Hello, my name is Cris. :)

I like being nice to people on the internet and looking at cool art stuff

  • Photoshop Style Settings Hotkeys and User Interface for Krita

    Jump

  • Krita seems like a better run project and more competently designed thing, but like the other reply they're kinda made for different things

    Krita is specific to digital painting/illustration. Gimp aims to be more of a drop in replacement for Photoshop with both photo editing tools and painting workflows

  • Torvalds On Linux Security Modules: "I Already Think We Have Too Many Of Those Pointless Things"

    Jump

  • What exactly is a linux security module? Like what do they do?

    Like when there's a security issue, it gets patched- what does a module of some kind add to that?

  • Fediverse wide cross-instance / cross-platform link substitution [UX improvement thoughts]

    Jump

  • Yeah, I wish visiting a fedi site from an external link gave you a little button that said "select your instance" so you can switch when possible

    Its definitely a ux issue that needs some care and attention. My android client at least tries to view the link from my current instance

  • CtrlAssist: Controller Assist for gaming on Linux 🎮🤝

    Jump

  • Thats fucking rad!

  • Fediverse Enhancement Proposals

    Jump

  • Thats super cool!

  • Pebble Time 2 has screws

    Jump

  • Man if I ever get a smartwatch again this is where I'm headed. I love my little Casio's though.

    I hope they make a one or two more options aesthetically. I think their current design is a good design, but really not my personal taste. I'd love to see another option or two as time goes on if its financially feasible for them!

  • Thank Mozilla for Killing Localization on Support Mozilla (And Replacing Human Contributions With AI Bots)

    Jump

  • Its not astroturfing, it's that people have expectations of them beyond just being a browser that let's you access the web.

    Frankly its not that great of a browser (its serviceable. And I use it, or a derivative, pretty much exclusively); generally the reason you use it is because you care about abstract things like not supporting the chromium monopoly, or wanting to pick the project managed with the most care for how it will impact actual humans

    And Mozilla has been making kinda crummy choices with respects to those abstract values more and more regularly it feels like 😅

    Like I really wanna love and support Mozilla. I'm using their browser cause I think its the best choice by the metrics that are important to me. And more and more I just feel kinda exhausted and kinda frustrated with them 😅

  • Amazon’s AI ‘Banana Fish’ Dubs Are Hilariously, Inexcusably Bad

    Jump

  • Wow. I watched some in the embeded tweet and that was uhhh... That was hot garbage...

    Dont watch the tweet if you don't want spoilers, there are important story beats included cause they're scenes with a lot of emotion that the ai dub completely mangles

    Highly recommend the show. Content warning for sexual abuse and exploitation though, its a central part of the story and the show is a very difficult watch

  • Bricklink suspends Marketplace operations in 35 countries (developing story)

    Jump

  • There are plenty of Bricklink sellers in these countries who run their Bricklink stores as businesses, and rely on the income to support their livelihoods and families, so this really should’ve been communicated far ahead of time. I can’t imagine how stressful this might be to read for sellers in those countries.

    Christ... What a shitty situation

  • Building the PERFECT Linux PC with Linus Torvalds - LTT

    Jump

  • I mean ublock origin seems like a simple answer

  • Common Desktop Environment "CDE" 2.5.3 Released After Two Years

    Jump

  • I mean, it's absolutely a shitpost

  • Affinity for Linux? Canva's next big move could reshape the desktop software market

    Jump

  • Gimp is I think a more challenging comparison to its proprietary counterparts than the others you listed unfortunately, but I appreciate and agree with your sentiment here. Ui/ux is such a big part of where foss creative tools struggle, and while some are better than others, its a difficult thing to improve because there's a lot less design talent in the foss world than dev talent. And ui design for large creative software is REALLY a hard design challenge, its not as though the design skill involved is trivial

    Anyway, I think inkscape no longer opens a blank document anymore, at least with fresh installs. Maybe for older installs it keeps the old behavior? You should be able to switch it to a nice little welcome splash with document templates and recently opened files if you'd like :)

  • Looking for a PeerTube instance that actually accepts new users

    Jump

  • Happy threadiverse anniversary :)

    And also Thanksgiving if you celebrate it ☺️

  • Looking for a PeerTube instance that actually accepts new users

    Jump

  • I use peertube.wtf and have had no issues if thats of help. There's an artist on peertube who posts his music I'll see if I can check what instance he's on...

