for some reason the proprietary Nvidia drivers (I think around v540) on Linux would cause weird diagonal lines across my monitor while on certain colors/windows.
However, the previous version drivers didn’t do this, so I downgraded the driver on Pop!_OS which was easy because it keeps both the newest and previous drivers on hand. I distrohopped to a distro that didn’t have an easy way to rollback drivers, so my friend suggested HDMI and it worked.
I do miss my HDMI to DVI though. I was weirdly attached to that cord, but it’d probably just sit in my big box of computer parts that I may need… someday. I still have my 10+ VGA cords though!
This is less of a Linux problem and more of a kernel access problem. Microsoft hinted at shutting down kernel access, but I’ve learned not to hold my breath about anything Microsoft says. Personally, I made the sacrifice. I have plenty of other games I like to play that don’t have kernel-level anticheat.
Wait wait. I just found something. Head to Edit > Preferences > Icon Theme and switch to Legacy.
And bam. Gimp 3 is out, though! Should already be updated if your system is up to date!
