From the update:

One area we want to focus on after 3.0 is improving our UI/UX design process. We have set up a separate UX repository to report and discuss issues related to design. We are looking to build a team of designers to discuss and create design improvements to GIMP that also respect existing user’s workflows. Denis Rangelov has taken a strong interest in this area and has already done great work in identifying, categorizing, and moving design issues from the code repository to the dedicated design section. Some design improvements have already been implemented for 3.0, and we look forward to working with community designers to give people a better experience!

It’ll take some time, but it seems like improvments may be coming.

I’m afraid this answer isn’t 100% correct. There are ways to find out a file’s type beyond looking at an extension. For example, there are lots of file formats where all of the files start with a specific sequence of bites, known as a file signature (or as “magic bytes” or “magic numbers”).

You can try the file command line tool to check that you can find out a file’s format without resorting to its extension, and you can read the tool’s manpage to learn how it works.

This is so funny

I liked your guide, but the vocabulary feels a bit too technical for people who have never used Linux before and aren’t tech savvy.

How do you think one should get started with Emacs? Should they start start with regular GNU Emacs or should they install one of the “distros”?

It’s kind of stupid this even has to exist tbh

No matter how good or bad the books are, their cover art is so cool

“Sorry, but we can’t pay in advance, you’ll have to put the work in first”

Is it? Didn’t know about it until now…

You have to put /s in the end, because people in this day and age can no longer recognize sarcasm, probably because we all spend way too much time on the Internet.

“Sure, we’ll pay you 2% of the profits”

everything and their mother in 4k60

Here before someone makes a “yo mama” joke

Can someone please explain the joke?

Boo, what a blatant copy of the https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ /s

Real Kanjidamage vibes

For anyone wondering:

1. There was a plugin on Unity Store that acted a bridge between Unity and libVLC, which allowed developers to make video players inside the game engine. As the post says, it got removed.
2. This plugin isn’t made by VideoLAN, it’s made by a company named Videolabs that includes several people who supposedly have contributed a lot on VLC and FFMPEG.
3. The Videolan team made a blog post about this, if you want to know more: https://mfkl.github.io/2024/01/10/unity-double-oss-standards.html

Can’t wait for the tech reviews on this thing.

Imagine doing a 720 motion input for turning off your computer

As far as I can tell, content published via the Nostr protocol cannot be deleted, and this seems to be using it, so there’s that. Also, it seems like it allows you to easily send crypto to the video creator…? There’s also the fact that, whenever multiple are watching the same video at the same time, Peertube can pretty much create a P2P network to speed up download speeds, which I think no other video platform does.

When talking about cool programs, you can’t forget the classic cowsay