    He's on communitymedia.video :)

    Hope either of these are helpful suggestions :)

  • Common Desktop Environment "CDE" 2.5.3 Released After Two Years

  • I looked up ratpoison cause I couldn't remember what it was and discovered this absolute wild ride of a use-net post that the rat poison website says inspired its name

    not most) users. I attain no high in passive smoking, and only feel the anxiety. The very sad thing is to avoid the anxiety, pot users often either seek more pot, alcohol or benzo's for temporary relief. This is a really silly vicious circle for a little short term relief. Those who think that pot is harmless are diluding themselves or even simply ignorant.

    That's because your not using the Scheme Configurable Window Manager. I found that having the proper WM while toking is extremely important. You need one that absolutely minimizes use of the rodent, and with scwm's synthetic events, awesome key binding supports and scripting, I have a setup which allows me to do everything without pushing about the cursed rolly thing. Thank you Maciej for thinking about all of us stoners when designing SCWM.

    The reason you want to avoid the rodent is that when your coding while chemically modified you will want to minimize any possible distraction or break in concentration. The slightest wavering in your attention will easily explode into a ten minute setback. If you can keep yourself on-track then I find that productivity is greatly increased, and with the properly trained mindset bug density on first pass is usually drastically decreased.

    In the past when working with improper window management I have found that reaching for the rodent and lifting my eyes off my FSF emacs block cursor can trigger undesired distractions, particularly when I'm working in non-Lisp dialects (well except for mercury and Pop-11) because any idle brain wave will be spent bitching to yourself silently about the lameness of the artificial language you are forced to be thinking in presently.

    It should also be noted that since SCWM is extended thru scheme, you have another advantage. Pot and lame type systems like in C/C++ do not mix. THC and Lisp dialects (or Pop-11, and sometimes mercury) are wonderful combinations provided you don't mind spending 20% of your time rejoicing in the beauty that is a dynamic language with uniform syntax and a real goddamn macro system.

    For the particularly bent crowd, I'd reccomend maybe starting out with a Luca Cardelli paper, followed by a round of OCaml hacking, and if you have another bowl to smoke and an evening to waste, follow it all up dinking around in mercury. This recipe will not result in much working code at the end of the day, but your mind will be glowing. I should warn you that only people with hard-ons for abstract mathematics and mathematical logic will really survive this course without a major headache.

    Of course, this should all be done on a Debian Linux box, because you can install all of these languages with a simple apt-get command. With FreeBSD you would have to compile them all, and friggin compiling alien language implementations from France (OCaml) will break your widdle head when stoned. None of the tools I have mentioned so far are BSD licensed, and most are GPLed or Public Domain, and none of them have patents pending (except maybe if you got a fancy bong). When your done, remember, libertarians are people who think they sprung from their own asshole, the free market is a plot to exploit your sorry ass, and all the real elite programmers are wobblies.

    PS: Everything but the last paragraph is a troll.

    What a fucking journey lmao

  • Ukraine Is Jamming Russia’s ‘Superweapon’ With a Song

  • Thats cool as hell, thanks for posting

  • iDescriptor Brings iPhone Management to Linux

  • Sick! Great to see this kinda stuff for iPhone users!

  • Nautilus File Manager In GNOME 50 Will Load Thumbnails Much Faster

    Jump

  • I'd never seen column view but I just looked up pictures and man that seems like it'd be really helpful for my ADHD and poor working memory, its so easy to get lost trying to keep track of what level of nested folder you're in.

    And it'd be so nice to just be able to jump laterally instead of navigating up and then going to a different folder

    Its a shame now I want something gnome devs will never provide. Maybe someday an independent dev will get tired and build a nice alternative. Perhaps I'll try a different file manager and use a theme

  • They were wondering the technical approach not logistical.

    Obviously the logistics are "more money" but given that much about steam is devices is open, they were wondering what technical approach may have been taken, and whether it might be open and possible to piggyback off of.
